msbelle, I'm sorry. It's hard to watch and think "If you would just -" about your adult offspring.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YES! Just pass two easy af Community College classes a semester AND YOU HAVE SHIT PAID FOR!!! JFC. (to be clear, I do not take this tone with him)
Of course he is not responding to my texts.
I guess I should start really organizing the basement in case moving here is the choice.

This too shall pass.
I'm sorry, msbelle. I hope he gets his act together faster than my eldest.

The status is NOT quo.
Amyparker, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. Thinking about you and your loved ones.
Also, msbelle, ugh. I don't even know.
And yes, Dcp is, as always, a good egg.

Much health~ma to your father, amyparker.
It has not been an easy year to be a student, and some schools are doing better in accommodating that than others. I hope Mac can find a way to move forward that isn't too onerous for you, msbelle.

Love and good healing vibes coming your and your dad's way, amyparker.
Agree on dcp and good egg-ness.
Such a weird day. It started out with missing half of my bi-weekly call with my sisters, because I just forgot and was asleep, then my friend-boss forgetting about our 10:30a call, then being late for my book club Zoom... because I was finishing this week's reading, tbh... and then all of a sudden it was 3p, and I had the hungries.
I am supposed to start my online meditation learning course today. Perhaps if I had gotten up earlier and started with that, things would've been less... thing-y.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been wrestling with the notes for a Zoom call yesterday (yes, another one) and I am really struggling. I was late to the call (which annoyed my boss), so I missed the first five minutes, got repeated phone calls during it so I missed out on some of what was said. I've been working through the recording but keep losing track of what people were talking about. And I keep getting phone calls with no one on the line when I answer (I suspect butt-dialing, but can't think how or why there are so many). I keep trying to block the numbers, but they still get through. sigh ... just my rant for the day ....
