Good luck with that. If they sell, I hope you can be retained with better pay.

You need a nice big flashlight! Got to see where you're stepping, so it's not in a pile of frog goo.

The frogs serenade us here all night long, by the water on top of the pool cover (which is rife with toad roe).....lol

Wow you always do have stuff going on, don't you? Dead green things oil? Gotta give you points for trying!

There should be a market for dead green things somewhere, Mahala.

I hope Ma stays put now and counts her blessings.

Sorry that the LLD didn't acknowledge Mother's Day - but having been in her spot, I can remember that deer in the headlights feeling. Hope she will "come around" soon.

A stinky hiker's swamp ass, to be more specific.

2012-04-26T20:45:40.833-04:00

If I were Kay and heard what you said, and then Fester, I might have been uncomfortable but only because he was obviously trying to embarrass you, not because he was right. He's an ass.

2012-04-26T14:48:07.833-04:00

Is it sad that the message I took from this is that Uncle Fester doesn't get the credit he deserves? Don't get me wrong, that whole "Being a better person" thing was cool.

That was Very Christian of him. What an a$$. It&...

2012-04-23T17:08:43.937-04:00

That was Very Christian of him. What an a$$. It's funny how sometimes when a person takes the high road, they still get smacked down... but don't beat yourself up Mahala. He's the one who looks bad, not you.

2012-04-23T12:38:26.882-04:00

Good for you being the better person, especially to someone we hope is kidnapped by aliens from outer space. Hee, hee.

2012-04-23T08:44:00.074-04:00

You can never lose taking the high road. Small minded mean people (and I know many of them) are only happy when they are making others feel bad. It's not you it's them (him especially) Try to ignore and live your life in a way that works for you. They are not your judge...and you owe no one explainations. I am sure Kay knows what you meant and probably thinks he is just a big ass.

Just tell Kay. One way or the other, it'll wor...

2012-04-23T00:41:23.190-04:00

Just tell Kay. One way or the other, it'll work out right. If for no other reason than to just be heard. Not a long convo just a, "Hey, you know I just meant that Ma is more like her old self, right?"She might not have even noticed.

However it came about, she's getting help. He ...

2012-04-22T22:41:56.437-04:00

However it came about, she's getting help. He was there to see how bad she'd gotten, but his holier than thou attitude, which is the same as Bubbles, told him to blurt that out rather than admit to the truth. If everyone knew all the details they would understand what you meant, but you shouldn't have to go around giving all the details to everyone in town. You worry about you and TA, everyone else can suck it

I'm sure everyone in town knows how addled you...

2012-04-22T17:53:30.391-04:00

I'm sure everyone in town knows how addled your Ma could be at times - it's too small a place to NOT know. He was just being small and mean, neither of which is your fault. Hold your head high. you're doing right by someone who is difficult (and perhaps more that ONE someone).

A nice quick rejoinder would have been - 'now, you know what I'm talking about, I'm happy she's more like her old self now, is what I meant.'

But of course we never think about those things at the time.

2012-04-19T21:31:06.690-04:00

we dumped a whole try of tomato seedlings as well. Maybe that's a rite of Spring?

Glad Ma is getting help. Lord knows you needed it. Is TA adjusting to life on her own well?

2012-04-11T21:18:17.304-04:00

Actually, I can see how that would work. My dishwasher detergent smells strongly of bleach, Dawn removes greasy stuff, and vinegar shines! Kind of amazing!

All I can say is WOW. Sounds like a whole lot of stuff to deal with. I hope the LLD gets a chance to get to know you. I have never met you but I like you. I think she will too, if she will let herself. Good luck.

2012-04-09T12:52:38.024-04:00

Congratulations!! Both for the Mom thing and you + TA making contact with LLD.Must have been quite the stunner.
