Thanks everyone
Ah. Well, hey, fair enough reasoning, strangers by their very definition can make someone feel really nervous/shy/awkward/what have you. I totally understand that.
Go figure cats . My sister's cat likes to curl up on pizza boxes (or in them, if they're empty). And mine likes to lay on my mom's purse (it's one of those bigger bag-style purses), or her clothes, or piles of random paper that might be on the floor... I fail to see how that can be remotely comfortable, but if it works for them, what the hey ?
Ohhhhhh, I see. Eesh. Well, that's at least an explanation for the behavior, not that it really makes things better. Perhaps that's her way of trying to block out whatever crap happened in their childhoods or something? I dunno. But that suddenly makes the whole thing very sad to me.
Wow. Ugh. Yeah, mean drunks are one thing and suck enough as it is, but the whole "not being around kids" thing is particularly troubling. I can certainly see why you want to distance yourself from such a group, I'd be scared to be around that regularly, too. I think your comment about your grandfather is quite true-it does seem like some of the nastier people in the world seem to stick around longer than the nice ones for some reason or another, so I would've probably thought the same thing, too.
That's okay. I feel bad now for even getting you into all this discussion, I didn't mean to get you onto that sort of thing, given it seems a difficult topic. But you do have my sympathies, I'm sorry that you have to deal with that sort of crap . I hope somehow things work out for you and your mom and brother on the family front, even if just by getting your things back and moving on and focusing on a happier life for you guys.
I could use some hugs right now.
Going through a hard time right now. Basically a broken heart
Thanks, Kristen!
ABSOLUTELY, zu! I think the three of us appreciate him most, so the oggling is open to all.
Bruises are like badges of honour!
So my "new" TV is set up and working fine. It's SO much smaller than my other one, so it's going to take me a bit to adjust to the smaller screen. Oh well, it's better than no TV! My old TV is sitting in the middle of the living room, because I almost threw my back out trying to move it - it's SO damn heavy. I'm going to have to move it eventually, but not now. Ooof.
TVs are heavy as hell! Glad you have a working one though. I don't watch much but sometimes it's really nice to just veg in front of the tube.
I hadn't moved this TV since I first got it. I wasn't expecting it to be THAT heavy. I think I might have to get my landlord in to help me move it out of here, because I can barely lift it an inch off the floor. I'm going to have to do some research and find out if there's a place I can take it to be responsibly recycled (if that's even an option), rather than just taking it to a dump or something.
I watch a LOT of TV, but that will all be changing now that I'll have something to do during the days. I'll still be watching TV at night, but no longer in the middle of the day. So long Ellen - it was nice watching you while I could.
Put a pretty cloth over it and call it a coffee table!
Thanks : hug: It's a boy broken heart.
Thanks! : ) It will be so nice to get out of the house every day and interact with people again.
I missed Ali???? And somehow in catching up this morning I missed her post too. Awesome news about the band, Ali! How'd it feel playing for a crowd? Did you get a new cable already?
Miss you!!!
So I went mountain biking again today. : shifty: It was sooooo fun and soooo hard and I toook one fall, but it was a pretty major one. Couldn't move my foot for a minute and that really freaked me out but it turns out that was because I'd hit my calf on a rock and it just cramped up, like a charlie horse. I was able to walk it off. So glad I was wearing capri length pants b/c my knees got pretty banged up. Icing it now - will ice the heels of my hands in a minute. I feel like such a badass!!! But every time I look down, I see another bruise! : lol:
