Strange Words at Night

Trust me.  I asked directly, desperately, repeatedly, and nobody ever helped. It's just something they say to themselves to feel better for being radically FOR helping, but severely emotionally unable to actually do anything that would help. And if "How could this happen?!" Or something along those lines, is said, the answer was I needed help.

It was a really important day for him!  He was picking up his new car after being in an accident that totalled his car.  He's been without a car for two months, so he was really excited - but, who wouldn't be?

My bitchy comeback on chat with my husband when he misspelled 'chose'.  I felt bad later.

In conversation.  How old I feel that I am.

This, said in conversation with my spouse: If they decriminalized Pot in DC imagine how many fewer black people are going to jail each year! I was going to move on, later, to how much DC will get in taxes from the pot sold there, and then include the savings from the massive decrease involved in incarcerating people.  But, where does that money go to and who's watching it to make sure it's being done right. And who is watching THEM ? Here's the whole conversation: nah there's a lot of people who reallly need to who dont becuase they drink the kool-aid Lisa if everyone's smoking it true Lisa That's awful. What you said. but today more white people are smoking thanks to WA, CO, OR full of white liberals hittn the pipe daily and the money to keep it up Lisa Well, DC is legal, too, just not to sell it. You can like, buy it and have it, you just can...

My son asked me this when he was getting me a bowl of soup.  Teenage speak is so unique.

This was the original post, and the Title Above is what someone commented. I felt like they were an incredible idiot, so I laughed, and came right here to post it. WENT TO PUT MONEY IN MY MOMS ACCOUNT! WANTED MY ID, ETC. THEN AS OF DEC YOU CAN'T DEPOSIT CASH..CHECK ONLY! GRRRRR WTF BOA Yeah, I'm not sure if it's only funny because I'm stoned, or if they actually are that stupid.  Who just throws out a statement like that without backing it up.  It's like they're asking to be trolled.

Not as bad as it sounds, I swear.  Was talking to a guy who had been in a minor car accident, and we were talking about a bump he'd gotten on his head.

Question was, "Am I a trashy mom?" to my oldest son.

That made the video almost unwatchable.  # TryingTooHard

Imagine that your body has a bunch of policemen (they represent insulin). Now, if they're really good policemen, you only need a handful to deal with the bad guys (food) and put them where they need to go (muscle or energy). This represents high insulin sensitivity- a little goes a long way. Now lets suppose there's a crime wave (eating too much for too long) and so the police force increases a lot to deal with all the bad guys . Pretty soon they run out of normal jail space and have to put bad guys wherever they can (fat storage). When the crime wave stops, the police are all still there, and so when another bad guy comes in, they all go after it. Now imagine millions of policecars driving down a highway all going super fast to chase a handful of bad guys- there's going to be some damage done to the roads and buildings (this represents type-II diabetes or insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome). That's why consistently elevated insulin levels are not good. The i...

I keep picking them up, forgetting they're not lit and take a few drags off of it - get bored of that, put it down in the ashtray and forget about it, then look over and think - Damn, I really need a cigarette. Then I repeat that process.

Guy sent me a picture of his bedroom, NO...no wait, that sounded wrong. Okay, by "guy" I mean, my son - but I didn't want to say that because THAT would be embarrassing.  And he sent me a picture of Christmas lights he'd hung up and somehow it came up that it would make a fantastic "smoke room" if the floor was covered entirely in fluffy pillows and fat kittens. And that is why the sentence in the title exists.

When you realize you're starting to have a panic attack, so you don't focus on sensations and then catastrophize them. 

 Some people are obsessed after having lost someone, so they obsess over something that reminds them of the lost person. It usually stems from not being able to accept loss or not understanding that many things in life cannot be forever. What drives an obsession is often the fact that you can’t have that person. That’s exactly what keeps someone totally bound to an ex-partner, or someone else’s husband, (or a big brother who moved away). Loneliness is also a big reason for obsession.

I love this idea.  We're talking about a massive room that we almost never use; it's' only true and reliable purpose is to store shit on the table.  Could it be better utilized if it were an "old person section?"  That's what I call an area in my house that's just comfortable, but tasteful, chairs with side tables, maybe a central round coffee table, plants, artwork, a couple of cats for window sill decoration, warmth, and comfort.  Couldn't dinner just be eaten there?

Advice from a salon owner on how to get what you want. -S. Wright

Almost 50 years ago, as a 9 year old girl, I met an old woman for about 10 mins. and I have never forgotten her. We were visiting distant relatives in Scotland and driving near Ardtoe when my Uncle David stopped at a crofter’s cottage to buy fresh milk.  Annie, an old, toothless, milk maid came outside, her soiled skirt covering a long skirt, her ruddy complexion and red hands chaffed by the cold. “Annie, did you know the Americans landed on the moon?” my uncle asked. “Auch NOO cannot be!” she replied, “The moon ’‘tis but a latern!” He tried to explain but she just shook her head incredulously at the very idea.  I felt like I had a glimpse back in time and was fascinated by her response. I’ve never forgotten her.   - from Quora.com -  Margaret Yamasaki , Counselor in Private Practice. at Self-Employment (1994-present)

My mother had these on her mantle the entire time I lived there, and as a little kid I would stand on a chair and get up close to them and just stare at how pretty they were.  I was too scared to touch them. Update My mother sent these to me after I asked her to "put my name on them" (a very odd thing we've done in our family for generations that solidifies who gets what when someone dies.)  They were intended to be a birthday present. A few days before my birthday a box arrived with the return address of my deceased father.  He's been gone for 17 years and I'm still fucked up about it, so it destroyed my brain for about 3 days and I was an emotional and physical wreck.  Ahhh...gotta love a mother's "love."

Look.  Let me have SOMETHING in life!

Who hides Adobo?

 -Random find that made me realize what kind of people my friends might try to introduce me to if I had any friends. I'd sniff out the fakers quick.

There was a surge in #WhyDidISayThat tweets after Jimmy Fallon asked viewers to get it trending.  This was one girl's response.  It resonated with me.

We lost the bag of kitty food for a few hours.  It was found in the dining room, still in the Walmart bag.  We are desperately trying to keep this cat from running away because he's amazing.  All of our amazing cats run away.  He's microchipped, fixed, up to date on his shots - and has gone through 5 personalized expensive collars. Carl taking over the dog's bedding.

Ran across it while browsing a very old friend's blog that I'm pretty sure they don't remember owning or they'd probably take it down.

My son told me about this show called The Goldbergs, and the mom is making the dad spend some time with his daughter so he can get to know her as a "teenager", not a little girl.  This was his the response to Daddy/Daughter "Day" suggestion the mom threw out to him.

Again. No words.

Oh good Lord.

But, I think I'm being funny a lot, actually. I wonder how long it's been since anyone has "gotten" one of my jokes, or if they look at me and quietly tilt their heads a bit before politely continuing with conversation?

I have no words.

Talking about how my dog was an "only dog" until my son moved in with his much younger dog.  Now our dog is exercising from playing with the new dog that she's lost weight.

I like to randomly browse different types of cities and smaller towns and get to know them through the utilization of Craigslist's "For Sale" section.  Tonight I ended up in London.  (I normally like the small towns, though.) Blew my mind you could buy buy/sell cigarettes on CL, let alone someone might be offering to DELIVER them to you, that's INSANE.  I can't even imagine. The price was 50 pounds, which might be worth just paying to have someone stop by and talk to me.  In "US Dollars" it's $40.17, which means I could probably budget for it and I'd get a carton of pretty nice cigarettes out of the deal, too. I wonder what they mean by "Genuine" though. ... Perhaps, yes, please DO post them quickly!  Dispatch them most urgently!

Meta AF.

Apparently, and I only found out about this tonight, this is a thing in a picnic basket that hooks on...ugh, I'll just show you: Pie Shelf is Displayed.  The metal parts are hooks that attach to the top of the basket to hold a pie. It's for holding pies on to the basket above all of the food so it doesn't smash it.  This is the most plush, luxurious thing I can think of to do to a picnic basket.  It's already a great thing, then you go America on it and suddenly it's gotta have accessories to set itself apart from thousands of years of basket makers around the globe. FREE THE PIE SHELVES OF THE WORLD!!! **pEEEEEEEace!!!

I was talking about how offensive I find it to not grind pot before smoking it.  I might have been high (definitely was) when I typed it out to the person I was talking to, and I might have been a tad dramatic.

Yes, a giant bright pink heart dispenser for putting bright pink sticky notes into.  It was an amazing gift to me from my husband.  Probably one of my most favorite gifts ever from him. The topic came up after someone sent me a picture of a note they took down, writing out someone's address.  They had used black Sharpie on a torn piece of paper.  It was incredibly unlike their normal character, and so we continued talking about how much stress he must be under.  It was a good conversation.

Helping a guy with almost nothing in his kitchen decide whether or not to eat a can of green beans that had a "use by" date 18 months ago.

The question asked was: Does anyone have a leather hole-punch I could borrow? I just bought a new belt, but it's a bit too large. D

My son said this to me.  Right now he's poor.  Like, squatter poor.  I'm surprised we're able to chat on Facebook Messenger, honestly - he's that broke.  His dad pays for his phone - which is about the only thing he's ever done for him.  Anyway, so that's what my son said ... desperate for coffee...he found a Starbucks Via ... way in the back of some drawer, probably ... but now he's sad because he doesn't have any milk.  Coffee is so important.  Man.
