like sugar.
I'm thankful for this beef roast and these chicken wings because fuck turkey and we gon eat ALL these leftovers.
Also thankful I bought that frozen Sara Lee sweet potato pie last month when it was two bucks! It is very good for not homemade. - Starmama

The volcanic stress pimples I get when things are bad make me long nostalgically for the puny lil period pimples I sometimes get.
Oh man, can I relate to this. My chin and forehead look like a jr. high school. - Anika
If we have to go to a shelter it won't be in some nice family section, Jayden will be 17 in 2 1/2 weeks so he would have to be in single men's housing and I would go to single women's housing. We probably wouldn't even be able find beds in the same shelter.
And in December or January, there may be no shelter beds for singles at all. - Starmama
And I'm pretty sure I'd have at least a couple months to fight if someone's going to try to force us out. - Starmama
That punk ass prosecutor acting like a defense attorney made it clear from day one that there would never be an indictment. Looting and rioting aren't the answer, but apparently neither is peaceful protest or letting the justice system take its course.
I have to teach my son about cops and racists and how to stay alive and it's still no guarantee he won't be killed by a trigger happy cop. Our black & brown children are treated as disposable, vilified even when they're victims. If being civil & calm & respectful won't protect our kids, then I don't really care if a business gets burned down or looted. Ain't no business worth more than our children. - Starmama
I wanted to soak in a bath so bad that I forgot all about how I'm unable to get out of the tub. I screamed & cried for more than 30 minutes but Jayden had his headphones on and really, what could he do anyway? He can't lift me. I finally wrenched the hell out of my frozen shoulder-afflicted right arm taking 4 or 5 attempts at pushing myself up.
I couldn't skip the shower afterward because that's gross but it hurt so bad and I cried the whole fucking time. - Starmama
That sounds awful. :( *gentle hugs* - Jenny H.
A tin of Danish butter cookies & a cold cup of milk is almost all I can think about right now.
Sort of took care of the craving with a few bites of a pot brownie. Bonus is, I'm calmer now than I have been in days. - Starmama
This pic shows the porch floor from where the stairs landing ends to my front door. The tiles are white ceramic, which is ridiculous already and hazardous when it rains. They are very hard keep clean. But at least dirt can be washed off easily. Look at all that shit-brown paint. And grout from the bottom of the guy's shoes.
So, they didn't even cover anything while they were painting? - Anika
Yes they do. Seriously. - Starmama
Can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes my brain starts ranting about the asshole realtor, her asshole husband, and the asshole landlord. And the shitshow that went on over here until after dark and left me with brown spray paint on my chair, my broom, my basket of flowers, and the white tiles on the porch floor.

*hugs* Hope you've managed to get some sleep. - Kirsten loves you
Have fun at the Oakland High 30 year reunion, it's the last thing I wanna do.
The realtor had the bright idea that the house should be power washed so her husband rented a machine and their first attempt was Thursday. It rained hard that day and the machine wasn't working right but even before that, I didn't know they were coming until the guy knocked on my door to tell me to close all the windows.
So I look over the side of the porch, & see they had my hose hooked to my faucet & they're about to be using my water for the job. Hell no! - Starmama
Oh no. Wrong on so many levels. - AHnix (Anna Haro)
I want an umbrella patterned to look like a tiffany or similar art nouveau lampshade. And chocolate covered Craisins. And a nifty knife block holder to stand on a table. #threethingsiwant
So pretty! I love that Frank Lloyd Wright one too. - Starmama
Realtor called to tell me the property has a buyer, who plans to stucco the house and wants me to stay. More than two weeks after the deadline. Maria said she'd tried to contact the housing authority but they're notorious for not returning calls or emails, so I'm going to their office this morning see if this is doable.
Nervous about getting hopes up because the last few months have been full of letdowns. - Starmama
That's a win for now! Glad to hear it. - SAM
Did anyone else learn about Pageant of the Masters from Mike Rowe's CNN show? It's the most amazing thing and I need to attend this at least once before I die. http://www.foapom.com/pageant...
I lived in SoCal for 10 years and never made it to this, though I always wanted to go. FF road trip! - Corinne L
Phone I had for almost three years was charging haphazardly so I had to get a new one since I'm constantly getting & making important calls these days. $50 deductible, ugh. But they upgraded me. New phone is giant to me. But I'm out of space with only half my apps installed!
Ugh. I hate when that happens, which is all the time. Is your phone capable of having apps loaded onto a microSD card? Even if you get an 8gb, it helps. - Anika
Clearing out the cache on those space-hogging apps, then rebooting also helps. - Anika

Janet, I know this debate has gone on forever, but I think the majority of articles I've read about animals and feelings, by scientists, actually supports that they do have them. Maybe these are PETA scientists/anthropologists??? - AHnix (Anna Haro)

If I lived somewhere that had made feeding the homeless a crime (& didn't have a kid & dogs to take care of) I'd be out there getting arrested every day. Every time I hear about this my blood boils and I want to go give sandwiches to every homeless person in those towns.
