If "bullying" means providing evidence of your gaslighting then... okay?

What evidence?

That's why you never deserved Benz.

@Drew Espinosa @spike382 I was skimming through Netflix, and I happened upon some series that appear to be Thai. Hope you enjoy.

Seen most of them already.

But I loved This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans, and he was more prominent in that.

Doesn't matter, because he's in my herd.

And no, @dughlas doesn't get a say.

Boy, you sure dropped the word "gave" real quick. This just proves you never had a case.

I am presuming this has some meaning? I do like the odd sayings that we all seem to have. Language is a magical thing

I do so have a say Nong of my Nong. He's coming to visit Mum on Sunday to have milk and Milanos with her.

It’s the title of the drama, it’s hard to explain in detail but essentially there’s a competition to inherit a restaurant that specifically serves dishes that don’t have long beans in them.

I’ve also provided evidence that you gave Benz up.  Suck it up.

Happy happy happy! Maple Leafs won the NHL lottery draft with only an 8% projected chance. It's damn near miraculous. We pick first.  

Hello, peasants and goofballs.

What if you are a goofball peasant? Is that double hello?

B-man I think you’re putting more thought into this than Gary did. 

As I’ve heard in every Asian drama I’ve watched, ever, “Don’t think too much.”

I'll never understand why people think you can "inherit" a business in the way that you can inherit a house.

In BL dramas and Hallmark movies, all you need is the "deed" to the property, the keys to the door, and a winning smile. And Auntie Selma's "world-famous" cookie recipe.

In reality, you'd need so much more than that. The business would have to be registered under the name of the new owner. There'd be inspections for health, safety, and building codes. And that's just for starters.

Well in this case whoever joined the competition had to have enough money to buy the restaurant, so I guess “inherit” is the wrong term.

Mostly, the owner was trying to get money to pay for his mentor’s medical bills.

Besides being really, really good chefs they couldn’t have any affiliation with a particular developer.

It was still an active, running restaurant, so all those codes, etc. would be taken care of off screen.

  My mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about four or five years before she passed, and she knew us all right up until the end. I pray for you both. Give her my love, brother.  

The most notable aspect is her short term memory. She repeats herself often, forgets/or doesn't know what day it is, often forgets what it is she's to be doing, i.e. bathing or dressing, taking her medication. She's no longer able to be responsible for herself or her affairs though if prompted expresses valid thoughts or opinions concerning them. She sleeps more. She still remembers people and usually places. It's a struggle to get her to eat and drink enough. I worry because her mother, my grandmother, eventually became nonverbal and unresponsive to most external stimulus. She just sat lost inside herself for the last few years of her life. It was as if she died before she died. I don't want that for Mum.
