Don't be fooled.... she's winging it.

I still have days where my pillow is the recipient of my wrath. You take your outlets where you can get them.

I guess someone has to compliment you.

Kyan needed that emotional purge. Going through the stages of grief is not like sitting on a conveyor belt on an assembly line and you're building a new person who can live without their loved one. You don't collect the stages of grief in an orderly fashion and come out the other side all shiny and new. Everyone processes at their own pace. The kids will recover easier than the adults because they haven't developed the full scope of emotions yet. I think now Kyan knows it's okay to get frustrated or angry with your kids. There's not a single parent I know who hasn't screamed into a pillow or cried behind a closed door. Perry is the friend every parent needs when they're overwhelmed.

Mankind has been battling against the invisible enemy of viruses since we started walking upright. It's been uphill all the way. You're right though. Viruses like HIV/AIDS, coronavirus, ebola, herpes, papillomaviruses and a host of others are what has enabled researchers to study them and discover what makes them tick. The only way to treat viruses is to figure out what will work against them. They're not like bacteria. They don't go away with antibiotics. Once they are in you they're superglue and not going anywhere. Throw in the ability to mutate faster than Taylor Swift changes outfits and it's no wonder researchers can't keep up. I'm glad it looks like this company is getting close to a cure. Hopefully the pharmaceutical companies in the US won't keep the the cost of the drug out of reach for those who need it.

We both have girl bits so we can eliminate wet dream.

@rickproehl I hope you get on track towards getting well. Long-term health issues are hard to deal with. Getting old does suck. I'm discovering that myself. So yes, tim is right, pop on here anytime you need to. @Mikiesboy I'm sure you'll find plenty to keep you occupied. In addition to a clean house, I see a fully stocked freezer & pantry, plenty of cute crocheted animals and two happy Sirs. Enjoy. Happy Saturday!

See???? BUTT HURT!!

I'm not allowed to mention my story. She-who-shall-not-be-named gets butt hurt.

I agree... groceries are insane. I look in the cart and wonder how 1/4 full can add up to almost $100 with no meat. Congrats on being able to give your notice and quit! I know how much you and Mike and Dan have been looking forward to it. That means congratulations to @MichaelS36 on your new job! I still have to juggle times and days for appointments. Normally W/Th/F are good as my husband is off. Except when they go and schedule him for mandatory overtime, which they did for next Wednesday. Of course that's the day I was finally able to get an appointment for my hip. So now I can A) cancel and wait another 4-6 weeks, try to find a ride to Sarasota, or C) shell out $50 for an Uber there and back. I think I'm going to try to find a ride. I really can't deal with another month of being in too much pain to sleep. Eh... it'll work out. Have a good weekend everyone!

Dashel certainly got the short end of the stick in life. He reminds me of Drew Barrymore in Firestarter . She was one badass little kid. I actually think I might know who this one is so I'll reserve my comments for the review after the reveal.

I'm on the left.

I'd place a bet on it.

Only one thing to do now:

Thank you.

Knew you'd have my back

Expect nothing less.

Yeah.... some of those Pacific Northwesterns? Pacific Nothwesterners? Psycho Nutty Whackos? Whatever you call them.. those that live out there, nature can't explain them.

I have to admit, I needed to let this one process for a little while. It was hard reading through the graphic description of torture. But in the end, the author did a great job of building a society and characters that readers can emphasize with. While I'm not a huge fan of violence or torture in a story, the only thing that really makes me stop reading (or watching a movie) is when they kill the dog. Then I'm out of there. I can see this chapter developing into a more intricate story and expanding into a larger world. Good work SA.
