Agree with Cat, but it's ok to be upset, too. Yes.

Well,, in this case My House mate was about to give up her lunch hour to rush home. And that's not her deliberately putting things on me, but it does make me feel bad I wasn't there for her

Fuck B

No, it's not the housemate's fault...but the situation needs to be made clear to B that by not picking up her phone, she is putting housemate into a situation where she either forces you to become a caretaker, or loses work time. Neither is acceptable.

...I wanna be a knight errant, too.

My friend has been VEry good on taking on the biggest jobs, don't mistae it. but I do think that for all her trying to shield me a bit at first, I have ended up in Elder Care Auxilary

My folks are on the downhill slide too. It's no one's 'fault'. Age happens. Shit happens. Death happens. But man oh man.... Do I want to blame someone? YES. I'm ANGRY about it. But there's no BLAME to be laid.

We're blessed in that they have a living solution.

"He studies them from morn to night and often through the night as well. And all he reads oppresses him... fills him with indignation at man's murderous ways toward man."

Right, Mr. D., but if that conversation only happens between you and housemate (or worse, never happens), then B isn't held accountable for her own behavior. We already know she can do more than she is doing, and we already know she's being manipulative about things like not taking her meds or calling excessively while her daughter is at work. She's got to be given the chance to understand that this is pissing people off, and to be part of the conversation about how to fix it. If she still doesn't...then fuck 'er.

ahem Sorry, Tweak sort of edged her way in there....

No, I agree.

She is NOT a child

she is NOT mentally deficient

Aging parents often become mentally deficient...but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Tweak has her moments.

Hey, guys, if Shuri starts becoming another Jonny Mason, shoot me.

Yes - dementia is pretty terrible. But there are resources for that - that would likely open up medicaid/ssi/something

we shall

Jonny Mason? Oh the scathach

the worst

Once voted most likely to crawl purposefully toward a power outlet, metal fork in hand...

because somehow, his mama wasn't already the worst

what specifically did he do that you're trying to avoid?

haha

I only vaguely remember him

but I remember Torey being a Drama Llama

Little Johnny Mason was a 5 year old with a dollar-and-a-quarter vocabulary

Torey got better 😉

that's good!

But yes, Jonny ap Scathach was rightly dreaded

Another case of diminished responsibility...Torey would keep putting Jonny in IMMEDIATE BABY PERIL and get mad at players if their characters didn't swoop in to rescue him.

Good. When we stop changing, we start dying.

Little Johnny Mason was a master of magics, a veritable wizard!

Little Johnny Mason was a skilled assassin!

I still remember Johnny Mason as an infant.

I don't think the Right of Rescue applies to "from one's own stupidity". Well, maybe... but you only get so many saves.

So..my hair loss is saving me! (Does not make it easier to accept)

I mean, at least teen-mom Janet gave her baby up and went adventuring.

...though he did turn out to be an asshole.

Not an asshole THE asshole

Just a bit.

I work hard to keep Symon at the weird and unsociable yet not entirely an asshole level. 🙂

Yeah

IT WAS A BOY.

Hey, Dagmar likes Symon!

(IT WAS A BOY)

...it was a boy?
