Special event tonight at Castle... got tix on the discount. DH is driving. I just have to get through it. *G*

Ok, so.... out with the Things and DH tonight. Phone only. I'll be around as I can but.... mostly count me out. *SMOOCH*

Positive vibes and/or prayers requested for a family member. Unfortunately, the old 'not my story to tell' restriction is back. Sorry.

And away again.

I just realized: Dirk is the intellectual descendant of Scut Farkus from "A Christmas Story." That is all.

ha!

Hi

hihi

How goes?

home!

Nice

so other than drama, how was your day?

Well, other than family drama I can't talk about sigh It was... mixed. Got some reading done. Yay. Had a brief bout of depression. So mixed

Annnd B is making me nuts because she wants to know what type of car is in this movie trailer. Got her daughter pausing a show and taking 10 minutes researching to find out

oy

unfortunately saying "I don't give a fuck" isn't an option

well....

B's daughter researches, and gives her opinion. B shoots it down and says what SHe thinks it is.

Seriously, bitch just pestered everyone to stoppiing a show so she could get the answer to a question no one else cares about...and then when an answer is given gives shit about it.

well, not shit, but geez

which is why idgaf is the proper response

Ithink maybe I'll moderate and say "it honestly doesn't interest me"

And I'd still probably tick her off. Oh well

yes, because she is a narcissist

attention only encourages her

be a grey rock

"I wonder what X is!" "Oh, I suppose you do."

"Dramatic claim!!!" "That's nice."

Hah. I think B's son in law is doing that actually. I asked him about how he handled her, he says "I don't give her anything"

exactly!

Because she feeds her ego on it, she does things to elicit a response

Not sure I can manage it, but i do envy him.

It does get to him though..he just doesn't show it. He's come this close to "There's the door, don't let it hit your ass on the way out"

Yeah

Frankly, she needs to go, because she will manipulate you all until everyone is sucked into her bullshit

Well, the problem is it's a death sentence if we do. she'll neglect her meds and fall again. And one time not be able to get help.

And if she tries to drive, I will feel like I helped her kill someone when if she crashes into someone else

You say she's broke - broke enough for medicaid?

Or 65?

sorry

it's a lousy situation

and her being a stubborn old bat that won't take care of herself makes it harder than it needs to be

76. And yes she does.

She's gottten stronger thanks to physical therapy

but still has her moments of weakness etc

wonder if medicare/air does some level of in-home nursing

so if she falls, the longest she'll be down is until nurse visits
