It looks like it, doesn’t it? But it can’t be. It must be what laminate is imitating.

My mother tried to get me to dress preppy back then but I just wanted the ball gowns.

I actually used to look really good in that type of dress (before I gained weight), and hoarded patterns for them for a long time. If I ever get that figure back again I will have to raid the costume section of the pattern book to get that look back again. And then find somewhere to wear them. (Though a long vest made…

Probably no worse than raccoons. I had a roommate who left ground floor windows open at night and wondered when stuff happened to food on the table. Maybe have nice looking bars over the windows?

This actually might work well for this woman I took voice lessons from, because she gave us (new) corks to do diction exercises with. Stick the cork between your teeth and pronounce everything slowly and clearly, to work your pronunciation muscles. (Take lots of breaks.)

I think those are unused corks. It’s art or something.

Wow, that’s a nice table! A little long for pingpong though. (Always an important consideration for dining room tables.)

They’re probably really noisy, too.

The rodent falling while clinging to a stem reminded me of the rodent in Ice Age. (Not that I’ve seen those films, but who hasn’t seen the critter in trailers?)

You weren’t kidding. The master bedroom needs decluttering, too, unless you want the entire extended family sleeping in there.

The stairs. I tried it on stairs and couldn’t do it. It’s on my bucket list. That and spider walking down the stairs like in The Exorcist. Also walking around like a penguin in a squat. I love all this stuff. I just wish I could do it.

Well, at least the police and prosecutor supported her. That’s more than most of us get. :(

Yet once again, I’m just impressed there’s a conviction.

People don’t always respect their disabled kids.

At least they got nuclear right.

A nonlinear relationship between hormones and depression?

That was my question, too.

There are plenty of places where you have to have ID on you at all times, and show it to the police if they ask. And it’s pretty normal for disabled people to carry documentation of their disability and need for accommodation if they think they’ll need it. I have a doctor’s note I keep in my backpack at all times,…

No.

Thanks for replying in detail. It’s always good to get more information about what other women are going through and how they are handling it, instead of just getting (sometimes minimal) advice from doctors.
