Ohh! Right. I can recall the few times my mother tried to make me knit she’d try to teach me how to fix a dropped stitch but I couldn’t deal. I could do forwards all I wanted but if I had to backtrack - it was all over and knitting needles would eventually hit the wall. I think I’m way too ADHD for knitting.

Okay, so if your Christmas party is next week I’m guessing you mean Friday. That’s 7 days from now. Everybody knows the last three days on antibiotics is overkill. You can drink on day 7. I’m giving you permission and it’s okay because I’m not a doctor.

What is this? Office Christmas party by proxy?

God that’s brilliant.

Uber them people right home! They’ll appreciate your festive mood when they get there.

How long is your antibiotic round?

Holy shit, your mother in law is a fucking piece of work. If anything should tell you you’re a pretty fantastic parent, I doubt you’d ever say that to anyone. Let alone your KID’S spouse.

I think you may be a little ignorant about Leah Remini and her experience, but opinions based on nothing seem to be the new “cult” in America these days.

As was Leah. She was taken in my her parents as a teen and mentally manipulated for years.

What is that? I’m afraid to look around or I’ll get an e-mail. 😂

Seriously! I just had the worst stress dream ever regarding the pardoned turkey - I mean Trump.  

As for everything else you said, I agree!! Action is one of the only things I’ve found to really help not make me rage through the neighborhood leaving rainbow flags, glitter, Mexican flags and pictures of MLK on every lawn!

I have thought about leaving but only because I have a gay daughter and want her to feel as welcome as possible at home.

At least you’re in a place where the people around you commiserate and feel your pain. We live in a small town in southern PA and it’s like everyone had Christmas and mine got cancelled for jury duty. Thank god for friends.

Because she’s been skewered by the media, her colleagues, and American public for the last 20+ years. So much doubt has been cast upon her in so many various directions that it makes people think “well, she must have done *something*”. She’s blamed for her husbands affairs, her voting record on Iraq, Benghazi, the…
