In an earlier episode, the farmer went before Little Lord Bran, and said he could not harvest because his own sons went off to war with Robb, or Ned, or one of those war making fellows. Bran said they had two orphan boys that needed a home, so if the farmer agreed to give them room and board, he would let the two…

Holy cow, I didn't realize I had written so much earlier. Thanks for the replies, and more importantly the validation, everyone. I have decided what I am going to do about my situation. I am getting my mom healthy enough to take care of herself and get around. Then I am going to stay with my boyfriend for a couple…

I've tried to get my daughter to reverse roles a bit. She just gave me a look and told me that she would not stay around someone who treated her like shit, no matter who it was, and she has more self esteem than that. On one hand, I am proud of her answer. On the other hand, it made me feel a little bit bad because…

You mentioned henna already. A friend of mine gets all her tattoos done in henna first so she can decide if it is worth having permanently. Maybe it could be something for you to try. Plus it is a pretty color and fun to experiment.

Wow, Leela, thanks for that link. It hit a nerve. Mom used to threaten to call senior protective services until I pointed out that they would probably send her to a facility somewhere. She dropped it after that. Right now she is just verbally abusive. I hate the idea of having to involve the state, but she may…

I thought about the assisted living thing. Most of the ones around here are nice, but expensive. Mom used to not be this bad. She has always been grumpy, but it is getting unreal. Her GP stuck her on an antidepressant, but it isn't helping at all. I keep reminding myself that the situation cannot last forever. …

Thanks. I try to get out and do something with my daughter at least once a week. I also let her know that she can talk to me about anything and I will try not to judge. It just sucks being stuck in the middle, but I try to remember that I am her mom. Of course she would be upset seeing me treated badly.

The caregiver support group is a great idea! Thank you! I will check that out tomorrow. Hey, at the very least it will be an excuse to get out of the house alone for a little bit.

In the book, Tyrion is ugly, then after stuff happens he is downright hideous. So when I saw who they cast I has serious doubts. I am glad I was so wrong! Peter Dinklage *is* Tyrion, and is amazing! I am curious how they are going to do Tyrion after the big fight scene.

I am going insane. My home life has become utterly miserable. My daughter still lives with me while she is in college. She works and helps with the bills, and is actually a cool person. She is not the problem. My mother lives with me because she was disabled in a car wreck about ten years ago. She is the…

Tyrion is my tv crush. Actually, if I could have a night with Tyrion and Eric Northman I would die a very happy - and very satisfied - woman.

I had to make my kitties into full time indoor cats. They hated it. However, I found a used play pen at a garage sale for cheap. It is the kind with the mesh sides instead of rails. I just flipped it over and stuck my cat in it. I make sure he has water in there with him, and never leave him out for too long or…

I see your meat suit, and raise you babies.

The way the article is worded it sounds like it would be ok to sexually assault a man by kissing him unwillingly as long as the man is gay.

I think I just ovulated looking at that picture. Twice.

Any guy that uses 'bro' when addressing me. Actually, just about any guy that uses 'bro,' period.

Second from the top, is it normal for a nose to be able to bend like that? Just doing my nose manually makes it hurt.

If my sweetie made himself a ring like this and I didn't get one too, the engagement would be over.

I'll try to remember this next time I have to wait in line for the bathroom at a concert.

"Expect to see a lot of nipples hitting the streets in the very near future." Huh? I take mine with me everywhere I go. Quotation mark error maybe or did she actually say that?
