That’s the thing! You keep your eye on your dog and can read their behavior so you can parent them and correct them when they need it. So many people just sit on their phone and let the dog go on a rampage. The type of person who ignores their own dog at the dog park is very likely the type of person who doesn’t…

Thank you! It’s not like a light switch where sight is either “on” or “off”.

Rewiring. I bet they haven’t rewired the place since the 60's. Maybe even the 30's. And the carpeting needs replacing. Those corgis are an incontinent lot.

Phillip: So. you’re the fella wants to smack 18 holes through a nature reserve.

OK. So it’s not just me that finds this possibility fascinating. I am with you. I would pay a lot. Prince Phillip has zero filter when he he so chooses. What’s the bet he thinks Trump is a jumped up, common, nouveau riche, classless braggart who needs to be put in his place. Prince Phillip is just the fella to do it.…

Hey. HEY. Marge. MARGE! Remember that time...(insert terrible and embarrassing thing about random family member). Entire table silenced while drunk uncle laughs so hard he inhales a piece of corn and everyone just sits and waits to see if he’ll die...

Memorial service for her horse. It doesn’t matter which one. Very private affair. Only family members (gives them ALL an excuse not to be around). Though I’d DEARLY love to hear what Prince Phillip might say if he met Trump.

Ahhh. Ugh! Gross.

And bumping in to EVERYONE and making a scene.

Pretty sure the Queen will have something important to do when Trump is there. What? No date set yet? Well, when it is, the Queen will definitely have something she needs to do on those days. Likely involving some gin, a pony, and being anywhere other than London.

Sounds like she definitely has disordered thought processes. I am sorry your parents did not protect you. I hope she finds help herself. However, most importantly, I hope you continue to be able to heal and distance yourself from anything harmful to you.

Ugh. Hairy palms! Blindness! Self abuse leads to crime and addiction because you have no self control and are a slave to your flesh. Shame!

Also, so sorry you had to go through that. I am glad your doggie is ok. I hope she’s not shy of other dogs as a result. It must be very frustrating to know there is little you can do to prevent some other dog getting attacked.

A warning sign at the dog park might be an option. It’s happened a couple of times at our local. A woman put up a BUNCH of signs warning about a particular dog- full description and a description of the owners- asking people to keep a look-out and pay attention when it was there because it had attacked a few dogs…

Whelp. They raised their kids to think that way, obviously. Why stop now? Just dig in and complain till they get their way. They are owed, you see.

Right?

“NO THANK YOU” said every sensible police chief trying to figure out how to weed out the “good guys” from the “bad guys” in a potential active shooter situation.

Yeah. But that was just a hoax.

I think it’s shit fixed body armour. I’ve seen a few of these yokels wearing arm guards constructed from random household articles.

As the parent of a 17, almost 18, year old, I am also asking “What now?” Thanks for this wonderfully written piece. You sound like an awesome ma with the amazing power to make your kid turn their own damn car around.
