    Receiving a very nasty text about how my niece is in the hospital and I haven't expressed any "concern" or "reached out via text" to check on her.

    Ok. Hear me out. NOBODY contacted me regarding this. My SIL response to this was - it's ALL over social media! Ohhhh, I see. Well, I'm not all over social media, and if you cared one *kitten* ounce about my feelings you would have picked up the *kitten* phone and informed me. WHY do I need FB/SC/Twitter to keep me in the loop. And why are you so hell bent on posting pictures of her in her hospital gown on social media. YOU are the very reason I don't have social media anymore.

    End rant.

    PS. I love me niece dearly, and she's totally ok.

    PS2. I despise her mother
    This is why I have very little social media and zero contact with 97% of my family

    I’m glad she’s OK

    Than you ♥️

    I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm over being the family peace keeper. It's utterly exhausting, and has done more harm to me than I care to admit.

    I've walked away from so many toxic people in my life but thought that family was family. Unfortunately, I'm realizing that they don't have the same morals and values that I have. And it's time to start distancing myself from these relationships that cause me more stress and anxiety.

    Would you like to come for Thanksgiving? I'll be
    sitting this one out this year....I feel a cold coming
    on


    Heretofore I have successfully turned Thanksgiving into a stay at home event with just my nuclear family. Having kids was great for this. We eat, we bake, we play games, we watch movies.

    Suddenly this year everyone’s coming out of the woodwork trying to get me to “reconnect.” Not only are they gossipy and judgemental, but they are also boring as beige.

    I say: No to dressing “nicely.” No to watching football. No to divisive politics. No to sitting in a stuffy, overheated house. No to passive aggression & humble bragging. No no no. How is it even a holiday when it’s that terrible terrible?

    My kids are old enough that if they want to go I will arrange that for them, but it’s a no for me.

    No to "dressing" 🤔

    I mean, I’ll put on pants if we can define the word loosely

    No pants allowed!

    Hiccups
    I don’t know why but I get the hiccups at least once a day.
    They don’t last long but annoying none the less.

    I have a slow leak in my left rear tire. Left early this morning hoping to be first in line for getting it fixed. When I got here 10 minutes early, I met up with 4 people who got up earlier than I did. 😑

    Right now I wish I was stupider. Also, I just noticed my name on the board in the waiting room and I see that my "promised time" is 10:56. I may have to walk to find coffee

    Thanks! After waiting an hour (and with my car not having moved yet), I've walked half a mile to Panera Bread. Skipped the yummy stuff since I'm up two lbs, but I did get a latte. There's a Kohl's across the street. Think I'll wander through there since I don't do sitting and waiting very well.

    Mabe 20 minutes ago I walked by the toy department in Target where they were playing Moana on a TV built into a cabinet. Now I have Dwayne Johnson singing, "You're Welcome" stuck in my head.

    I need to do this but also just for in my apartment bc I’m struggling with this short *kitten* cord on my uv lamp. Right now it lives on my cat tree bc it’s the only surface it can reach. Sorry, this is 100% irrelevant.

    @OpheliaCooter, here are a couple of decent options for you. The first one has a 10 ft. cord and more outlets than the one I travel with; I like the cord. (And it's on sale for the next 2 hrs.) The second one has a 15 ft cord

    Ugh. Had a coupon for a free package of Quest mini peanut butter cups so snuck off to Target to pick up a pack so I could use the coupon. They wouldn't accept it! It's a manufacturer's coupon. Target has gone to hell (not just cuz of this).

    Then I stopped off at the gas station to get my afternoon diet coke and the soda fountain is out for a few days. Not just no carbonation or no ice out. OUT out. Which means I have to go the other way to a different gas station to get the soda which screws me up timewise because I also pick up a smoothie for my boss and that's near the first gas station.

    I had similar questions. Are you irked she's alone and didn't invite you to help... or that the food is being wasted... or that she's blowing up your phone with pictures?
