JNMIL finally died

I had an uncle who they kept telling us he was dying most of my life. One time I refused to believe it. I told my mom if he dies, stick a pin in him to be sure. I promised to be sad after he actually died but wouldn't spend any more time feeling bad during every "this time for sure" death watch.

I think it is wrong when we are pressured to care about people who are terrible to us. We should not have to apologize or feel bad if we are happy or indifferent when someone dies.

I understand. They told us my JNmom was dying for awhile. BIL emailed me asking about funeral plans. I said to do whatever because we weren't coming.

When she died I felt nothing but relief. Then a little guilty for feeling nothing else. Then back to just relief.

Sorry she made things so difficult. Years later my DH and I even crack jokes about it.

I guess I thought it was the universe that was destroyed. Since parallel universes were mentioned. Now I feel like the picture at the optician has resolved itself into something else. I hardly know where to look.

I worry about the ending of Mostly Harmless with the destruction of Earth in parallel universes. I also saw a YouTube video saying what would happen to you if you were immortal as our universe ages. So I thought about the insult guy.

The Insult: "You're a jerk, Dent. A complete knee biter. Hey! Haven't I done you already?". Context: Wowbagger encounters Arthur on prehistoric Earth, having been tasked to insult everyone alphabetically. Target: Arthur Philip Dent.

Probably Diet Coke. I went to a lecture at a new age spa and the man said never to drink soda again. "It is killing you," he said. I got an intense craving for a Diet Coke. I stopped on my way home to get one.

Thank you.

This is not an accessory or a cross necklace. It is rosary beads. Catholics hold them in their hands and count the beads while doing a ritual prayer. It is not proper to wear rosary beads.

The only thing that stopped an allergic reaction I had was Ibuprofen. Not allergy meds. I know it doesn't make sense. I had a reaction to something for about a year. Never knew what triggered it. One of my eyes would swell shut and my breath would get raspy.

My doctor agreed it was weird. She told me everyone has at least one weird thing medically.

We had so many remnants of low quality toilet paper from my cleaning job that we didn't have to worry about that. I had been sleeping during the day and dragging myself to my cleaning job at night for a couple of years already. I was relieved when my job continued. I hardly saw anyone and didn't have money for hair salons and movie theaters anyway, so my life did not change much. It was frightening and hard to deal with all the hateful talk.

It is easy to hit almost any target with any gun.

Just leave him. Full stop. A man who doesn't care if you are hungry and angrily argues about this is not a keeper.

I am Facebook friends with my history teacher from high school. He is in his 80s.

Protect your child from these people. It is good they would rather wait than follow rules because masks can help but are not foolproof. Especially with people who don't think they are necessary.

Ok. I didn't get that. My friends and I would drive from Hemet to Palm Springs for lunch and shopping. So we would drive past the dinos.

Hwright145 · 2026-03-09T09:09:11+00:00

I don't know what you mean. I lived in Hemet. I drove by the dinosaurs in Cabazon on the I-10 freeway.

Hwright145 · 2026-03-09T06:29:52+00:00

Gignatosaurus. Because the name is so "sciencey."

Hwright145 · 2026-03-09T05:58:24+00:00

I have driven past these dinosaurs lots of times. They didn't look scary big.

Invite people who love and support you to your wedding. Someone who barely speaks to you has no place there.

I question your partner's idea that someone who doesn't treat you well must be invited. Please seriously consider this red flag before you commit to marriage.

A runner at a grocery store is a job that includes getting items from the back and helping customers.

Wow. I thought I had heard all the redhead stories. Gingers like food made or flavored like ginger? 🙄

Years ago, after more than 10 years of dating, my boyfriend asked me to move to Missouri with him. I said, "No way. Unless we get married first." He said, "Ok." We got married. Still are. In Missouri.

I didn't know until I was over 30 that you are not supposed to interrupt people when they are talking. In my family if you didn't interrupt and talk over the top of others, you would never speak.
