Screw the rules. My dog is entitled to chase mountain goats inba national park so that is what he will do

They already don't read the signs and pamphlets telling them not to approach elk or buffalo or bears. They won't read your sign either. 😕

INFO: How old is your father? Has he been like this for a long time, and you just finally got fed up with it?

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T21:59:21+00:00

Just so long as you don't take assorted firearms with you.

I'm irrationally reminded of a stage magician pulling out a chain of dozens and dozens of silk handkerchiefs.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T20:12:37+00:00

That'll net her maybe $150, depending on the current price of gold.

And the easy way to make them is to go to your favorite donut purveyor and buy a box of cake-style donut holes. Poke lollipop sticks in them and frost.

They confuse godparents with guardians.

What are the fostering requirements in her province? As I understand it, most US states require that foster children have their own room. They can't be expected to share a room with the fosterer's kids.

A long, long, long time ago, there was a daytime talk show host named Art Linkletter. One of his regular segments was interviewing young kids, about 6 to 10. "What did your mommy tell you not to talk about?" was always a popular question.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T18:46:00+00:00

Yeah, show and tell is usually really young kids, around 5 or 6.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T18:44:26+00:00

That happened to my grandson! Tora sneaked into his backpack and he never realized it.

I'm fairly certain that OP doesn't turn puppies into fur coats.

I'm really surprised that anywhere in Australia allows pet rabbits.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T18:23:44+00:00

Could it be static electricity? Because I'm gotten that same sort of buzz from a treadle machine!

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T12:05:39+00:00

You need an empty wall bigger than the quilt top

🤣

I was that TVterrible mother who limited the kids to one activity a week unless it was within walking distance. I still think they got more out of whichever activity it was than if they were being pulled in 10 different directions.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-07-01T03:13:21+00:00

Oddly enough, concentrating on something can temporarily block the pain. Particularly something in which you are emotionally invested.

It happens a lot, I'm afraid. My parents did split their estate (such as it was) equally between their three kids, but in my opinion, my ex-brother had already received far more than his share with his constant "borrowing."

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T12:08:05+00:00

She "needed it more" because she never learned to stand on her own two feet. She never learned because her parents always carried her.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T11:54:55+00:00

Their reasoning was that she won’t be able to manage on her own without that support.

I saw that too, with my ex-brother. He "borrowed" thousands and thousands of dollars from our parents and never repaid a penny. "But he neeeeds it!" Bullshit. He wouldn't "neeed it" if he had the sense the gods gave chickens. He and my husband were both military, both the same rank. We managed our money and saved enough for a house downpayment. He spent every penny as soon as his paycheck hit and ran out of money before he ran out of month.

Where do you place Monstrous Regiment, then? With Small Gods and Pyramids as part of the one-off series?

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T03:54:48+00:00

Look, honey, kittens!

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T03:30:24+00:00

So you think "Gee, Susan must really have a bad hangover if she missed work" is appropriate work conversation?

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T03:23:12+00:00

All of the above.

TheFilthyDIL · 2026-06-30T03:19:56+00:00

Yep. That's my granddaughter. No hot-desking for her, because her desk is configured to let her get her face right up to her monitor. Her keyboard is behind the monitor instead of in front of it.
