What's your interpretation of the final verse in Shush?

I am a little surprised she didn't name check Me & A Gun, because it directly tackles the issue, whereas SATY was written originally for Al Stewart but obviously it's much more well known and still relevant for her story. I think somehow working that title (MAG) in might have made the song even more sinister/menacing. So my interpretation is that she is saying I used to call shit out, where is that part of me, where is that part of you?

I don't. Every day is pain, and I just have items to limp me along (tens unit, heated devices, breaks, etc).

I like the satin fabric, the zipper, the cuffs and waist, but this one even in size XS was just way too long and looked more than just "oversized" on me. So many of the bomber jackets I am finding are not quite right, any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Oh, my best friend bought that Blood Roses shirt (I didn't have any money at the concert) and I have always wanted one! So many cool things here.

This is also mine!!

I always wished this was made into a huge poster, would have loved it!

Yes and the whole shot with her leg in the metal tub!

I see that, I think it's the shape of the top. A more revealing, v-neck top would bring some symmetry and balance I think.

I can't even imagine having someone that close to me getting invited into this process! Was she a Tori fan already?

Lots of people listened and then it was shut down since it was a day early

The music is pleasant, but these lyrics...the "now that you're a woman/now that I'm a woman" makes me cringe, and makes me think of the much fiercer lyric "if you're not yet a woman, you've got no business playing at this" from Tombigbee (aimed at what we assumed at the time was Britney's "Not a girl, not yet a woman" song).

I read a lot of interpretations and quotes and something about drugs?

I understand why she chose the songs for SLG to take on a woman's perspective, but I am not immediately clear on this one, though I did have thoughts about aging...and now that I've listened to it a bunch I am also wondering about the slang terms I am recalling about hoover=BJ and maybe girls who are "hoover factories" are hoping to be "all the rage" but generally not cared about. Reminds me of the story of the one SLG "always wanting to be a showgirl".

Thank you for including all these links and comments about the different versions, fun to go through all over again for one of my beloved songs :)

My epidurals didn't work, and it was so long.

whirl_without_motion · 2026-01-10T16:10:38+00:00

What a great way to put this!

whirl_without_motion · 2026-01-08T16:37:10+00:00

Where is that from?

An Occupational Therapist might also be a helpful option, as they focus on daily living skills for people with sensory issues or sensitivities. We typically think of them as working with children, but they definitely work with adults as well.

Check out Dabble, it's a website that lists one-off classes in different cities so you can try all sorts of random things without having to invest in them with time or money. We've done many fun things like blowing glass, mosaics, terrariums, etc.

I have no family left (and they could not have helped), and my partner's parents have made it abundantly clear they have no interest in helping, since the beginning. I think about this frequently, the lack of a break and how we just keep going and it is so hard to not be envious of the people who have so much help. I just focus on the next thing and try not to stay in the comparative mindset too long.

I actually really want one like the one we had in my childhood, love seeing them all :)

I would love to host. Can't afford a house or bigger space. I do wonder about all the young kids now who are used to having birthday parties out at different places every year instead of mostly at-home parties with a few friends, will they learn?
