My Family

We need to make t-shirts to show our solidarity.

Not certain where to put this, but Lady Cranefly is about to head to RadCon in Pasco, Washington, so I'll be in an unsupervised state Friday through most of Monday (2/13-16). That's not a plea for company, as I'm by nature a hermit. But if anyone is in the area and wants to drop by, you're more than welcome. I'll be grabbing a handful of bad movies from the library to watch (likely to include some Hindi), and might also try to restart my writing. Anyway, just offering a bit of asylum, whether it be sanctuary or madhouse.

I'm home sick with a cold now. I just got run down and too many visits to the hospital last week made me sick. So I'm telecommuting today and probably won't make it over the hill again until Monday. The downside is that I was supposed to go on a trip to Tahoe this weekend with my family. As it turned out however, I wouldn't have been able to go anyway as the cabin they are staying is doesn't allow poms. So I'm home sick with the pom. Gotta regain my health ASAP as I'll have to take care of my mom if she gets to go home next week.

So I'll be with you in spirit, CF, binging on vids. Anticipate DOOM reviews.

You know, I was just bumming on KFM that I didn't make a "Free Jaycee" T-shirt. As you may know, Jaycee (that's J-C as in Jackie Chan's son) got busted for pot in PRC. He was just released after serving 6 months.

So, my mother got me a gift card for Valentine's Day. It's for Starbucks.

[The Queen]

Sigh.

[Drunk Monk]

There's one right by our office. I was staying at my mom's house and figured I'd get some coffee and a muffin there.

It was terrible.

:vom:

Note to self: In future give the bathroom a wide berth if the parents have tag teamed it.

The secret of Starbuck's is to get 4 shots of espresso in their smallest cup and fill the rest with steamed milk.

Trying to stay awake. Decided it would be a good time to empty the urine bottles around the house.

[Drunk Monk]

Greg, luv ya bro, and we know you're going through some tribulations now, but this is starting to border on TMI.

Oh who am I fooling? We sat through ED's defection and dwarf-scab-eating flicks. Just bring IT!

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Wait? Did ED defect? To what country? I am way out of the loop.

Let me put it to you this way: How much of the iceberg do you actually see?

[Drunk Monk]

We'll read as much as you care to post. We're there for ya, bro. Thanks to ED's iron stomach training, we can take anything you can dish out.

Although I should mention that I didn't share a lot of the more grisly stuff about my Dad. That just felt wrong as he was a stroke survivor. Perhaps your case is different.

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

Shock value. I've been picking up after dogs for almost two decades so handling a bottle of pee is no big deal.

He's actually pretty good. He's weak but he is still lucid. We did go for a drive which is never good for either of our blood pressures. I've got him walking up and down the street. I make him do exercises.

The big problem would be the third member of the disfunction.

My father loves the last five minutes of the show when the two members of the family compete to win the big prize. I think it's the Game Show network that runs a block of the current incarnation from around 5pm to 8pm every day. So, at every :25 and :55 he would switch over. I saw a lot of dumb folks trying to win the feud. I can't say I'm a big fan of Steve Harvey, either.

On a puzzling note, my father admitted twice that he has been watching the show since college, which I'm pretty sure is about thirty years before it first aired with Richard Dawson. I let that one go.

[Drunk Monk]

i dislike harvey too. richard dawson all the way. i mean...hogan's heroes...'nuf said.

okay, i'll say a little more. i have a RM friend who was a contestant in her younger years. she was a looker, back in the day. you remember how dawson used to kiss all the ladies. she claims he slipped her some tongue.
