Technically she never described abuse just neglect, but considering she ran away at 14 and when they would go to the cemetery she would detour past her uncle's grave to spit on it, I imagine there was something there that she didn't tell her kids about.

I do wish someone had told me about benadryl before my mother had full on dementia. Of course now she sometimes claws herself bloody in her sleep because of the itching.

But are you unhappily married and you end up rekindling some old flames? Or are you the happy couple being supportive wingpeople while your respective exs fall for each other?

Yup. Just got the cliff notes version from some guy at church, who has cherry picked and provided an interpretation formed specifically to back up an existing agenda.

Nuts can't hurt but dairy is already pretty good on protein. That's why ice cream or tiramisu is a much healthier dinner than cookies.

My once moderately tall mother (who was a very tall adolescent, but stopped growing early) clearly felt some kind of way when the shrinking and joint problems meant she couldn't anymore.

On the one hand my pulls were ENORMOUS, but on the other hand there was plenty of room to put it all out.

Honestly, "died peacefully of natural causes, but wasn't discovered for weeks" would be WAY more off-putting than an argument turned deadly.

I can't stress enough how jealous I was of all the people trapped in their homes inventing weird hobbies. They were living my cave troll dream and I had to go to work, and then they kept needlessly congregating there because they were bored.

I don't track my reading, but if I did that would irritate me, quite possibly to the point I would give up on tracking (especially if it happened more than once.)
