I don't think that sounds bad at all. I totally understand! And I would have an extremely hard time being around him myself, from all you have posted that I have read.

Our CPS case for the Ritalin garbage is being closed unfounded. Thank you, God. I needed that good news today.
The worker just stopped by and called Brian, since he won't be home much any time she is working. No, I did not mention any of this other stuff to her...I just want that case CLOSED, no matter what we do with what is going on now.

Jennifer, I could be that Fritz arranged the marriage. It does seem odd that he didn't discuss it with you first though. 
TL and I are sewing shorts that have a fly. Never buy New Look patterns. They are the most ridiculous thing. The directions are so convoluted that I got a headache trying to follow them AND figure out their unclear directions. Not only that, but it was actually missing a pattern piece. I have never had that happen. Fortunately it was only a carrier (belt loop) piece, but still.
I love to sew, but I usually sew simple things. I avoid zippers and rows of buttons. A button here or there is okay, but when I have to line them up - watch out. I have not sewn a zipper and years and have only sewn a fly once, about 27 years ago. I don't remember a thing about it either. I wish my grandma could come help me, but she's with Jesus now. My second pick is my sister, but she's in Louisiana. Next is the stack of books on sewing I own and looking at actual pants with flies.
Finally, I found a scrap of fabric that was big enough to cut out the front, fly and the underlap. We are practicing on that before making the actual pants. I don't want to mess up our good fabric and ruin all our work, so hopefully this practice run will save us. If these shorts turn out, we are going to make another pair right away, before we forget what we did right.

That made me laugh.
And yeah, Fritz should have talked to me about it...I mean, everyone knows I want to be married, but to just declare me as such without warning is a bit OTT.

Oh my goodness, Annie. Have you contacted the state insurance commissioner? That might get you somewhere.

Praying about the insurance battle, homegrown. Don't give up!
Yay! Case closed for Princess Donna!

At least with me, it is supposed to be temporary. Will you ever get your taste back? I just can't imagine being like this forever. I don't know how you bring yourself to eat when everything is a matter of texture and not flavor.

I don't think I would ever be that bold to tell someone that. I don't even tell my best friend that her own handwriting needs improvement.

Jennifer...take a deep breath and relax... (sorry someone decided to be annoying).
Ellie-Mae: My fil had radiation therapy many, many years ago and lost both his taste and saliva. He had to use artificial saliva to eat his meals for a fair amount of time. He spent his time fixing rather disgusting concoctions that would satisfy his craving for flavor. If I remember correctly, Heinz 57 sauce was one of his favorite additives. I'm sorry, but biscuits, beans, and buttermilk (one of his favorite foods) was bad enough all mushed together but when he added Heinz 57???

Jennifer ... I've got someone riding my tail about the kids too ... that they aren't doing "enough" work, and that ds should be writing a lot better than he is (he is 5, and she thinks he should have perfect penmanship -- both manuscript and cursive) ... and dd (age 7) should be fully versed in multiplication and long division. Whatever ... they are learning everyday and they are happy ... that's what is important to me. This person overlooks the fact that dd has taught ds to read ... and that ds can tell you anything and everything about the inner workings of complex machinery.
I feel for ya!

Lisa, now is the time to find your nearest Quaker Steak and order the atomic wings. 
{{{Donna}}} I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I am not sure I could have handled a similar situation with the degree of love and grace you've shown to Nick.
We've been out all day, seeing movies and going to the park and library and finally ending up at the church picnic. We had fun, but we're all tired, and now Jesse has a sore throat and a fever. 
My car will most likely be fixed tomorrow.  At this moment I have no idea how I'm paying for it, but it'll be fixed. I didn't actually talk to Bryan so I'm not certain he'll take the postdated check, but if not then it'll just have to sit in his lot till next Wednesay. Either way he won't see money till then, and I'm pretty sure he trusts me enough to pay him even if I take the car tomorrow. At least it'll give me something to drive that doesn't suck premium gas up through a very large straw. 
Jennifer, you didn't even invite me to the wedding. I'm crushed.

Thanks for the warning. I fixed it again.
I am sure that I am going to lose weight. I hope this doesn't last long though. I feel really messed up. It is hard to want to eat or to remember to eat when food doesn't have much if any flavor.
