That's exactly the reason why I don't talk much during family therapy sessions!

Keep us posted, granite. Is it diabetes type 1 you have? (I know that the two types are so different that some doctors think they should have different names...) Good idea to keep juice nearby. Take care of yourself, and please be careful to take your meds as directed.

See, this is why we need a system of Couch czars to be the recognized expert on whatever their area is. Bay is the Glitter Czar, SM is the Home Improvement Czar, you are the Smoked Meat Czar, etc.

And of course unaluna is the official Couch Lingerie Czar.

That czar I are.

Ellahmae · Jun 03, 2016, 04:48 PM

I wanna be a czar! Plus, I have an obsession with czar history. Fascinating to me.

Ellahmae · Jun 03, 2016, 04:49 PM

Late baseball game tonight. T and I are going to be watching it "together" (she said) as she's a huge fan of the opposing team.

I may have made some mistakes today which might come back to slap me upside the head. It's keeping me awake despite audiobooks. Anxiety is not as much fun as some other things that start with an A. Such as auntliness, which is next to nieceness.
Yes, yes I'm babbling.

I love my chain saw so much. So much. Just got a new chain and it is wicked sharp. Buzzing through even the hedge trees like they are butter. Like buttah I tell ya!

StressedMess · Jun 03, 2016, 07:28 PM

MKAC I bow to your chainsaw skillz. I feel the same way about my compound miter saw. Look at that beautiful angle, it's so straight, it's like magic!

stopdog · Jun 03, 2016, 07:30 PM

Don't forget the joy of a blowtorch.

Jun 03, 2016, 07:32 PM

Who was saying about someone putting an eye out. i have visions of juggling chainsaws and blowtorches and some removing the safety shield from the mitre saw.

Jun 03, 2016, 07:36 PM

I want a mitersaw also!!! So much. H and I have had arguments in hardware stores about whether we "need" certain power tools. The people there stare at us-- apparently because we are failing to conform to gender stereotypes. Several men have proposed to me in hardware stores. Lol.

Jun 03, 2016, 07:36 PM

In reference to the blow torch, I would really love to learn to weld.

This is an excellent point. Why is the person who uses blowtorches and smokes meat and approves of chainsaws always the one who warns us we'll put an eye out fighting with pillows or putting on makeup or elk wranging...ok, I'll give you the elk wrangling.

MKAC = Chainsaw Czar
