Meeting with my lawyers tomorrow morning. I plan on asking if there's any specific things he did that we can use as an argument to the judge to not have to give him half of everything - value of house, savings, checking, my retirement accounts. This line of inquiry may lead to places I don't really want to revisit outside of my therapist's office. I've considered giving them a copy of my victim's impact statement as a starting point, but I'm not sure. I tried to read it the other day and I just couldn't do it. I feel ashamed of it right now.

Idk, i seen how the sausage is made!

the closest i get to dairy these days is whey protein powder. Hopefully any dried ground up cooties wont reconstitute in the time it takes me to eat my oatmeal!

Speaking of which: anybody watch AFV tonight? The tiny little girl explaining her Halloween shirt?

Possible trigger:

"Theres kitties and pumpkins and a witch's hat and a KILLER!" (A grim reaper) Mom's like, no no, thats the grim reaper. "Whats the grim reaper? A KILLER?!"

i was like, thats sharon stone as a baby! I watched Basic Instinct 2 last night

I make sausage. It is harder than it looks to stuff the mixture into the casings.

unaluna · Jan 12, 2020 at 11:56 PM

I know you are freudian-baiting me.

Resist her Siren call.

No - I am really not. I don't know how you could turn what I said into something freudian (although you are good at it)
I grind most of my own meat - pork, beef, lamb - and make both loose sausage (for sausage patties or to wrap around eggs for scotch eggs etc) and I make link sausage.
I use natural casings and you have to keep it full enough to not have air bubbles but not overstuffed so they burst.

atisketatasket · Jan 13, 2020 at 12:03 AM

Oh dear. Have a heart for ex-hankster, SD.

stopdog · Jan 13, 2020 at 12:05 AM

I am not talking charcuterie (salami, etc). Just sausage. And I thought I anticipated the problem areas by avoiding talking about the techniques with the casings.
I have done all I can.
Freudians are wily - even with my best efforts

You are like a squirrel tantalizing a cat from the other side of a window.

unaluna · Jan 13, 2020 at 12:24 AM

Im dying here.

Did you see youtube canadian Family Feud bloopers where the sudden death question was "name popeye's favorite food" and the (bleach) blonde answered "chiiickennn!"

This is almost as funny as that.

stopdog · Jan 13, 2020 at 12:40 AM

The casings can be slippery and can shoot off the stuffer.

I thought it was spinach. I don't recall seeing him eat chicken

Do you remember Baby Huey? I really liked that cartoon

unaluna · Jan 13, 2020 at 01:02 AM

I kinda look like baby huey now. She was great. Stuff always going on around her, and she just kinda floats thru it all. Thats me now. Bouncy bouncy.

Skipping didactics and instead sitting at a coffee shop trying to decipher some Fonagy.

What are y’all up to today?

LostOnTheTrail · Jan 13, 2020 at 09:02 AM

ElectricManatee · Jan 13, 2020 at 09:21 AM

LonesomeTonight · Jan 13, 2020 at 09:29 AM

unaluna · Jan 13, 2020 at 10:28 AM

I can imagine that it would be hard to read something like that and don't think any less of you for not being able to do it.

You're doing your best and that's all that matters. you don't have to be better than you are right now.
