I love my granddaughter and will show up and support her activities. But, CIJS, after the Winter Guard rabbit hole I just went down on YouTube I am wondering why death is not an option.

Interpretive dance with flags, sabers, rifles...and pretty shitty music.

My Friday night - envy me.

sigh

CIJS @arewethereyet that you sent me down a rabbit hole and I'm bitter about it. I spent 5 hours this weekend looking for a cheap antique mirror-less standing mirror for my daughter. My daughter is really into interpretive dance and drama, I'm now going to keep her away from any and all props, cheerleader and flag people.

Sorry about that.  I enjoyed marching band/color guard season when they performed at halftimes and in competitions but then I have a weakness for a good marching band.  I watched about a dozen videos of winter guard Friday trying to see what I was in for (actually fast forwarded through most of them).  I kept telling myself that it has to be better in person...yeah, well I was wrong about that.  Mostly I sat stunned with my jaw dropped thinking 'okay, something really good is bound to happen 'cause it hasn't happened yet'.  Yeah, wrong about that too.  Mostly it was awful - the music was awful, most of the costumes were awful, the time spent rolling out huge floor mats and then rolling them up again gave time to wonder - wth was that I just watched.  I am impressed that with all the things thrown up into the air no one was wounded upon descent.  The saving grace will be that there is only one more of these shindigs within reasonable driving distance this season.  

Bail gets her PE credit for participating and it's good practice for marching band/color guard in the late summer and fall...and I suppose it keeps her off the streets.

OY!

Jesus Christ Deb. I suggested to you that you should sell your bank shares a year ago when they were top dollar.
They've since halved in value and you ring me just now to ask me whether you should sell now or wait to see what happens.

Listen. Don't listen. It's your money Deb.

Can I just say, and I’m just being honest… I really don’t want this thread to die ever. Also, a part of me really misses this place. I think I mostly miss what it meant to me then though. I am really really happy with my life right now. But then…I wasn’t, so thank you guys for getting me through the dark times. Love you all <3

Can I just say - I agree with you and just be honest.... I too don't want this or any other friendly thread to die. I too miss this or that place.... me as the real me Kitty... for that place where you can feel like yourself.... no one gets angry, no one yells, no one judges....  the good old days.
