Hi everyone. I figured since you were derailing my "bad people" thread I might as well come in and hang out.

All righty.

*whips up freezer*

Careful- freezers have been known to cause brain freeze.

*walks in door looking grumpy

I think my Ex is talking to a lawer. Asked me if i'd ever been to jail and if my driving record is good.

Could I get one of those descolada delights?

String, I'd be happy to make you something non-alcoholic. I could make a recolada Reminiscence- slightly less conforming, non-alcoholic version of the descolada delight. I'm underage, so I can't serve alcohol.

Uprooted- yes, I remembered. Heh. It WAS funny, though.

Oh, indeed! I don't own the fire. It is lovely, though. Have a seat on one of the squishy sofas.

Thanks for the milk and veggies, Tinros!

Ah yes uprooted, thank you. We were never maried, but were together for about three years before she got all crazy and up in left two weaks before she found out she was pregnant.

I'll have another Recolada, please

*whispers back to Uprooted* I have no idea what you are talking about. And if you DID see something that you ought not to have, then I'll have no choice but to eliminate you or make you my thrall. You didn't really see anything, did you?

Oh!! excuse me! sorry I was so clumsy. Tinros, can I borrow a towel to clean this up?

Umm, Ms. Shvester, what was that you s-said? N-no, I didn't s-see anything. N-nothing at all.

You know, I'm wondering if those wacky pregnancy hormones were kicking in and making her crazy. Every time that I was pregnant, I kind of fell to pieces very early in the pregnancy. Even before I got the pregnancy test results back. Later on, I found a new equilibrium and calmed down.

Maybe if you reach out to her, and approach really quietly and gently, so as not to scare her off, you can help to calm her down and find her equilibrium again.

Do you want her back? Would you want her back if she stopped being crazy?

Ah, I don't know. If she asked me to take her back I don't think i could say no, but I've aproached her a few times, and as of right now, everything I do makes it worse, so I'm kind of distancing myself from the situation. Don't get me wrong I'm still around if she needs me, and I've told her that, but as for right now, I'm just seeing what happens.

<crunches carrots>

String, I am hoping that all turns out right with you and the girl and the uncle in jail and the rest of your anxiety-provoking family.

My son always says that you shouldn't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes. 'Cause then you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Nope, wasn't you. I just fell asleep there for a minute, sorry. Guess it was the warm fire.

I don't think there's anyone here to get us a drink. It's OK, I still have some of mine left. Kinda melted, though.

Admit I don't know how to build/find/fix/change something? .....I don't know about that. I think I'll use the instructions, then if it doesn't work because I read them wrong, I'll just blame them.

But seriously, I think I'll head over there later and help them with that.

Hmmm... I think I'll whip us up a couple of "Children of the Mochas." It's like rich hot chocolate, but with a little coffee and a lot of caffeine.

*makes two Children of the Mochas*

*plops down in squishy chair by the fire*

*sips hot drink*

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

This is the life.

Tinros! You mix the best Children of the Mocha that I've ever had.

So, everybody has a story -- uncles in jail and pregnant girlfriends with unassembled furniture, a virulent case of the CPU flu, and an enthralled snoop.

What is your story?
