I did not make that comparison, nor did I consider it, that's your doing.
I'm talking about mothers... strike that, parents... wanting to help their kids get the things they want, especially later in life. Maybe because they have come to realize it's the kids that will pick the nursing home. :haha:

The situation between your grandmother and her daughter, is common, and I'll wager they both know what they are doing. If grandma, just handed the money as a gift, she would feel obligated to do the same for all her children. But parents find their children can be very different people, some are independent, some are needy.

But the bottom line is mother/daughter, parent/offspring relationships are complicated... and for the most part, their own business.

You certainly seemed to be making the comparison.
There is a lot wrong with a 50-something woman mooching off of her mother. It is other people's business...at least its the family's business. My mother is going to be the one to take care of my g-ma when she gets old, not my aunt. So my mother does have the right to get upset that my g-ma is going to be broke and unable to support herself cuz she gave all her money to the other daughter.

So in the end, it's all about the money.
Then it's none of my business.

Jebus H Cripes I wish a tornado WOULD come and tear the hell out of this city. People act like there has never ever been wind and rain before. "OMG WARNING WARNING TORNADO WARNING" even though it's a watch except for in Darke County (the Darke Side) where, if it snows rains blows or the sun is shining, they think their county is always in imminent danger.

Bunch of fucking Chicken Littles getting on my nerves. GAWD Nervous Nellies are boring.

So far it's just a bunch of yawn.

So shut up and let me concentrate, reactionists. :lol:

I scalded myself by being stupid while making soup

OUCH. Running it under cold water, I hope? Do it for a long long time. :(

Ice cube in a baggie....

Now I'm really pissed off, though -the soup tastes great, but I stupidly used a blend of herbs to make the chicken stock for the base which contained one herb I have found I can't stand the smell or taste of..... and I can still smell it over the awesome taste of the leek, potato and onion soup. :(

I needed herbs, grabbed the jar, dumped some in (too many really) could immediately smell the rogue -must find out which one that is- so fished most of it back out with a spoon. So the stock simmered and then i strained it and removed all of the herb bits and thought it would be fine. Wrong.

I hear you. Cyclone with tornadowatch for the next two hours apparently. It's just raining a little ffs. I'll report back when i retrieve my computer from the wall of the garage three doors down the street.

You will not believe what they just called it on the local news online:

Fucking Windpocalypse. I kid you not.

:lol:

You're right, I don't believe it.

My bad: they took it from the AP:

So, Chiclone, Windpocalypse.

Even weather news is too stupidly sensationalized to watch anymore.

At any rate, I'm getting some chocolate. Fuck it, apparently we're all going to die in the Wind of Death anyway.

I know Shaw. This is such bullshit. I was really stoked for a good storm and NOTHING happend. A little rain, some wind. They call is a "Gustnado" for Gust and Tornado.

Sheesh. Reactionaries. IF we ever DO get really bad weather no one will heed it because of these nuts crying wolf all the time...

I know. I think part of the reason it makes me so mad is that it never comes to fruition (I love the idea of severe weather, am stupidly fearless, I think if the wind wants to take me it will, and god help mother nature when she comes up against my bitter middle-aged wrath.) Well, that along with the hens a'cluckin'.

:scaredchickensmilie:

And that herb is?
