My dad wasn't the warm and fuzzy type but he loved us so much and really hated to see us unhappy.  But lacking the tools to talk about feelings he took a four pronged approach whenever I was upset.  

  • Issue a directive on what I needed to do to fix the problem if he couldn't do it for me.
  • Blame the source of my unhappiness for being an idiot 
  • Take me out to eat
  • Buy me something shiny

Some people need more depth in their parenting, but this totally worked for me at every age.  I lost my parents in my mid-twenties and the eternal child in me still really wishes someone had my back like that again.  I know it's not healthy and yes I'm glad I'm competent and autonomous enough to solve my own problems...but sometimes I just don't want to.  

Well, I've been going through some shit lately at work - nothing serious but enough to weigh on me and I haven't gone into detail with anyone about it because I'm handling it and I'm fine.  Stressed, but fine.

One of my very intuitive sisters along with my brother in law kidnapped me today (along with Mr. Buffy) and took us out for prime rib and lobster, validated how much the people making me miserable suck, and gave me this...

shiny!  :)

Sometimes people who love you know what you need, even when you don't know you need it.

      I do wonder how many men who are monitored through Covenant Eyes and similar software just get another phone.

      House Speaker Mike Johnson might know.  His son monitors him via Covenant Eyes.  Mikey says he's a Christian, so why would a good Christian need a porn monitor?

      Pearls 2: Michael, Shoshanna, et al

      Ok. ISB joyride time. Is the poem about:

      1. Finding out that her ex-husband has a new partner?

      2. Finding out that she's been dumped by her boyfriend for one of her friends?

      3. Finding out that Lauren has a new job?

      4. Finding out that one of her Plexus downline has managed to take most of her "customers" and is now Platinum?

      Pulling this over from the Josiah thread. I'm doubt JB checked on Josh after he and Anna married. Josh says he's been reformed? Praise Jesus! He hasn't reformed? Well shame on Anna for not being the perfect enough wife. JB's a horrible human and a controlling, domineering individual but I'm not convinced he continued to micromanage Josh after he moved out. 


      JB and Michelle were happy when Josh married Anna because now he was her problem. Once married, if Josh got in trouble it was due to his wife’s shortcomings, not due to his upbringing. Yeah, they were happy to foist blame to Anna. 

      I’m not sure JB would have thought Josh was viewing csam online. He may have thought Josh might look at adult porn, but figured that was Anna’s responsibility to monitor. JB probably figured Josh was out of the way at the car lot and out of the public eye and that’s why JB set him up in business there. No need to really monitor him much as it was low key, nothing too exciting for the media to latch on to. Until….
