SANTA CLAUS IS COOOOMING TO TOWN!

Word. I wear no makeup, I don't have high-end fashion clothing, and I don't really do much to my hair or style it. The difference between me now and me 10yrs ago (when I did do those things) is funny and sad.

I'd rather do without all the extra stuff and, like you said, get a better read on character, than to doll myself up and question whether everyone is genuine or not.

100% agreed

While I do comment about Erin, I have not really made up my mind and my opinion will not change the outcome - there is a jury whose job is to do that (and the judge).

Lindy Chamberlain was such a phenomenon - so many TV shows and media made fun of her (thinking of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine says to the Aussie couple "a dingo ate your baby"), when it turns out that she didn't do it and the First Nations people were right - a dingo did take her baby. An example of society not listening to plain women (read: not a hot, skinny chick) and First Nations people. And what happened? They fucking found the baby's clothing in a dingo den - funny that.

Regarding this nurse, it was definitely trial by media, everyone already was talking about it like she did it and we were just waiting for the justice system to catch up. It sucks babies died, but it sounds like the hospital (specifically those wards) we're understaffed, so she picked up extra shifts. Statistically, if she picked up extra shifts and did overtime, she's going to be present for more deaths than other nurses who didn't. Her diary entries shouldn't be admissable, they were venting and trying to process the grief. Idk. It's fucked up all ways to Sunday.

Mickey makes suckling noises, it's very cute. He also does a big sigh as he's drifting off.

Yes! Up there in my fav top 10 films! Every actor is amazing in it, it's funny and sad in all the right ways, it's a bit weird which is great!

10/10 definitely recommend

this framed print from my dad

He got it at silver k, I think. I love The Muppet Show (the series and the 1979 movie, I know ALL the songs), and I love OT Star Wars - so this is my most impressive and treasure item.

On par with it, is the carved camphor wood chest I have that I keep my linen and towels in - inherited from my great-grandmothers estate.

Updates about melbcat are sweet, but I find it sweeter to read what you're up to, even if it's nothing at all. I care about you.

Fixing sleep is hard, and lack of vit d wouldn't help (I mean just even the sun on your skin, not even necessarily vitamin d)

Sending you my love and good vibes 💜

I'm so sorry, that's just terrible! Sending you and your family my love and good vibes, and I'm knocking on all the wood in my home!!

I think, therefore I don't know.
