CDR Chat Thread #31 (child, advice, partner, sleeping)

I just went home on my lunch to do a couple of quick house-chores I'd been putting off.

My 17 year old son and his girlfriend were there, because they're both on winter break now. I busted them half-naked in the kitchen up to shenanigans. (Though he claims, loudly and repeatedly, that they were "just making macaroni!") It was hilarious. I threw blankets at them and made them go upstairs and put on pants.

This will henceforth be known as the "naked macaroni incident."

^^^Sounds like they were makin' bacon!

She is a giggler. There was giggling. So much giggling.

Silly kids.

Ohhh . . . It’s called “macaroni” these days.

I love love love it when I find new songs to get hooked on. I've been in a Depeche Mode sort of a mood lately, and I got to wandering around in Dave Gehan's solo work. Oh my. The songs, "Dirty Sticky Floors" and "Hidden Houses" are just freakin' DELIGHTFUL. I can listen to either of them over and over. I am so happy in my musics. What a lovely feeling.

Ok, kids, my OLD inbox “best” of the week:

“I’m an artist too, I’m really into photagraphy.” (No proofreading, or proofreading but can’t even spell what you’re “interested” in, so no.

“When I’m your age I sure hope I look as good as you do!” -35 y.o. (I’ve said before, you better look as good as I do at your age before you go wishing for that. And you really don’t.)

aaaand number 3, Guy Who Was Ignored:
“Ho hum...who’s that lurking in your bushes...” (is that a threat, or...a sexual innuendo...hmmm. Good thing I passed.)

That’s all folks, happy holiday weekend! Yay 4 days to regroup! 😽🐱😺

I'm glad I'm a guy. I put my big nasty dragon feet into my shoes and can be good. Mrs. Chow has a regimen of foot care that would baffle Einsten in its complexity.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to All & to All a Good Night...





Be Safe.

So my son's girlfriend (the one he was half-naked in the kitchen with last week) is kind of...a mixed bag at best.

She is cute as hell, very smart, and extremely likable. She has the art of complimenting people and making good juju with strangers around her down. She's got a cute laugh. She's got a good heart. And (from his perspective) she is happy to have sex with him quite often, which for a 17 year old boy is a big plus. From MY perspective, I'm just happy she has a birth control implant that won't run out for another year, so...no babies!

But she is also a mess. She's dealt with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, cutting, promiscuity, she's been in 9 different mental hospitals in this city and neighboring cities. She is adopted, and a non-bio older sibling molested her for years when she was a child. She presently sees 3 different therapists, and she knows a lot of psycho-babble jargon, and is forever trying to label and pathologize people. And her anxiety is such that it can be set off by all sorts of random triggers, and if my son is just sitting there not really being very expressive, just being...there...she is like, "Are you ok? What's wrong?" and won't stop when he says nothing is wrong and everything is fine. That would make me freakin' insane. Her relationship with her family is a mixed bag. I get the sense that they do love her, but they've had about enough of her problems, and are ready for her to grow up and get out. She's 18 in a couple of weeks.

So we had some Christmas Day drama because she was all upset, her parents only gave her one gift for the holiday.

A suitcase.
