Such a heterosexual exists? (Casting no aspersions)

Trying to sleep in a hospital. Lovely people but I'd still rather not.

Zanzi, very much appreciate it. Seems I come here for many things, including comfort. Thank you so much, Crassers. Really helps.

Thanks RMN. No dx yet on walking/moving/stamina problems following several mild concussions. Medical opinion varies & all agree it will be quite awhile before they figure it out. Was interesting at first but now just monumental pain.

Thanks.
A little progress: just got a \"we need to talk\" email from my sister. Does not sound friendly but at least there it is.
Niece will follow her mother's lead.

Perfectly said. Thank you. Has the advantage of not sounding hostile, which I, regrettably, did. Thank you.

Oh, Colleen, how kind of you. Conflicting ideas abt what's what, but the consensus so far is... not good. Some off those subscribing to consensus do so just because they are reading the "working dx" line & give it no further thought (not my imagination...an expert in working dx is the source). Some of those who question working dx are experts in said dx. My sister, who has been a help beyond imagining thinks I am "in denial" because---I dunno? Am not falling apart? The certainty that I am not dealing realistically---nope. Don't need that at every turn. Had to say please don't just show up at any MD app'ts she feels like. Now she won't talk to me, nor will her family including MD niece (daughter of sister) upon whom I was depending and who has adored me (& I her) for 31 years. very strong personalities, each of them. Best ex in Whole Wide World is tired, but still such a champ. Best to your husband. Hope you all find a useful, hopeful road soon.

Would be handy to know a few Korean curse words. Any offering you care to make, of course w pronounciation directions, happily and gratefully accepted. Have a lively NY/Korean friend who has recently become quite...Christian.

Justifiably. Mom was kind and straightforward, made friends w the few salespeople (NorCal in the 50's? Not exactly the center of any fashionable universe.) whom she felt "got" her. They'd call to let her know when something she'd like came in. Given Professor pay at the time (very low) and her aversion to buying for buying's sake, that was not often. She took all this as a favor from darling people. As w so many things she was right. If I could find a grass green no extra gee-gaws straight-cut coat like the one she had when I was 4 & 5 I'd snap it up. Deep, deep cuffs. Luxury.

shortest kid. Wish I'd known I was cute. 5' 5 1/2" now exactly American female mean. Not hard to find clothes that fit, I will say that.

Concept of spring coat did not exist in my house. Camel's hair polo coat did the job until inarguably, jacket time.

Oh come ON! What do you have against elementary school kids? Older than that: April Fools not meant for you. You'll just look lame. Unless you are playing w little kids and NOT out to beat them. If you need to look more clever than a little kid, I don't know what to say.

Easter morning. Love it, always look forward to it. Perfect example of how feel & food remain when original, especially religious, meanings have faded from a family's current reality. Was always major holiday when I was a kid. The leg of lamb. Easter egg hunt. basket of choc Easter eggs topped by stuffed animal from Aunt Belle. Warmth, or promise of. A new dress. For church? Nope, just on general principles. From I Magnin. Mom liked nice clothes. Thanks, Mom! Happy spring, everyone!
