<p>Oh thanks Lorem for starting the story and the link. After I closed the tab to the prestigiousity thread I was feeling slightly under-multitaskian. But I have a new tab now. I’ll add to the story but maybe not today - woke up feeling like crap.</p>
<p>I’m out of juice again. This is ridiculous!</p>
<p>By the way, I’m disappointed that no one took up the all-important, all-consuming question of what color suit to wear for the arrival of the prestigiousity [sic] thread denizens. I am willfully disregarding psychmom’s comment above. They’ve been invited, so of course they will show up, despite the fact that not one RSVP’d. But no one does anymore.</p>
<p>Lorem, I am simply too exhausted to write a chapter, having spent the evening trying to move a group of stubborn greenie grubbers (OOOPS–I meant to say, lovely, lovely people) onto one thread. Freudian slip and all that :)</p>
<p>Maybe the onset of evening and a glass of wine or two will get the creative juices flowing…I’ve seen what happens on this thread at night!! :rolleyes:</p>
<p>You want dysfunctional family dynamics? My mother had Alzheimer’s and used to warn people that “the bad man is coming.” My father was described as “the most disagreeable man I ever met” by several people; at his funeral, the nicest thing that could be said was: “he always wanted to be the boss.” My sister insists that her husband (a really nice guy) is having an affair with a 14-year-old girl he met on the Internet, but the FBI told her they “can’t do anything about it.” Plus angels intervened to save her during a robbery attempt.</p>
<p>Just in case anyone is wondering where I get my sense of humor from. :o</p>
<p>Is anyone around? I need 51 points to reach the next threshold which is exactly where I need to be to do an exact point test. Pretty please? Within the next hour, when I get restocked?</p>
<p>I’m around. In fact, I succumbed to pressure and just contributed to the story. I know you will all think it’s autobiographical, but I can assure you that my phone does not have a Frosty the Snowman ringtone, and my sister never made it to the Olympics. </p>
<p>Sorry about all that dysfunctionalism, although it sounds as if you transcended it admirably. Sadly, I cannot rep you because I already did this morning.</p>
