good grief, or my life as Roberta Barone

Sep 12, 2006 19:42

Okay, so I'm burbling along just doing my usual foolishness. Bought a little makeup, bought some books from this waaay discount seller, didn't think about money at all, because I never do....everything's great. Yah-huh. Go to periodontist. Very, very nice person. Very, very nice office. Have initial appt.; cost $140, no problem. Had x-rays, full ( Read more... )

OK, I'm back.

I'm really sorry about your gums! What the hell's up with insurance only paying for 25% of that? Not like you need teeth or anything... Jesus.

My hair swells in the damp, too, and I love it, because then my hair doesn't fall completely flat. I realize this may be easier to deal with on long, mostly straight hair than on short, wavy hair. In fact, it would be very annoying, to say the least, on short, wavy hair. It would probably be enough to make me contemplate a crew cut...

The disagreement with the snotty make up person had nothing to do with your grasp of being feminine and everything to do with her bad attitude. You have dry skin. She just couldn't believe that, but that's because she was acting like a jerk.

Net-ese: She suxxors, she can leave you alone, kthnx

Real english:

That's awful, and I don't get why she does this crap to you all the time. And I'm really sorry that I am not there, because if I were, I would make you some tea or some other good drink, and we could watch something funny, like Fawlty Towers (farty towels) and eat small amounts of ice cream.

I think it is good that you told her how you feel! I really do. She projects all her negative emotions about herself onto you, and then punishes you because she can't punish herself. That's my analysis, anyway. I'm really sorry that she is so mean to you. It's totally unfair. You have been a good daughter by anyone's sane standard. Don't let her convince you otherwise! You have taken care of her, even when she was totally awful to you.

I may yet live through this latest crisis. It's awful when one reflects on one's life and uses, "Well, at least I was never institutionalized and I never actually tried to commit suicide" as an indication of having relatively good mental health. That's a tad warped, no? Of course, I could say that to g'ma, adding, "And no thanks to you, you old turd," but that probably would be just a bit over the edge. It would feel good for a minute, though. No wonder you moved away....taking control of your own life at last. It's hard but it's better than being on the puppet strings. This stuff literally makes me ill, as in ulcers, i.b.s., nuttiness, generalized anxiety, etc. And clenching my teeth now...how about that? May have to wear a nightguard. Most nervous patient the dr. has ever seen. Great. How are you doing with all of this? I wish you were here too, so you could make me a cup of ginger tea and we could watch...oh...Gosford Park and talk about it, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (heh), Fawlty Towers or a new but truly hysterical show, The ( ... )
