And when it gets real heavy, and you start getting stroppy
They’ll deal you out some mighty fine dope
Librium, Mogodon, Thorazine, Valium
They haven’t got a pill called Hope
Thousands of us women have been cut down by lobotomy
Terrorized by ECT
Bullied into passivity, seduced into servility
I’m talking about you and me

Merry is like “meh” + “ree”

Mary rhymes with fairy

The little baby turtles! 🥰

Ixnay on the eansbay…

Interesting!

No thank you! That one really bothers me for some reason.

Same as “eltse” for else, “foe-ward” for forward, “warsh” for wash, and “ayggs” for eggs.

And some people say “heighth” for height and I swear it’s just to fuck with me.

You from NJ?

I’m from NJ and Murray, merry, marry, and Mary are all distinct.

Berry is like merry and bury is like Murray.

I’ve lived in Philly and then the suburbs for a couple of decades now and have never noticed the berry-bury thing - I’m guessing it’s a South Philly thing? So do you eat straw’bury’s or do you ‘berry’ your dead pets?

I hate it. I don’t personally want any eye contact, so I now how much eye contact is the right amount, and I end up making brief eye contact because I know I should, then looking away because it’s uncomfortable and I don’t want it to be too much. And I lose my train of thought in the process. It’s so much easier to talk to people if I can look in their general direction but not in their eyes.

Seer-shuh I think

Glaw-stuh-shur, correct?

Thanks Lady! :)

Yeah I was the family scapegoat. I’ve been able to forgive (mostly) but can’t forget. I try to be there for my parents - visits, checking on them, etc - but I hold them at arm’s length emotionally. They want real closeness but I just can’t open myself up to that. And I feel guilty about it but then I remind myself that it’s their own fault. You reap what you sow!

I swear this man is a gift from god herself

Beautiful pups!

Awww those are “play with me!” ears!

Toofusses!

Gimme all the gazpacho!

I like it to look nice and neat. Mess and disorder puts me on edge. I like the bed made with the pillows fluffed and throw pillows placed in a certain way. And I do feel like it’s more comfortable to sleep in a bed that has been made, because the pillows are fluffed and all the sheets are smoothed out and evenly distributed between my husband and me. I do just get in bed and turn over, I don’t rearrange anything, and instead of a blanket I have my hubby for knee support :)
