Mmmm hmm. I decided last night it would be a great idea to work 'til midnight and totally forgot about the time change.

It is so hard watching my mother, the strongest woman I've ever known, struggle with what's going on with her body. I don't like seeing her cry, I don't like seeing her in pain.
The one thing I have learned out of becoming her caretaker, is that I am an incredibly strong woman. Physcially and mentally. I stumble sometimes, on the mental part...but who doesn't?

I can totally relate to that whole situation. A really long story, though. I would try to make you feel better, but I usually end up making people feel worse.
Why do I ask my cats questions, like they'll answer to what treat they want? "Oh, I don't know, the Chef's Dinner Friskies look good, but maybe I could go for those anti-hairball Temptations you got me, I mean, I do accidentally eat my fur a lot."

Thank God I'm home. I have not had a thrilling day.
Got no sleep last night, woke up with the start of a sore throat, had an eye ache, my computer wasn't working properly at work and I made pretty much no progress today because of this, the room was hot and things have just irritated me.

I wonder if these 50 Shades of Grey movie-goers realize that internet porn is totally a thing and you don't have to pay for it anymore.

I was wondering the same thing. Who needs that movie when there's internet porn? Not to mention (and this is only my opinion) the guy playing Christian Grey was a horrible choice.

So it's a bad thing to mess with people. I used to understand "mess with" as doing pranks or jokes. How do you take practical jokes?
A few minutes ago I watched "Practical jokes gone wild" on TV, some are really funny and other are evil. Like the girl who had super-glue in her boyfriend's cap. One of the funny ones was a guy who had a "pooter" (a toy that makes fart sounds). He pretended to be farting near the face of an old woman, her husband in wheelchair jumped up and came for him. When the prankster tried to explain the joke and pointed to the candid camera, the old man got more angry and started hitting him.
I'm a joker but I don't do much of the practical sort, and never mean practical jokes.

Quick question pertaining to Fifty Shades of Grey: Who, in the modern day, names their daughter Anastasia? Even if her parents liked the Don Bluth movie, I doubt that Anastasia Steele is my age...

I'm glad you're strong for your mom because I'm not so strong for mine. She was diagnosed with cancer at Thanksgiving and I'm physically, emotionally and mentally worn out from being her caretaker. There's nothing I can do and she will not help herself. I stumble so much it's not even considered stumbling anymore, it's just failing to be a good daughter.
@50 Shades: It was a terrible book and I have no doubt that it is a terrible movie. Porn and Harlequin "novels" have been around for ages so I honestly don't get the hype. It's written on a very low reading level and for a guy who has a room with almost every sex toy imaginable their sex life is damn boring and repetitive as hell.
Plus Christian is totally a creepy, possessive stalker. I swear if he was poor and ugly people would be screaming "restraining order."

Well there's "I'm being playful with you" messing around and then there's the "I wonder how much trash I can talk about you or provoke you before you get angry enough to retaliate" messing around. I was speaking of the latter. It's nothing I can't handle.
Some people just like to be complete jerks for no reason I guess.
As far as practical jokes, it depends on the joke to be honest. I don't like for people to take it too far. I don't like the humiliating and downright nasty practical jokes lol.
Don't be too hard on yourself Maggie. Sometimes I feel like I'm failing as a daughter but we can only do so much, afterall. We're only human.
Hell, sometimes my mom and I end up yelling at each other because we just get frustrated at the whole situation. My mom and I NEVER yell at each other but this bullcrap has changed that.
This is just more crap that changes us, as people, I guess...

Yeah, it just frustrates me that she doesn't seem to want to try and help herself, though. Like she lays on the couch all the time and she doesn't try to get out. I don't usually end up yelling at her, I get short with her a lot but most of the time I just try and walk away. I just can't take this, you know? I can't be her nurse and her daughter; it's just too much. I'm not strong enough.

If she's capable of helping herself then I agree with you, completely. Cancer patients are rough to deal with though. My best friend's stepdad had cancer and it took a whole lot out of that family, taking care of him. I hate cancer with a passion..a burning passion. I've had too many loved ones die from it.
You'll make it through that Maggie, and you'll be stronger for it. We're all stronger than we think we are

I wish I had your confidence in this matter but I'm not sure I do. Doctors seem very hopeful that this is something we can deal with but whether or not we can deal with it emotionally is something completely different.
As if our ****ed up family hadn't been through enough already.

The emotional part is just about the worst part. It isn't easy, at all.

Reminds me of the time I ran up on a Bojangles that didn't sell buffalo bites - which is sacrilege!!! I had to settle for chicken supremes instead and it just wasn't the same.
The next day I went to a good Bojangles and got some buffalo bites.
