This is not only the MIL from HELL....she ABUSES her grandchild!!!!!

Today would have been my elder sister, Pauline's, 64th birthday.  I want to remember her even though she was a stillborn.  In one sense, I guess it is a blessing that she wasn't subjected the NBitch's abuse.

Some of the questions I've seen had my jaw on the floor!

Any Trekkies on board who have watched episodes of Deep Space Nine....such as "Dr. Bashir, I Presume?"

The first time I saw this episode, it was back in 1997.  When I was watching it again, it suddenly hit me that both Dr. Zimmerman and Dr. Bashir's father show Narcissistic tendencies!

Hiya Bones - are you getting your CERT hat on? You better batten the hatches, grease up the bilge pump, and strike the sails. It's fixin' to blow this weekend.
We start feeling the full effects tomorrow -- this is our last day to get ready. So GLAD they finished my storm shutters last week!

I'm working on this now and also in the process of brainstorming with a former colleague, who is Deaf, and is now a new member of my CERT team.  In my friend's situation, radios would be useless.  She has an IPhone that she uses for text messaging and e-mail.  If the IPhone system goes down during this storm, like my cell phone did after the earthquake, we need an alternate system of communicating during the emergency.  She lives in a different city a couple of miles away so if our wheels are unable to navigate after a disaster, we would be unable to walk to each other.  Definitely a challenge.

In the meantime, here is today's "Dear Abby":

The first letter writer may not realize it but her fiance' is showing all the signs of alcoholism.  It's not how much one drinks or how frequently one drinks....it is how the alcohol CHANGES the personality!!!!  The Doctor Jekyll/Mr. Hyde is a perfect description of this phenomenon.

My immediate reaction to the first letter was:  "Where does this guy get off attempting to DICTATE to others?!?!?!?!?!?


FYI:

With the Frankenstorm coming in my direction, I may be knocked off the Internet for awhile.
