Getting Uncomfortable

[mizjjd]

Thanks for stopping by Nero, Linda & Agnes!!

"Facebook Social News" = Tumbler

LOL, H's grasp of the whole social media world can be entertaining.

Some random person photographed my son and another boy on the trip. This other boy is a little awkward... and this is what S162 had to say. Awkward boy (AB) took to following my S everywhere. Then he took to copying my son ie if my son wore a white shirt AB wore a white shirt. My son "pops" his collar? AB "pops" as well. Now, you have to understand my boy is a bit of a clown, and has great appreciation of "irony". So, this sweet child, who runs across parking lots to help old people enter stores, goes to the nursing home on Sundays to help the residents go to church, is the most helpful of all 4 children, thinks getting a t-shirt that says "Nice story Babe, now make me a sandwich" would be hilarious. Because he says, "Its ME! LOL! Like I am ever like that!" And, he got himself a snazzy fedora as well. And mirrored sunglasses. And a "pimpin" tattoo (henna, but boy it does look real lol) on his arm.

And you know AB... well you know he did all that too lol. (Like S162 MUST ALWAYS HAVE A TWIN!! But my boys don't dress alike, they never have.)

So there is my S and AB side by side, rockin the hats, the shades, the tats, and the chauvinist t-shirts, and someone snaps a photo and puts it on Tumbler. And it goes mildly viral, over 25,000 shares/reposts.

Now the part you will all appreciate is that H heard about this from a co-worker who has a son who is a friend of S162. And H knows this. Well, he knew it a month ago. But he didn't know it yesterday when the man said "hey have you seen that photo of your son"? No, yesterday when the man asked H about S162 H had no idea how the man would know S162, it was all a big mystery to him. Over dinner I explained the connection to H, who was so slow to "get" it that S20 asked him if he was being deliberately obtuse.

Not much new to report. H is texting madly with his sister these days. She is the one who he was trading abuse stories with. She is supposed to go visit MIL today. Be interesting to see if she can do this without getting in a fight with FIL. Because of course she wants acknowledgement and an apology. Not likely to happen, I don't think. And H doesn't understand her stance, why she can't just forget it. I try to stay out of it, just listen.

Mz. Jay if your H said "What is wrong with you!! You have a problem!!" NOW during a discussion about the morality of affairs, it would just be his scrambled egg MLC brain speaking. If he said that AFTER popping out of the rabbit hole though, now THAT would be a deal breaker. At the right time, you will discuss this, he will ask for forgiveness, you will forgive and THEN the two of you will have a clean slate to start again with.

This was his approach 14 years ago as well. I don't want to have this conversation with H, at all. He has been hinting at it, but I haven't taken the bait.

I have zero expectations of At the right time, you will discuss this, he will ask for forgiveness, you will forgive and THEN the two of you will have a clean slate to start again with.

IDK if that is pessimism or negativity, or right or wrong, but it is where my head is right now. And operating under this belief, I view our M as on life support - and I'm just trying to figure out the best time to pull the plug.

In other news a kitten has taken up residency on our porch.

Gotta go get busy!

Thank you everyone for stopping by and taking an interest. It is just awesome to log in and find out people have an interest in what I have to say - an interest in me.

Its Friday!! Woot woot! Have a great weekend
