1:21 am
zoozzoom
I am still plodding along lol Parents are okayish. Still having the what do you want to eat today...I don't know then he will look at my mother and say what are you having....I don't know what are you having..And they always have the same thing every single day... She will now only eat microwave chips with a bit of cheese on and he will only eat sausages & mash potato.
1:21 am

1:24 am
sprite
yay, finally managed to use the -guys ending
1:25 am
zoozzoom
Oh wow Hope you stuck up for yourself I know that must of been a nightmare for you. Good on you for tackling your disorder. Small steps are better than trying to do big leaps. (that is not me trying to give advice) :-)

Get any vaccines lately? Peanut oil is one of the common ingredients in vaccines, and it often sparks peanut allergies because it's injected as a foreign protein.

Because it won so many Emmy awards, and I subscribe to Hulu, I watched some of "The Handmaid's Tale" tonight. One of the creepiest things I have ever seen on television.
7:28 pm
rururocks
Don't know about that one
7:29 pm
rururocks
I am relaxing with a glass of champagne right now
7:30 pm

Maybe two. It is pretty good
7:30 pm

Don't bother with it unless you are into a seriously creepy story. I won't be watching anymore of it.
7:31 pm
rururocks
I tend to not like creepy
7:31 pm
rururocks
Although i love The Shining
7:32 pm
rururocks
That was pretty creepy
7:33 pm
MollyL
I like Elizabeth Moss. She was great in The West Wing and Mad Men. Top Of The Lake and The Handmaid's Tale are just batshit weird.
7:34 pm

Speaking of Stephen King, I saw the "It" movie last weekend. A movie date with my kids. That is creepy too, but I like Stephen King creepy.
7:35 pm

Been doing Babble a while now but never got into the chat....you guys seem way to smart for me ...but couldn't ignore a conversation about Top of the Lake. There's a second season now.
7:38 pm
hoyamd
peri are you still looking for that re6/21?
7:39 pm
hoyamd
i read the handmaids tale. creepy, but i hardly think it's a "cautionary tale" as is being touted.
7:42 pm
rururocks
Elle. I don't know about way too smart here
7:44 pm
rururocks
Is IT the creepy clown movie?
7:51 pm
hoyamd
yes. its only the first half of the book, though, when the main characters are kids. i guess if the movie does well, they'll do the second half, when the kids grow up

Speaking of creepy movies, has anyone seen Mother! ?

Mother in my case would be very scary
