I'm glad you didn't say Oedipal, because right now, all I want to do is murder her.
We had this conversation not too long ago-
“I thought the Mayo Clinic was going to be like the ER, where a whole team of doctors works on you at once.”
“Mom, I’ve been in the ER four times in the last year. They don’t do that there.”
“Yes they do, I’ve seen the shows!”
Thanks! I'm glad I didn't go through something like that as a kid. It must have been super rough. I can handle it a lot better in my mid-40s I'm sure.
That would be like telling the tide to not come up to your feet.
We went with a jigsaw puzzle instead. They're frustrating for everyone involved and no one wins, so it's far less contentious.
In that case, I'd be the frustrated one. We got it at Goodwill and I said to her, "what if there's a piece missing?" and she said, "why does that matter?"
It matters! It soooo matters!
But it looks like it was brand new, so hopefully that won't be an issue. It is an issue that it's basically just a big ad for Costco, but what do you want for $4?
Anything to keep her quiet.
It is not.
I have some with me anyway, but it is not. And neither is Wisconsin, the closest state over.
Thankfully, I brought enough for my needs.
Yeah, someone else told me it was legal too. Either way, I brought my own. :)
I hope you get back soon too.
Weed is definitely legal in Minnesota. I can tell you a few places here in the Twin Cities that sell edibles, but anything else is a bit harder to find because of how legalization happened - edibles happened first by accident because Republicans can't read, and last year with the DFL getting the house and senate they properly legalized it but the full rollout has been slower.
