I keep thinking "Oh, I'll be back online soon, doing what I always do. I just have to get through this next week, and then everything will settle down and I can go back to writing about inconsequential crap like video games and porn and my cats

I am so sorry about Sargon's Mom. One thing that might be a good tool to have (and is kind of neat in a nerdy science way) is Allen Klein's books, Humor and Healing, also the Courage to Laugh (I think they are in most libraries, they are older books) which are specific to handling the emotions that come when someone you love is in a bad way in a way that's not all patronizing or Jesus!Jesus Is The Answer!

I am very glad you threw up, which is not something I get to say every day.

I know, right?! I am really glad, too! It was seriously not at all dramatic, which is highly unusual for me.

I will look into those books! We have a library just around the corner, too.

For the ponies, could you sculpt the coins out of sculpty or cut them out of thin foam pages and then just paint them gold?

[naamah_darling]

That's totally plan B! I just wanted something genuinely metallic, and most paint is not as bright as I would like. Gold polyclay is REALLY not very metallic! I was thinking paper or foam, cut with a paper punch, but I couldn't find any that was metallic on both sides. I'll keep looking, but meh.

*hugs for you guys*

My Dad died of lung cancer in 2002. Wow, ten years ago now. It will get better, and there will be times in the middle of the shit that you will still laugh.... but for now, just *more hugs*.

Oh, I'm glad to hear you didn't poison yourself in your spare time

I lol-ed.

I'm with you on the walk the talk thing, because the first thing I say to people who are going through Big Horrible Shit is "You are not obligated to Deal With Shit in any particular way, especially when that way is an expectation imposed on you by other people." There are many ways to shovel horse shit. This one is mine.

So maybe you point sternly at me and I will pretend to scowl at you and we can both just Not Go There?

I wonder for the pirate gold if you took a hole punch ( they come in lots of sizes for scrapbooking) to some craft foam if you could get something you'd be happy with. It's a thought.
