I wrote my social security number down on a form once, but it was wrong. I'm 99% sure it was in a dream, but there's 1% of me that worries it actually wasn't.
So THAT'S probably why my 1 million dollar tax refund from years ago hasn't come in yet. Yeah, that's it.

But wait! That coat you're wearing in your avatar (what I can see of it) looks fabulous. Do you have a link to an online store or something where I can see the rest of it? Also you and your dog are super cute and look like you're having a lot of fun.
I have determined that I will take the steps toward becoming a better me. I keep talking about it, then life happens, this and that happens, and before I know it, I'm back to where I started, or worse. Oh, no. Not again. I am commandeering the grocery list again, along with the food menu. We haven't made a food menu for more than a month. Time to start that up again.
Yeah, I also have other factors like my sister's anti-veggie fiance. He has complained to my dad before about that. Sometimes that almost makes me cry that he doesn't eat a single healthy thing and he's extremely against trying anything healthy.
But I'm not letting him be a factor anymore. He's about to meet the bus he's going to be thrown under. Because honestly, my life is basically on the line on an emotional and even a bit of a physical level (okay, let me clarify - I'm not saying I'm suicidal when I say my life is on the line on an emotional level. But my food sensitivities/allergies severely affect my mood. Outbursts of occasional anger and mild to severe depression and fatigue). His life is on the line, too. So is my sister's. She has to make a diet change, too. She has some newly found medical issues that require diet changes. I am willing to go toe to toe with him on this one. He might make up two of me but I'm done with thinking twice about eating healthier or feeling about about buying "expensive healthy foods." I'll be talking with my dad about it.

Oh yea, I know about food allergies. Someone in my family has severe food allergies and can't have gluten or dairy either. I will pray for your situation, Lil. I've already seen a couple of pretty big miracles in the past month or so, so good things can definitely happen. I hope your dad is with you on this too. God bless.
I understand how frustrating this must be. I think if I were you, I'd just cook what I want when it's my night to cook, and he can have a sandwich or whatever if he doesn't like it. When it's their night to cook, they can make what they want, and you can whip up something for yourself. It's a good compromise. You'll never be able to change his eating habits. And what he eats isn't your responsibility. As long as your dad is okay with what you purchase at the store, then do your own thing. Actually, if you agree to compromise with them maybe they will agree to buy the things you need when they are shopping too.
I'm not the authority on what is acceptable or unacceptable. However, I like the personal touch of the second example.
I suppose that that's what I was getting at when I brought the subject up - just posting a scripture (out of the context of a multi-post conversation) or an an article by itself is kind of impersonal. I want to know what was going through a person's mind when they posted.
anyway....done 'splainin'

but do let me know if you figure out how to whisper into the darkness of the interwebs, request personalized memes and get some real results.
because that has pretty limited success for me--however, i'd really like to get my hands on a wish-granting genie.
someone! anyone!!! please make that happen!!! ; D
