And now getting a lecture about how, "It's not about race, not all the poor people who are in thrift shops are all black and hispanic, but I don't want mom in there with all those poor people who are more likely to be unstable or on the drugs."

Friends, I can't take it. I keep hearing stories about What's-Her-Name Canfield... Fran? Pam? Nancy! So Nancy Canfield. Who lives on 113A or up there somewhere...
I don't know these people. This could not be less meaningful to me.

Both of my parents have mucosal issues. My dad from smoking cigarettes for 30 years and weed for 50 years. My mom from pulmonary fibrosis. IT IS SO FUCKING GROSS and every time I have to clear my throat more than a little I get so fearful 😭

My parents have a metal roof and when wet snow falls off of it it sounds like little bombs going off and it scares the shit out of me. I can't believe how anyone lives with this kind of terror.

This is a cute cupy parents have. Even though it's in a typeface that really coveys the field guide is for cannibals or something? But maybe that's just because of the association with a warm gun?

Don't worry, mom brought up how her cousin's brother just died and my dad's brother just died, and her brother died a while ago... (Yes, I know her cousin's brother is also her cousin.)

Also a fun find, this mummified lime. My dad first said that no, it wasn't a lime, it was a chestnut. But it was a lime.

Dad: could you help us do a little shoveling while you're here?
Me: sure.
~Today~
Dad: so if you can get the path to the oil tank, around the tank, to the mailbox, around the garage, to the compost, to the greenhouse, the path around the house, and the bank in front of the garage.
Me: 😨

My dad couldn't find his boots. My mom had helpfully put them in the pantry.

Have we discussed how my mom was fumbling at the grocery store and someone gave her $20 because she had assumed my mom is homeless or indigent?

Apparently when my mom moved here, you still had to go to a selectman's meeting to get your car registered. When she showed up with my dad (a meteorologist), the select chair asked my dad if he had predicted the recent earthquake. My dad said he only does above ground.

When my parents moved into their place in Maine, someone backed into their driveway and dropped a load of fish bait... They assumed this was how they welcomed people to the neighborhood. Turns out it was a mistake and the guy came back and had to shovel it back in the truck.

Dad: we had that tree killed for the birds years ago. I've seen osprey, perigrine falcon, merlin, olive sided flycatcher, hawks... Yup! Great to kill it!

We've already heard about this fucking toaster oven 3 times. Diligent readers may recall that they also bought one for Georgia when they go for the winter. Where we also hear about it.
