Things That Trivially Annoy You.

It's coming up to a close Relative's Anniversary. For a while there thought there was gonna be a Relative dying every year! I can't think if it actually came to that but kinda feels like it. There could have been 100 people in the Family but this person was close to every single member of the Family! And Loved by every single member of the Family! I can't stop crying right now though, as essentially, half my Dad's Family has been wiped out like! Literally wiped out! Try not to think about it or dwell on it but it's hard not to an odd time. His Parents and half his Siblings and he has a decent-sized Family. They're gone. But it just goes to show, people manage to get by. A sudden death, a Suicide, A Car-Crash, not taking away from terminal Illness or other things. But sudden unexpected trauma forced onto Family. Not invited by them at all! Such trauma like. But somehow folk manage. To get by! And keep going! Me poor oule Dad God love him. To think half his Family is gone. I'm sure he thinks about them all the time, every day, every other day, whenever. And yet he still manages to keep going.

We have had something similar happen with my mother's family but it was cancer, rather than sudden trauma. Her brother died young. Only 42 to cancer. Three years ago we lost my aunt in August, my Uncle in November and my mother in April. Three siblings all in a short space of time. Four out of six of them gone. I have seven siblings and the thought of losing them is not something I like to think about. It's not wrinkles and grey hair that bothers me about getting old, but losing all the people around me.

My mother was very strong mentally right to the end. She refused to go on morphine as she didn't want to be doped. I don't know how she did it. She couldn't properly grieve her siblings as she was worried about us, especially my youngest sister who was only 22 at the time.

Jesus t*tty f*cking christ. Mansize tissues are now the target of the offended and have to be rebranded as Extra Large.

I read a lot of bullsh!t today. First it was someone from Frozen saying that after reading Snow White to her daughters, she asked them wasn't it strange that Snow White took food from a stranger and wasn't it weird that a strange man kissed her when she was asleep and couldn't consent? The kids are 3 and 5. Sure it's important to teach your kids about boundaries and not trusting strangers but there is a time and a place. Let them enjoy the story ffs. Does she also point out to her kids that she made a fortune out of an animation with two women who have unattainable bodies that may effect their self esteem as they grow older? Of course not because hypocrites cherry pick their causes.

Secondly, Keira Knightly saying she doesn't want her daughter to know the Cinderella story because it was someone being rescued by a rich man and you should rescue yourself. Again. Ffs. It's a story and I don't know anyone who read Cinderalla and grew up thinking you would meet a prince and live a life of luxury (well maybe Meghan Markle :pac:). I'm surprised that someone hasn't objected to that story on the basis that it paints step mothers as evil people, given how common it is now to have blended families. In fact, a lot of the old stories have evil step mothers as the antagonist. They must be misogynist! Ban them :mad: I jest but it's something I can see happening :rolleyes:

The man size tissues thing I only saw on boards and at first I thought it was a joke but apparently it's real :eek: There isn't enough eye rolls. Wtf is happening. The lunatics are taking over the asylum.

I wake every night around 3am it's becoming a major TA now.

I agree with the re-branding. If it hadn't been brought up it would have made no difference but it makes sense.

Yes particularly when various characters of Haunting of Hill House awake at obscure times of night for nightly visions etc.. Only visions I've had so far are the quick return to sleep :eek:
