Zahdii February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 The kids in my family never needed to get a whooping. In fact, I was the only one who ever got one, and that was because my mother and aunt left me and my cousin in the care of my hungover uncle and I dropped a book while he was nursing a cup of coffee. He yelled and came at me, I ran to my room and thought that I'd be safe there. He burst through the door and started hitting me. I fell to the floor so he took off his belt, picked me up by my ankle and started beating me from top to bottom. I peed myself and he got his hand wet so he dropped me, kicked me a couple of times and picked me up by the other ankle and beat me some more. When it was over I crawled into the closet and hid under a pile of stuffed toys and clothes. My cousin was found hiding in the garage when my mom and her sister returned. My uncle was passed out on the couch, my aunt took her kid and left, my mom put me to bed, and when my uncle woke up mom told him to leave before Dad got home. No cops, that would have been embarrassing. Uncle was gone for a few years; first he was avoiding the family, then he went to Vietnam. When he returned he was welcomed back as if nothing had happened, but he was never left alone with kids again, so I guess that's something. Outside of that, The Look was enough to get us kids to behave. The Look, especially from Dad, was terrifying. One time a drunk driver wrecked his car on the road right in front of our house. My 5 year old sister saw him get out of the car and take a bottle and throw it into a field. A deputy sheriff lived right down the road so he was on the scene right away. He had the drunk in handcuffs when he asked me and my little sister if we'd seen the 'accident'. Little sis started telling the cop what she'd seen when the drunk started yelling at her to shut the F*** up or he'd kick her ass, and she ran into the house screaming. Dad came rushing out and I told him "He (meaning the drunk) threatened her!" I got to see The Look turned up to defcon a million and wisely got out of the way. The cop took one look and grabbed the drunk, threw him in the back of the car, shut the door and turned to face Dad. "I can't let you at him. He's so drunk he doesn't know what he's saying and I doubt he'll remember it later. You need to let me deal with it so you can stay here with your family." Sirens were heard as another sheriff approached the scene. Dad calmed down until the drunk, who'd been thrown across the seat finally managed to get himself sitting upright and started yelling again that we were all dead. The cop told him to shut up and then move aside a bit so the drunk could see that he wasn't yelling at a small child anymore, he was yelling at her large pissed off father. It was gratifying to see The Look take a belligerent drunk and turn him into a puddle of teary-eyed fear. The Look is a powerful thing. For misbehaving kids, it meant that further foolishness wouldn't be tolerated. For the drunk who threatened us, The Look meant that whatever he was thinking he would do would result in dealing with my dad, and all the alcohol fueled aggression and bravery he could muster was like an ant trying to bully a T-Rex. Long live The Look. May it always be used responsibly. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-792318

nachomama February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 Holy shit balls. I wish that story ended with your mom ripping off your uncles junk and shoving it down his throat. My niece and I got the "don't make me come in there" when we were supposed to go to sleep and we were giggling under covers. So we stifled and tried to go to sleep then looked up and a spider was dangling just above us. Blood curdling screams he said he would let the spider get us next time. I have the look preserved on video. My mom recorded my dad mowing the lawn and when he noticed her in the back door filming OMG the look. And of my mother I got 2.2 seconds in all the video shot in all the universe I have my mom sitting on a chair in the back yard while my dad is at the grill. I'm on her lap. She gets up. Puts the meat tray on her head (do not ask me why ) and into the house. The entirety of stuff I have to remember my mother by. people ...do not film endless scenes of snow or mountains or choo choo trains I have no idea where any of that crap is. And I've got people in these films I have no idea who they are. I got couple seconds of my mom, wearing a poncho and putting meat on her head.

That was the threat/promise of my best friend's mother, and it was guaranteed to make them act like statues when uttered. I didn't meet them until I was a teenager, and was in awe of how well it worked. My friend told me that when those words were uttered, mom meant business. She would stop wherever they were (freeway, city street or country road) and haul out the miscreant(s) and start to walloping. And I guess she wielded a mighty hand.

nachomama February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 I HAVE A COMPUTER! /me weeping with joy. Oh yes my mother could swat us in the car like nobodies business. One time we were in my dad's truck (pre seat belts) and my sister decided she wanted to look at the bridge we were crossing and she was too short to see out the window so she decided to OPEN THE FREAKIN DOOR! to look down ( I mentioned no seat belts right?) My mother snatched her by the back of her pants, got the door shut and slapped her silly while keeping it on the road. And she was a terrible driver. Ha! There's gotta be a Darwin award for my sister, she did a lot of stupid stuff like that. We were swimming with my cousins and the game was jump off the diving board "through" the floaty ring thing, you were supposed to hook your arms onto the floaty ring so it would bob you back up. All of us had this down, I'm the youngest if anyone was to be confused it shoulda been me. Anywho she goes through and doesn't catch it so she's at the bottom of the pool. One cousin jumps in, I think yay he's gonna rescue my sister, nope he hauled in the floaty. Finally other cousin dives in and drags her stupid ass up. Her explanation? She just got down to the bottom and waited because she didn't know what else to do. It never occurred to her to just push up. My mother was in eyesight of the whole thing and was too busy yakkin it up with her sisters, never noticed a thing. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-793905

Irishmaple February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 Right there with you. I don't care what the episode is called or if the entire thing is devoted to Beth's autopsy, I'm thrilled that it's Sunday and The Walking Dead is back. I have several centimetres of snow to clear off the sidewalks this afternoon but I don't mind because it's Sunday and my show is back. Ascending Jupiter got indifferent reviews but I'm still going to see it this afternoon because it looks like fun and my show is back. Nothing is going to kill my good mood today. I never got into Breaking Bad (I know, bad me) so I'm wondering if Better Call Saul is going to work for the newbie viewer. I'm really disappointed that Talking Dead is going to be an On Demand thing for me from now on because staying up for an 11.15pm show is not an option for a woman who is expected to be alert and functional and at work by 7.30am. I haven't been around the boards very much lately because, much to my surprise, I don't watch much live TV any more. You guys know I've mentioned my job is a time suck and I spent part of the evening hanging out with my room mate, who insisted I watch Two Broke Girls last week. I thought it would be okay because Darcy from the Marvel verse is in it. Ye gods, that show was appalling. How is something that bad tying up a network time slot? Anyway, getting myself in front of the TV for the 8pm to 10pm TV block has become pretty much impossible so I've become an On Demand viewer, catching shows when I can. I don't have HBO Canada or The Movie Network or Super Channel or even Space any more either, so no more Justified, Black Sails or anything of a premium nature for me until the DVDs are released. I thought the transition would be painful because it also cuts down on my ability to join forum conversations but it honestly hasn't been that bad. I'm a week behind with several shows (among them Sleepy Hollow, Arrow and several other favourites) and my world hasn't ended. My live viewing currently consists of three shows: 19/2 on Monday nights, Suits on Wednesday and 12 Monkeys on Friday, and the only reason I watch those three live is because they aren't available On Demand (I have Rogers and those shows air on Bravo and Showcase channels; it's a Canadian thing!) I will never give up live viewing of The Walking Dead though and I'll be on the live thread tonight so I'm looking forward to actually interacting with all of you guys again. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-802426

ghoulina February 8, 2015 Share February 8, 2015 I'm conflicted about Better Call Saul. I really enjoyed him on BB, but I'm just not sure if the character can carry an entire show. Not the actor, but the concept itself. Or perhaps, more to the point, will it be something *I* will like? An entire show of Saul? Although, I put off watching BB for years because I didn't think I would like it, so.... At any rate, I am recording it. Will get around to it later in the week. Mostly I'm annoyed that it's premiere is bumping Talking Dead. Sunday nights belong to the dead in this house. I watch TWD live....okay, not live-live. I wait 15 minutes so we can FF all commercials. I can't deal with commercials and this show, sucks the life right out of it. Then I chat with you guys after it's over, while I watch TD. So yea, I hate change and Better Call Saul is fucking with my routine. I am looking forward to tonight. Honestly, after the mess that was the hospital arc, they wouldn't have to try that hard to make the second half great by comparison.

Since then I've seen an episode here and there, enough to tell that eventually it got better, but not enough to make me go back and trudge through the oldies.

So if you decide to watch, I'll be just a little bit happy (no pressure!). :-) 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-805025
nachomama February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 This is really goofy and stupid because Tyreese is fictional but I was super bummed last night. Even if I don't love him and even think they were right everything happens the way it's supposed to happen...blah blah. Today I found out that a lady I do christmas cards for every year, she's super nice always has a family photo and I've seen her kids every year for the past 4 years, last year her dogs' eyeballs were glowing like they were space aliens and I fixed em digitally, this year I fixed her 15 year old son's acne. We just heard that he (15!!!) had a heart attack. He and his older brother both had a congenital heart defect, they went to fetch him for dinner and found him unconscious. They're lookin at taking him off machines today. And while I do not in any way believe that Bobbie christina deserves any less than any other human being, whether or not she had any drugs in her system, goodness knows she was handed a pile of crap outta that family but holy crap this is unfair. Tyreese had me thinking too much and now I have a real life person to apply it to. This funk is not good for me. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-805709

nachomama February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 I'm glad to be up and running again too, jobwise I've just been in an agitated state for over a month because I'm having to share computers and it's less than ideal. I know it's not my fault but I feel like eyeballs are looking at me like I'm the weak member of the herd. I AINT NO REDSHIRT! I'll be happy when they go back to just slicing and dicing and don't make me think so much. Truthfully I wouldn't be good for much in the apocalypse it's a miracle I survive the regular world day to day. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-806492
BrokenRemote February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 (edited) I feel the same way about surviving the regular world. I'd last as long in an apocalypse as I had canned goods squirreled away and boards for my windows. We're having yet another snow storm, and I feel like just getting to work and back on days like today should earn me a damned medal! Also, I've been relegated to a tiny room that is not an office, which at first made me angry, but now makes me happy because none of the herd can find me to eyeball me anymore. As long as I don't get put in the basement and stop getting paychecks, as in Office Space, I'll take my little cramped hole I suppose. Other people--bah! My annoying news is that my surgery has been postponed. I was all geared up to get it over with this week, and now I have to have it hanging over my head for another month. I guess I could use that extra time to get my apartment super sparkly clean so I don't lay there recuperating feeling bad because things aren't done. Still, it's ticking me off.

nachomama February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 This kid is gonna make me cry like 50 times today. His family is donating a kidney to another kid in his school whose been on the list for years. I would suppose they'll donate other stuff but this is the only known recipient. BrokenRemote I'm so sad that you aren't getting your surgery on time because at this point the only thing that would cheer me up is poking you while you're high as a kite. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-806940

nachomama February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 That'll work, I feel like going home and getting liquored up. But then I'll be like "oh look, I've got a kidney I'm not using, here have it" and I'll try self donation. Or I'll run down the street in my skivvies handing out canned goods and all my worldly possessions. Shouting "I'm a smurf killer! I'm not worthy of these beans or this dvd of Ferris Bueller" waving the damn blue socks that left blue fluff all over my house. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1850-small-talk-ughngnggh-ugghhnnn/page/22/#findComment-807049

Disraeli Ears February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 So the SO and I went to the home show at the Denver Convention Center on Sunday. He says to me: "This would be a really good place to hole up during a zombie apocalypse."
