@AlliGoetz Don't tell Laura (or your mom/dad or D/D for that matter) that I blew up their spot, please. This is a story about how easy it is to ignore this bullshit.

Also, this is after we went apple-picking up by them, and they had said "oh, yes, we have seen the statistics and are taking it very seriously." WHICH DID NOT HELP MY MENTAL STATE.

(Incidentally, we heard you asked if you could tag along, and Laura and I were like "weeeeeeeellllll, if she asks us, maybe we'll have her get a quick test? Or something? I dunno. Tell her to ask us directly if she wants to go." "No, I don't want to do that. You call her." WHAT?

I'm deleting this thread after you read it, because I don't want to get in an argument about whose responsibility it is to do what vis a vis our goddamned parents/relatives/etc. (My Chaos Parents keep going back and forth to Indiana and also my dad is going to work...)

(...so... very fine parents on both sides?)
