How many of you found a new found respect for squids after you got here or after you walked back into the ocean to get away for a while.
I didn't think of them much before but now I'm like well, they're not that bad. Might think twice before having Calimari.

That's understandable. Even doing stuff a person loves, they can't do it all the time because that's exactly what happens. Burn out.

Right. Though, I think it's always going to seem weird, being here without mom or Cassie. But Cassie would never get used to this place and mom would be pissed that there wasn't a good source of wine for her to crawl into.

I think it's just trade stuff for bartering? Which is fine, it's kind of a relief to not have to worry about actual cash money.

Yeah, capitalism hasn't reached this nice little hell-spot yet.

Look at it this way, at least you don't have to worry about identity theft or your credit score.

Sometimes it's better not to have family here. I think I'd lose my mind if Jody or Alex showed up.

I have Dean, he's kind of like family but these days all my family is chosen family so it's really just a game of pulling straws.

I hope it never does. I'm way more comfortable trading shells or embroidered handkerchiefs than actual cash or using a debit card.

Exactly! My local credit score is like A1+.

Jody and Alex are family? Brothers or sisters or...please tell me off if I'm prying too much?

I love Cassie, my older sister, and I love our mom. But almost all of my friends are Cassie's friends. So I kind of try to coexist with them. I wouldn't call them family, though.

[wiseass]

More like a chosen or found family. It's complicated.

Jody's like my mom. Alex is like a sister.

And most of my friends are way, way, way older than me. Or working friends
not sure how to put it

[thisislife]

Well, I mean, I've seen those scenarios on TV or read about them in books?

Mostly books, Mom is a tyrant with the remote. Don't try to come between her and her million dollar mansions or messy housewives on Bravo.

But that sounds good. Really good.

It's okay, that makes sense! All of it.

Well, his name is Dean Winchester. If you come across him on your own. I'll put in a good word for you okay?

Thanks.

[thisislife]

All right, thank you!
