via Facebook... Misha is all snuggled in, so adorable. So she can eeeeeeeeeeee DIRECTLY INTO MY EAR. Because I need to rub her ears. Nonstop. Forever until morning. I keep feeding her junk food and valium in hopes of her falling asleep...so far it hasn't worked. I may resort to....corporal cuddling. I fear it will backfire. Maybe I'll just get bag a bag of kibble....

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Totally not racist. In fact, a friend died by hanging so the noose is to commemorate his death. And the flag is something about honoring the Southern tradition of Hanging flags. Or something. Totally getting blown out of proportion.... *face palm*
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "A group of students at McGuffey High School asked students who were “anti-gay” to wear a flannel shirt and write “Anti-Gay” on their hands when they went to school on Thursday. They also circulated a “lynch list” of students who participated in the Day of Silence event and tied a noose to a flag in a classroom" A lynch list. Because wanting to murder other students is just okey dokey.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "For example, 32 defendants were sentenced to death and 14 of those defendants have either already been executed or have died in prison. These cases cover 46 states and the District of Columbia. Defendants, along with Federal and State Prosecutors, are being notified so there can be a determination whether there are grounds to exonerate the defendants, grant new trials or pursue other types of possible relief." Fourteen people murdered because the FBI lied. Fourteen people who are beyond justice.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Squee! You can watch Ralph try to help his Broham play. This is adorable.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Um, that "flag desecration" you were going on about? About that... "The woman who became internet-famous last week when she stopped protesters from 'desecrating' the flag was demoted by the Air Force after she posed nude in Playboy -- draped in the flag."

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I need a Corgi. Any dog with tush skirts, drummies, and majestic poof needs to live in my home.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am introducing a new law, feel free to use as needed. Palahniuk's Law: The first person who mentions that you are/are not a beautiful and special snowflake loses the argument by default for having such a small and limited fucking imagination. Double extra lose if it relates to something on a spectrum and the person is trying to deny someone's status as a legit outlier.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... What bollocks for brains asshats who "fought for your freedoms" forget those freedoms include burning the flag. That was probably made in China or Canada anyway. Also note that despite her carrying what could be used as a weapon AND resisting arrest at NO TIME did the police fear for their lives and, in fact, kept screaming at the Black people who were trying to get their property back and not at the white woman who stole it. Nor did they take her sorry ass. But racism in policing totes doesn't exist. Also Michelle Manhart is a disgrace.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I found here a pair of Jimmy Choos for $300. Just saying. And hell yes I bought them.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... No. Guess what, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD SHOP TOO. Sometimes people shop for disabled friends or family. STOP SCREWING OVER THE POOR YOU ASSHAT!
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Oh, and here I was thinking maybe that was a job for,oh, something like a FUCKING SHERIFF?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Reports indicate that the approach of a Portuguese-flagged container ship sent by Italy's coast guard prompted people on board the boat to shift to one side, upsetting the weight distribution and causing it to sink.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Well, good. Those cops were obviously racist pieces of crap who needed to go. Glad to see them clean house themselves. Now for the rest of the country....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "A Des Moines, Washington city councilwoman and former King County Superior Court judge was caught on camera assaulting a 6-year-old special needs student. Jeanette Burrage, who works as a bus driver for the Highline School District, faces charges of 4th degree assault after video showing her slapping the child’s face." Bloody fucking stumps where hands used to be.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... “You see, we need to be very clear about where the challenges in this community first started. Folks in Indian Country didn’t just wake up one day with addiction problems. Poverty and violence didn’t just randomly happen to this community. These issues are the result of a long history of systematic discrimination and abuse.” “Let me offer just a few examples from our past, starting with how, back in 1830, we passed a law removing Native Americans from their homes and forcibly re-locating them to barren lands out west. The Trail of Tears was part of this process. Then we began separating children from their families and sending them to boarding schools designed to strip them of all traces of their culture, language and history. And then our government started issuing what were known as ‘Civilization Regulations’ – regulations that outlawed Indian religions, ceremonies and practices – so we literally made their culture illegal.” Yes. That is what we did. And thank you for saying it.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, I've had a really bad couple of weeks and this one coming up doesn't seem like it's going to be much better. Misha agrees and says "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" My core family is great, it's not that, I love them and they tolerate me (LOL) and maybe I have three baskets of laundry to fold but hey IT'S CLEAM SO YAY ME! but it's everything outside and a few people that are just slicing me. Word of advice: I don't care how angry you are or how hurt you feel, if you are an adult you had better act as such and make the decision to not curse at my son. Ever. And via text? No. I don't do fake friends and I don't do being used and telling my kid to "fuck your face" is pretty much an automatic deal breaker in my book. I give umpteen and eleventy chances for most things, but even thinking of hurting my kid is not one of them. And standing on my property yelling at my kid because you don't to go to a party I'm paying for? Game fucking over.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This is awesome. And a wallet pocket in the sleeve of a hoodie? That is SHEER GENIUS AND NEEDED TO EXIST. I might buy one.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Oh my. a good G&T is my drink of summer. Variations just a bit of zing...
Darlene Pineda

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, cuddling with my "eeeeeeeeeeee"ing dog and getting some sleep....catch with you in the morning.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Oh sweet baby Zeus, Misha can drink a half gallon of water at a time. That is one meaning for her "eeeeeeeeeeeee". Thank goodness RJ can lift her, because with my back and shoulder right now I just can't. And after that much water she gots to go! Lol! Luckily I have a very few really awesome irl friends who are helping me out, plus family. <3 <3

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Had the BEST lunch and conversation with family and friends, totally stuffed, and discover CHOCOLATE FLAN. A bright shiny spot in an otherwise dreary freaking week.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... A year ago... This is likely my last weekend with her. All the feels.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Besides, this so-called "nice spring weather" is really PLANTS HAVING TEH SEX and they are trying to kill me with the pollen. Trying to KILL ME.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Read this. This is love. "Whoever saves a life, it is as if he saved an entire world."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I mean, an actual CRIME? REALLY? Who freaking knew? This is when I get stabby......
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "they always look at me, I want to kill them now, I want to hang them from a tree,” But look, totally not their fault, cause, like, they didn't understand the power of like, social media? and like, their up bring was totes racist so really all their parents fault, I guess?.... Because lynching someone for looking at you--no, lynching a black man for the crime of LOOKING at a white woman has ZERO FUCKING HISTORICAL CONTEXT AT FUCKING ALL and there is no way in HELL they had no knowledge of that, ESPECIALLY if they had a racist upbringing.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... The most important thing about this is that, in Somerset, England, there exists a Scythe Festival. And not JUST a Scythe Festival, a WEST COUNTRY Scythe Festival, implying that there may be OTHER Scythe Festivals in other areas not West Country. Also, apparently, weed whackers are just as crappy in West Country, England, as they are here in the States, and we should all go to Somerset and learn to use a scythe properly. At least that's my take away from the whole business. Agreed?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Things I learned today, and you can, too, by browsing my timeline: Zebras are capable of TERRORIZING AN ENTIRE COUNTRY. Like, a whole COUNTRY. Not a block or a house, but a whole entire country. Why aren't we weaponizing them? Female chimps make spears, yo, and apparently will cut you if you hoot at them. Also I think all the animals are conspiring to end us, and really can you blame them? Connect Four is a legit means for conflict resolution, and I like it better than rock paper scissor lizard Spock. I think it need to be televised with color commentary and stats. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts are way more healthy for you than like 95% of everything else you eat. Especially kale, which is actually spinach poop. Although when baked apparently they are more acceptable. But then, when baked, everything really is. I still can't get past the bloody Zebras.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... WHAAAT? NYPD have racists among them? I am SHOCKED. And APPALLED. And also anti-immigrant? I just cannot FATHOM. Their policing is SO OBVIOUSLY NOT DEMONSTRATING THESE EXACT THINGS....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... See, this right here? School officials would have bloody stumps and holes where their eyes used to be....because lawsuits and shit? No, doesn't stop the next school and the next school and the next school.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Alligators using tools, seals eating sharks, now chimps making spears... I think they had a conference and decided that humans needed to go already.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I need to move to Belgium. Especially if it's also on a day when I'm trying kale...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Pretty much the ONLY way I'd eat kale. Ave then I'm sure It would still taste like spinach poop.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "He put me between his legs and spanked me and after that he throwed me to the wall,” the 8-year-old said.z The coach would be a dead coach.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... But i'm sure that has nothing to do with his job nor would be any conflict of interest AT ALL
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... A cop in Middletown, Ohio decided that the best way to stop a schoolyard fight was by pushing kids to the ground. Now young students have organized a protest against this officer and are encouraging others to speak up.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I have made books, from cutting the covers to setting type to gluing in endpaper to actually setting the book. It's awesome.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Oh, yeah, remember this bit? I say we tattoo it to foreheads when people take office. Backwards, so they can read it in the mirrors....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... “I have gay friends" -- Not anymore you don't "and I apologize to my neighbors." -- okay, starting good "I’m sorry for the confusion." -- WHAT! What freaking confusion? Oh, it was only a prank, not like gay bashing or anything. The neighbors are at fault for getting all confused and not realizing this...
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Oh, there are a particular set of parents I want to ram this down the throats of. And then all the others. My Dad summed it up best, "These parents will defend their kids who murder and rape, get them lawyers and make excuses and do everything they can to free them, but let their kid be queer and they can't be bothered? What the hell is wrong with people? They are terrible terrible parents." And that is why I adore my Dad.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "The transformations were so dramatic—changes that usually take generations to unfold were happening in years. Almost overnight, women began holding key positions..."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... How many people support it shouldn't matter. The act of state-sanctioned murder should never be okay except in immediate defense of self or others. See how easy that is?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... WHOA. I had no idea cars were LGBT....Is that why some have rainbow stickers?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Or why "Fitting into your need for a narrowly defined definition of acceptable behavior" is shite.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Misha is sleeping. Not eeeeeeeeeeeeeeing. Just...sleeping. April has been one huge clusterfuck of kicks in the face interspersed with wonderful things followed by more kicks and heart wrenching moments and betrayals and attacks but then mother-daughter shopping and Misha sleeping peaceful. I'm looking forward to May.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I can totally do this for about 1 millisecond before collapsing in a dead heap.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "If we don’t stand up with those who are protesting this week, greedy corporations are going to continue to burn all of us, employees and taxpayers alike. But if we stand up together, we are heard. We are taken seriously. We make change happen."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Well that says a hell of a lot. And none of it good. Pardon me while I go puke.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... ALL OF THIS. Also I am determined to just make peace with my body. "THIS WAS NOT BRAVE. I’ve been told how brave I am for not having a coverup, but going with out (sic) a wrap would only take bravery if I cared what others thought of me, but I don’t. I spend my time worrying about things I CAN control and this day, I was only thinking about how fab I felt and how much sun I was catching ☀️ Things that DO take bravery? A family battling tragic illness, a mother trying to beat addiction, a person trying to break free of domestic violence, reaching out for help when you have already planned your suicide and feel like you can’t breath one more day. THAT is brave. Not wearing a swimsuit at the beach. LIVE life and only worry about what really matters."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "Sanneh, from Gambia, walked to raise awareness for water scarcity in her home country. She said she and her daughters leave her village in search of clean water at least three times a day. During the race, Sanneh wore a message board that read, 'In Africa women cover this distance every day to find water. Help us to reduce this distance.' "
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I guessed Florida or WV. I'm both disappointed and pleasantly surprised by GA.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Hear ye, hear ye, all Facebook friends and "friends". If you have a problem with me have the courage to speak it to my face. If I find out you went behind my back to have a little chat about how horrible and awful I am the odds are I will find out and I will then treat everything you say publicly to me like the complete and utter bullshite it is coming from a cowardly bunch of toad-brained bollock-headed asshats. For that is what you will forever be to me now.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "Let's, like, totes PRETEND to live on food stamps this week and it'll be SO COOL and we can be on TV and everything..."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Misha is none stop Simple Dog with eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee happening ALL. THE. TIME. And she needs to be rightnexttomecloseascanbe. There is not enough Ativan in the world to make this not nails on a chalkboard. That I haven't jammed pencils into my ears is a tribute to my ability give in to her power of cute. Also I can ALMOST get my right arm to 90 degrees so yay shoulder injury healing. I have to constantly pick Misha up so boo to the back. Also Misha has decided to just pee wherever she is. Yay for laundry and piddle pads. Not to mention Spoons. I know I left them SOMEWHERE...I thought I maybe had one left?
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Ireland seems to be taking the lead in the sheer amount of savagery towards women and children.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And Misha is awake and "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"ing. I moved her and changed her bedding so she's in a clean spot. Meds all around and hopefully a few more hours of sleep.....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Yup. "what is more apathetic than being complicit in neoliberal economic exploitation and murderous imperialism just because Hillary Clinton masquerades as a feminist and spouts rhetoric that you somehow interpret as being ‘less evil’ than her equally disastrous opponents? That logic basically allows you to skirt the issue of your blatant disregard for families being torn apart by American deportation or bombing campaigns so that you can pretend to be a stalwart defender of the liberal domestic project of the week because you filled in a square or pushed a button in 2012 and then again in 2016"
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Misha is in FULL sundowners confused/drunk "eeeeeeeeeeeee" mode, interspersed with heavy breathing, yips and yaps, whines, and drooling, with an occasional small seizure. Oh, and random peeing. In my bed. Plastic sheeting down, drool towels out, music playing, headphones at the ready for when I just can't take it....shit,, she was down for a few seconds, I was hoping. We upped her seizure meds. They may be unrelated to her kidney function so I'll talk to the vet tomorrow about addition options. Meanwhile? Guess who isn't sleeping.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... The crime of police who harass instead of help. This is how people end up dead, btw. By police who escalate and then claim they felt threatened. Thank goodness there was someone willing and able to step in.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Whew, I was concerned about the cities seized by Christian Extremists.....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This is wonderful. "It’s dangerous to be complicit in this effed up society’s idea of “vagina = woman” because if your whole identity as a person is tied to a single aspect of yourself that you didn’t choose, if someone else gets to decide what makes you a woman, than that thing that makes you a woman can be revoked like a learner’s permit at any time."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "“The United States remains committed to addressing the urgent issues of indigenous peoples in the hemisphere, including combating societal discrimination against indigenous peoples, increasing indigenous participation in national political processes, addressing lack of infrastructure and poor living conditions in indigenous areas, and collaborating on issues of land rights and self governance.” It also notes that the U.S. “continues to believe the OAS can be mobilized to make a practical difference in the lives of indigenous peoples,” but reiterates that it refuses to sign the declaration." Of course we won't. Because that first part about commitment "to addressing the urgent issues of indigenous peoples"? It's all bullshit. Canada too.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... 'I want to apologize to all whom I offended by my use of the word to describe the autism epidemic,' Kennedy said in a statement. 'I employed the term during an impromptu speech as I struggled to find an expression to convey the catastrophic tragedy of autism which has now destroyed the lives of over 20 million children and shattered their families.'" RFK, Jr., kindly fuck off. With a cactus. For you are a douchelord of an asshat.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Awake. Got Misha outside to finish peeing (yeah, the bed needs changing). Between my sore shoulder and meds and her bad hips and meds it looked like two drunks trying to hold each other up. But guess what? SHE'S QUIET! And in a few minutes I'M GOING BACK TO SLEEP TOO! Yesterday was nothing. Today? Today I hurt. No, let me rephrase, ToDAY, I HUUUUUURT. Like someone worked me over with a bat. I need a wife, but I'm getting way more selective about those. Steve! You would be useful about now! Ugh. (insert squawking noise)
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Good night all. I am ready for sleep. I am so tired… And I'm going to sleep.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Gah. New project: Take Misha's temp after seizure to see if her brain has fried. I spend much more time than is comfortable dealing with my dog's rectum. Just saying. I hasn't. Consistent 101s. Time for my meds now. I can't figure out if the "eeeeeeeeeeeee" is part of the seizure or her being disorientated and medicated. Nails, chalkboard. And my bed is covered in drool. Le sigh.

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... SHHHHHH. Misha is FINALLY knocked out...crap she moved.... *holds breath* Whooooo, just shifting position. Only took six valium to finally knock her out and stop the the "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" sound that went on for SIX HOURS NON-STOP along with small cluster seizures. Her kidney levels? Fabulous. FABULOUS. My dog is...the Terminator.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... And herein is all the many reasons I will never ever give Hillary Clinton my vote. Ever. Frankly your SCOTUS rulings are less important than millions of deaths. Sorry.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Misha is at the vet after a series of short seizures that weren't stopping. Waiting to hear bloodwork results while I'm flat on my back. Pouring. It always pours.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Which is obvs why tyranny reigns now...my friends excepted, of course.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Look, I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton. She isn't progressive enough for me and she's way to hawkish and her position on Palestine turns my stomach. So far I have no idea what her presidential positions will be at all. But I don't like dynastic rule. I don't want to vote for her. I don't really care about SCOTUS appointees. A liberal house and senate can do more work and get more done anyway, AND block the damage a conservative POTUS might try. Here's the thing: I get how important SCOTUS is. But we kill people. Millions of people. And I cannot vote for anyone, ANYONE, who is going to keep doing that. I'm not going to vote for anyone, ANYONE, who supports Israel's genocide of Palestine. There aren't many issues that trump genocide. Full stop. Their blood will not be on my hands. And I am really fucking tired of being told implicitly or explicitly that i *have* to vote for Hillary no matter what because REASONS. Mostly boiling down to the GOP is so dangerous we can't let them have power. But you know what, I can walk the fuck away. I can insist we dismantle this farce. And I can certainly not just vote for someone because they will kill fewer people or do less damage locally. That is not a good enough argument, that Hillary is just the lesser of two evils and have some obligation to vote for her otherwise I'm betraying minorities and liberals and... No. Bull with that shite. Bloody fucking bollocks. No one tells me what I *have* to do. I do the fuck what I want to do. And that includes vote. And I am sick and tired of Democrats half-fucking-assing their way into office.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... My state is seriously one of the most oppressive states. It's a test state with a lot of money coming in.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Okay, I think I might be ready for sleep. Except Misha is now wide awake. *sigh*
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... "I’ve said this before: there is no justice where there are dead black people. I’ll continue saying it, because if we’re satisfied with charges and potential prison time, we’ve missed the entire point of #BlackLivesMatter. This isn’t about getting "better' police, ones who exercise discretion in using force, but getting away from 'needing' police altogether."

via Facebook... Home. The Teen carefully put me to bed, got me fluids and food, settled dogs, and generally did fabulous. Hurting less because they gave me things to hurt less. Also a shot of imitrex in my belly because yeah, stress and such triggers a migraine. I love injectable imitrex. I mean, I want to marry it. Also, funny moment when I almost fell off the X-ray table. We had a giggle. To tired to ice. Tomorrow. Now? Awake until I sleep. Tell me things. OH, and the best part? I BOUGHT LUGGAGE WITH SKULLS ALL OVER IT! PRETTY ALMOST FLORAL SKULLS. TOTAL WIN.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... I am unbroken and heading home. Sore and need rest and ice over the next few days. And I have beautiful urine, damn it. That has to count for something.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Best/strangest compliment of my life: "You have beautiful urine!" Hydrate people, hydrate.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... He was along out there for five days before being found. We need a better system for caring for those most vulnerable to abuse, because family is to often perpetrators.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Giftedness too is not always seen as a socially positive and valued trait. Many gifted kids are bullied, others underachieve to hide their abilities, and some experience anxiety and depression with increased risk for self-harm.[2] As many as 20 percent may drop out of school.[3] The social and emotional needs of many gifted children are ignored. Many seek homeschool and early college as more suitable alternatives, though some bypass higher education altogether, having become disillusioned with their earlier experiences, or unable to cope if untreated for unrecognized learning or mental health issues."

Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Year to date our police have killed 316 people. Some of them may even have been justified, but at this point every single one should be considered questionable because WE KNOW THEY LIE. WE KNOW THEY COVER UP. WE KNOW THEY PLANT EVIDENCE. WE KNOW THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. I am not afraid of terrorism. Of ISIL. Of Iran. Of undocumented peoples. Of any of the bogeymen used to frighten children. I'm scared of the police. Gun control? Start with the police. Take away the guns, the tasers, the body armor. Stop the fines. Stop the victimless revenue-driven crimes. The police should only answer to the people they serve. Until that day comes I am afraid of them coming to my and killing my dogs and killing me.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... If someone loved me enough to bring me tacos I would trade in my brother, happily.....
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Thunderstorms. Ah. That's why my head is doing flip-flops and is being crushed by fire. *shakes fist weakly* Damn you weather. Damn you.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Although I was poor after I grew up. And I obviously got over the buying stuff issue. But for real? When I moved out I was 20, and I remember saving enough money to go to a diner and eat a full meal. You know, with the salad and the sides? It tasted so good. I can, twenty five years later, still taste that chicken and green beans. It took a long time to develop different money habits.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... Crap. I just remembered I didn't eat dinner and I took my migraine pills so I have a teeny window to eat something. Gotta go.
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... ALL OF THIS. This is what MUST be understand, faced, acknowledged, and only then change even begin. "The killings of minorities by police are instructive in this regard, not because all policemen are violent racists or murderers (the vast majority are neither) or because they are personally responsible for killing large numbers of black and brown people (they aren't), but because they are agents of the state, and so their actions, and the consequences they face, serve as a sort of index of the public will."
Darlene Pineda
via Facebook... This. This isn't ONE CASE where there happened to be perfect video. This is about every other case. This is about every other case where black bodies are dead and cops make the same claims and are believed. Every time.
Darlene Pineda

Sadly when she came out her family of origin was not accepting, but their loss is our gain <3 Steve and I are hoping to do an adult adoption so that we are next of kin and can be her family legally as we'll as in spirit, and RJ has a sister and Brian a niece. And I have someone to SHOP WITH! WHOO HOO! So please welcome Heidi to our ever-growing eclectic group of family and know that she has our full support. Mess with her and you mess with us all :D
