Yet another conversation with The Boy from last weekend. Talking with both critters about the “middle-aged chick emo” genre…
The Boy: You’re not really middle-aged. You’re halfway dead.
daisyfae: nice… doing wondrous things for my mood here, kid.
The Boy: Think about it. “Halfway” dead is probably optimistic. That presumes you’ll live to be 90.
daisyfae: always the optimist…
The Boy: Someone once said, ‘glass full / glass empty — whether you’re an optimist or a pessimist depends on what’s in the glass.’ let’s say the glass is partially filled with shit. then saying it’s ‘half empty’ is being optimistic.
daisyfae: “halfway dead”… i suppose there are worse things… [frowns, thinking deep thoughts... ]

Stupid kid. I mean, what if you die when you’re 60 instead of ninety? You are a half a century. Not half-dead.

The Boy is 19, right? Teenage boys have a knack for insensitive, loutish behavior.
By God, don’t play the victim! Tell him he’s being an asshole!
Hugs and kisses…

uw – oh, no… his logic is irrefutable! that’s how i raised him!
toby – victim? hardly! i was too busy laughing my ass off! same kid got me PMS meds when i turned 40 and said “enjoy it while you can”. That’s just funny! (yeah – we’re kinda strange this way)

Can’t follow that Nursey, so I won’t try. This refers to Daisyfae’s epic pome on DP today…..
There was once a young woman named Daisy (fae),
Whose life was a challenge – not aisy (hey), [!]
Her assessment of DP
And support for the TG -
Let’s just say she sure ain’t so crazy.

nm – Cheers! um… maybe not…
Lo,TG – welcome and thank you! you are the interwebs most patient woman… i’d like to host a party of all of the amazing women of this particular community, and toast to Lo,TG!
az – he’s funny – and he was only 15 when he did the PMS present. surprisingly this type of humor has not gotten him beaten by me, or anyone else. yet…

Halfway’s not so bad. We aren’t particularly long-lived in my family, so I’m already two-thirds dead.
