@Liz_Wheeler First, our accent is more influenced by our peers than our parents. She is
from Oakland.
Second, code switching is real. People use language differently for different audiences. Much of the time it isn’t even conscious.
@MiddleMolly@keltrott@mjs_DC They will. That being said, there are no guarantees on hanging in there. (Also, it seems that Frau Alito is done, and a few more neighbors flying Pride flags could push her into pressuring hubby for retirement).
@AJDelgado13 On some level, I think J likes the attention from the ex (I will give him that he probably isn’t consciously inviting it or looking at it too closely), so he isn’t shutting it down.
E and J should probably get some therapy. And all three should agree on some boundaries.
@cartrefazzie@JayHulmePoet I want to do that as well. There is a lace maker in Malta who makes gorgeous altar cloths and trims vestments. It is my dream to make something beautiful for the church.
