Avoiding Ulcerative Situations
Posted by KTC on 22 September, 2007
It tried to get in contact with me again. It tried to add me to its Facebook as a friend. I couldn’t believe the e-mail when I got it earlier today. I made quick work of denying it though, that’s for sure. Given my reasons for not talking with It, I know damn well that I’m justified.
I would have thought that the long drought in communications coupled with the dissatisfaction with It’s views would have given It a clue that I didn’t want to talk with It anymore. It’s been over a year (April/May 2006) since I’ve fostered any kind of communication with It and still It doesn’t get the message.
Weird. If It’s reading this blog then It should get the message and leave me alone. This is the only place I’ve put my Facebook link up anywhere outside of private, closed e-mail lists. This makes me think that this blog has to be the source of the interest unless It has taken to searching me out online wherever I might be.
Aside from the above, there’s something really remarkable happening. I’m seemingly now immune to the machinations of my family.
I was sitting out on the back patio, admiring my incoming chili peppers, and my mother came to me with some drivel about Pee Aunt showing off again. At first I tried to work up the energy to be pissed off but it just wouldn’t rise. When I realized what was happening I just smiled and even my mother could see that it wasn’t affecting me.
I even picked up the telephone just now without a trace of anxiety at dealing with them. It’s like someone put ice water in my veins as far as they’re concerned. Man, am I glad!
I’ll post more on my peppers as soon as I can get batteries for my camera and I can figure out what variety one is. They’re all Seeds of Change but one is getting a lot bigger than the others and doesn’t meet the characteristics of the seeds I bought. Still, the fruit look delicious coming in and I’m not cursing it for not being what I paid for. I’ll be shocked if the fruit are REALLY big but it will be a happy shock.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but…here’s hoping to many more hot, bright, sunny days for the rest of the year. I want as many peppers as I can get. And Swiss Chard. I’ve got that growing in the same pot.
And now, I sojourn in search of Eccleston inspired Doctor Who episodes.

Wow, sounds like I’m not the only one who’s family puts the fun in dysfunctional!

Oh man, “That Family” (what I call the ones I don’t like) is in the Jerry Springer Hall of Fame. I only really deal with them for the sake of my mother.
She told me today that she was worried that they’d start in on me if she were ever to be incapacitated and/or dead. I told her, they’re not bothering me. I hold back on what I really want to say but if they way to start something, I’ll finish it.
Outside of my mother, I only really associate with my cousins and two uncles. There’s another whole family of uncles, aunts, and cousins from my grandfathers second marriage, but I don’t know if I even want them dragged into this. They’re nice people.
