Do you ever feel like you’re the last bastion of sanity in an insane world?

Mrs m is a fundamentalist Christian: the world was created in 7 days, garden of Eden, Noah’s flood and all that. She told me recently that recently discovered Sanscrit documents prove that giants lived in India and were killed off by Noah’s flood.

Mrs m’s best friend has been continually taking out court cases against her own sister for more than 20 years. Contesting her father’s will because she believes that she’s due more than her fair share, and writing to politicians and current affairs programs about it. Now she’s doing the same against the housing commission. “I’m not letting them into my house to do repairs”, etc. Also an anti-vaxxer and anti-lockdown.

Mrs m’s sister1 is a vegetarian and former hippie who won’t touch anything with chemicals in it, thinks the government is poisoning the tap water, won’t visit a doctor or pharmacy but goes to a herbalist instead, and is a big believer in homeopathy. She advertises every environmentalist bandwagon. Her skin is in a terrible state from a lifetime of sunshine without sunscreen, sunscreen contains chemicals. It goes without saying that she’s a vocal anti-vaxxer.

Mrs m’s sister2 went to Israel as a missionary to convert the Jews to Christianity. She has a passionate dislike of communist Russia and won’t let anyone sit with their back to a window in her house in case a communist sneaks into her yard and shoots them through the window.

Mrs m’s brother1 is an optimist. Such an optimist that his views are 90% divergent from reality.

Mrs m’s brother2 only cares about the detailed lives of politicians and about car rallying. He was really happy that his son had a smashed jaw and foot, and barely survivied, in a rallying crash. “It was just bad luck, a centimetre either way …”.

My sister1 is intelligent, but has a bad temper. If anyone doesn’t do exactly what she wants then she will explode in a public outburst. If anyone corrects what she says, she will destroy them.

My sister2 has low self esteem. She is married to a baptist minister and went on missionary work in the Philippines.

My nephew’s wife never gets out of bed, spends all her time in bed with her puppies.

All the time. And I know I am loopy. But some shit all over me in the loopy stakes. And they think they are shit hot and together.

I do believe you are painting vegetarians in the wrong colour.

The last bastion of sanity is a remote block of land in the middle of Australia.

I’m thinking of buying it for my collection of odd things.

Everyone in the world is quite mad, except for me and thee.

… and I have my doubts about thee.

I don’t think much about family at all, but like hugs, I avoid anything more complicated than a good hug, really

of sanity, which i’ll insert rationality, capacity for consistency that way, doubt it helps to have too big ideas about that, imposing ideas

hugs again might be the way, or a good start

I should also have added.

Missy has allowed to non-monogamous partner to talk her not only into quitting her job, but also into changing her gender. Now she can’t go to public toilets.

That’s why they often have potted plants or garden beds between the two doors.

Its a power and control thing

Try and get her away from this poisonous entity by getting her to get involved in sport or activity. Maybe go for a family holiday where the other person doesn’t tag along.
