Praying

🤦‍♀️ I just got a text from Ohio again, calling me by the same wrong name again. I’ve had this number for over 15yrs. Maybe I should start a campaign back in my texts to these Ohio people. What needs to change in Ohio? Do you all need more cupcakes?

My S-I-L is an election official. I was shocked when she told me it was legal for anyone to check to see if someone has voted yet. Then I realized this will never change because it’s the lawmakers who would have to do it and they are the ones benefiting from it.

Glad to hear it. We all need a laugh right now. 😁

No, her sentences are the boring sentences, the unimaginative sentences, horrible sentences! LOL. During our quarantine Michiganders were going to go bonkers if she couldn’t come up with something new for us to do. It was always kayaking, every single press conference she would tell us we were encouraged to do the same three things and that was one of them. What about canoes and paddle boats, Gretchen? Are those only found in Wisconsin? Maybe she has stock in a kayak company.....

Oh, yeah. My 16 yr old heard from MoveOn. They let her know how important it was to vote for Biden. I received a text from Ohio (I’m in MI) telling me they could see I hadn’t voted and they needed me to vote for Joe and could help me figure out how to get my vote in. The Republicans And NRAare calling us on the landline. They really need to up their game. 😁 How did we get on all these lists? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just read Animal Farm and have to admit I saw similarities in the repetitive messaging.

Yes, at least she uses complete sentences. 😂

thesaurus, or a better speech writer. I can’t take it much longer. We live in Michigan and between her state press appearances and national ones, my brain will explode if she doesn’t come up with some new ways to express her thoughts soon.

One “out” for you is the legality of the foster care agreement. Isn’t it true that if you have a foster child, she was not part of the initial home study and so she cannot be part of the household with the child there? When we applied for a license every member of the household was evaluated. It’s not your fault that the law requires these things and you have to follow the law. As far as her situation, I would call a local housing non-profit and ask for direction. They will have more resources than you. If she isn’t willing to go through a charitable agency to get housing, there isn’t anything you can do.

One of One, that's hilarious. My 2 yr old grandson has a chicken named One because they got nine chicks. His parents kept telling him, "One will be yours." You will have one." etc. LOL Then the chicks arrive, and they ask him what he wants to name his chick. Well, duh, it already has a name. 😂

Perhaps someone has answered you, but I’ll answer anyway. I am a Michigander. That is right. However, in her address to Michigan the day she handed down the new restrictions she very clearly said that if you aren’t going to the store for medicine, groceries or other essentials you should stay home. It caused a lot of confusion. Many of her restrictions have been confusing, or arbitrary as in the case of lottery tickets and liquor stores being essential. I’m speaking objectively as a citizen that knows she has a hard job.

At first that came across to me as an announcement that your husband is still alive, in case anyone thought otherwise. 😂😂

These stories are incredible. It really reveals what people are like when they go through a major life change. I forgot about the realtor who added a zero at the end of our offer. That would have been almost a million for our starter house. LOL Then there was the realtor who worked as a team with the seller's realtor instead of representing us and questioned us about how we knew valuable information about the process. She and the other realtor were wondering how we knew that. It burned me that she got paid when my mom was the realtor(former) who educated us on what to do when buying a foreclosure.

Me, too. I really wanted to sell our house to a nice young couple instead of the guy who sat in the yard. Oh, well.

I totally get this. My last kitchen was huge, but the island was so big that it made the work area into a galley kitchen. It was a spec house and I think the builder thought cooks would love that island. Nope! We actually bought the house in foreclosure because he couldn't get it sold.

Had to laugh about the washers. Wow

Odd and sad

What a nightmare.

OH. MY. WORD.

Praying now.

Interesting that he was that motivated to mow, but just a little.

Unbelievable. It sounds like our sellers are twins! That is an incredible amount of junk to leave behind. 15 rusted saw blades? I love this house, but it also has lots of problems that were hidden and mostly things he did himself. When we went through the house we loved the walk in shower in one bath, but the light and fan switch were on the shower wall, so we asked for that to be brought to code. He bought an ugly exterior weather proof box and put it over the switches....in the upgraded bath his wife had carefully designed. 🙄

Wow!

What is it with sellers getting so mad? They agreed to the sale. Your first story is so sad, and so uncomfortable for you. Wow
