KrissiK Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 So, just as I was thinking, "what a nice quiet afternoon" DS's school called. He split his knee open in PE. He's ok, took him to the doctor, she said that he could get stitches, but that's a little dicey on the knee and it would heal without them. So, we opted for the Steri-strips. But I tell you, my kids are such weenies. I mean, they freak out at a paper cut. This kid.... I got to school and he was pale and shaking and whining, "it hurts, I don't want to walk, blah, blah, blah". I thought I was going to have to carry him (he's 110 lbs) and he finally discovered he could walk and made it to the car. Sigh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I just cannot even imagine this. Yeah...My mom wasn't very thrilled with him. But, he and my sister had a unique bond, so it would have been devastating to my sister had she said no. (It would have been devastating to my uncle, too. He was so excited to give it to her. I don't think it ever crossed his mind that he was crossing some major boundaries.) I can't even imagine getting a goat as a present. And now I'm craving gyros. We couldn't imagine it either, then it happened. And ewwww, I always thought gyros were lamb, not goats. I can't imagine eating Josie. (She was mean, so she was probably tough and nasty.) Also, we're watching The Good Dinosaur. The little boy, Spot, reminds me of my nephew, wild and adorable. The dinosaur reminds me of my daughter, skittish over everything. All the feels.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I just talked to a "research" telemarketer. I put "research" in quotes because it was a political poll with the most biased questions I've ever heard in my life. And I'm not leaning one way or the other in the polls. I finally told her that this was a complete waste of my time since the questions were so biased that they weren't even answerable. Some were sort of like "If you knew that Senator XYZ was an axe-wielding murderer, would you still support him". (Not a real question.) It was also hard to answer the poll because this (older) lady was very bad at reading out loud and I had to take a moment to decipher what she had read before I could even think about the question. She was quite adamant that I had to finish answering the questions. I was politely adamant that she couldn't make me. ;) And I (nicely of course) hung up on her. I knew if I kept posting to a silent thread, I would get the booyah and of course it was the post about the political poll . . . Does that break board rules?
