Lynn-What are y'all going to start next week? lunch was delicious and the conversation even more so, I got part of my Amazon order, the rest should be here on Monday. I'm just waiting now to take dd to work. I'm in pain, I tweaked something in my shoulder and it's killing me, I'm hoping to not have to go to the doctor for this. Hope your shoulder is feeling better! So, we're starting almost everything next week. Except the two who are doing OYAN and the one doing Byline will start those programs the week after. And youngest dd will start about half her subjects next week and the rest the week after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Ivy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Someone save me. The child has decided to watch a mermaid movie...except it's not even a D-list kind of movie. Nope. It's like a bunch of high school kids decided to write an awful screenplay and got mixed up with a subpar videography course and made a movie.

Critterfixer Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Editing-Po. Ahem. I am under 111,000 words now. I could probably query at that number and get some interest. I have over half my chapters left where I could do some trimming, so I won't query just yet. But end of August I will be ready. I painted more of my sunflower picture today. I think it is beautiful. I am starting to think I might have a little talent in this area, and I am looking forward to spending a little more time on it. My art teacher has booked a show for our class in May. I am supposed to have six to eight pieces done, framed, and some with price tags on them. Gulp. I am tired. My back hurts, but it's been a good day. I've been very depressed in the afternoons, and discovered that I have mostly been forgetting to eat lunch. No wonder. Ate today, no afternoon despair. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Oh my gosh, can never ketchup to this. Anyway. Work is good but why are men so bad at empathy in general? Just so bad at applying their brains to the questions of, "does this sound remotely believable?" and "am I doing this for them or for me?" Why? It seems like even if you could not be a natural you could apply basic logic and experience to questions and get a better answer than, "This is fine, I'll do what is easiest and that is the best choice." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 @Jean in Newcastle I don't have a use for sagebrush but one time we were standing in the street in our suburban Pacific Northwest neighborhood, so like 3-4 miles north of you at most, and as we chit-chatted about kids and school... La la la... A tumbleweed just tumbled by. Legit old west style, bouncing along in a very light breeze. We did not see where it went. It disappeared into nowhere like it came from, perhaps behind a tree. Have never seen one up here before nor since. #sagebrushisnottumbleweedbutstill 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hard is not being able to order breakfast, lunch and dinner. Of course this "clean up your own house and make your own meals" thing is a lot cheaper. . . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
