Jean in Newcastle Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Omigosh! Are you all okay? I know you said you weren't hit but shaking kinda indicates you might have sustained some damage, and a big shock like that can stress anyone's back into seizing up. Are you okay? Prayers for those involved. I hope no one is seriously hurt. I checked the car. I think all the scratches on the car are old ones and aren't from flying debris. I did tense up but I'm ok. I'm already sore so who knows if any of it is from tensing up. (Silver lining). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS9 knows who is running, and knows more than I do about the two candidates, I think. His sarcastic humor throughout also showed he understood what they were saying. About an hour in, though, he said the debate was getting ridiculous. He was right. He had had enough. I was proud of him for showing as much interest as he did. Because he's 9, yo. And after the debate I apologized to his generation, LOL. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The kids are lucky in that they don't have to make a choice this time. I am, however, requiring them to write a short essay on election day stating whom they would vote for if they were able to vote. They had the same assignment for the primary. Good for your son that he stuck around as long as he did. My younger ones have no interest in the election. Dd12 shares a room with dd14. Since dd14 was staying up past bedtime to watch the debate, dd12 asked if she could stay up late too. (Dd14 sleeps on the top bunk, so if dd12 goes to bed first, dd14 just wakes her up.) So, dd12 watched Little Women. Again. :001_wub: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Yeah, I googled that, and DH had to ask me what I was giggling about so much -- I read it to him. We aren't that bad, in fact, we have problems in the other direction when doing family potlucks. This family doesn't have the best or timeliest communication skills, but through many years now of getting together for the big meal we all have certain things we tend to bring. The overall rule is the host family gets to ask for volunteers to make certain things or can make them themselves, and everyone coming can bring stuff that isn't on the original menu plan because we have so many different people with ideas of "must-have" foods for Thanksgiving. If you want it there and it's not on the original planned list then go ahead and bring it! We ALWAYS end up with WAY too much food, especially when DH and I did 4 turkeys and 2 hams to feed less than 2 dozen people. Wait...does that mean you found it?? And if so, you didn't share it???!!! :svengo: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This link has the letter, and apparently some video of the gal who wrote it being interviewed about it years later. I'm not sure why they bothered for so long, or why she finally agreed to the interview. The audio is rather quiet, so if you don't have good speakers you might have trouble hearing all of it.

Critterfixer Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Good morning. Caffeine. I realized that I hit the trifecta yesterday: housekeeping, school/writing, a cooked meal. Therefore and forthwith, I crashed at nine. I did not watch the debate. I didn't need heartburn after dinner. Time to go print out copies of the story for tonight, and figure out what's for school. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curses on Costco. I had to make-do with some skim milk and Coffee-Mate, which is highly unsatisfactory. I think I'll hit the grocery store on my way home from taking DS to school.

lanalouwho Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I was out of coffee filters this morning. I had to go get coffee from the corner store. I wish I still lived in town, because that would have been a perfect excuse to buy a fancy coffee. Alas, even I am not willing to make a 40 minute round trip for fancy coffee. I halfheartedly listened to the debate last night. It made me sad. My internet is slow. The weather is absolutely delightful today. The boys let me sleep in until 8 this morning. I approve of sleeping until 8. It feels good to be a gangster. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 We told Gymnast last night that she would have to stay home alone today. Everyone will either be working or in school, and there's no one she can stay with. We let her know she could listen to Gitana (older cat, for the newbies) or Chavela (the older dog), but should not listen to Scout (younger cat) or Luna (younger dog). She said she's a bit scared, but thinks she can handle it. This morning, Scout jumped on top of the door. I reiterated to Gymnast that she is not to follow Scout's lead, because look, she'd be climbing the walls. :lol: Actually, I'm taking off today. She hasn't figured that out yet. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
