Openhearted Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Good morning! Latin lesson has begun. More coffee! (I will have to tell the kids about black moon day. We are studying astronomy this year, so, science!) Dawn, how is ds enjoying his new job? He really likes it. Thanks for asking. :) He is a town Marshall on the weekends, but is still working full-time corrections at the jail. He has been fitted for a new uniform complete with a bulletproof vest. (Kinda scary, isn't it?) He has applied for a full-time deputy position at the prompting of the sheriff, but a decision won't be made for a couple of months probably. Tell me more about this black moon. I haven't heard about it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Can any of you spare a prayer for ds' college pre-calculus test? He knows the material but freezes in the tests. And the tests are what count. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Prayers said. And good vibes are being sent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Ok, now I'm ticked. I could have slept a half hour more this morning but ds didn't bother telling me that until now. And a later start puts second sleep in jeopardy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as scary as it sounds, huh? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 They're baaaaack! The telemarketers, that is. They have been plaguing the kids' phones recently -- a new development, as the kids' numbers were previously unknown to telemarketers. DH has now added the kids' numbers to the no-call list, so some of these calls will go away. If Rachel calls we will start an investigation because the kids don't have any credit cards yet and shouldn't be called by cardholder services. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I hope the washer finishes before I go to personal training. I'm washing our sheets today and would like to get them into the dryer before I head out -- that way if I get distracted and forget about the sheets until bedtime I only have to make the bed and not sit up waiting for the sheets to dry. The girls got a few impromptu lectures today, including take-the-plastic-bag-of-wet-swimsuits-directly-to-the-washer-when-we-get-home-from-swimming-at-Grandma's-don't-leave-it-on-the-kitchen-table-or-hall-floor-for-days-to-grow-moldy, and the many, varied benefits of actually tracking what homework they have finished and what is left to do. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm sorry, Slash. Is it possible that she's self-medicating to mask symptoms of mental illness? Dang it, babiness! I haven't seen her since I was about 4. I know that my grandparents were horrible to my mother, aunt and uncle, and in return they were all terrible parents. As in horribly abusive. Other than that I don't know anything about her. I don't even know her name as she is one of two and I don't know which is which. My mother always refused to talk about them because she hates her sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Facebook message question: A college friend of mine who lives 800 miles away and I haven't seen or spoken to in years (even on facebook, which I haven't posted on in years), sent me a facebook message last week saying she is now selling this jewelry stuff and is wanting friends to set up parties, etc., etc. I forgot about it until today when I got a follow up facebook message asking if I'd thought about it and telling a little more about the company and jewelry, etc., etc. So, I am thinking these are just form letter messages that went out to all her facebook contacts? She is not really expecting me to set up a party, right? As stupid as it sounds, it is stressing me out. I don't do parties and I rarely wear jewelry.

I told my husband six months ago that I wanted to go. I told my husband 3 weeks ago to remind him. Husband got sent on a business trip and the only thing I've asked to do all year got cancelled. I guess it doesn't really matter since Weapon X has a basketball game in the morning, so he couldn't stay with my in-laws anyway.
