Based on Faith Academy Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 You could straddle the fence or simply be nicely diplomatic and put the h in parentheses, like this: booya(h). Or you could go fakey Texan drawl and say "booy'all" :lol: Well I do have a slight Louisiana accent when I get excited or nervous(from the few years I lived there when I was young). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I'm proud of you. :hurray: :hurray: Did you get to go to your waterfall again? Remember your self-care! I did not waterfall. Vacuuming a hallway, living room and then dining room took me all day. I do it in spurts and then rest. I decided that it was my functional workout yesterday. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I think I'll lie down after lunch and try to catch a little nap. It may not work--naps being kind of difficult to get hold of--but even if I just rest, I ought to feel a little better this afternoon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Noise kept me up. That and the rough day Saturday. But I'm taking Monday off from school and that should help with my mood. Evidently the old cat feels that now is a good time to nap. She's snoring on the bed. She woke me up a time or two snoring last night.I'm sorry Critter! Hope you can take it easy and get some good rest today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Yesterday I finally finished reading the book on Stalin I've been trudging through. It was a tough read, but fascinating. The guy was every bit the monster that Hitler was, he thrived on violence and bloodshed, yet...somehow everyone knows more about Hitler than Stalin. I've been trying to figure out why. I'm starting to formulate some theories, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I am ketchupped. NOBODY MOVE! :P DH fixed the dishwasher. Yay for YouTube, because I want that thing to work a lot longer. The weather is disconcertingly warm. I want to enjoy it, but we only had like a week of Real Winter this year. I'm going to try a serious veggie garden, so a good year for bugs is a bad year for me. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was every bit the monster that Hitler was, he thrived on violence and bloodshed, yet...somehow everyone knows more about Hitler than Stalin. I've been trying to figure out why. I'm starting to formulate some theories, though. Have you read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys? It's a beautifully written and disturbing novel set during WWII in the USSR. Based on that novel, I'd say it was because it simply was not widely known until the collapse of communism there. Because the Soviet regime was so long lasting after the war, no one talked about it (lest you and your family be sent to prison and tortured like Solzhenitsyn) and after the collapse, people just wanted to forget and get on with their lives. I highly recommend the book. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got home a bit before 1, ate lunch, had more coffee, picked up books at the library, and then came home and kicked all the kids outside to play in the nice weather. I am now going to take a nap.

ikslo Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 70 degrees here. We are at the park. It's packed! Random little girl sat next me. (I mean right next to me; at first I thought she had just sat thinking I was her mom or something.) She then talked to me for 5 minutes straight about everything she could think of. So now I know some total stranger's business about their puppy who poops all over their house and her brother Junior has to clean it up. Longest 5 minutes ever. I now know why Slache drives away without her kids. LOL Mine does not talk that much. Like ever. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was every bit the monster that Hitler was, he thrived on violence and bloodshed, yet...somehow everyone knows more about Hitler than Stalin. I've been trying to figure out why. I'm starting to formulate some theories, though. I think we tend to look at history through a very Western prism. World War II, for example, was far more horrifying viewed from the East. I read this recently and found it to be a good synopsis of Russian history. Have you read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys? It's a beautifully written and disturbing novel set during WWII in the USSR. Based on that novel, I'd say it was because it simply was not widely known until the collapse of communism there. Because the Soviet regime was so long lasting after the war, no one talked about it (lest you and your family be sent to prison and tortured like Solzhenitsyn) and after the collapse, people just wanted to forget and get on with their lives.

AMJ Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 We rarely get power outages anymore since they put all the power lines underground in the new neighborhoods. I think I'm slipping from peri- to full-blown. I haven't had AF since October. It's been nice. I wish they could put the lines underground here -- protection from storms, less visual clutter -- but the water table is too high and flooding too likely when it rains heavily. NOTHING that can't stand submersion goes underground here. Congrats on relenting symptoms/issues! I have thoroughly enjoyed the bulk of full-blown. A lot less hassle all around.

Susan in TN Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 I did not sleep and have given up. The FND-O kids are here and someone has to keep an ear wide open for when the boy starts scream-cursing over the video game they are playing. They played nicely with sidewalk chalk for a while. On Friday when we went to a park to read, I was sitting at a metal picnic table and when I got up I got this huge static shock on my hand that made two fingers go numb. This morning while I was playing in church they started getting tingly-numb again and a friend said it sounds like something with this nerve that runs from your elbow to your pinky and that I should be real careful with it. They felt fine after a while but now they are numb again. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to formulate some theories, though. I suspect, for the U.S. at least, that it's because of the aftermath of WWII and what followed (the nature of relations with the USSR). So what was the book? I forget if you mentioned it. I'm curious, and would like to learn a bit more myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised at the strength of the shock you got from the table. Was the metal bare, lacking any coating?
