JoJosMom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I like Holland. Hollis sound pretentious to me. *heeheehee* Hollis is the name of a kid in DD's Latin class. She's been with these kids for almost 2 years now and I just recently realized that Hollis is not a girl but a boy whose voice has clearly not yet changed. So, for me, Hollis is like "a boy named Sue." Oh, and yes, I really do have the mind of a 12-year-old! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I just got a private message (not here but on the neighborhood site) from the councilwoman I don't like, inviting me to coffee. I can't tell if it is an actual personal invitation or if she sent it out generically to people in the area. I'm assuming that it is somewhat personal? She referenced something I said, though she twisted it totally out of context, so it has been personalized to some degree. So now what? I don't like her. But it might be for the common good if I did talk to her. But that takes a certain amount of emotional energy. This is the woman who told me that I couldn't homeschool without help from the school district (which she probably doesn't remember but I do!) so I don't anticipate any conversation will be straightforward with a lot of common ground.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Boadicea Harris. Actually I really like a name like this, the more I think about it. The first name is memorable even if it is hard to spell. But the last name is easy to spell and thus easy to find on the bookstore's alphabetized shelf. Plus, Boadicea is bodacious. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Good Morning! I was a good girl and took my arthritis medicine last night. I didn't get a headache and I slept! :hurray: I have just a little bit of a headache this morning, but it's not too bad. I have a long list of things that I want to get done while I am benefiting from Prednisone Energy. Also, the spaghetti sauce did not come out of dd6's clothes last night, so I am trying some tricks this morning. It's one of her favorite outfits*, so I really want to try to get it clean for her. *outfit = nightgown, because every day is pajama day Oxyclean 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Dd18 fainted in her job shadowing thing today. Twice. The nurse was trying to find a vein for an IV and dd just quietly fell down behind her. Apparently the elderly patient couldn't speak and the nurse couldn't figure out why he kept pointing. :D They had her sit down in the nurses station and then she found herself slumped down on the desk with a couple nurses trying to revive her. They got her some juice and water and after a while she felt better and continued the rounds with the RN. She said all the nurses were very nice and told her that they all fainted at some point. A guy at dh's work said his brother grew up fainting whenever he saw blood, and he is now a brain surgeon. So dd18 was not too discouraged. :) There was an Aldi near the hospital so I got my grocery shopping done. My intended Irish dinner has turned into a German dinner of baked sauerkraut and brats. Though I'll make some Irish soda bread from a mix I got at Aldi. ☘ At least I'm not wearing orange. We are having a houseguest for about 10 days starting on Sunday. We met him once (dh's niece's "he's not my boyfriend") and invited him to stay here while he does some work in town. He's a nice guy. I am trying not to hyperventilate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Waterfalls. I wish. Around here, though, waterfalls seldom persist past May or June. It's uncommon to have decent water flow in the rivers after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Do ya'll remember last summer that DH and his brothers finally put their collective feet down and made their mom move out of the 'hood? Well, there was a fatal stabbing next door to her old house. The mom allowed an adult child back into the house, who then moved in some more people and, voila!, gang-infested house. Thank goodness Yia-Yia is now safely across town. (But middle brother-in-law is back doing more packing [Yia-Yia so far has refused to sell and continues to store stuff there] even though she has a cash buyer interested. :glare: ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
