Trump at the UN

A great quote from a great speech.

Handy-Man

Tonight I disassembled our dishwasher, replaced the hoses and hose assembly, and put it back together - correctly. This, despite the peanut gallery saying "you'll break it" and "you'll wind up calling Eric." 

I did, in fact, call Eric, but only to borrow some tools. All these haters that mooch off me can go jump in the lake.

Our New Car!

We bought a new (to us) car today, a Ford Flex. It's our eighth Ford in the last 22 years (three of which we still own at this writing. )

Disaster!

Disaster. GusGus knocked something into our 40 gallon fishtank, fouling the water and leading to multiple casualties. Lisa, Smiley, Junie and I are waging an all out effort to capture the survivors, empty the tank, clean it all, and hopefully avoid an extinction event. Why am I on FB then? Cuz my hip started to give way, so I was sent to the bench for a minute. I'll be back in action in a minute

So far the remaining fish are alive and presumably well. Lu and Smiley cut the lawn. Junie and I visited my family and dropped off a turtle necklace the girls bought my Mom at Bay View Bash. YaYa wrote a story for a contest, good voice and setting, initially a smidge weak on plot, but easily corrected. Watched a Law and Order: Criminal Intent marathon. So, not an unproductive day.

A Verdict in the Slenderman Case

A just verdict.  I applaud the jury for ignoring the hysterical lynching mentality of our society.

An Update

See, b**ching on FB does some karmic good, even if it makes you look like a whiny little girl. My doctor rescheduled a surgery to make an appointment for me this afternoon (who are we kidding - the patient probably lost their insurance). Meanwhile the hip has eased up 20% on its own.

How Dare He?!

Speculating that a terrorist bombing was done by terrorists. How dare Trump?!  Lol

"He's stereotyping terrorists now!! He's mean! What a fascist! #ImWithHer #notmyprez"

Gawd,  the media is vile.

I'm Not Happy with my Dr

My hip doctor (*not his medical title) wants to see me as the hip has taken over my life this week,  but conveniently,  he only has appointments on Tuesday and Thursday during my class times.  Time for a new Doctor I think.

I've already gotten the name and number of a different doctor, btw. My current Doctor's great advice, as I'm on day three of not being able to bend or twist, or walk without looking like I just had a giant enema - go to the ER and ask for some stronger pain meds and we'll talk when I see you Tuesday, when you have to skip a class to see me. Well, by Tuesday this will either work itself out or I'll spend my savings on smack and not care. Either/or. So tomorrow I call for a new doctor.

A Wish

A pic from the last time I had a baby bump (Junie!).  I always had good prenatal care and all my children were delivered safely.... Hopefully someday we can say this about every woman who brings new life into the world. - Lisa

FML

I get back from a day of classes, have the house to myself, and look forward to an hour of peace. Cue 28 incoming texts and two calls (I counted) #FML

Let 'Em Cry

I'm pleased as punch that a local community post complaining about the acoustics at the Avalon Theater has unleashed a torrent of complaints. Let 'em squirm.
