An Opinion
Can I just say again how much I don’t like video games? Heard of yet another person trying to get help/attention for themselves and their kids and failing because of the games draw. I’ve never had to compete against a toy and I’m so thankful for that! Dan ❤️ Young ladies, find a man with hobbies, one who likes to go outside, one who’d thumbs aren’t all locked up. Men with real friends not virtual friends. So pathetic fr. - Lisa
On Stores Now Gone
So many good memories. Gimbal’s basement with my grandma, Arthur treachers with my dad, chi-chi’s with Boston store co-workers. Blockbuster with Dan as young parents. Ah, good times! - Lisa

Popeye's
Our family finally tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich. We wouldn’t fight anyone over it but 3 out of 4 of us that tried it think it WAS worth the hype. - Lisa

The Covid Lockdown Continues
Happy Day 46 - Lisa 
From our friend Sybil in Scotland: Keep safe. We have still not been told to wear masks...There might be mention next Thursday when we have a review of the law to keep us in lockdown. There’s talk of a slight change we might be asked to wear masks on public transport or anywhere there might be many people around...Not many people want to wear them we think another three weeks in partial isolation would do no harm...

Wow! Look at these flowers!
Ignore the messy table. Got a giant vase for nothing so Dan had to buy three bouquets to fill it❤️ Not sure we saved money with the free vase😂 But wow! - Lisa

The Girls Learn to Drive Stick Shift
So I taught both the oldest girls how to drive stick today. I may have aged 10 years, but no one cried! That goes down as a WIN!
We may or may not have agitated a few other drivers and gotten beeped at a few times. Honestly It’s always shocking how impatient some drivers are. How did they know we weren’t having mechanical issues?
Love you YaYa and LuLu, I promise driving stick IS fun, lol. So proud of you guys! 🚙🥰 - Lisa
I’m waiting for that fun to kick in🤣💕 - LuLu
Huckleberry!!!
We’ve had our pup Huck for 2 and a half months. He’s house trained for the most part with accidents at this point being our fault. Favorite naughty pastimes are digging up our yard and chasing Gus. Very treat motivated and devours rawhide bones, prefers them over our shoes ❤️. Still unsure how some get a dog to hold it an 8 hour work day (maybe comes with age?) He walks on a leach ok (haven’t stressed too many manners here), does stairs good. Knows sit, give paw, fetch and lay down (kinda) Needs work on drop the ball. He’ll bring it back but reluctant to give it to you, lol. Any tips from well trained dog owners? Especially to curb the digging? - Lisa
YaYa Buys Her First Car
It's a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle - stick shift - and she's justifiably proud of it!
Congrats YaYa!

The Punishment Doesn't Fit the Crime
As a punishment for institutionally approved cheating that altered the course of two seasons, this is a f'ing joke.

It's Not a Good Day
It is gut-wrenching to realize that your mere presence makes just about any situation *that* much worse for those around you.

"Open" Wisconsin
If you want WI "open" again because you fear the potentially disastrous economic outcome that could follow in the wake of continuing the Safer at Home order, I hear you. You have valid points that need to be discussed.
If you want WI "open" again because you are going stir crazy, or want a haircut, I'm sorry, sit down.
If you want WI "open" again because the virus is "fake" and this is all a conspiracy involving not only the media, but business, government, churches, and the medical community, there's not much anyone can say to help you.
If you want WI "open" again because you think this is some despotic attempt to rob you of your liberties, I ask you to explain where and when *in WI * these breaches have taken place, and caution you that "friend of a friend" anecdotes and Reddit level Constitutional law will be treated with the respect it deserves.
If you want WI "open" again because a Democrat called for the extension, you are embarrassing yourself and the Republican party I love.
If you want WI "open" again for any reason and talk about grabbing your guns and "calling the militia," I point to the calendar and mention your rant sounds familiar - almost like those who once darkened April days in Waco and Oklahoma City.
If you want WI "open" again, and chose to stand in groups of like minded, Confederate flag waving people, disregarding not only distancing but any safety precaution - I do not wish the virus on you, nor would I seek to deny you medical help if afflicted. But should the impact of this virus spread bc of what you knowingly did, I hope you have conscience enough to regret your little protest.

In the wake of firm Democratic victories in last weeks election, I'm interested to see which of my liberal FB warriors is still pursuing charges of mail tampering, undelivered ballots, voter suppression, "lost ballots," and the like - of which there are ample confirmed cases, inc in heavily GOP counties. Oh, forgive and forget you say, as your ire was mere partisan flummery and not in any way connected to a search for truth? Color me shocked. LOL
