Thanks, y'all. Everyone else's house is fine and everything, and my uncle and aunt are staying at my grandmother's for the time being. So that's all good.
I was just saying, the fire is bad enough, at least they don't have to deal with bureaucratic bullshit right now, you know?
Oh Jesse, I'm so glad to hear that. I've been worried about your uncle and his family. It's still an awful situation, but I'm so glad that they are getting the help they need.
And my mom is going through old pictures to make copies and send them, which is a great idea, I thought -- except a lot of the old pictures have my uncle's previous wives in them! Oops.
sarameg, I'm arranging the bed in Noah's room for you. The problem is that you will be stuck in there with him.
Whee! If it ends up too much, we'll figure something out.
It seems the house my aunt owns in Rainbow (? I'd forgotten it was even near SD) made it, though a trailer that was on another piece of property (they rented the land out) didn't. But! The family in the trailer is able to stay in the house for now. It's cramped (another family lives there with my cousin & they are all friends) but doable until things get sorted out.
I'm making Buckeyes (yes, Steph! BUCKEYES!) and the recipe calls for 4 cups of confectioners sugar. JESUS A WHOLE POUND!!!
Hey, does this mean I get the darkoclock feeding? Hee. 3 more weeks!
Wow.
But, they are candy, right?
ION, story about those real vampire slayers.
My SIL always makes buckeyes. And my mother curses her (mom+peanut butter+ chocolate=unstoppable.) SIL's from Ohio, too.
Anyone else having trouble getting Scrabulous to work tonight?
I had a moment of terror that DST ended tonight and I didn't know it. Whew.
I have nothing interesting to say. I pretty much wasted the weekend, except for finally buying a new computer.
