Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Happy Birthday Burrell and Calli!
I hope your cat turns up soon tommyrot.
This weekend was more house painting. I did some trim and the garage doors while my FIL brought over his paint sprayer to help. We made some good progress. Doing some trim was nice, it gave us a good idea what it will look like when we're done.
Leif had his last soccer game of the season. He had a good game and scored two of his team's goals and they won 8-2. It was a nice way to end the season, but I sort of felt sorry for the other team. Leif's team ended up 7-1 for the season. Emaryn's team still has two games to go.
Back at work after a two week vacation.
Me too, and I am not happy about it.
Happy birthdays, Burrell and Calli!
Yikes, tommyrot, I hope she shows back up soon.
Back at work after an incredibly stressful two days. My head still hurts and not in a good way.
Because my mom is here and we don't have an extra car anymore, it's a little complicated. I rode my bike to school (which I really should do every day. Really.) schlepping my laptop and everything else. I'm spending the day in the library which is good and bad.
I'm just really exhausted and run down and October STILL isn't over. It used to be that August was a bad month for me. Then September was for years. Now it seems to be October.
I have to go to the hospital for my TB test tomorrow (yay!) and my flu shot (yay?). All good times.
Happy Birthdays Calli and Burrell!
tommy, hope your kitty shows back up soon.
And msbelle, I don't know how you do it, but I admire the hell out of the fact that you haven't wound up in a clock tower somewhere. Much strength and ~ma for getting through the day.
Happy Birthdays.
Quick return of the cat thoughts.
Get through the day hopes for all.
My boss is out all week. I have done mostly nothing thus far, but would like to take advantage of the quiet and get through some stuff. Just not sure that today is the day that much will get done. Kinda want to take a day off brain activity and contact with others. I've been trying to think of errands I could run, but am coming up blank. I think I can work out something for tomorrow that I can do at my desk that will be productive, but I didn't think things through this morning before leaving home.
Dudes. I miss youse guys.
Happy birthday, Burrell!!
Happy birthday, Calli!!
Where you been, Allyson??
I'm confused:
Some of the bills advancing in the House and Senate would exempt religious objectors from mandates to obtain health coverage. More controversial is Christian Science's wish to see its prayer-based healing approach covered like conventional medical treatment. And they want spiritual options to be available to all Americans, not just those who follow their religion.
Leaving aside the issue of whether "spiritual options" even work AND the problematic church/state issues...isn't prayer already free? I'm unclear on how it could be "covered" by health insurance in the first place, unless it's just a case of paying clergy with Medicare funds (in which case, um, no). Charging someone to pray for their health seems pretty scammy to me, but maybe I'm just missing something.
