River ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Liu, she said, typically tells them to retake their seats and to call him John after the first formal greeting each day.
That's even more bonkers. Every day he tells people they can call him John??
And msbelle, I said my prior comment so maybe you don't have to have that as an added to-do item, unless there's something distinctly wrong with the afterschool place.
Holy crap, that's narcissistic!
Oh, I forgot to mention the Very Buffista Book I got for Christmas -- it's called Literally, the Best Language Book Ever. It's about pet peeves.
This is a guy that shows up at more unnecessary photo ops than Chuck Schumer and always tried to have a hand in political things that didn't involve his district or constituency. Liu transparently wants to be mayor. Nice start on that, Mr. Comptroller!
Holy carp, y'all. Old Navy had some super cheap clearance prices, so last night I ordered a bunch of exercise clothes and colorful underpants ($1.49/pair!), and they've shipped already.
I guess the universe really wants me to give yoga a try. And to rock some sassy pants.
His afterschool is ridic unstructured and my guess chaotic. Last year, yes things got bad at afterschool also, but he wasn't on meds then and it was centered on the end of school. This all feels much more generalized. He needs to be in specialized care actually, but there is precious little of that in NYC.
Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank, dies at 100
Gies refused to read the papers, saying even a teenager's privacy was sacred. Later, she said if she had read them she would have had to burn them because they incriminated the "helpers."
That's some pretty powerful stuff.
Sending love your way, msbelle.
I don't even know what to say, msbelle, besides repeating how much I admire you for your love and courage with Mac.
Wow, I'm surprised Miep Gies was still alive.
In other horrible news, a friend of mine just updated me on a bananas situation in someone else's family, that's really not mine to share, but may I say how happy I am for my mental health?
