Dana, sorry your DH didn't get the job. May something better be on the way!
ita, that's so awful! It gives me chills just to think about it.
And I'm sure I forgot something.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I flew a plane today

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Thanks! Yeah, it was kind of terrifying. It was sort of like the first time I drove a car, when I was going maybe 30 miles per hour and totally convinced that just flinching the wrong way would lead to the car accelerating, swerving off a bridge, and landing upside down in a fiery wreck. But it didn't, and the plane stayed upright, mostly, and in the air, too. So it was all good. And next week I get to do it again, only longer.

I'm one of the few people who can be certain not to have ancestors in the Revolutionary war. Because both grandparents on my fathers side were immigrants, and all great grand-parents on my Mother's side were immigrants - in all cases from Russia or Mittel Europea, or in one case Germany. So very unlikely I had any ancestors who fought in the civil war let alone the revolutionary war.

When Riggins looked out over that land....oof. I've driven through that part of Texas (when my brother was at Ft. Hood and my aunt up near Elgin) and yeah, it's that gorgeous. I really loved it.
Just spent the last hour or so "supervising" my neighbor working on her porch with her offagainonagain boyfriend. Learned porch stuff, for sure. Loving this neighborhood? A LOT. I know where to go for tools.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I know that I had no ancestors who fought in the Civil or Revolutionary wars. The earliest that any of my ancestors were in the US was 1889. My first American-born ancestor was born in 1892.
