Thanks. That is a good suggestion. If I put in a deadline, then I can contact my 2nd choice when it is past. And if work on phrasing it tactfully the deadline won't make her more likely to say "no".

One person on my panel canceled because she is in the hospital. After I replaced her, a second person on the panel canceled because his father has been diagnosed with cancer, and he has to go in and translate between his father (who speaks no English) and the doctor (who speaks no Arabic). I'm starting to wonder if being on my panel is bad luck. At any rate I hope both the first person, and the 2nd person's father end up being OK

My recycling is out at the curb. Three cans, one bottle.
Also, I just found some mouse droppings inside my silverware drawer. I have no idea how they got there, since I haven't seen any anywhere else around there, but now I'm all "ick ick ick" and running all my silverware through the dishwasher.

I called my father's GF to wish her happy birthday. She put dad on the line. I said I didn't want to talk politics. He started talking politics. After him saying in several different ways the info I was saying is flat wrong, and he wasn't going to listen to it because he hates Obama, and then continued to spew the misinformation that Fox/Romney/Koch/Rove spew. So, I hung up on him in mid sentence. I said 3 or 4 times, I don't want to talk politics if we can not agree on the facts. That there is no point in it. And he kept going. I feel bad, like I am being disrespectful of my elders and all. But. Fuck that. I had a hard day. I'm not fighting on the phone. Life is too short, and not worth the blood pressure. ugg. How am I a product of this family?!?!

I should go to bed. TCG went to bed hours ago, but I'm not sure if I'm tired enough to sleep. I don't want to toss and turn and keep him up when he's already not feeling well.

I'm confused. The county assessor has sent me 4 pieces of mail. All dated within a few days of each other. One is a bill for the next 12 months. One is a check saying you paid too much now that the house sold for a lower amount, and two that say the assessment of the property has been reduced to the purchase price. But the bill is still based on the higher assessment. Ugg. Must call and hash it all out.

omnis,
if it isn't too far away, this sounds like something you need to handle in person.
