I think it's interesting to figure out how someone I like can be so wrong on whatever issues (from my perspective, obviously) but haven't had the experience with someone I was really close to, I don't think. That could be really hard to deal with.
Yeah, me neither. There is the politically insane (i.e. in an actual cult) branch of my family, but I'm not close with them. Everyone in my immediate family (including in-laws) is more or less on the same page.
Jesse, it won't let me submit a photo album to Good Stuff. I want to add this.
Ha ha ha! I fucking love Pomeranians.
Vibing hard for ita today. I hope something meaningful comes out of her meeting.
My immediate family is the Left Wing Pinko Commie branch of an otherwise Right Wing extended family, so we're very used to that divide. Though we don't argue about it, my grandmother's philosophy was always everybody needs to leave their political talk at the door and get along with family.
There are certain subjects that Are Not Discussed between Hubby and me. He has bad cases of "I'm right, dammit!" and it's not worth it to me to try and dig down and find his reasoning (life's too short and he's been dead too often). Most political things fall in there. He's always very surprised when he hits the wall of my own "These are my beliefs and I'm not changing them for you." Thankfully we've learned how to use our various hard walls to circumvent other people whom we don't like. "Oh, I couldn't, my wife/husband would never go along, and they're more important to me than X."
today is one mad dash to get every last thing done as big boss will not be in the office again until after the new year. He was out all last week also.

I am writing grant reviews. Working is hard, people, and I am not even being paid for this!
Well, now that it's light out, we can see where some of the roof tiles came off.
