And they may have seen something you responded to on one of your friend's posts, if they are also friends with that person.

Or if the friend's post was a public post. (Occasionally my brother will follow me to someone's post and it freaks me out momentarily because I know he's not friends with whoever made the original post...but then I realize it was a public post and he saw my comment in the ticker on the right.)

I also missed seeing Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, because I had a training session for learning how to teach online classes. (Where I learned maybe 15 minutes worth of material, even though it lasted three hours. It looks like there's more actual learning on the agenda for tomorrow, though -- this is a three-day thing.)

Is TCG supporting you?

Oh, yes. He is horrified.

Yeah, I need to start checking whether people's posts are public.

I thought I could just let this go today, but apparently nsm.

And I'd be willing to bet money that we'll hear from them again right around the time of my birthday about how terrible my behavior was or something like that.

Yeah, I need to start checking whether people's posts are public.

Yes, I do this. Especially when it is politics related.

I'm sorry you are going through this, sj. Family should support family, not exploit differences.

In mememe news, I'm at work sitting between two people wearing two different, overwhelming scents.

This time, it really IS my allergies.

I'm glad TCG is in your corner. Please try and cut yourself a bit of slack. Dealing with in-laws is not always easy.

Thanks, Maria. My anxiety and depression were already a little worse this week. So, I'm probably overreacting to everything. Hopefully a long birthday weekend at the beach will help, but for today it's looking s of stress eating and napping when ltc naps.

I'm so sorry, sj. It isn't overreacting when you are being abused for being sane. I actually came up with a great response for the next family gathering that will involve DH's insane cousins. First Trump and/or Guns challenge that gets thrown out to try and get me going.

"I respect your parents too much to get involved in political arguments at a family gathering. How is kid enjoying summer camp?"

I am just prepping myself in advance with diversion comments. They will not bait me.

Sj's inlaws: Could be worse. Could be me. I ought to hire myself out as Bad cop for situations like that, with the tat and the socialism...they'd be begging you to come back.
