'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Hi, Cindy!
I think in this case the conversation is focused on sacrifice specifically for the greater good -- at least that's where I would put the Khans, and their son. He risked (and lost) his life for the greater good, they lost their son for the greater good. (Greater good being, of course, always open to interpretation, I guess.)
Trump hasn't sacrificed anything for a cause other than his own gain, in my opinion.
I forgot to eat dinner. ugh. it's 9.
fingers crossed for no crazy dreams tonight. have had them for 2 nights in a row and while not upsetting, they were both anxiety filled so I wake up still tired.
Happy anniversary, Sheryl!
So I recently went to the Bay Area Women's summit and saw a number of women in politics speak. Libby Schaaf was one of them . Her job - is 24 hours. and she has ended family vacations due to her job. She has had to explain why there were protesters on her front lawn to her children . There were more examples. She has not had to sacrifice. physical comfort, but she has had to sacrifice lot of mental comfort, personal well-being, and knowledge that her family is not first.
so I suspect there are levels of sacrifice, just maybe not always all or nothing

Did you! That's so cool. I saw Schaaf speak a few weeks ago as well: I thought she was pretty cool. But I wouldn't want that job, I gotta say.
It was really worth going to . I liked her a lot. Valerie Jarrett was really amazing -- someone you would want to invite over, but might forget to answer because of her awesome brain
Sadly, I had to find the bees a different home, Cindy. My city narrow-mindedly forbids them within the munipal boundaries, as it turns out. I miss them.
We had megan walker over for food and games! So we were BuffistaSocializing.
EM is picking Matilda up early tomorrow morning and driving her up to see Emmett at the camp where he's working. So that's exciting - she hasn't seen him since early June.
In much sadder news, Matilda's friend N. (who lives around the corner and we have more playdates with than anybody) was with her Mom at a river today, and they both witnessed the drowning of a 9 year old boy. N.'s mother was one of the parents diving into the river trying to find the boy's body. Somebody else found him and pulled his body out, and they watched as they tried to save the boy with CPR but they couldn't. I can't imagine how traumatizing and strange that will be for N.
How heartbreaking.
