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.
now I have the hiccups and I do NOT like.
Well, I can't help with the Saturday meeting, sorry, but I heard of a hiccup cure that's weird enough to share. Evidently, if you say "fish!" emphatically and drawn out (FIIIIIIIISSSSHHHHHHH!) it can help realign your diaphragm or whatever's out of whack with hiccups and stop them.
Yay, Scrappy! And what lucky kids to get you
And grrrr Calli
Ooh that's a new one, I will have to try next time I get hiccups!
Timelies all!
So it's been hot here the last few days, and our air conditioner hasn't been working well. We got the ac guy out here today, and found out the compressor's toast. We have to wait for a new one, which will take a few days. At least the temperatures will be a bit lower during that time.....
How much of a troll am I if my racist uncle mentioned he hadn't seen Black Panther yet, and I asked, "Why not? Too many black people in it?"
It ain't trolling when you confront racists about their racism...
Well, I have been luxuriating in the uncomfortableness when confronting my relatives on their racist bullshit.
^^^ Yep!
Awesome weekend in Laura's world. Gathered with flea, Steph, and Hil in Cincinnati last night, which was a complete delight. Then this morning went to Commencement at Wilberforce in Ohio. I knew the school was an HBCU, but I didn't know it was the first! 162nd Commencement. Benjamin Crump was the speaker and he did a very good job. Lots of music with a big choir, and the graduates entered to bongo drums. My graduate was the only one to get a Computer Science degree. He said there were about 10 when he started. Then after we all went to lunch with my cousins that live in the area. These cousins were constant companions when we were kids and I don't see them enough. This is the fiercely liberal wing of my family so there was much political discussion.
So a whole weekend spent with people I love that I don't see often enough. Good stuff.
That sounds awesome Laura!!
My plans to go on a road trip got canceled but I met a friend for brunch and then we worked on planners together cause she liked mine. Bought notebooks and markers and such.
What a good weekend, Laura!
I just picked up the trombone for the first time in weeks, and somehow I have not gotten better without trying???
