...again I thank you...I build it how I like it and it makes me happy...
I watched a lifetime movie about two beautiful teenagers pregnant with the same boy. Wicked beach ball belly fight. Everyone still had make up on and they both went into labor.
yep.
yep.
The esteemed grandbaby is adorable!
Went to church, then lunch. Also scoured Goodwill for books to no avail, nothing caught my fancy. Tried to watch Fear of the Walking Dead marathon thinking I might have missed something the would help me like this....nope!! Oh well, the end of October is coming up soon for the original Walking Dead. I'll wait.....
Saturday was better than usual. A friend who coordinated a Sensory Friendly viewing of The Secret Life of Pets for families of developmentally disabled children invited me, and the movie was very entertaining and much better than I expected! We went out afterwards for a plate of nachos and I told her I felt better now than under the last two medications I was prescribed, but I despaired of ever finding the right one if there is one. I can't go on as I have for the last six years and particularly the last two have been absolutely intolerable and I told her this. She said there is a clinic to which she has taken her son which specializes in nothing else and if I can get a referral she will take me! So Monday (which also happens to be Ray Bradbury's birthday) I will call for a referral! Fingers crossed and prayers please!
Oh my goodness. What an absolute cutie.

Today we took our grandson home. Each of the older 3 gets one week visit alone. Well...away from their siblings anyway. The two boys, we ended up babysitting their two cousins while they were here. Anyway, last week was the third kid's week, so now....peace and quiet for ME. And some sewing time.
I know a lot of people that would prefer the lower volume of the Sensory Friendly movies. Do they also do anything with regard to odours? Some movie food has such a strong smell. One of my kids was bothered by loud noises, strong smells, peanut butter, and certain colours. (Never heard of anyone who would literally vomit from a colour.) Anyway, movie theatres were not a place we went to when he was young.
Hope you are able to get the referral and get in soon.
They served the regular movie foods and are planning more such events in the future.
Holding you to positives. May this be your solution.
I'm not trying to derail this thread, and I hope Hoss doesn't mind my quoting him from the Confederate Flag thread from a while back. Scott and Doc, you guys know I think the world of both of you...but that flag is such a source of pain for so many people. You know I feel strongly about racism and bigotry, and, like it or not, that's what the flag stands for. Hoss writes it so much more eloquently than I ever could. I hope you'll (re)read his posts, and really try to understand how African Americans feel when they see the flag brandished all over the south.
And Scott, you're right, people turned it into a sign of racism. When did that happen? The minute the first one was stitched together. I understand that neither of you are bigoted or racist, and as much as I am one to go against what most people think, I think that displaying the Confederate flag just to say, "I'm going to display it because a lot of people think I shouldn't, and I can do whatever I want," is hurtful to a great deal of people.
I'm just trying to understand you guys.
I can only speak for myself; as a Southerner I'm well acquainted with the strong feelings about this issue. I have black friends that are uncomfortable with it and detest it and other black friends who don't have a problem with it. There are some African Americans that even share in its legacy, regardless of how they interpret that legacy. I'm not a staunch defender of the flag so much as I am a defender of equal rights and exercising freedoms. Some will always see it as a symbol of hate and racism but I honestly don't believe that. There are many things in this world that offend me but I have accepted this is part of life. What offends one may not offend another. As I said, my stance leans more on the side of freedom.
As you said, I won't go into the details, exceptions, and other intricacies here since this is not the best place but I think each person must resist the ubiquitous, insidious presence of the Thought Police.

Well the drive back from Brunswick sucked a**!!
Stop and go traffic all the way from the 2nd set of ME tolls all the way to the MA border. What should have taken 2 - 2.5 hours took almost 4

Carolina? Is that school in Chapel Hill?
Yes...... My beloved Tar Heels.
Windshiel wipers are good.But not for an anniversary present! Get her something she likes, or has mentioned she wants. You goof!
So far extracting a sleeping teen from his dream proves easier said than done. Coffee works. He is headed off to school. You'd think he'd be able to use that alarm clock function on the IPhone. Now I'm awake! Good morning all, have a pleasant day!
