Gods, I feel so bad for my little sister. She's doing this study thing for a quiz, and will later be quizzed for it. Her teacher must have been completely wasted while making this thing up, because it's nothing but a joke.
I mean, the questions aren't even formed like questions. It's just "grades" for AA, A, B eggs, "Hot Cold Foods" for 41 degrees or colder, "Display cold foods" for ice beds.
Not to mention, the teacher can't even bloody spell. Like, what? Did you copy from the most basic of notes?

Totally locked myself out of my house with no keys, not wearing a shirt (yeah), not having car keys or my phone. Luckily one of my windows was open partially but I had a screen in that I ended up having to bust out then get a lawn chair and climb in through the window. Yeah.
Now I have hidden a spare key so hopefully that won't happen again!

If it makes you feel any better, I think almost every single person I know (and I'm from Indiana) is just as disgusted with it. I totally get that the bill "may not say that"...but in this political climate, even if it DIDN'T say that, passing it was going to create a **** storm. Whoever didn't see that is an absolute idiot. And if it DOES say "what prior federal law(s) already state(s)", then why in the heck did it need to be RESTATED when the political climate is what it is.
I'm a Hoosier (even if I'm living in Mississippi). I'm a christian. I'm proud to be a Hoosier. I'm proud to be a christian. I am NOT proud or pleased about this bill, and I hope it gets shot down as soon as it can.
I'm all for religious freedom. Heck, I don't even mind if you own a business and you pick and choose your clients. It's your business. If you only want to cater to vegetarians that are atheists and have a Golden Retriever, that's your business...but don't expect to be in business very long when the meat eating, religious, cat owning public avoids you/tells their friends to avoid you. If I'm a meat eating, religious, cat owning person, I'll stay the hell away from you and take my business elsewhere if you, as a vegetarian, atheist, Golden Retriever owner can't be a big enough person to get over your views in life to run an actual business in a professional manner without letting your own personal opinions dictate who you accept as a client.
But passing this law NOW, KNOWING it would be taken as a sign that business are allowed to discriminate against the LGTB community due to religious beliefs (even if it "doesn't actually say that")? Pure stupidity. And idiocy. And bigotry. And every other bad word you can think of.
I'm so upset that this is even an issue.

I just got back from DC yesterday and promised her I'd come back this weekend. When she saw me she couldn't recognize me at first but when she did she held me close and kept whispering thank you.
Got the word from dad this morning at about 7 Am. I just lost my maternal grandmother to pancreatic cancer and multiple blood clots. She was 89.

Michael just told me he thinks hes clinically depressed. Which I've suspected for a very long time, but making him see it was impossible. And now that he's come to this realization, there is an entire ocean and 4 months separating us. Ugh. All I want to do is give him a hug and sit with him, and the only thing I can do is send him text on a phone screen. This sucks.
Hannah has Pneumonia! Sunday night, all of a sudden she got very stuffed up and was kind of coughing. Monday morning she had this barky cough so we laid low all day. Tuesday morning she woke up and it was constant coughing. Like, everytime she took a breath, she was coughing. Loud, barky and difficulty breathing. Inhaler wasn't touching it. We started breathing treatments with her nebulizer and those helped a bit more but she remained wheezy and coughing. We were almost out of nebulizer solution so I made a doctor's appointment.
So glad I did!!!! She started complaining that her chest hurt and doc took a listen to her lungs and said it sounded like a chorus of musical instruments everytime she took a breath. He sent us for chest x rays and prescribed Azithromycin, prednisone and more nebulizer meds.
Chest x rays came back and she has pneumonia and a great deal of inflammation in her lungs. She woke up this morning struggling to breathe and she was scared. She was taking short, sharp intakes of air. The nebulizer has helped and while she's still wheezy, she's at least able to take mostly a full breath. She's developing a low grade fever and is notably more subdued today!
We go for a follow up appointment next wednesday and a follow up chest x ray. They said if she's not showing improvement by Friday, to come back in!

I had to take an order of protection out against my roommate, obviously he wasn't as committed to keeping his anger under control as I am. Long story short, I had to call the cops to get my belongings and he told them J-Roc was his dog. I had all of her vet paperwork in my name, her tags have my name on them etc. And the cops still wouldn't let me take her, stating it was a civil matter. I'm losing what little shred of sanity I had left.
Yeah, it has been rough. She just keeps saying her chest hurts. BUT she's on the upswing now. 3rd day of prednisone and antibiotics and a lot of the inflammation seems like it's gone down. She still coughs a lot but the wheezing and clicks and pops when she breathes hasn't been nearly as bad. The bad news is now that she's feeling quite a bit better, she thinks she's ok to run around and play and she's really not. Everytime she starts to get active she ends up having an asthma attack.
I just found out my aunt has cancer. Stage 5 cervical cancer.
Her gyno found an abnormality last year and she made an appointment with the oncologist. But the doctor had to leave the country, and by the time he came back I guess things had been forgotten.
Now it's stage 5.
I'm not close with that side of my family, but she's still my dad's sister. And it sucks.

I'm a fussy eater. I'm sensitive to a lot of spices (particularly ones used in Asian food), have a lot of texture issues, and just plain don't like a lot of things. I am a grown woman who has tried many things and I'm pretty sure I know my body and what it likes better then you do.
I don't have to like chicken breast marinated in raspberry mustard and pickled newts eyes. Wanting a plain chicken breast might be boring to you, but it's what I like, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with me. don't have 'little kid' tastes, and I don't want to be adventurous. Let it go.
