The Swamp

Moreta

I'm a real tree person. One year (2004 to be exact), when I was doing the standard hospital stay after childbirth thing, my then-husband decided he'd take care of the tree since it was into the second week of December. He went and bought a fake one. This was after nine Christmases of real trees. I w...

Preparing for more dangerous enemy attacks, we set about crafting upgraded weapons. The first is an assault rifle, which will be wielded by Moreta. This place has officially become Ferguson.

I'm more of a katana girl but I guess I'll settle.

Ha. We're all scared to pick Moreta. I ain't skeered. Plus, if we're going with horror movie tropes, the man hater isn't likely to last long. She will also die a particularly grisly death and perhaps be eaten by a capybara. I'm really touched to be included. Does this mean I have to read the plot p...

We ran out of turkey Sunday. Too soon. I may have to make another over the weekend.

Just the usual 8 of us for dinner- me, husband, my mom, 5 of my kids. I'm cooking as usual, with some assistance from the crew. Bread for the stuffing is in the oven now. Roll dough is is the fridge next to a turkey entirely too big for us. The youngest is in charge of making the cranberry sauce (a ...

Plus a 100% charter, privatization of schools advocate. Exactly who you'd want in charge of American public education.

DeVos for Education. I keep telling myself it's only 4 years but the slog to recover from the damage done in these four years is going to be horrible.

Nah, this makes more sense: Stop Being Played, America; Watch How Trump’s Hamilton Tweet Distracts From His Fraud Case This tweet bullshit is nothing but a front because Trump plays the media like a fiddle. Perhaps, but #NameAPenceMusical is at least an amusing distraction. My favorites are "J...

just saw Joe's post: that's so weird. aren't there ID cards? Yes, but why would you get one if it serves no purpose for you? If you don't drive, don't have a checking account, and you have to pay $10 for it (that's the fee in Michigan), why would you get one? Plus, many states have limited branch l...

Can we be concrete now? Paul Ryan signalling they will push forward with privatizing Medicare. For any of you with parents who are retired, pause a moment to think on this. Maybe they are well off and could take that on, but I cannot imagine what premiums would look like for the elderly with all th...

I think the protests have more to do with a feeling of helplessness than a sincere attempt to create change. I doubt anyone who joined those marches thought they'd somehow unelect The Donald. They wanted to feel less alone, feel less helpless, and publicly demonstrate that they did not contribute to...

I don't blame you. I'm feeling very hostile towards 50% of white people, too.

Make that 58%. And 63% of white *men* specifically.

We all have white people to thank for this mess.

For some reason, that makes it seem worse.

Men don't have the market cornered on being complete wastes of oxygen.

I know backlash is normal and this kind of thing never went away but it sure feels like this country has take a huge step backward lately. :(

I was a 2. Bump me up to an 8 now. What a nightmare this is.

All this focus on Michigan is making me miserable.

I will have time to vote regardless since I work across a parking lot from my polling place. If there had been any real concern, I could have voted absentee.

Moreta

No early voting in Michigan. I'll likely be voting after 7pm on Election Day, since I'm stuck at work from 7am-7pm.

If I'm lucky, we'll have enough staffing for me to duck out and vote earlier in the day.

I wonder if something similar is happening with lice as with bacteria - they have evolved to get stronger over the past years. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/head-lice-resistant-to-over-the-counter-products-in-25-states_us_55d36ff1e4b0ab468d9e91f5 I've been told the nit removal with the fine t...

I can drive a stick. (Insert obvious joke here). I deliberately steered my daughter away from buying a manual though because I was worried her friends wouldn't be able to drive her home if she was incapable due to being young and stupid. No one I know in her age cohort drives a stick. I learned when...

This is nothing. It's only something to the easily offended types. I don't think most of the women Trump had any hope of wooing in this election subscribe to any part of the Sex in the City ethos. Try and tell evangelicals (particularly women) that this is just "guy talk" and it simply wi...
