Well, I just remembered something that happened a long time ago......Jillibus was talking about her time in China and was saying that her China was all gone now and Ruru said, "Well, you still have your silver". I thought I would fall out of my chair laughing. It was really cute.
1:46 am

Love bug! How is your alto voice this morning?
8:06 am
car.eeyore
I'm sitting here...missing work...waiting for my child to get his ass out of bed
8:07 am
Trifioso
still completely missing. I am only allowed "unvoiced" whispering. this was quite funny - the speech pathologist here got wind of my situation ,and came whizzing down to y room, begging to see to my vocal cords....I showed her, and she recoiled, "OH GROSS!" cracking everyone up - including me
8:07 am
car.eeyore
Always comforting...
8:07 am
Trifioso
and it's another 12 hour work day, so tra la la happy me
8:08 am
Trifioso
tell child he has 20 more minutes then you are leaving. then LEAVE
8:08 am
Trifioso
he can frigging uber
8:08 am
car.eeyore
I'm desperately trying to save our vacation plans. If he misses Matt is canceling the trip
8:09 am
Trifioso
thats not on you. it's on her
8:09 am
car.eeyore
I'm so tired of all of this.
8:09 am
Trifioso
then tell matt he has to stay home and enforce it
8:10 am
car.eeyore
LOLOLOL That's funny. He won't engage
8:10 am
Trifioso
then sorry, but he does not get to enforce rules
8:10 am
Trifioso
huzzah for peach!
8:11 am
car.eeyore
You are not telling me anything I don't already know. But it is completely different when you are in the midst of it, trying to keep some sort of norm
8:11 am

Well done, Peach!

Thanks, Trifioso.
8:11 am

Thanks, car.
8:11 am
Trifioso
i dont know - if she knows you will wait around until she is up and ready, then she can take her damn time. if you leave, and she has to get to school on her own, it changes things
8:12 am
car.eeyore
I left her here on Tuesday. She went yesterday because she had tests. Today, she is dragging her ass.
8:12 am
Trifioso
if she chooses to be late, thats her choice. you have work to do
8:12 am
BzznBea
I'm with trif...leave her.
8:13 am
car.eeyore
I am so behind at work its not even funny. I am scrambling every minute I am there.
8:13 am
Trifioso
she can get herself to school. go to work
8:14 am
Trifioso
yes, because of HER choices. it's not fair to you, and the people you work for. She does not get to control your work schedule. She does not get to control and inconvene everyone at your work. leave
8:15 am
Trifioso
mr hate and I are going a few rounds over tertiare over much the same things, albeit different execution. she does not get to speak to me in the manner she does, and then hold her hand out. nope. he feels I am "unfairly" withholding money. nope.
8:16 am
Trifioso
i dont negotiate with terrorists.
8:16 am
car.eeyore
Wait...I thought he was on board?
8:17 am
Trifioso
he was - when it was from a distance. now she is hitting HIM up for money, after months of silence after THEIR fight. now that he has to deal with her, suddenly he is all over me about letting it go, "being fair" ---puke
8:17 am
car.eeyore
Ass hat
8:18 am
Trifioso
yuuuup. the best he would do is say "your mother expects an apology" not - "you crossed a line and need to apologize" -- two VASTLY different statements
8:19 am
Trifioso
anyway - enough sister drama in the chog.
8:19 am
car.eeyore
How are plans coming for Turkey day over there?
8:19 am
Trifioso
tell N you are leaving in fifteen minutes. Then leave. you don't need this stress.

8:22 am
car.eeyore
Oh hell no!
8:22 am
Trifioso

8:23 am

12:18 pm

First they said 2 hour delay for school, then when the kids were already boarding the buses, they canned it altogether. Parents commuting to work had to turn around and come home. One of those days!
12:19 pm
Trifioso
ugh! a former coworker of mine lived more than an hour from school....often she would be half way to work and they would cancel....
12:19 pm
NatashaW
I don't think I've ever seen snow in DC burbs this early
12:19 pm
Trifioso
well, please be kind and keep it to yourself, no sending it north, ok?
12:20 pm
Trifioso
perhaps hell has frozen over, due to our idiot in chief?
12:21 pm

California would appear to negate that possibility Trif
12:21 pm

those would be the hell fires, i would guess

sure seems like it
12:22 pm
Trifioso
god help us all

No, we need to help ourselves and we just won't do it. We need to make radical change but appear incapable of the moral will.
12:23 pm

We are already burning and drowning to death yet our leaders continue to deny what's right in front of their faces. I am AMAZED at the silence of the defense establishment on this - they know full well what's coming.

I can't blame the DC area schools for mis-calling this. The predictions were for far less snow and mostly turning to rain by mid-morning. That is NOT what we got at all.
12:46 pm
MollyL
People who decided to go to work are regretting it now. Thank God, I am not one of them.

it's moving more slowly than predicted. it's sleeting heavily here, and the wind is picking up.
12:55 pm
72 Temple Owl
i pity anyone who took the train in.
12:56 pm
NatashaW
I'm not blaming anyone! Stuff happens! But a lot of my neighbors are pretty steamed. Their 1st graders were dropped back off at the corner when no one was home to greet them!

It's a great day to be a stay-at-home worker with a kid in college and not have to deal with any of it :-)
1:11 pm
MollyL
My comment was generic about the DC area schools and their decision. Not directed at anyone. The weather forecasters blew this prediction and when that happens, many bad decisions get made.

I'm sitting in the airport awaiting departure on a delayed flight attempting to head to vermont! Sure hoping that snow stuff slows up!
4:15 pm

It’s nasty here, coming down like crazy. It didn’t start here til @ 2, and it is piling up fast
4:16 pm
Eva
mcurl- you live in vt?
4:16 pm
Eva
It's not snowing here yet.
4:17 pm
mcurlschool
no I live in washington state; trying to get to vermont to see my granddaughter in her high school fall drama production.
4:17 pm
bethn
I haven’t heard what is happening up north, are they predicting much? We are exceeding our forecasted amounts
4:18 pm
Eva
I'm about 10 miles nonrtheast of Montpelier and it's overcast but not doing anything yet. I dont think it's supposed to start until middle of the night.
4:18 pm
mcurlschool
my son in law works for national weather service in vermont and he said 6-8 inches overnight there.
4:18 pm

seems to be coming from south=west. we'll see. people always get very excited about these early storms.
4:21 pm

Oh misread questions, sorry. Her play opens tonight and runs through saturday
4:22 pm
Eva
Hope you make it mcurl.
4:22 pm
mcurlschool
Eva--I don't get excited ;-) Once I'm there I don't mind but its the going to and coming back from that is the pits
4:23 pm
mcurlschool
I'm only planning on the Friday and Saturday performances, guess that was a good call. Actually, had I left Wednesday I would not be in this spot. LOL
4:23 pm
Eva
I know. Not an easy place to fly into.
4:25 pm
Eva
They're saying it will end by mid-afternoon tomorrow...of course storms have a mind of their own.
4:25 pm
bethn
Fingers crossed, mcurl. Dh flew out yesterday to Fl, to attend a golf tournament. I didn’t want to go. Poor choice on my part. I hate using JFK. Newark is our local airport, so it is rare for me to use anything else
4:27 pm
Eva
JFK doesn't have as many flights to Vt either.
4:29 pm
Eva
lost power briefly in the storm the day before yesterday. Have plenty of wood, stove going, emergency supplies. Guess it's really winter
