I sat through this 2 hour meeting, mostly in stony silence. Since we’re mostly in agreement, my thoughts are stated by others and I’m fine with it. I cracked on non-profit joke early on and it was well received by all the business people on the committee and caused minor confusion to the government and non-profit people.
Near the end of the meeting a question of advertising arose and it caused quite a bit of discussion. Nothing was being settled by this talk, so I raised my hand and was recognized by the chair. I made a 2 sentence statement and all was settled. Everyone was in agreement after I made the obvious point. I think they just like to hear themselves talk sometimes.
I hate long meetings. 1 hour is more than enough.
Erin
Erin left yesterday with Belle. I see a definite change in her when they (the other family) is in her presence. She stops listening and gets all bossy with everyone. It’s a complete 180° flip of personality . I feel this is not a good thing.
Weather
We had a cold and very windy day yesterday. Wind chills were very noticeable. It tried its damnedest to snow but failed miserably. The weatherliar chick is predicting rain for tomorrow and Sunday.
Why is the rest of this country having violent storms and the SW states are dryer than dust? I would love seeing a violent thunderstorm pass through here. 5 feet of snow? Bring it on!
Marylou
She’s on an increased dose of her mood altering medicine. I sorta feel sorry for her now, she’s very manageable, but maintains a confused look about her. She doesn’t read now and is almost silent. If she doesn’t adapt soon, I may ask Nina to lower that dosage a little at a time to give her some quality of life again.
Other Shit
I’m tired of hearing about the latest Alb. P.D. shooting. I see the cops getting thrown under the bus with this case too. It happened to another cop just recently. Once again, social media and mob action is directing public officials actions.
Nina and I are doing a night out tonight. Dinner and maybe other stuff before we head home. She needs a break.
Why don’t our soldiers carry sidearms at all times? They’re trained better than any other citizen and yet they’re powerless when the shit hits the fan on base. Other country’s soldiers are always armed, why not ours? Policy about guns in this country is asinine! We provide guns to uneducated, drug using rebels all over the world, but honest, educated, and trained citizens in this country have to worry about keeping our guns.
