Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Well, my dad is currently in the hospital with some liquid in lungs and he won't answer the phone so it seems useless to be mad at him.
My dad has been hospitalized with this at least two times before. Hence the defibrillator.
AND now I have to find another old person for Grace to interview but it has to be an old person with access to technology so Grace can skype. It's complicated.
I hope they figure that out for your father, Kat.
Kat, I think my mother Skypes. Do you want me to give you her contact info? She's old as balls.
My parents do facetime, not so sure about skype, as well. I also can send info.
Oh dear Kat, much ~ma for your father. I hope he's home and feeling better soon.
And Suzi, I'm sorry that folks weren't there for you. That truly sucks.
I like kale, but it's not my favorite leafy green. It's a little high maintenance, you know?
Speaking of leafy greens, Franny has asked that I start making her salads for her lunch. I consider that a win.
Today I took the kids to Cal State LA for their art class and got some writing done, then came home and worked in the yard pruning roses. And did the grocery shopping. I feel all acomplished.
I shudder to think what constitutes an "old person" to a small child.
I don't think I have any old people for you, Kat. (I am firmly living in denial that anyone would consider ME old.)
Plei, thanks! If we can't connect with my mom tomorrow we may email your mom.
We are all old to 6 year olds.
Also Kiss, the band, is now 40 years old. I am old.
One of my former students was complaining on facebook about how old she was getting after running into one of the kids she used to babysit as an adult.
Which makes me...ancient, I guess.
I told you guys about Dylan asking how long ago Judah the Maccabee lived and when I said thousands of years ago, he asked "So, 1970-what?" right? Like, that's literally as far back in time as he can comprehend. We are all ancient.
That said, my grandmother is 94 and kind of knows how to Skype if Grace doesn't mind seeing just the top of her head. I don't know how available she might be on short notice, though.
