*points and laughs*
LOL
Well, at least it can be hung on the wall, so it’ll be out of the way. And I don’t know about you, but prayers in the kitchen are always needed for ME!
I assume no luck on the chairs?
No, no chairs yet. But I did save some money, the plate was only $3. Don’t think I can get chairs for that much.
So many traitors!
And Trump had to deal with them, knowing full well what they were doing. And he still stayed optimistic. What a leader!
Hmmm....
Ok, so these are in the 140,000 absentee ballots that the judge ordered unsealed. The article says ‘up to 30,000 ballots are fake. They’re not attached to anybody’. There’s also mention of them not being folded and using a different paper than the other ballots.
What I’d like to know is, how do they know they’re ‘not attached to anybody’? What does that mean? I have an idea of what that means but that doesn’t mean I’m making the correct assumption. LOL
The order unsealing the ballots and allowing the inspection scheduled another hearing before the judge on May 28 (this Friday). Maybe we’ll get more details then.
My father's viewing is 3-6 today. Burial tomorrow. My brother has handled all the arrangements. I did my mom’s years ago.
So many mixed feelings. I LOVE my father , but I don’t have to like him. I loved my mom AND liked her. So many reasons why.
Trying to let go.
“What I’d like to know is, how do they know they’re ‘not attached to anybody’? What does that mean?”
One reason would be that there are more ballots than there are envelopes. The envelopes are actually affidavits, and are signed and show a proper physical address. If 25,000 legitimate (signed with proper physical address) envelope affidavit envelopes exist, and 30,000 ballots exist, then 5,000 ballots aren’t attached to anybody. They were (secretly) inserted into batches for counting, but a voter didn’t fill them out or return them.
There may be other things, too, but this is what I recall from running elections years ago.
Thanks! Was busy cooking and been offline.
Ok, that would make sense. I’ve never voted by mail in any capacity so I’m not too familiar with the process.
Hopefully we’ll find out more details on Friday.
I understand what you mean with the mixed feelings. I went through the same thing with my mom.
I saw it early this morning but got busy and forgot to post it.
Just saw this report from penguinsix (DC man about town). Doesn’t appear to be involving Biden or any Congress critters:
UPDATE: Medevac to GW hospital. Injury is “serious”. Motorcycle vs van. — Reports coming in. A US Capitol police motorcycle officer may have been injured in an accident on the House side. Park Police Eagle has landed for possible Medevac.
Prayers up for you, Lysie. I understand what you are saying. May God grant you peace and patience during this time.
There’s quite a few of us that way, it seems. I didn’t have a good relationship with either parent. Dad pretty much ignored me; Mom was emotionally abusive. Didn’t have much contact with Dad after my parents split when I was 8; I was with Mom until she died when I was 36.
Best I recall when Mom passed, there were feelings of relief that I didn’t have to deal with the relationship any more; guilt because I felt relief, and regret that I hadn’t been able to figure out a way to make the relationship better through the years. No feelings of ‘I miss you being in my life!’ that most people mention when speaking of their parent’s passing.
On top of that, you’re now an orphan. An adult orphan, yes, but still the oldest in the direct line from your ancestors to you. It’s an adjustment even for an adult.
If I remember correctly, your dad was in hospice? I know each hospice is different, but my mom was in hospice too. They offered grief counseling service for 1 year after the patient passed. My mother had babysat a girl that we knew from the time she was 2 years old and graduated high scool soon after Mom died. I asked hospice if she could participate in grief counseling because of the relationship even though she wasn’t a relative. They told me *anybody* impacted by the hospice patient’s death was welcome. Maybe reach out to hospice if you feel the need?
((hugs))
“So many mixed feelings. I LOVE my father , but I don’t have to like him.”
I think you’re not alone in those feelings. I technically loved my father, but did not like him. He died in 2008 and I still haven’t cried. Abusive to us and to Mom. A minister, so we had to hide what went on at home.
If you’re like me, you’ll be fine. Maybe you’ll feel free.
jenny, you are probably already aware of this.
At Least 8 Dead After Shooting at California Transit Rail Yard: Officials

Oh Dolly! So sorry to hear this. Prayers for a fast healing.
No, Just from you. I don’t watch TV .
I didn’t like my mom from my earliest memories at three years old. I hated her when I was younger, but finally found peace with myself by concluding she had mental problems. Why else would she be so cruel? She was emotionally and physically abusive to me and my sister.
The only reason I visited and helped my parents out when they got older was because if I wasn’t nice to my mom she wouldn’t let my dad see me.
My dad passed April 6, 2006 and mom passed may 17, 2006. The night she passed, I had gone to sleep, then woke up around 1AM, feeling my mom was passing. I got in my car,drove 1 1/2 hours on a tiny dark mountain pass to her rest home. She was fading. Couldn’t speak, but I just told her “mom, it’s ok, you are going to be with your mom and dad and brothers”. She responded and I held her hand a bit. Not long later she drew her last breath. That was the only time I ever had a moment like that with her. I’m glad I was there as she always said she didn’t want to die alone.
After that, I can’t say I felt any grief over her or anything, and I never felt guilty because I didn’t do anything wrong.
