and oh, by the way. NEITHER Of my parents grew up speaking either Ukrainian or Lithuanian in their homes. my parents did not speak their parents language EVER. they assimilated.

You mean you never sang the national anthem in Lithuanian?

Just kidding.

After a long day at work and a couple of hours at the phone banks, then I'll be shopping.

i had been meaning to ask you, who are you supporting in OH. My SIL doesn't know which to vote for, she said mud is being slung against both. i was thinking Blackwell was the correct choice?

i am going to be telling grandma stories all day today in honor of MY IMMIGRANTS. stories of LEGAL IMMIGRATION. My Lithuanian gram never had any education, in EITHER country. she was totally illiterate. but she passed her citizenship test. AND, KDKA always had some sort of contests going on, i don't even know how they got her name to make the call, but she was called by KDKA for an on air contest and she answered the questions correctly and if IIRC it had something to do with the Supreme Court or the Constitution and the only reason she knew the answer was bc of studying for her citizenship test those many years before and she won. The prize was like a gazillion S&H green stamps, which she redeemed for like FURNITURE that is how much she won. she got at least 2 chairs for her living room and a rocking chair to boot. i was in HS at the time.
