i think i have asked about this before, but
i wish we had a duzy button. nominated posts could then be collected automatically into a duzy group.
seems like an easy little project for elad. combine the rec button w the alert button, and there you are.
whatcha think?
xoxoxoxo
to all.
can someone please do me a favor and
crash my ebay account?
after i had a shitty xmas, got next to zero presents, and looked back on my shitty year i decided i owed myself some fun.
i lost a storeroom this year, and made someone a ton of money.
i had huge boxes of fisher price little people that i had collected over the course of 4 kids. including a big bunch from my nieces, who are a decade plus older than my kids.
so, i bought a few little people. and a few more. and i got hooooooked.
i have a pretty huge collection now. my living room has turned into the little people city.
but i fear i cant stop.
so, could someone crash my account. i'll give you my password. just save me.
ada question- my daughter has epilepsy
and is still getting her meds adjusted. she is on ssi, but it is not much.
she has had a job for 6 months, in a bakery. she loves her job. they love her.
the management has been aware of her condition, but apparently word had not made it to the owner.
the other day, when she was changing med doses, she asked a coworker to keep an eye on her, as it made the chances of a seizure greater.
well, with this word made it to the top.
she received an email last night telling her that she could not work until she got clearance from her doctor.
if she cannot clear this up today, she will likely end up missing 4 days of work.
she cant afford that.
so, question is- is this legit?
i am afraid that even if she gets it straightened out, she will end up losing the job. up to this point they love her. but she has had to leave work early a couple times due to related issues, tho not connected to seizures.
she asked for an exemption from the attendance policies. in her six months she has missed a couple days to a bad cold, but has gone home early twice and been late once.
she has gotten glowing reviews, and has developed a regular clientele. she gets mentioned by name in online reviews repeatedly. and she just asked for a raise, and they were very receptive.
i feel so bad for her. she really WANTS to work.
worst of all, she got the email during a break in a drawing class that she and i are taking together. she was so excited about the class, and i am pissed that this has overlapped onto that.
advice?
a little story from yesterday

dont think the jackie robinson flap has anything to do w racism?
read the comments on this article, if you have a strong enough stomach.
this is the world we live in, peeps.
me? having kids, kids who played baseball, i know that parents try to get their kids on teams that are a good fit. i dont think for a minute that those parents and kids thought about anything but playing on a team that would be good for those kids. i have no idea what the teams they were supposed to play on were like, but in the world shown in these comments, i would be picky about who my kids played for if i were their parent. lines on a map v a good coach and a good team? yeah, aunt millie is on the right side of the line, we can use her address, hell yeah. i'm there. bfd about your map. bfd about your rules. i am a black mom of a black kid, and i can get them on jrw? i do whatever it takes. you think there werent white kids and parents in that district that did what they had to NOT play on the black kids team?
welcome to chicago.
fuck the maps. i would want my kid on that team. i would use aunt millie's address in a heart beat.
if you think there is something wrong with that, read the comments, and wake up to the world.

and before anyone gets pissed at me for driveby posting, i am on my way to bed, but could not let this go by without posting.
i will check you in the morning.
try not to be jerks.
eta- please dont comment unless you look at the link. think about kids in that environment, then tell me you wouldnt want your black kid on an all black team.
just a little update.
divorce settlement is finally in the works, and demands that i give up doctor doom have been dropped. yeah!!!
also, little dog w cancer sees the vet today, it seems to be advancing now. more bumps and skin tags popping up. there is a treatment out there that is not crazy expensive, but will see. gonna do an xray to see how things are going on the inside.
big sad, tho, is that her sister is starting to show similar signs. that really blows.
