MKAC, I'd imagine that there's no right or wrong - but it certainly is a dilemma.

Well I see it as you not supporting your son and purposely messing up his opportunities there. How is he supposed to get a good recommendation now? You should have stayed away from the website. You have other venues.

My premiums have dropped and I received a rebate from my insurance company under Obamacare/Romneycare." Also posted a link to an article from a neutral news source that said the opposite of what she said. My son is really pissy. Thoughts?
Wait til he is done and then let er rip!
Thanks for this!

mkac, it would be beyond unreasonable for you to have to censor what you post because of where your son works. That's how it works in dictatorships. It makes sense for your son not to post things to Facebook that contradicts his employer, simply because it might make his work environment embarrassing, but there is absolutely no reason why you should be gagged. It actually upsets me a great deal that that is even a consideration.

I'll have to watch it when I have a reliable Internet connection. I like kittens. Romance, not so much.

Hi....

Saw T yesterday.. remember how I posted that I was afraid he hadn't gotten any further with plans to go to the site of the trauma? Well, he had.. He actually had decided AGAINST having my MC being there with us. I am kind of annoyed by it. He was kind of surprised that I picked him in the first place to go with us. However, when I told him my reasoning he said, that makes sense. So, I am not sure what made him change his mind all of a sudden. However, my bff just happens to be in town this week, so she is going to be the third person and we are going on Monday. I called T, to confirm plans and tell him I will e-mail directions to him, so I am still waiting his return call. I am getting really nervous..

I agree - I just question why mkac is posting exactly where her son works. That's a little too Freudian for me. Why cant she give him his space? The tone of her first response seemed off to me, like the emphasis was on the wrong person. The fact is, she IS related to him. We dont expect a candidate's partner to be standing next to them on the debate podium shaking their head. Make your own stand but dont just undermine a weaker relative's. There is anger here. Mayber there is right and justice and the American way, but there is ball-breaking. And I dont even particularly like mkac's son. Or republicans! But I dont think this was right. It's undermining and humiliating. It says my mother doesnt care about me. Maybe im overreacting And taking it personal. Its like the mafia saying, its just business.

On a completely different note, my H is apparently serious about riding more with me. We are going riding again on Sunday. He also was really enthused about a Labor Day riding trip that we are planning. Me, H, our daughter, my friends J, and maybe my friend B. [I deliberately listed those friends in THAT order on purpose. hahahaha]

And, we are planning a canoe trip because that's what he likes to do. He was worried he would not get to canoe again because the vehicle we used to transport the canoe (a van - strapped it to the top) got totally. I figured out the canoe and all our stuff fit really well in the stock horse trailer, so we can still go canoeing.

I'm not granite, but yeah, hankster, it does seem like you tend to take things personally when it comes to MKAC's children or husband. I have yet to see you have that reaction to my H, and MKAC and I are practically the same person, just ask her.
Thanks for this!

Sorry Hanksta...that was over the top. Just saying, not hating on you though.

Back from Boston, took the dogs out for a swim. Sadie refused to come in after. She is so damn stubborn. Grrrrrr. She loves to swim though, I'll give her that.

MKAC...which workout video do you do? It's Jillian Michaels, right? I have gained 30 freaking pounds. PREDNISONE. Ick. I told my doc today that I was tapering off it. I don't care if the inflammation flares up, I can't handle all this weight.
