hers Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 A lot of stuff on NPR is pretty fairly balanced but some stories, like this one the other day about illegal immigrants, was so far to the left that I understood where NPR gets its reputation for being liberal. I listen to it daily though and usually enjoy it till they go too far to one side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 There was also a story of how NOT ENOUGH people were on Medicaid in Michigan and had an interview with one working mom who lost her job and health insurance and her daughter who has asthma and a heart condition had to get treatment without insurance. She's now making monthly payments to the $1800 bill and the whole story was about how she could've taken advantage of Medicaid but she chose not to. It was very very left. I was surprised I could point that out to myself though bc I typically can't. I had a contemporary history class in high school where we had to find the bias in various news sources and I failed it every time haha. I'm usually pretty oblivious. That's my point of these posts, mods! I'm not getting political! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 No I'm the same way. And I'm def. not trying to bring politics to ENA any mods! I just wanted to voice my feelings and didn't feel comfortable doing so on FB since a girl I work with married an illegal but they went through the process to make him legal - and then I remembered FB lets me block my posts from specific people, ha! In other news, is American football season over yet? Why must this sport fall during my favorite time of year? Give me hoodies, pumpkin scented candles, and Halloween but why American football?

OptomisticGirl Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 We saw an adorable baby Halloween costume of a dragon today at Walmart. I'm usually very against generic Halloween costumes but God this was one was cute. Even L looked at it like it was cute and he never looks at baby stuff like it's cute.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I think L was feeling a bit down today so I took the afternoon off from school work and we've been watching The Tudors. We cooked dinner together and now relaxing back on the couch watching The Tudors again, me drinking a glass of wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hers Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Why is he down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I think it was a combination of he's tired of being in the house and feeling like he's not contributing, plus his Mac charger just died and we're still waiting on the replacement one to come in. We have my clunker of a laptop but if can't do half of what the Mac can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudgie Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 N was very down for the short time he was unemployed in our first place. We had plenty of money but he was still upset. I think it's natural. When will he be able to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptomisticGirl Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Whenever they put him in the social security system, could be a month to a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annie24 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 If I may suggest, he can take some Coursera courses online. It's free. Online classes are offered on all sorts of subjects from universities all over the US. link removed. It can also help on his résumé. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks Annie, we'll def. look into it! Went to classes today and spent the rest of my day finishing up my chemistry chapter. Bugger. I remember now while I passed it with a D in high school.... L and I also spoke to his mum on face time. It was a great conversation. She showed me around her house, lovely little place, and we talked about A&P stuff and the kitties. She really misses L.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 L gave Jasper their mouse that is stuffed with cat nip to play with and Luna - miss thang as I've come to nickname her - snatched it from him and they then spent a considerable amount of time chasing each other for possession of said mouse!

OptomisticGirl Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 So glad to finally be rid of this headache that has plagued me since yesterday. Worked with it last night, went to bed with it, and woke up with it this morning. It took L giving two neck rubs and lots of headache medicine to finally get rid of it. As I was leaving work I saw a sign for those corn mazes they do every October. L said he would be willing to go - he won't do haunted houses - so it'll be a nice little date night next month! They have a daytime and night time period to do the maze and I'm thinking of doing the night time. You aren't allowed to bring flash lights and the only light is from the moon. So much fun! I'm so ready for fall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptomisticGirl Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Seeing Hers again was great! And having sushie was amazing as well, lol. We have a new girl and although a great worker, she won't stop talking. It's given me a headache for the second day in a row and is just draining on this introvert. Help.

OptomisticGirl Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 It does but this is so much more than chattering. It's constant running commentary. She's currently been talking non-stop for 15 minutes. Short bursts of conversation I can handle but constant just drains me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
