BruceVC Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 This summer I visited the newly completed Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. It was the most emotionally powerful place I have even been. Yesterday I went through the pictures with my daughter and we talked about the experience for a bit. I really respect the way you are raising your kids to understand things like the Civil Rights movement, you put real effort into it. I think you are a good dad and display really good parenting values ( well if I had kids I would try to follow the same values ) I'm interested, did your parents take you to places like the Civil Right Museum when you were growing up?

It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
ManifestedISO Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Made the mistake of going out for petrol and ale after 9pm. I had a good excuse, The Flash mid-season premiere was on at 8. Some old chode in a murder van with AZ plates followed me two miles and parked RIGHT NEXT TO ME at Chevron. Then at Target, someone thought it was cogent to pressure-wash the entry deck right exactly when I get there. And then at Stater Bros., some dufus gets out of his Escape exactly at the same time as I'm walking in, so I have to stop and let his dufus ass sashay ahead of me so I don't breathe in his dufus airs. There was a saving grace, however, thank god, the checkout girl is super cute and asked for my ID. I'm being told they're called 'doofuses'. Edited January 21, 2015 by ManifestedISO All Stop.

Longknife Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Felt depressed. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot? It may explain why guys were following her ?
Raithe Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Well, the joys of the flu have been spinning around the family for a bit, and I've managed to keep a low grade flu for the last week. The whole "slightly raised temperate, slight headache, general ache, ticklish throat and cough". I'm kind of at the point I'm saying "damn it, just hit me properly so you can clear up. Stop only partially visiting and lingering!" Of course, while I've got this I can't go visit mom in the hospital. Her stay there has been going on hm , about 7 weeks now. They managed a partial bronchoscopy last week, but for various reasons couldn't get all the tests they wanted. The results they did get haven't got them happy, and they're discussing other ways to look at her lungs. The only "good" way they have is to go in from the side, but they don't want to do that since her chest isn't in that great a condition at the moment and they'd end up having to pin one of her lungs to keep it inflated. Or something to that effect - it's always fun to get the partial copy of what doctors say via the sick person. One of the specialists visited her the other day and was all "Well, you're sounding better then you were." Then they listened to her breathing, and promptly went with the "Of course, if you came into my clinic and I heard this, I'd have you admitted to hospital that day, so you'll be here awhile longer." "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
LadyCrimson Posted January 21, 2015 Author Posted January 21, 2015 Felt depressed. I've been feeling very "blah" this week myself. Just want to stay curled in bed watching TV or something. I think it's the late-winter, now waiting for Spring syndrome. Could use another good rainstorm to liven me up again. That's Calif. for you...huge rainstorm once, then nothing for weeks. “Things are as they are.
