jmh123 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Looking at ldyj's lovely new banner, I feel 98% certain that the "new" picture on the right is a re-colorized version of the picture on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted August 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the way it is too. Either way, it's a great picture! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi there! I survived the visit from my cousin and actually it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. I then had a pretty bad asthma attack followed by having oral surgery. So all in all it was a not the best summer! My daughter has been back teaching for 2 weeks already. So her summer is completely gone! To top it off my house looks like it won’t be finished building until thanksgiving! I’m a little bored without having everything I need so yesterday I wrote all my Christmas cards. ‘I wish there was more on the Clay front! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldyjocelyn Posted August 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 This is a film from President Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, in partnership with Netflix. I just looked at the trailer, it looks fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearofH2O Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Watched it last night. Very interesting partly because my father was a UAW local president for a GM plant for many years. If he were still alive he would give those people who voted against the union a piece of his mind. He was there when unions were first formed and remembered when companies would hire people to beat up those who belonged to a union. The way the glass company from China handled their employees sounded so familiar. They were smart in keeping the younger people who probably didn't know that much about what unions do to help their members. They needed to learn that there is strength in numbers.

merrieeee Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I thought it was very thought provoking. I could see both sides and neither were hundred percent right. My fil was in the mines in PA so was very union! My husband worked for a company that had a union vote. It became vicious. The union wanted to cut his wage by half and take away two years of the apprenticeship he’d worked already so he was against it. He ended up being beaten and lost a lot of the eyesight in his right eye. He never went back and joined the Air Force the next day. Which turned out for the best because I never would have met him!

ldyjocelyn Posted August 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Well, he was seemingly in Atlanta last weekend.... I do miss seeing his face though! Anyone have plans for the long weekend? I have tomorrow off, and then going to see Weird Al Yankovic (for the fifth time, I believe). This tour is with the local symphony orchestra in each city. Should be a fun show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merrieeee Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 My daughter is coming over. She lives in an apartment that is about 200 yards from mine and I see her less than when I lived 30 miles away! Beginning of the school year is so hard for her. Teaching seniors come with a lot more stuff than just classroom work. They’ve already asked her when prom is scheduled! Since we can’t grill I’m having roast leg of lamb, mint sauce, Brussels sprouts and English roasted potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearofH2O Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Happy Birthday a day late merrieeee. Glad everyone in FL is safe. What a horrible mess in the Bahamas. I am concerned that some insurance companies will fail and not cover some of these storm expenses as well as the governments.Time for a lot of folks and politicians to get their heads out of the sand and do something for our earth.

ldyjocelyn Posted September 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 Clay is part of Politicon this year -- being held in Nashville for the first time. I debated about going to this, but I don't think I can take the time off now. (Nashville is only a 6 hour drive for me) Some really good guests too -- Al Franken and Randy Rainbow are my top two besides Clay! Oh, and Jaboukie Young White (from the Daily Show). https://politicon.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
