That is fascinating,
Kathryn -- that bookmakers will pay out before the results are in on elections. I wonder if they do it with any other events, like sports? It seems sports would be much too unpredictable, but you know, sometimes sports can be more dependable than politics!
Once the money is paid, I guess the "winners" get to keep their new riches, don't they? It would be a nightmare to try to recall all those funds, wouldn't it?
I don't know -- I'm feeling very stupid today. Filling out forms for doctor's visits and I had to look up two words that I certainly should have known.
I will have to look up
Lynlee's election results to know more what y'all are talking about, anyway...
WTG on your ddog,
Nancy -- not so much for birds, although dh would love to have a dog that would rid us of the bird that built in our carport this year -- but especially WTG for the dog catching gophers! I don't know which I would be more afraid of... rats or snakes. I hope I am never attacked by either one!!!
(((
LadyM))) Yes... praying for you, dh, and your dmil. I cannot imagine how on earth we would adjust to having a parent living with us. I just pray that we never have to face that, with our parents, or for ourselves with ds and ddil. We get along very, very well with all concerned, but it would be a huge adjustment for either of us. I imagine that is always the case, though, and as you said, you WILL make it work, IF you are faced with that situation, and you will handle it with such poise and wisdom that it will look easy to everyone else! (((BIG HUGS)))
So glad your dmom is doing well,
Rose. Won't she be thrilled to see the new baby!!!
Twins, I sorta suspected something might be "off" with that DNA announcement. DS can't even find "my" Indian from 4 or 5 generations back in A ncestry.com and this guy has
55 generations? Hmmm...
This is as far back as topic review takes me, so I'm going to stop here. My ta-da's for the day have not been anything to write home about.
This was the plan -- plus supper and s/s kitchen, which I did. I'm going to try to get those meeting notes out of the way while I'm sitting here.
[x] phone call to Christian school
[x] phone call to newspaper office
[x] phone call to dmom
[x] fill out health care form for tomorrow's "wellness check-up" at doctor's office
(I actually went ahead and filled out the new patient info for the allergy doctor's appt in July also, so I'm way ahead there!)[x] type and email teacher meeting notes
[x] transferred a few pictures from phone to computer
[ ] dust
[ ] exercise
DH is not feeling well. He probably overdid it yesterday, and probably got too hot (although he said they sat in the shade and it wasn't too bad). He's just feeling really tired and weak, and he's done nothing all day, so likewise, I've done very little all day, too.
