    I can't remember which thread it was, this one or Dear So-n-so, or the cycling thread, but I think I jinxed myself. Crankin said she was sick, and I mentioned that I hadn't had a cold since last fall.

    DH woke up with a sore throat three days ago, and now I did today. He's been very congested, coughing, blowing nose, and even had one night of chills and sweats (but no body aches or very high fever as with the flu), so I guess that's what I have coming up. Dang it all!

    Ditto, Emily. I made it very clear where I stand on issues, now they don't invite me to anything, or really engage with me at all. Far preferable to being privy to their thoughts on Hillary, guns, Muslims, immigrants, stand your ground laws, what Jesus would or would not do...

    Quite possibly, Rebecca, they like to tell me who he would have hated instead.

    Sadly my family does this as well - thankfully I, nor my church, agrees with them. I'm one of those staffing our church booth at Pride this Saturday, and historically, the Episcopal section of the Pride Parade in Indy is quite large - and has been for years. Granted, it was just our parish until a few years ago - but that's ok. Others are joining us now

    Pax, I'm still wrapping my brain around super-conservative librarians - it just doesn't compute.

    Okay I'm kind of tired right now -- did I read this right? Who Jesus would have hated??

    I had this vague idea that I would like to try to scrape up the cash for a condo in Florida so I could spend winters there. Not anymore.

    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles
