— Ace Because I really liked the last one. It made me happy.
There are other political threads here. Please, no damn politics. Politics can go in the fifteen other threads posted today.
A post to note all the ways in which your life is really pretty good-- and to remind yourself that, unlike the Other Side, your value is not determined by the percentage of the vote a political candidate gets in Ohio.

I like computer games. I started a small blog on them last year.
It is tiny, and no one reads it, but it makes me happy to play games and then write about them.
I should really send some pieces in for the Sunday game threads.

A guy called in and said he and his wife transported the turkey to his m-i-l's to be cooked there. His wife stuffed a can of Pam in the turkey's butt for transport, and forgot about it when they put it in the oven. After about an hour, there was a huge "BAM!" and the oven door flew open and the can blew out a kitchen window.
I call "bullshit" but it's still funny.

I will go fishing on Saturday.
I will go to the range on Sunday.
I will love my friends and family.
I will pack for my yearly hunting trip
For Thanksgiving I will be making the long drive from the west coast for 10 days of deer hunting and bird shooting in South Dakota. I try to always hunt on Thanksgiving. It will be a good time with good friends. No news or TV, just simple pleasures and cold weather.
The beat goes on. Life really is good. I mean that.

Now, I cook for anyone of our friends who don't have plans or a family to go to. I spend three days shopping and preparing all the sides, roast a nice turkey, and make three or four pies.
It's the one day my husband goes completely off Atkins and splurges. I also make sure to send people home with plenty of leftovers.
I love Thanksgiving.

My brother got a new job that will bring him more regular hours and more of them at a higher wage. Since he has been struggling for the last year and a half to support his wife and two little daughters, this is a very good thing.
It looks like I am going to have Thanksgiving with my family this November for the first time since 2008, so there is that.
I now have a working forge, so I can do some blacksmithing on clear days, though finding charcoal for it looks like it is going to be more difficult than I envisioned.

I'm thankful that I have all of you fine people to make me laugh and talk me down off of the ceiling.
I'm also thankful for my wonderful husband, who has been taking great care of me all these years (but especially the past 2, when I've been pretty much housebound).
And my 4 girls, 3 of whom are grown, and the youngest, who has Down syndrome and makes us laugh every day. DD#3 has been living at home the past year, and has also been helping to take care of me.
It's been nice to get to know her as an adult -

I defriended a bunch of people on FB who gloated and posted shit, and attacked me...
That's positive...I am done with them.
Also, am an uncle again, which is nice. My brother and his wife are tall as hell, as she will be. I don't have kids, but it's fun to be around my niece and nephew, they are funny kids and the nephew is a genius. 10 and knows calculus and wants to learn more.
When I was holding him as an infant, I thought "I'll go through the multiplication tables" cuz I'm a nerd...as I did, his little eyes opened and looked at me.
Yep, he is destined for good things...but he's getting to the age where the teachers are fucking him up.
This whole entire mess starts in the schools. Where is the GOP? Oh yeah, Boehner.
Anyway...
And Michigan, where I live, is home to some fine breweries...bad for my liver, but good for my ability to destroy consciousness.

As it is, I'm still eating the produce from months ago and will have plenty into the Winter. I almost doubled the garden's square footage this Autumn. I can hardly wait to pore over seed catalogs before the fireplace this Winter and plan my next year's garden on some graph paper. This is a traditional seasonal pleasure for me and it is so good to have things like that to look forward to.
One trick I picked up over the last couple of years in gardening is to take control of the bad things as soon as you notice them, but be somewhat lax or permissive of good things.
Like; certain weeds have to be eliminated just as soon as you see the tiniest piece appear. But let's say you have some unknown squashes sprout out of some old compost, in a part of the garden you have other plans for. Maybe you change your plans, instead of treating this healthy thing like a weed. Let it go. You might end up with...fourteen butternut squashes setting in your windowsills, like me.

Husband pointed out to me his job in an African gold mine is secure because gold's price will stay high.
Grandchildren all supported my side, and are smart and not succumbing to school brainwashing.
I love the three dogs here, who love to go out on a squirrel patrol whenever one is spotted.
My moderate GOP sister, a nurse, called me today between surgeries, just to tell me she was thinking of me and loved me. (She voted with us.)

Hah. This reminds me of the time I was first getting to know my former neighbor and former friend (whose politics do not mirror mine). We were making tacos in his apartment; I started cooking meat on his gas stovetop, preheated his oven and went next door to my apartment to get the taco shells.
I got back and handed the shells to him to put in the oven. He pulls open the oven door and there's a huge explosion which blows him damn near 7 feet across the room into the opposite wall.
This being 2003, I didn't realize he had an oven that was so ancient it had to be manually lit. My "preheating" had caused a huge gas buildup which was lit from the flame on the burner upon him opening the oven door.
Good times.

You know my wife totally expected me to pick up Diablo III? And was disappointed when I told her that the game didn't measure up to its predecessor and was a waste of time because she had played a large portion of DII with me. She plays LOTRO with me all the time. She totally supports me, makes me lunch every day, dinner almost every night. Whenever I get a wild hair she is totally behind me.

I am grateful for all of you. I don't know how I would have gotten along outside of this blog during the last several years and the years to come without the moron horde. Let's live our lives to the fullest, save our money and other resources for the bad times, and continue to support each other.

That reminds me, the best money I eeked out was what I spent to buy a Kindle. I've got about 400 books on it and nearly all of them were free.
Somebody, probably Jefferson, said, 'I must have books.' I agree.

While I wasn't around, Mark Leyner put out a new book that's *like* the old AOSHQ-inspiring books he used to make. It's called "The Sugar Frosted Nutsack." That's disappointing. But it's a solid, competent, this-is-a-book-by-Mark-Leyner performance after what feels like decades of unbearably shitty professional-writer garbage. Not a true classic of the stuff-by-Mark-Leyner genre (top six!), but you should give it a look. It has some jokes you'll like (Dennis Miller with a poetry PhD style) and the form is neat (but not surprising, if you know what sort of things Leyner likes to do).

The leaves are turning, I'm working on a writing project I'm really excited about, and I have a plane ticket to New Orleans for New Years'. There's chili in the fridge at home and pumpkin muffins in the cabinet. Leaves are turning and my grandmother didn't die last week like we feared.
Yeah, I'm doing okay.

I used to post semi-often, especially on the evening and overnight threads, especially if I'd had a beer or two (which may or may not be the source of that Professor Marius von Totenkopf silliness; he's now plotting his inevitable return on Twitter). I've been lurking for the past couple or months or so. This past year has been a roller coaster personally, and, to quote Slu (I think) on Twitter last night, it doesn't end on Hoor Island.
After 4+ years of trying to have kids, including 2 of stalling out in the adoption process, my wife finally got pregnant. Everything was fine until about 23 weeks or so into the pregnancy when my wife started having symptoms of preeclampsia. After a couple weeks of frantic hospital visits, she was admitted for monitoring for the duration with the expectation that the once she got to 34 weeks, the baby would be delivered, stay in the NICU for about six weeks, then go home with little to no problems. The symptoms got bad enough that after only 2.5 weeks in the hospital, the doctors decided to deliver my daughter by c-section at 26 weeks, 5 days in mid-September. For the first couple weeks, she actually was doing relatively well (lines removed, ventilators scaled backs, etc.), but lingering PDA issues and organ immaturity eventually snowballed. One day my wife and I came to the NICU, and the doctors were crowded around her, and we were warned how bad the situation actually was. Within 36 hours, my daughter passed away, having lived 19 days. That was a month ago last Saturday.
My wife and I are managing. As you could probably guess, it ain't easy. Thankfully, we've been blessed that both our families have been very supportive, and things are slowly getting back to normal, as much as they can, though they'll never be the same.
Prior to everything going down hill, I had been volunteering as the social media coordinator (read: running the Twitter and Facebook accounts) for a state senator running for reelection here in Delaware, doing my bit to help the cause. I had to drop out as things started to get worse, and, thankfully, he still won last night. Despite how crappy last night went overall, I'm disappointed by not despondent, wailing and gnashing my teeth over politics. There are harder things than political losses.
I'd like to thank everyone at this website for keeping me distracted and my spirits up over the last few weeks. You guys have all kept me relatively sane even though you didn't know it. You're all like a weird second or third family with whom I can vent and be generally socially unacceptable. Once things normalize a bit more, I hope I'll have the chance to post, argue, mock, and flame more regularly.
PS: I happen to be Facebook/Twitter friends with a few of you. Any sentiments are appreciated, but please do not bring any of that up on either site and keep it on the HQ. I'm trying to keep this stuff to a minimum outside of immediate family and close friends. I just felt compelled to put something on this thread. Again, I apologize for bumming anyone out.

The beds need to be topped off with compost, manure, or chopped leaves and grass clippings at least once a year to maintain good fertility, if you leave the soil uncovered most of the time.
A permanent straw or hay mulch a la Ruth Stout method will give you a layer of spongy black topsoil full of worm castings, just like what you find under heavy leaf litter in a forest.
But it's not a good strategy for areas that have a lot of shad and slug damage.
I don't bother double-digging beds anymore with this technique. The worms loosen up the subsoil enough for me, and plants can't really use that hard clay underneath it anyway.

I have a cousin who went through virtually the same situation about nine years ago. He and his wife have been a great deal of help, especially for my wife. Seems for now like time is going to be the biggest factor in helping process everything. We've kind of ruled out the silly ways of dealing with what's going on (moving, changing jobs, getting a second dog, etc.) and instead coming up with more positive ways of moving forward.
Also, the news (aside from this site, Insty, and what I have to read for work) is on blackout. TV is pretty much limited to British Top Gear or Sherlock on Netflix and Red Eye. Oddly enough, this seems to be helping quite a bit.

A guy called in and said he and his wife transported the turkey to his m-i-l's to be cooked there. His wife stuffed a can of Pam in the turkey's butt for transport, and forgot about it when they put it in the oven. After about an hour, there was a huge "BAM!" and the oven door flew open and the can blew out a kitchen window.
I call "bullshit" but it's still funny.

Exploding ovens:
When I was in college I lived in a ghetto apt for a year. I called it The Ghetto. It was in a concrete-block structure with possible asbestos ceilings. Sort of like an old warehouse for nuclear materials in Western city. A fourplex near bus route. I was dating a guy and decided to cook for him. I had a "Betty Crocker Cooking For Two" cookbook and knew how to cook a few entrees from that source. I was making "Chicken Cacciatore" in skillet, and had "warmed up" the oven for bread. The guy, we will call him "Dumbstruck," was in LR finding music for the gala event. I was happily stirring sauce when BOOM!Eleventy!! then instantly deaf and smelling singed hair. You see, I grew up in an all electric house and was not familiar with pilot light thingies, which need to be lit before use of oven. Nor did I ever cook, as I survived college on cereal, milk, OJ, meals at hospital where I trained and worked, and beer. So I had little need for oven and had also never used it. "Dumbstruck" came into galley kitchen (after admiring me from couch while I cooked) asking "What the hell was that?" Half my hair had singed up to my shoulder (hair was down to waist in length) and I was deaf and saying "Huh?" He turned off oven, took wooden spoon out of my hand, and led me to couch where I sat in shock. I am not sure if we ate at all (I may have had a concussion?) and I never saw him much after that (romance went up almost in flames). I later had a huge hematoma the size of my fist on my thigh, as the oven door flew open with force, singed hair and hit thigh, and shut. Asbestos ceiling, by the way, fell down in little pieces so I may have mesothelioma (now that I think of it!) and may have to sue someone. I am not a fan of gas ovens to this day.
The next day I was talking to a few neighbors (one in fourplex and another on block) and they asked if I felt the "earthquake" the day before. I told them it was I, ChristyBlinky Supermodel, cooking and making the earth move.
My husband did not marry me for my cooking skillz, even though I am very gourmet now.

I'm grateful for reliable internet service so I can lurk at AOSHQ every day. Last time I checked, I have a very nice rack. I have a wonderful, toe-curlingly-sexay boyfriend who calls or texts me two times every day to say that he loves me and is thinking of me. I'm going to be laid off in ten days, but I have some savings. I have a huge Irish Catholic family. My little brother is engaged to a wonderful girl.

Your story did make me think of one of the things I'm grateful for: that I was born when and where I was. I was born a month early, but had stopped growing around 20 weeks or so.... any nourishment I was getting went straight to my brain. I weighed 1lb, 9 oz when born and was only ten inches long (and five of those easily were my head). I thank God that I was born in the "modern age," and in America.... and that I don't have many issues from the circumstances of my birth. Yeah, I'm roughly the size of a hobbit.... and my eyesight is horrendous, and my lung capacity and motor skills leave something to be desired. But I have full control over my faculties, am considered halfway intelligent, and can move and breathe on my own. So I've got that going for me.
I also am grateful to live in America because even though things didn't go our way last night, we still go to vote in a truly free election, without fear of getting blown up while waiting in line. I'm grateful I could drive myself to the polling place and be seen out in public without a male chaperone and wearing whatever the heck I please.
I thank God for my children, who give me such joy every day. Especially now that we are one week into an eight month long deployment for my husband. I'm so proud of him and his fellow sailors, but I hate that he's got to leave. My son is taking it very, very hard/ All I can do is hug him, and give my daughter kisses from him. They brighten my days, and I know without them I'd be curled up on the couch each day, sobbing into a bottle of wine and eating myself into a coma.
And I know this sounds stupid but I'm grateful for Facebook. As much as it drives me crazy with the politics, it keeps me in touch with people that I love. If not for Facebook I could probably go weeks without interacting with another human being other than my kids for weeks. Which, God, sounds so much more pathetic when I actually put it to words!

Oh, and Nanny Bloomberg has "ordered" out of state utility crews to stay. Can he do that? I am sure they would want to stay and help or they would not be there anyway (or try to help when the unions are not interfering and calling them scabs and stuff). The city gave out 1500 space heaters to the elderly. What a mess.

I am thankful for my husband, our kids, and my extended family. My husband is a wonderful man who works hard and worries that his check isn't enough. I'v beena stay at home mom for so long I am probably unemployable. Thankful for our home, my vegetable and flower gardens and the dumbass dog that digs in both. I am thankful that my son, 17,straight A student, senior in h.s. hoping to attend West Point, was able to have the trip of a lifetime by joining his cousin on board th USS Enterprise for its final tiger cruise. He had a blast. Im thankful that hubby's e.r visit was a big ol nothing to worry about.
We are healthy, we have a home, we have love and fun and joy. It's all good here.

I've lurked here for eight (8!) years and this post finally brings me out from under my rock...
I'm thankful that while my job has absolutly nothing to do with my BA and that I get paid peanuts, it is something I love and have always wanted to do. That it has fulfilled me in a way nothing else has before, that I made the best friends I have ever had. I am also thankful for a close, like-minded, awesome, supportive family (for instance my mom's been running around this site as DaytonDenise).
As for books? David Weber's "Safehold" series is pretty excellent if you like Sci Fi, while anything by David Gemmell is amazing if you like fantasy as well as Terry Goodkind's "The Sword of Truth" series.

Have a wife of 20 years that I still dig (and know I always will); 16 & 17 year old boys that are decent, fairly respectful, clever, and make me proud (most of the time); healthy parents (that are just close/just far enough - away); a job that pays the bills and keeps us in bacon and bourbon; a little bit of golf; occasional skiing; Panther PSL's; Mtns. and the Beach.
No real pains; no lumps; no hitches-in-my-getalong.
I just watched Modern Family and laughed out loud (really hard) ... and I found this blog last week. All in all no complaints! I am an American!
Life is good.

I also love me some ampersands, and I am having a hard time remembering that everyone does not.
Didn't Thom. Jefferson say, in Vol. VII
"To each his own punctuation. The King shall not deny, nor unjustly tax, our semi-colons."?

I'm thankful for my life. It's not too shabby. Even though I am completely burnt out at my job, I am grateful I have one. Thankful for my wonderful hubby whose first words after we learned the outcome of the election were "as long as we're together we'll be fine." I am also thankful for my doggies - all 8 of them. It's like having 8 perpetual 2 year olds running around the house. Our house can be chaos, but I can't imagine life without them.
God bless ya and our Country. We're going to need it.
