My husband keeps telling me, we're moving to Canada haha. Guess we'll see if we are after tonight.

Are you joining in on some drinking with us? Wait, it's probably a lot later over there then here, so maybe not? Time zones elude me lol.

I figure Alaska is far enough away that no one would bother with it and I wont have to do all the paperwork lol.

When voting i went through 30? Maybe 40? Probably submissions than that but idk. Suffice it to say, a lot. And...

There were a lot of really really great ones. But some of them were just like...That's not a house? That's not...did you even read the prompt? Oatmeal needs a house for winter. How are two sticks and a leaf going to help with that? T___T

T___T i'm so sorry to hear that friendo <3 hughug i'm sure yours was lovely!

Subeta seems to have that problem where they give out a set of rules that seem quite easy to understand and then they come back like NONONO WAIT HERE ARE CLARIFICATIONS CUZ YOU GUYS DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM IN THE WAY WE WANTED YOU TO!

Not trying to knock the Subeta Staff any, but jeeze guys.

I agree, it was odd that some of the entries weren't houses or shacks but just nothing in particular. I voted all those down. I hope some of the good ones win.

me too! :D

Not the gamer myself, my other half plays and I watch whilst knitting and sewing. Or being on here! He recommends Battlefield only if you have a squad of people you know to play it with - team work got them better scores and more fun than solo.

I was already in bed at that point, but still believe drinking may be required.

To the hills of Alaska! Ok, not exactly practical. Yet.

Well, deep breath, the US votes are in. Whatever your politics, being from the UK I cannot get past the fact that the word trump = fart.

currently looking into canadian immigration.

besides that tho, having a splendid day.

I am... going to hope for the best. Only time will tell what happens, and at this point, I'm hoping that there isn't too much damage done in the next four years, and hopefully in 2020 we can get some reasonable candidates on the ballot

let's hope for that! I am hoping (against hope) he will see reason XXD

Yup, pretty much. Basically all I'm hoping for at this point is that he fills his Cabinet with incredibly qualified people and lives up to his promise from last night to be a president for all American people.

But yeah, on a whole, bleh

On the bright side, I think my interview yesterday went well. I got a call yesterday evening to send over my references so they could be contacted, which is a good sign.

- crossing the fingers for you! I am (again) in hospital for at least another two days. So kind of hard to get online with my phone

I told my daughter that by the time we saved enough money to move to Alaska the four years would be over anyway lol! I am not sure I could handle the weird nights and days anway.

Extreme sympathy.
Hope that there are enough people in power to make sure decisions are kept positive.

crosses fingers for interview/success

^ & Admire you taking the positive view. I guess if you're stuck with something, it helps a little knowing this 'thing' has an ending.

Ah, when the reality hits! xD Time to batten down the hatches and weather the storm. Hopefully it will still be OK. Lots and lots of good vibes to all. ❤

sort of easy for me - living in Germany coughs I mean, what else do we have?

Only hope, that things will turn out better then we think now.

I am not too worried about it. We have so many checks and balances in place that nothing really gets done anyway lol. It is what it is! Just smile and move forward :D

How is everyone doing today? I am doing pretty good. Right now I am just feeding the squirrels and surfing the net. My daughter finished up her online classes early, so I get a little break. That is always good!

Trouble is, these things are global. Should I even mention the Brexit and that bag of nonsense?
trying to maintain positivity for all xD

Been babysitting earlier, late work shift later and applying for jobs now! Keeping busy. Plus, I have realised I have done no real-life Xmas planning and must begin to get organised... Huzzah for squirrels and breaks!

I need to do a Christmas layaway for all of the kids. Trucks and cars always work for the boys. I am just wondering if the girls are old enough for Barbies. I think they are. Those are usually a big hit. One year when I just had my 3 nieces (before they all had kids) I did an all Barbie Christmas. My sister was so mad. Barbie clothes and shoes everywhere lol, but the girls loved it!

nay and I know they are global.

One of my senior citizens (working in a retirement home) used to say, she doesn't care (but then she is 110 years old) It's not me I am worried about, but my kids.

As long as I have my hubby beside me - my world is perfect!

Sounds like a lot of fun gifts there! Barbie Xmas was an inspired idea, sure my niece would love it, but only me and her out of the family... xD

I suspect we'll end up with a lot of board games this year, judging from people's wishlists. I might be cheeky and ask for jewellery, but weird stuff. I like weird.

I think that is what caused the Br**it grump about that vote - too many people voting for themselves and not thinking about the next generation(s).

it might be stupid, but even after nearly 10 years he just completes me. He is definetly all I've ever wanted and I just wish I could have found him earlier - but - oh well so he could bring his three kids with him. Hard to describe - and I sometimes feel stupid saying things like that about him, but that's what he meakes me feel.

I am glad I am done with RL Christmas shopping and getting done with my preparations here as well.
