words do not always come easy...

ok, so.....i spoke to a group of teachers this afternoon....and managed to ad lib my rudimentary nutrition talk going for 45 minutes before i decided that it was time to call for questions before making my exit.....and there were good questions...which is why one shows up to this sort of event...to answer the question somebody showed up to ask....i can only guess what people want to hear....and then i waited around for nearly 2 hours for my diabetes support group.....a raucous crowd of 12-18 dependable attendees.....all trying to talk as one...thankfully the two ladies who are not diabetic stayed home this evening....reeling them in can be so very tiresome.....and so i am home...and trying to wind down.....we received the fafsa letter today....it was time and i was looking for it....the doctor who showed up for his turn at our ob clinic this morning was all agog about his fafsa deadlines.....seems the financial aid folks are unkind to medical men who make upwards of....well.....you know what paygrade we are talking here.....and he asked me point-blank how we managed to send our child to......well.... you know where.....and then...he told me that he was so very worried about the upcoming election, because hil. would take him to the cleaners with her tax hikes........gentle readers.....in such cases it is wise to sit and smile while such folk get it all off of their collective bombastic chests.....especially give that state employees are forbidden to take sides......bombastic or otherwise....
