    There's somethin' else I didn't know before, that I learned from Designated Survivor. You'll never guess what shape the Oval Office has!

    The King of Jordan is on 60 Minutes... a pretty interesting guy for sure.
    The answer seems obvious to me, and therefore I am going to assume it is not as obvious as it seems? So it is not in fact oval?

    I have a happy story!

    Got together with Geordi's breeder today. We took Geordi and his sister to Rural King for some socializing and training then went back to her place. She has 3 horses, cutting/roping horses, all in their upper 20s in years. Real nice horses. I used to ride hunters/jumpers when I was young and haven't been on a horse in many years. She was in a car accident 4 years ago and we are lucky she survived. She was real banged up with breaks and concision, but is much better now. She hadn't ridden since the accident. Last week her daughter and family came to visit and they rode the horses. So today, we saddled 2 of them up and rode in her pasture. Man, it was so good to be back in the saddle again! Although the muscles aren't there anymore, the memory is. I felt at home. We are going to go riding more in the future as we can get together.

    So for me, it was a GREAT day! Back in the saddle again! :lol::thumbs::lol::thumbs::lol::thumbs::toast:

    Oh dear, that's how my Mom had hers. She just would not take her meds. Be sure you do the exercises they give you to do. I know they donvt seem like much, but they are a huge help. Hope you recover quickly. I'm praying!

    My daughter and I don't do formal visits. I mention I'm cooking. She states she is coming to eat. She walks in and promptly takes a nap while I finish cooking. Then she takes out papers to grade while I serve myself. Then she eats, grades more papers, and then proceeds to clean my refrigerator, which she states is disgusting. She then calls me disgusting while I sit at my desk and continue to clean my desk and laugh. She finishes with the fridge and tells me to sweep up my crap. I do so and fix her a plate of food to take home. She calls me disgusting one more time. I curse her out, and she goes home. We had a great visit!!

    How on earth did you get it? I seriously never knew that the Oval Office was actually oval, and I'm assuming that the depiction of it in Designated Survivor was accurate as to the shape.

    Oh, we don't. I was trying to thank the wench for cleaning my refrigerator, and she said, "Look, don't get all mushy on me." We are VERY irreverent with each other. For us it's the ultimate form of love.
    My sisters & I are like that with each other. Dad got it & would join in. Mom just fussed at us to stop fighting. She gets it a little now, but doesn't like it when we do it when other family or friends are around. We won't friend her on FB, we have too much fun there, she wouldn't like it.

    An old memory just popped out of nowhere. Well actually, out of somewhere, but I don't want to give away a clue. It's more fun if it takes you a few seconds to pull the file from the old memory bank:

    Fizzies.

    Remember them? (They were pretty horrible, even when I was a kid.)
