Liberal Governor for Ohio

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 8 Nov

Ohio has its first Democratic governor in 20 years, and if I'm not mistaken, it's the first female governor ever. I need to be very to the point right now and say I am an independent. I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I have...

A childhood friend who deleted me from FB

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 8 Nov

Several years ago, I had a childhood friend randomly delete me from FB without so much as an explanation, as well as several other people I knew. She later tried to add me back, but I declined the invite. Apparently, she had a...

When you feel bad for kids but enough is enough

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 8 Nov

I made a post about a girl I knew and had worked with previously, and it reminded me of two other now 5th graders. I have mentioned in the past that the now-5th graders are an extremely rough group. There is one kid in particular...

Not just a bad kid

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 8 Nov

At work on Friday, the teacher I'm in with and I were talking about the now 5th graders after there was a case of head lice. Yes, head lice. We currently have a couple of cases going on in our classroom. Despite my best efforts to...

Our Halloween

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 1 Nov

Yesterday was a fun but long day. I came home exhausted. I was going to post last night but fell asleep before I had the chance. We started the day by driving to Indiana. We wanted to take our son to where we went the previous...

meals

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 26 Oct

I've been seeing a lot of 90s recipes popping up lately, and it made me smile. The truth is, though, my parents never really cooked a lot of the popular dishes in the 90s. My mom is not a cook. She was a terrible cook. She never...

Toledo chemical leak

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 25 Oct

I live in NW Ohio, not too far from Toledo. Anyone who has been keeping up with the news may have heard about a chemical leak. I wasn't aware it made national news until my friend across the country saw it on the news and asked me...

An unplanned road trip

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 25 Oct

Yesterday, my husband and I decided to take a mini road trip. We didn't know where we were going. We didn't have a plan. We hopped in the car, and we just drove. We explored a large part of NW Ohio and part of Indiana. My son...

Kate and Collin Gosselin

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 17 Oct

Anyone who has watched Jon and Kate Gosselin over the years knows how insane that family was. I think the show started out with the best of intentions, and maybe they were good people to start with, but fame changed them, or at...

A guy annoyed me today

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 14 Oct

Today, my son and I do what we do almost every Wednesday. The church across the street from where I work has a church dinner every Wednesday, and a lot of local restaurants donate food to it. The food is literally restaurant...

the transformation of the phone in my lifetime

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 11 Oct

My husband and I were talking today about how far some things have come. When I was a kid, only the rich had cell phones, and they were absolutely nothing like they are today. Everyone relied on landlines. There were payphones...

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 10 Oct

Along with the Christa Pike story, there has been another one circulating, the one where the video footage from when a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher. It wasn't an accident; the child knew what he was doing, and the mouth on him...

Christa Pike

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 10 Oct

I'm sure by now many people have heard of the Christa Pike story. She survived her execution. She was supposed to be executed by lethal injection; only she survived it and was rushed to the hospital, where she was put on a...

Board Games Pt. 3

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 28 Sep

For today's board game list, I think I'll do a couple of more classic games and maybe a few more lesser-known games. I guess it'll just come down to what I happen to think about on a whim. I'll let my undiagnosed ADHD do its...

My son's cooking challenge

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 28 Sep

I told everyone I would update when my son did his cooking challenge. He did his challenge yesterday. We took him to Aldi so he had a decent chance at being able to stay in budget. We gave him a 20 dollar budget to feed the three...

Board games pt 2

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 27 Sep

Yesterday I started my board game post. Ironically, my husband went to Goodwill and a retro store after I had posted, and I saw a couple of the games I had mentioned, and I also found some I didn't mention. I picked up a few games...

Giving my son a cooking challenge

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 24 Sep

Lately, I've seen posts about a challenge some parents are giving their teenagers when it comes to cooking, and I thought it was a great idea. You give them a budget and have them feed a certain number of people with the amount of...

My kid never makes a Christmas list

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 24 Sep

I have always seen kids making these giant Christmas lists for their parents, heck, I was one of those kids when I was little, but to be fair, my childhood had toy commercials in between every single show, making kids want...

Some things I find odd in old movies

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13599) • United States 24 Sep

Being an old movie and TV show viewer, there are a couple of things about the older movies and shows that I have always found a bit odd, especially back in the 50s and maybe a bit before. I remember watching old movies and TV...
