Wait, you know business travel is all fun and games, right? Sleeping on a mattress that isn't your own (don't forget to check it for bed bugs). Unlimited expense account (not - the IRS daily meal limits - I think it's up to $34 a day apply now) so you can eat lavishly at McDonalds. Not having your own coffee each day. Putting in usually a longer day than normal then going back to the hotel room to sit by yourself because you don't have friends or family near. If you do go to a decent restaurant have everyone look at you like you're a loser for eating alone, and if you're REALLY lucky having some half drunk ass hit on you because you're eating alone. Missing hugging your kid before they go to bed, same for the spouse too. Missing having a purring cat on your lap or to help lull you to sleep. Yea, I love business travel too... Interesting on the meals. I get more than that even in podunk and I work for the federal govt. It varies depending on where I'm at but I think $42 is the lowest it goes. Lately I've been in higher cost cities where it's $70+ per day. I tend to enjoy traveling because when I get to the room there are no chores. No cooking, cleaning, laundry or errands! My typical weeknight is usually suffering from a miserable lack of downtime for me to do anything enjoyable. It's all sucked up in chores and getting dinner ready. Nope you are spot on! I didn't realize the amounts went up so much in the past 10-15 years or so (ok I didn't check). The company I'm with now allows actual expenses so I haven't had to check it for awhile. It's been awhile but those rates seem more reasonable than back when I was doing a lot of traveling.
Just checked Beaumont TX and it's $51 a day now. I couldn't touch breakfast in the hotel for less than $18 (unless I just got a bagel and coffee) and lunch was about $10. That left either a cheep dinner or a cheep breakfast because I remember my limit at $34 back then. No fridge in the hotel room and I was there for weeks at a time.
Chicago is listed at $74 a day. You could eat very well for that amount as long as you don't go nuts.

Well crap... I just found out I'll be traveling for work starting the week after next for 3 weeks in a row. <= Grumpy travel face Wait, you know business travel is all fun and games, right?

Maybe when they stop committing crimes that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt they have no place in society, just like adults do? I'll defer to a lawyer but I believe the prosecutor has discretion in choosing to try a person as a child or as an adult. In every case I've seen where they's been tried as an adult it's been pretty clear the individual knew what they were doing, knew it was wrong, and choose to do it anyway. Evil exists regardless of the age. cool. then we have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to criticize Saudi Arabia for their "barbarity". Umm, you will note that I wasn't the one criticizing them. However if you want to put freedom of speech on the same level of evil as murder or rape then I guess that's your right? Personally, I see a bit of a difference between them.

You know, I've been giving this some thought (shocking - I know). Remember the saying "The pen is mightier than the sword"? The English language is amazingly imprecise. Context is so key to the overall conversation, that it is easy to manipulate the intended message simply by changing the context in which it is delivered. We have some pretty epic discussions around this all the time. Consider "Illegal Immigrant" vs "Undocumented Immigrant" or "Stay at home Mom" vs "Domestic Engineer". The meaning is the same, but the hidden message between each phrase is very different. I'm one of the first to say we've become way to PC as a society and I hope to hell the pendulum swings back because we're becoming a nation of whiny wusses. HOWEVER when we're talking an educational textbook, you better make damn sure that nasty parts of our history are not glossed over or presented in a way that lessens the shock of what was done. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it. (ok - off my soapbox now) I understand that words carry strong connotations. Furthermore I admit that, absent any context, the word "worker" carries the connotation of a paid worker. "Immigrant" has no connotation as far as I'm concerned. Hence, "worker". Is "paid worker" a strong connotation? Is "slave worker" an oxymoron or an absurdity ("prancing cowboy" is one of my favourites from a novelist who took "prancing" [n. to walk or move about spiritedly; to strut about] far too literally)? No. Is context provided for "worker"? Absolutely. "The Atlantic Slave Trade..." at the very top of the paragraph. Are there other reasons why McGraw-Hill might have used "workers" instead of "slaves"? Absolutely. See my last post. Supposing we count this as an unacceptable omission, is one word in one caption sufficient to justify a claim of historical revisionism? It's not necessary to look at what else the textbook has to say about the slave trade? I'd love to see a defensible case for 'Yes'. I see no reason why McGraw-Hill couldn't add this to the list of errata (despite not being an error) for the next edition, but pulling the textbook out of classrooms? Maybe the kids can burn them in the school courtyard and learn all about combustion so it won't be a complete waste of time and money. Tennesseer actually beat me to the punch, I've been trying to find some links that go over how TX (which we all know is so logic driven) has an undue influence on what materials are published in textbooks. Normally I would agree with not going overboard on reactions, but these are textbooks for crying outloud. Personally, I sure as hell hope some serious thought would go into how we are programming teaching our children. Either the publisher is absolutely clueless about how this was presented (in which case they have no business in the business) or it was a deliberate attempt to minimize the subject matter. There may be another explanation, but I sure as heck hope there's some kind of internal review process on freaking textbooks. One way or another there seems to be a fail here.

Are the meds working yet captain? You mean are my limbs vibrating, am I having trouble keeping focus, and did I toss and turn most of the night? Yea... I won't even go into what is going on in my gut. There's a reason I put off going on these meds until there's really no choice. BUT I'm not wheezing anymore and can take a deep breath. That's a relief. It's been building up so gradually I didn't really notice how tight I was. Plus I'm being more (sorry to get gross) productive, so the bad stuff is getting out of my system. I forgot to ask - 3 freaking months with bronchitis?!? How the hell did you manage? I'm going on about two weeks now and am so done. I get home, take a hot shower and crawl into bed. Thanks for asking!

princessleia - I'm not trying to beat you up, but do want to point out for other posters that waiting until senior year of HS to figure out college financial aid may not be the most productive way to go. I know, I know....it's more to do with not wanting to think and deal with the fact that she's going to be leaving home and going away..... I understand - but have to ask: Why is the going away part necessary? I live in a major urban area and besides an excellent community college system, we have several top notch (one of the best in the country) universities within commuting distance. Now, yes - not everyone has that option BUT I'm shocked when people (especially in my area) assume you have to go away to college. Unfortunately, I know several people whose kids have, or are, racking up substantial debt to get the "full college experience" when a great school with their program was sitting right in their back yard. DD is only 12 so it's easy for me to talk, but heck - I'd be thrilled if she choose to go to a local school and have told her so many times.

A lot can change in a year or two, but for me at least, I'll feel much better at least knowing how things work. There are many scholarships out there. She should start applying for any and all for which she may qualify. The $500 and $1K ones can add up. Does the HS have a guidance office that provides assistance with scholarship applications?

I agree, 'immigration' to the US has usually been voluntary, and 'workers' are usually people who agree to do work in exchange for something. The textbook should have devoted some pages to forced immigration - the Africans being forced into slavery, the Native Americans being forced to abandon their property and move to reservations, etc. Sometimes people like to sanitize our history because they think admitting we had some dark periods is somehow un-American. Firstly, as @hickle has already aptly demonstrated, "immigration" is an accurate term. "Workers" is also an accurate term, as the definitions make clear. Neither implies slavery, hence "The Slave Trade" is very plainly announced at the beginning of the caption. Secondly, how do you know the textbook doesn't have pages devoted to the specifics of the slave trade? If your comments are hypothetical, disregard my criticism, but there's no basis for calling this diagram "sanitizing history". You know, I've been giving this some thought (shocking - I know). Remember the saying "The pen is mightier than the sword"? The English language is amazingly imprecise. Context is so key to the overall conversation, that it is easy to manipulate the intended message simply by changing the context in which it is delivered.

So the way the tradition has gone (as I understand it) is you go to the websites and try to answer the question. It doesn't matter (except for bragging rights!) if you get it right or wrong because the kibble still gets donated. So we keep tally here by saying if we got the trivia correct or not. Since we're I'm lazy fewer words will do like this: Woof = yes Meow = no Instead of: I got the dog site trivia question correct - bow at my feet! Curse you cat site for the obnoxiously difficult trivia question that a jeapordy champion couldn't get correct! Most of my emoji's are disabled at work and I suck on my smart phone but it's fun when peeps give smilies or thumbs up as well. So for today: Woof = yes Meow = yes Litter also. (Bow at my feet trivia masters!)

Yep. Same thing every year.
DH, DD and I get 2-3 pounds of crab legs, some pickled herring, and I make hoppin john. Yea, there's other stuff to make it a balanced meal but those are the requirements.
We either play board games or do a movie marathon. If I last until the ball drops we switch channels and do the countdown.
I always have to go to work the next day (year end close) so we keep it safe and low-key. DH and I were almost hit by a drunk amateur one year going the wrong way down a one way and we don't have the desire to tempt fate anymore after that.
Sometimes DD has a few friends over for a sleepover. I have a feeling that will be the case again this year.
Speaking of new year, are there any food traditions associated in your family/culture with the new year?

1. We have forgotten that it's what we can do for our country to make it stronger, not what our country can do for us.
2. Failure is an option, because it's now the government's/society job to provide for you.
3. We have more citizens/politicians interested in bashing this great nation, than working to keep it the strongest in the world.
4. Everyone gets a trophy.

Currently can't spend on the number of books I want, so if the library has them, I wait. Should be coming any time now, since I've been next in line for at least a week. The eLibrary system is what I'm waiting on and it tells you your place in line, don't recall if the actual book version does. ETA: Not sure I'd ever have enough disposable income to buy ALL the books I want. Heck, even if I did I don't have the SPACE for all of them. I have hundreds (if not over a thousand) of books right now! Unless it's a favorite author I get it from the library. If I really like it, then I buy it for my collection.

That seems tight to me. It all depends on if you have a mortgage or not. I use a tool like this to try to extrapolate forward by looking back: www.buyupside.com/calculators/purchasepowerjan08.htmIf you put in 2014 in the first year cell and 1989 in the second (25 years) then put in $5000 for the amount you will see that over 25 years your dollars lost purchasing power by about half. So your $4794 25 years from now is about $2,397 in today's dollars. My utilities are $500 a month. House/tax/home insurance is $2400 a month Car payment/insurance $600 a month Say $1K for groceries and other stuff and we spend about $5K a month to live our admittedly very comfortable lifestyle. That will drop to $3600 when the house gets paid off. $3K if we don't have a car payment (but you do need to replace vehicles even in retirement). So my $3600 will need to be about $7,200 a month 25 years from now to maintain the same standard of living. DH and I will need a little over $2M accumulated to throw that out at a 4% withdrawal rate. I have a timeline and targets and for the most part we're hitting them. If we get SS it's gravy, but I'm not counting on it. That's how I do it. I'm probably wrong and there are better ways but at least I have a plan and an idea of how to make it happen. Thanks for the calculator link. While useful, it's pretty depressing NP. While I do plan on doing some cutting back on spending when retired, I really don't want to be in a position where I have to watch every penny. I know a few retirees who do because they retired too early and didn't have enough saved for a 20+ year retirement. Like I've said, if DH and I get even 75% of what we're supposed to for SS we'll be golden. Still, I'm not counting on it.

Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch. Still not feeling better so I did a first for me - went to the urgent care center a block from my office. I am now officially five of the seven dwarves - Sneezy, drippy, wheezy, crabby and sleepy. More antibiotics, upping my asthma meds, and because I'm wheezy, putting me on Prednisone. I. hate. prednisone. Yea, I know - beats the alternative. I sense a big pot of veggie soup in my future. (sniffle whinnneee - I just want to feel better)

The woman's answer may well be based on an outlook not understood in the West. A lot depends on the culture of her country of origin, and the culture of her family within the home. Dealing with these situations is really difficult and nuanced. In an emergency situation, it's a nightmare! Suffice it to say, if her husband is the type that might beat the living daylights out of her but wouldn't kill her, she might feel very safe at home. An Afghani woman will give you a very different answer to the question than will a Jordanian or Lebanese woman, even though all might be Muslim. I thank everything in the universe that exists that I can't understand this on any level. I acknowledge that it's real, I just can't understand it.

EEEK!!! EEEK!!! I found a bedbug in my office!!! Reported it to building management - they had an inspection/extermination company out. Confirmed an infestation (but not in my office thank GOD!!! - I apparently found a strageler) I've checked my mattresses at home and am keeping an eye open. Anything else I should do? One bedbug? I've never seen a bedbug but aren't they really, really small? Where was the thing and how did you see it? Eeeeewww!! The adult females are about the size of a small brown lentil. When first hatched they're smaller than a pintip. I opened my middle desk drawer to grab a pencil and it was sitting right there in the pencil tray in front. Chicago (like any major city) has a lot of travelers and we periodically get the bedbug story in the newpapers complete with photos. My stupid memory remembers stuff like that and I saw it and thought right away "Oh sh!t". They don't move fast so it was easy to some pencil lead out of a small clear plastic container and scoop the thing up. Took it to office services so they wouldn't think I was messing with them. It probably fell off my clothing after I picked it up somewhere (office services won't tell me where they found the infestation) but I'm still paranoid I brought it from home. EEECK!

I have a bigger issue with the context in which it was used. Look at the caption above the graphic in Tennesseer's link. It states "Patterns in immigration".
To me immigration is a voluntary act. Being forced to move as a slave is not. Yes, how the population distribution by country of origin came to be should be understood. However, it glosses over the circumstances of that distribution and appears to make it seem voluntary.
I believe the word is being used correctly. Immigration can be forced.Huh...never though of it that way but you're right.

To me immigration is a voluntary act. Being forced to move as a slave is not. Yes, how the population distribution by country of origin came to be should be understood. However, it glosses over the circumstances of that distribution and appears to make it seem voluntary.

EEEK!!! EEEK!!! I found a bedbug in my office!!!
Reported it to building management - they had an inspection/extermination company out.
Confirmed an infestation (but not in my office thank GOD!!! - I apparently found a strageler)
I've checked my mattresses at home and am keeping an eye open.
Anything else I should do?

You're an insanely nice person, you know that?
Other than that, I've got nothing for you.
