I could not figure out why anyone would object to Charlotte's Web.

Jane · « **Reply #152 on:** September 30, 2023, 03:24:46 PM »

I am shaking my head at the reason.

"Charlotte's Web, that children's story of friendship, respect and devotion, published in 1952 and a favorite of waves of generations of children since then, was banned in 2006 in a school district – on religious grounds. Some parents felt that only humans should have the ability to speak."

Good afternoon.

My DH was running errands today, so I took the opportunity to tidy up my half of the bedroom.

Another bag of trash. My trash can is already filled for the week. If I stuff it too full, things get stuck at the bottom and half of the can doesn't empty.

Happy Gotcha day to Annabelle and Elmore.

Congrats to DR JOHN G on his new millstone.

I am enjoying the first Saturday of the off season by basically doing NOTHING.

The neighbor across the street put out a nice white folding table - about six feet long....FREE.

So I wandered over and brought it to my house and put it in the carport.

The only problem is that it does NOT fold in the middle, so I am hoping it will fit into the PT Cruiser so that I can take it to the theeder sometime.

They are predicting an El Nino winter for Indiana....higher than normal temperatures and lower than normal precipitation.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #162 on:** September 30, 2023, 03:52:47 PM »

I'll take that.

That's a lot of trash. I should probably do the same thing.

Trashing is easier than finding the energy to donate items

If not, do you know another theeder member with a truck?

I attempted to find out what percentage of children's books have talking animals but couldn't.

Jane · « **Reply #171 on:** September 30, 2023, 04:45:00 PM »

I wonder if these people also banned cartoons.

We had a very nice lunch with our friend and her family.

Jane · « **Reply #173 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:17:34 PM »

We hadn't seen her daughters in awhile and felt great to see them and get big hugs.

The nine year old LOVED her birthday present.

Jane · « **Reply #175 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:19:02 PM »

A super soft Squishie.

Jane · « **Reply #176 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:19:25 PM »

We gave her a second Squishie she didn't love as much

Jane · « **Reply #177 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:19:56 PM »

That's ok as I gave her mother the gift receipts for both toys.

Jane · « **Reply #178 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:21:26 PM »

I bought the first birthday card that looked decent, really not paying attention to the details as we were in a hurry.

Jane · « **Reply #179 on:** September 30, 2023, 05:21:43 PM »

It was colorful and large, worked for me.
