hi. I spent last weekend at my grandparents' houses in Chicago. At Grandma Mary's, I made my fish dinner, "Tilapia a la Beurre Blanc." The sauce, a French butter and vinegar sauce, didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but Grandma still enjoyed it. Grandma Virginia is doing much better. Her arm's swelling has gone down by 50% from last time I saw her, and I believe that she's been doing better. She's 78 and has been sick with cancer for about 10 years. We pray for her every day.
This week has been uneventful, with the exception of several fairly commonplace fiascos that occured at my homeschool co-op. People can be idiotic sometimes. However, it doesn't really help anybody to remain angry, so I got over any anger that I had pretty fast.

What is the biggest waste of time that you've ever heard of?
What is the best movie that you've seen lately?
In your opinion, what is the best food served on Thanksgiving?
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
The Economy
The Economy
The economy is all very fine
If you think just of yourself,
Although it causes detriment
If you’re someone else
If you’re, say, an African
Living off your corn
When Monsanto walks on in
And treats your work with scorn.
They buy up all the farmland
And utilize the space
To grow their “Genetically Enhanced” poison foods
At frankly frightening rates.
They treat their animals
Like trade goods
That they can kick, stab, and even slaughter
All for the “greater good.”
Their pens are the size of the gym,
But the max. capacity is full at all times,
I once saw a man grab the ear of
And cause a lot of pain to a poor swine.
They say “A loaf of bread is just $1!”
But the poor are starving ‘cause they haven’t a half
And while corporate food giants get richer,
Small family farms get smashed.
So go and buy more cheap, processed foods,
Even though they’ll make you fat
And try to think about the guy
Who gave up his farm, his life, so you could have that.
