Just a general pop in thread

That's a bummer! You never know from one year to the next what's going to happen. two years ago we had a ton of kids come by and not enough candy so we had to shut our door and turn off the porch light so no one else would show and last year we loaded up on candy, but it rained so we barely had anyone. This year we bought a ton of candy, but because of the issue my sister has been dealing with all week, she didn't feel like dealing with trick or treaters, so we kept all our lights off and now we have way too much candy in the house.
I posted about this on twitter but not on FB, but my sister is head of a trauma response team for Niagara county which means when something really big or horrible happens concerning children like a death or suicide at a school or school shooting etc... Her and her team will go out and help the school community deal with the tragedy. This week a women brought her 4th grade boy and her five month old baby girl to Niagara Falls and first she pushed him in and then she jumped in there with the baby. Terrible! I mean you want to kill yourself, fine go ahead but to murder your own children is disgusting. I guess the father was in court trying to get full custody of both the kids. Everyone is still trying to figure out what the hell happened.

Oh my god Mare, that is so awful. Who would do such a thing to their own kids. If she wanted to kill herself then just leave the kids out of it. That must be so awful to deal with.
Another awful thing...I woke up this morning to see that Trump seems to have won! I feel bad for you all

Thanks, Steph! I'm totally numb right now. I'm sure I'll get mad later but right now I'm just really disappointed in this country. We just elected a dictator. Totally unacceptable. I'm staying off all news stations and most social media today. This is insane! I'm just happy I don't have to go to school anymore. I don't think I would be able to mask my anger. I'm sorry you have to deal with it, Meg. Hopefully your kids won't be all cocky about it. That's what happened in my schools after Hillary lost. Their parents were all over the moon happy and as a result, they were too.
Carter-Orange:
It's all over the news here about Trump, the whole of morning TV has been dedicated to it yesterday and today (I watch Good Morning Britain while getting ready for work and had to switch off). It must be awful to see it all over your social media as well as TV :(

I haven't watched any real TV since election night. I have refused. Just seeing anything about him right now makes me physically sick. I have automatically snoozed everyone who was celebrating him winning on FB and none of the people I follow on Twitter was happy about him winning. I can deal with the bitching, not the celebrating. I have had to change my entire morning routine because I would watch the local news from 6:30 to 7 and then at 7 the Today Show but I just can't do it. I literally had Bluey on for about 30 minutes this morning. Those dogs are weirdos. Not as bad as the Charmin bears but I did find myself googling whether Bluey was a boy or a girl because I thought it was a boy and its sister was a girl, and they kept taking baths together which I found oddly disturbing at 6:30 in the morning. LOL
