As much as we all kvetch about MSNBC these days, be thankful it's there
I have been without it since June 30...and will not have it back until July 16th.
We are in Kent Washington visiting our new (and only) grandchild, and the Extended Stay hotel we are in, has THREE FOX channels, TWO ESPNs and NO MSNBC.
It is especially grim to only have CNN as an option for news..
It was almost painful watching them stumble through the mis-information yesterday when that plane crashed.. They had nothing in their teleprompters and had to vamp their way through it..
But, thankfully, I still have this place to come to for information
We are spending as much time with our son & the family as possible, but we are also polite guests who do not want to hover over them 24/7.
Little Bridgette is at the stage when babies start to fear "strangers" , so we have purposefully "held back" a bit so she would not fear us..
She is irresistibly cute though 
= new reply since forum marked as read
She's a little heartbreaker.
Why are you even turning on the TV? We'll fill you in later...
living at her parents' place (which is rather small) while they try to re-group financially. We met them (her folks) for the first time the other night, when they invited us for dinner.
I still have vivid memories of when MY mother-in-law would swoop in and take over, so we are being totally compliant with THEIR schedules and of course Miss B's schedule..
Our son is off on Tues-Wed-Thu , so those days we spend a lot of time with the three of them, but on the other days, we have been doing a bit of sightseeing.. Tomorrow we are headed for Port Townsend..
Yesterday was the first time she did not wince when one of us picked her up.. By the time we have to go home, she'll probably be comfortable with us.. such is life..
