I'm reading about geopolitics and the section on China begins thusly. I'm partly amused by the turns of phrase and partly alarmed that I keep running into this US/ China/ South China Sea problem every few days since my daughter was stationed in Guam! 😠😫😭
Worry aside, this chapter on China is fascinating.

bookandbedandtea @C.Perone Thank you! That string of emojis actually does bring me comfort...I think it's time to find a tattoo artist. #MilitaryMom ❤🍀🙏💪 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea lol They do!! And yes, it is! Wish I could send you to my guy, but that'd be one hell of a commute 😁 5y
bookandbedandtea @C.Perone It sure would! I'll ask around and find someone nearby. 😉 5y

My oldest son was a varsity wrestler in high school. If you've ever lived with a wrestler, you know exactly how horrible the shoes, the other equipment--and the wrestler himself-- smelled after an intense workout. We had to roll down the car windows (in the winter!) on the way home from the gym. Today, though, he's graduated and flying helicopters in the Marines. It's funny how you can miss even a bad #scent when it's gone.

LeahBergen Aww! It‘s probably equivalent to the Canadian stench of hockey equipment. 😂 5y
Amiable @LeahBergen I've been told it's also equivalent to football equipment after two-a-days in the late summer heat. 😀 5y
AmyG Boys and sports smell awful. But, yeah, miss those days. 5y

Valink You must be so proud of him! My son was a wrestler too but quit last year after some injuries & a lack of time for the clubs he wanted to do. He was definitely stinky when he finished practices! 5y
BookNerd9906 So relatable. My son was a wrestler now a marine. Wrestlers are the toughest... and the smelliest. #militarymom ❤️🍀🙏💪 5y
Amiable @BookNerd9906 What weight class was he? Mine was a lightweight--103 freshman and sophomore; 112 junior; and 125 senior year! I'm amazed when I look at him now that he was ever that small. 😳 5y
Amiable And also--oorah! Semper fi! 👍🏼👍🏼 5y
BookNerd9906 @Amiable my boy was the same! That‘s too funny. (Both my boys actually, I have twins.) And they‘re both easily 150+ now lol. 5y
BookNAround My daughter was a dancer and had a bag of dance shoes that burned the hair out of my nostrils whenever they ended up in my car. Three years past that, I do really miss it. 5y
Amiable It really is astounding how much you miss it when it's gone, isn't it? @BookNAround @AmyG (edited) 5y
kspenmoll Haha can remember/ my younger brother was a wrestler! 5y
