Announcment Updates
Hey all,
It's been a while since my last update so I figured I should make a post. Its been a tough couple days, my grandfather is in the hospital and is in a bit of trouble, and my family has been on call to take care of my grandmother with Alzheimer's. He's worked himself thin taking care of her, so it's taken up almost all our time. I went around 3 days of rotating before I saw my dad. So once this settles down (hopefully this weekend) I'll take care of everything. I'm on mobile right now so all announcements and cabinet shakeups will be announced when I get home. I hope to have a q And a session within the next few days, and announcements regarding our international agenda as well.
Thanks, turk

Hope you and you're family are able to get through this. I lost a grandparent a year ago tomorrow, while obviously you still have your grandfather, these types of situations are made worse by the holiday season. My thoughts will be with you and your family.

A party full of alts.

This is why I don't post on the main sub. Right here. In a nutshell.

u/oath2order Dec 17 '15
This seriously does ask a very important question: Why be a party if you don't post on the main sub?

u/SakuraKaminari Dec 17 '15
I don't, others do.

I'm getting no answers? Because people slightly criticize you? Get over it, mate.

This is not the place for this kind of discussion, but hopefully we will be soon. We met all the requirements over a month and a half ago, we're just waiting for the mods to decide that we're 'stable'.

u/Hormisdas Secrétaire du Trésor (GOP) Dec 17 '15
Why isn't this the place for "this kind of discussion?" There isn't gonna be any other applicable thread that I can anticipate, so I figured you'd be the right one to ask.

u/SakuraKaminari Dec 17 '15
I'd like to be respectful of Turk and his family.
And I guess, why not just PM or something though?

u/Hormisdas Secrétaire du Trésor (GOP) Dec 17 '15
I was just curious; it didn't warrant a message. Not only that, it answers the question for several people like this, instead of just me.

u/SakuraKaminari Dec 17 '15
Haha well hopefully it'll change soon so I'd prefer to not announce it :P

That must be tough, focus on what's important right now, because everything else can wait. Best wishes for your grandparents, and happy holidays!

I hope your grandfather and grandmother improve. However, also be aware that you can utilize the 25th Amendment when you feel that you can't be active for periods of time.
