The Lurker Thread

Mornin' all.

Gonna be a warm one. Have a fence post to replace today and I'm thinking sooner rather than later. Time to get the coffee started!

Got a gravesite funeral to attend today.

OK. Now the question begs.. What did he do to finally cause you to snap?

Lols retired, not that one, husband of my best friend. And he’s been gone for a year but she’s just now ready to let go of his ashes.

Mornin' all.

Not much on tap today. Going to go hurt my wallet at the gas station later. That'll be enough, I think, for today's "to do" list.

Raining this morning.

I bought gas yesterday when we got back from the funeral, my card gave me 10cents off a gallon so it wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Thank you, Joey

We had breakfast with Dh's side, came home and got kiddo to play a game (haven't played board games as a family in forever) of Monopoly (my favorite) and just waiting to go to dinner with my side later.

Yeah, I am a little worried with him driving in the winter, but I can't keep him little forever

I worry about how college will play out for him. With not living on campus, he can't just jump out of bed and head to the library. Or meet up with people for extra help/social things. I don't see him driving there when he doesn't have classes. It all boils down to him having a good plan in place and being disciplined enough to stick to it.

We've talked with him on how big a commitment this is. Especially with fast tracking to his degree. Heavier course load each year. Can't just wing it like in high school. He is a smart kid but doesn't push himself beyond his natural capabilities.

LOL! Dish breaking happens when he turns 18, retired

Hope everyone has a great day!

That... sounds familiar. I coasted through High School. Classes weren't at all challenging. Got to college and I majored in Party 501 (notice I skipped the undergraduate classes and went directly for my master's). 2 semesters later, I'm on probation and I did what I wanted to originally do to begin with and enlisted in the Air Force.

Good afternoon Joey and Sara.

Happy Mother’s Day Sara.

Best of luck to kiddo … is it right to still call him kiddo?

Mornin' all.

Got some much needed rain last night. Thankfully we missed the severe part of all that, but some areas weren't so lucky. Some grapefruit sized hail to the west of us.

 

[daleron]

Good morning retired.

Wow that’s some big hail! Very damaging.
