Mornin REOville! Kind of hoping today will be as slow as yesterday was, got some stuff done around the house while waiting on files. Got new pictures of my beautiful granddaughter in the mail. Can't wait to see her in a few months! She even drew a pic of Chech the cat and wrote Meow all over the card. One of the underwriters in our old KC office is retiring, so we are having dinner together with the group this evening, I'm happy we will be getting together, that is the only drawback to working from home, you miss the people you used to see every day (well, most of them anyway). Hope all have a great Thursday!

Been waitin for this post glad you made it home safe darlin'...............no milk run today:facepalm:

Morning Bill! The drive was not too bad. My street is ice covered. I mean the snow is gone and just ice and slick. But....somebody cleared my parking space and the driveway! That was very nice!

I will go for milk on Saturday. Not taking a chance today on the country roads to get there.

I am very sore. All that shoveling snow off my van and scraping, and the twisting and turning. But it is done for now that is the main thing!

Have a great day darlin'! Take care of YOU!!!

Good Morning Ray! Sounds like a great job! Buying a house is such a huge step. It really helps to have a good agent that cares about more than his/her pay. Good luck with the sale!

Good morning everyone!

Thought for the day:

Happiness is the only good. The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here. The way to be happy is to make others so.
~Robert Green Ingersoll

Good Morning Jamie!!! I love that quote!

Thank you for taking the time to gather quotes for us each day. It really is nice to see them and they often make me think a little!

Good morning, Reovillains!

I had a productive morning. Went to doctor's office, gave them a fasting blood sample (had missed my last two appointments to go in and bleed into a tube), saw the doctor, got a doctor's note for work and dropped it off (off today and tomorrow, screw 'em, I r sick), went to drugstore, came home with Levofloxacin and Methylprednisolone (say that five times fast). I may supplement these with vodka & oj and/or beer.

AND... since y'all are my buds, I'll go ahead and let you know what's going on with my family. My 14 year old stepson is not becoming the man we've raised him to be. He makes horrible choices, brings home horrible grades, and sometimes shows severe disrespect towards his mother. No disciplinary measures we've imposed have had any effect on his attitude and behavior. His mom won't let me drag him into the backyard and whup his ..., even though I've assured her I could do so without leaving any actual or visible signs of injury. We've sought assistance through various channels and have been dissapointed over and over. Recognizing that he has considerable intelligence and ability and the potential for a bright future, we feel it necessary to intervene before he ruins that future for himself. On January 8, he will be placed at the West Texas Boy's Ranch in San Angelo. He'll stay there for a minimum of one year. He has already been interviewed and accepted into their program and they believe they can help him. I have very mixed and conflicted feelings about sending him away, but if he will accept their help and get his mind right before he grows up to be an angry, irresponsible, young adult, it will be well worth it. Our family life has been way too chaotic for too many years due to his malfunctions and our inability to correct them. It's time to do something drastic. Val and I are at peace with this decision, even though it's heartbreaking. I'm not asking for any peptalks, commentary, or even approval. I'm just sharing with my Reo family because I've come to appreciate and respect most of the regulars who post here.

Thanks for letting me vent & share. :)

TL;DR: I got some good drugs (legal) and have two days at home to kill. :laugh:

Now that anti-biotic and the steroids should kick your infection out!

Thank you for feeling comfortable enough to share something like you have with the Reo family. As you know we pull together when need presents itself and provide a uniform front, locked arm and arm to step ahead with you and your family. You know that we are here anytime you need to vent or share. If ever you need a shoulder, or and ear "the family" is glad to help.

I can't find my Woodvil!!! Didn't want to take it on my trip so I removed the batts and put a nice coat of Howards on it and put it somewhere safe. Hate it when I hide things from myself!

On a good note the Christmas tree is down. Most decorations are packed away and my house is almost normal again.

Now I just wanna vape from my Woody and to take a jacuzzi.:cry:

You have had to make some hard choices Trip, but it sounds like you and your wife have done everything in your power to help your stepson, and it sounds like you have made your choices from concern and caring. I hope he is able to get some perspective on why he continues to make bad choices and can learn from that perspective. I am sure it will be difficult, but know that I am pulling for all of you!
