<p>There is some good news here. For those who remember my D’s friend who was accused of an awful crime and insisted he was innocent… well 21 months later they have decided to drop the charges. WHY it took 21 months for them to figure out they had no case, I do not know. Justice delayed is justice denied - especially if you’re falsely accused.</p>
<p>As for “House Hunters,” H is addicted to House Hunters International. S texted me from his beach trip with friends: “Dad would be proud. We came in from the beach and now we’re watching House Hunters International.” H and I get really mad when people on House Hunters complain about paint colors or carpet colors. Really? Do they not know that paint is cheap and carpet has to be replaced periodically? :p</p>
<p>coffee is on! I don’t get to say that often!</p>
<p>Thanks for the good wishes for DW. She appreciative, if somewhat :o that I put it out there. </p>
<p>Re Rocky and Bullwinkle - the adult humor embedded in that cartoon could be pretty high falutin. in one episode they are in the arabian desert somewhere and a jewel encrusted model ship falls out of the sky and hits Bulwinkle in the head. Rocky picks it up and identifies it as the “Ruby Yacht of Omar Kahyyam” :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Long time no post. It’s been about 2 weeks since my niece’s emergency, which coincided with graduation week. Things are calmer now. Commencement is over, party cleaned up, house guests gone, and we’re just happy to be getting back to normal. </p>
<p>I’ll try to read over the last few pages and catch up on all your news. In the meantime, {{hugs}} and applause to everyone who needs them or deserves them. </p>
<p>Going to see my parents today for their 60th wedding anniversary. </p>
<p>Forgot to say that ds1 gets the splints out of his nose today. He’s excited about that. I can’t wait to see if it’s going to help like I had hoped.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the hugs and positive vibes for all who need them … that would be me today. Its a long story but I’ve kind of painted myself into a corner and have done all I can to help myself get out of it. The rest is up to other people. It’s pretty high stakes and it’s wearing on my mind.</p>
<p>YDS - happy anniversry to your parents. 60 years is really something special!</p>
<p>All my chicks are back in the roost! I picked up S2 last night. Halfway finished! He feels like he was in the A minus range, so we will see when the grades come out. Move out was very painless. I stayed with the car and it took him two loads with the cart to move everything. Now everything is in a pile in the house. I will give him a day to recover and then he needs to do some serious organizing.</p>
<p>Coffee is on me this morning as I got up at 4:15AM to catch an early flight home!!!</p>
<p>YDS Congrats to your parents, but please dont let DW know that she may be stuck with me for 60+ years. :eek:</p>
<p>Footballmom Hope you make it out of the corner.</p>
<p>Psychmomma Congrats on the grades. A word of warning, you havent lived until you have tried to troubleshoot your kids Macbook network problem while she is in Europe just wait!</p>
<p>P56 I hate to break the news to you, but by definition, the cats name is Voldemort. ;)</p>
<p>Re: House Hunters So, Im not the only one who yells at people for picking the wrong house, whining about the most mundane things, or just seem far too whiny in general? On multiple occasions I have thought, Thank God I am not married to her. (Im sure the feeling would be mutual ;)) I think that you have to be a 10 on the Whiny Scale just to get on the show.</p>
<p>DW and I are scheduled to be bad parents and go to the beach w/o our kids for our anniversary this weekend. We think that D2s eyes must be better. Using DWs logic, I havent heard from her so she must be OK. However, she did finally hear from D2 last night and score one for DW, she got a You were right from D2! DW told D2 to be sure to not just work while in DC, but take time to get out, meet people, etc. The word from D2 is You were right I literally have something planned every night for the next 2 weeks. (If she says literally, rest assured she means literally as she is quite literal :rolleyes:) You gotta take those You were rights when you can get them. Im off to take a nap on the plane and just keep repeating to myself Tonight youll be on the beach Tonight youll be on the beach Have a wonderful weekend all!!!</p>
