Do not make me your mother today. Show some leadership. You are not a guest!!! X_X
After all these years, how is it you can’t go grocery shopping without my input? When I go, I shop for the family. I know what you eat and I buy accordingly, along with things for me and for both of us. The bread you buy is bread you like. Where are my favorites? Milk? Lunch meat? Fruit? Veg? Bread? It’s all back at the grocery store, where I will go tomorrow for my food. I’m tired of this.
Yes, the job market where your recent college graduate kid lives is saturated with people with higher degrees in that field who are so starved for work that they are more than happy to take the jobs your kid would otherwise expect to be a candidate for. But you also need to accept that your kid is on your couch instead of making money at one of the other jobs available in town because your kid never had a summer or school year job while in college. It is all well and good that your family had other priorities like travel and good grades. However, the kids who did have summer and school year jobs at least had some work experience to put on their resumes. They might be back at Starbucks again, but they are bringing home a paycheck and possibly even being encouraged to move to a mangement track. When a job does open up for someone in your kid’s field, who is going to get that offer? I don’t think it will be sofa kid.
The division of opinion on a national, regional and local level in recent years is really beginning to wear me out. It makes me sad, angry and leaves me feeling hopeless; I find myself becoming a hermit because I just don’t want to deal with people. Sigh.
Not only was her body found, but it was found by children playing in the woods, not something this dedicated teacher would ever have wanted. How horrible. So sorry for her family, friends, and students. And the poor kids who found her.
Like drinking too much wine, continuing to read that thread keeps giving me a headache. Yet, I keep going back. When will I learn?!?!
I love grits with cheddar, parmesan, bit of dijon mustard and garlic powder…
Practice scores well below cutoff: totally fine.
Practice scores well above cutoff: totally fine.
Practice scores all within the historical range of cutoffs: ugh.
Goggle is your friend! It’s easier to do a simple Google search than to start a thread with a question that can be easily answered by Google! This is an important life skill for college bond students!
Trust me when I tell you breaking a jar of teriyaki sauce right on the ceramic tile floor right over the floor vent is NOT a good thing.
Living in US as a foreigner is like watching a forest fire across a river that gets thinner and thinner everyday…
Warning bells start going off when a client, a layman, says he’s doing his own construction drawings and then tells us he went to MIT. May be a difficult client.
This morning’s scary call from the ER was about the normally “safe” kid. She was running and was hit by a driver/car who went through a red light. Fortunately, this happened a block from the Vanderbilt ER. Not how any of us wanted to start the day, but she will be OK.
When in the heckin’ heck am I supposed to bake two dozen treats? I’m calling my mom tonight to see if she’ll do it for me 
Reading about the limousine accident gave me the chills. Just no words to express that sick feeling. What was supposed to be a celebration turned into the worst nightmare. Life is so precious.
So I told you I was doing something and asked you not to share it with anyone. And then you went and shared it anyway. And now you claim Oh well, it doesn’t matter anyway . . .
Well, it matters plenty to me, fella. You’re an idiot. And I’m really pissed.
You just can’t fix stupid.
You’re breaking his heart.
I’m disintegrating.
I don’t want to wish time away, especially since it seems to be gaining speed, but I am so excited and anxious to know what you’ll be doing next.
