3 day weekend

[Charlie Lyman]

i took Friday, Saturday and today off so I could get out of town and let my mind rest.
I ended up doing a small job Friday before we left and on the way home I got a call for a dog crap emergency. I'll go do that one tonight.
I'm not complaining, because I love how busy I've been, but I think once my wife graduates and goes back to work I'm ordering a second van. Time to get my sons out on their own.

What truckmount system are you currently running, and have you considered Sapphire Scientific truckmounts?

 

[Desk Jockey]

That would be a good move for you Charlie. Give you some relief and empowering your sons for their growth.

I have a Rage.
So, yes.

 

[Mikey P]

Good move.

Unless the kid is a brain, its hard to beat the service vacation..

He is a brain. He graduated high school with an AA.

 

[hogjowl]

Yeah.

We all did.

Our kids are Einsteins.

You'll do well here.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Not I. I had trouble with focus.

Well not really trouble, I was just focused on the wrong thing.

I just got back from a mini vacation too. Went to the desert on Thursday...It is pretty funny how worked up some people get when you tell them that you won't be able to be there until the second or third week of August. But whatever.... I had a nice time....

High school took me 7 years. I didn't really like going. But, I did finally get it done.

I never took education serious. Never studied, never took a book home. Got to college and wasn't prepared for it. Tried going back several times as I got older but still couldn't manage my way through it. Working, being a parent and a student was more than I was capable of.

Many people swing it with the same and they have my respect, I couldn't.

 

[SamIam]

The thing is with kids as parents the expectation is your going to school. Like college. I have a 27 year old RN with a bachelors degree. A school teacher working on her masters. My son just got hired at Northrop and has been in college.

We never asked if you want to we always stressed your going.

 

[SamIam]

I was never pushed that direction

 

[Zee]

I was never pushed that direction

We know Sam... Just looking at your "your and you're" specifics, gives it away.





Chill chill chiiiiiilllll just yanking your chain.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I pushed them all. The oldest got one year and just told me "dad I don't care for it, and I'm just wasting money ". The middle didn't even try, now she regrets it. The youngest will be Juniors this year.

English grammar was taught to us in Jr. High. Hopefully College isn't so dumbed down that they are teaching this in College but it wouldn't surprise me either. Mr Miller knows the difference as well.

The oldest got one year and just told me "dad I don't care for it, and I'm just wasting money

With Student loan debt and very few jobs for the ridiculous degrees most are graduating with, your oldest did you a favor. Your not you're.

You said it Doc!

All my kids went to a community college with very little debt. My school teacher acquired more debt in UC Bakersfield her master will add the most debt.

Still she'll make 65k a year after she gets her master with retirement and full medical.

My nurse makes that now and owes less 10k in debt. Full medical and retirement too.

 

[Mikey P]

You have a nurse?

Does she admit your magic mushrooms?

 

[hogjowl]

Why? Do they need hospitalization?

 

[SamIam]

 

[SamIam]

My nurse and teacher with my niece camping.

I don't drink don't smoke what do you do?

Must be something inside.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

They obviously have a beautiful mother.

"Boys, you are all going to college. I can't afford it, so figure it out."

[SamIam]

Not sure about other states

But my kids all took advantage of this.

 

[SamIam]

All kids should apply all they can do is say no. But by the off chance you get aid woohoo.
