  1. People with anger management issues, people who tailgate (because of course that's going to make me go faster, or not), I could go on and on 😬
  2. Have you ever driven in New Jersey? Or New York? Drivers would rather hit your car than let you merge.
  3. My foodstore has Halloween decorations for sale in July!!!!

      Local Dollar Store had Halloween decorations out yesterday. It reminded me of your update, so I had to post. July?!?!

  4. Totally off topic- You all are making me feel better/horrified at the same time about my soon to be 21 year old daughter not driving. Uber is the best/worst thing to be created for her. She is prepared to spend as much money/time on Uber to avoid driving. On topic- I think you are kind caring parents who want the best for your children. It's hard to be on the sidelines and watch them make mistakes. I have been accused of being a helicopter parent and it may be true at times but I have no regrets. Sometimes young adults need a helping hand to guide them. I think you are on the right track and will know when it is time to step back and let him fly or temporarily flop.
  5. All I can recommend is treat them professionally ASAP. My mother did not realize she had bedbugs (or was in denial, her house is antiseptically clean) and had to move out for 30 days to have her home treated. She had to replace her mattress and couch.
  6. This thread made me think of all the times I called. My daughter locked herself in her room. Rental house with huge old doors, took 2 policemen to remove door. I locked my infant son in minivan (I'm still traumatized 17 years later) Neighbor threatening me (turns out he's an alcoholic) My daughter got her fingers stuck in garage door Home alone with very young kids and nearly passing out Lastly, police came to my door late at night nearly breaking it down. I didn't know it was police, just heard pounding so called 911. They verified it was police (who never announced themselves). They were at the wrong house!!!!
  7. I had hallucinations from Percocet. I would rather be in pain then take it.
  8. It seems 99% of the women at my local pool in a two piece are wearing a thong bikini. Even women with rather large dimpled derrières that leave nothing to the imagination. I'm quite open minded but it's more of them than I care to see.
  9. Bob I'm listening to A Street Cat Named Bob about an orange kitty
  10. I think I spent about $2000 on my daughters bed. I bought it when she was 5 and she is about to turn 21. It's a full size. It was beautiful when we bought it and we love it just as much today. It's from Ethan Allen. When she moves out I am fairly certain she will take it with her. I personally would not spend so much on furniture with a kids theme that they will outgrow/get bored with.
  11. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2016/05/11/audible-is-letting-users-send-a-free-audiobook-to-anyone-they-want/?utm_term=.37dd5ef53a68
  12. I never had a finished basement till I moved several years ago. It was my #1 priority. We love it. It was finished beautifully, it's ginormous, no regrets.
  13. Is this the same child that ate the 14 day old hotdog?
  14. I dont expect my daughter will get married before she is 30. She is extremely focused on school (BS Nursing), getting her Masters and PhD. As she tells all interested parties, school is her #1 priority.
  15. I read the book and loved it!!! I am on the waiting list for the audiobook.
  16. No bad language that stands out to me. Some one night stand sequences but not much else. No nudity that I recall.
  17. I just saw it today with my 17 yo son and 20 yo daughter. We all loved it.
  18. Semi popular but I'm not a fan of any of them. During the summer there is a weekly food truck festival. We stopped going. We were in San Francisco several years ago and went to a giant food truck festival. Amazing!!! We ate ourselves silly!
  19. I went shopping for shorts for me yesterday and said any day now the winter stuff would be out. I was at thrift stores, almost no shorts and summer clothes on clearance.
  20. Even if you just go for one night you can use waterpark for 2 days. We have been to one in Poconos many times, but never paid $500/night. My kids love the waterpark but they have the most uncomfortable beds.
  21. You could look into itrackbites app (under $4) It supports older WW programs but I'm not sure if it goes that far back. I have several notebooks worth of tracking from over the years.
  22. Sugar Factory restaurant/candy store Carnival World & Seafood Buffett at Rio hotel (easy cab ride from strip), insanely busy so expect to wait over an hour or go early Dancing lights at Bellagio (free, at night, really cool) Bingo!!! New York New York has a roller coaster There is a hotel downtown with a water slide that goes through a shark tank
  23. Your not alone, I despise flying. I have talked to pilots in the airport and quizzed them about turbulence and stuff. They probably thought I was nuts but it made me feel better. A good book/audiobook, tv show and some unhealthy snacks and the time will fly by.
