73349 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) You might have spent a lot of time with young kids when your criticism of other drivers starts to sound like... You are in my personal space. Please choose a different lane. The arrow shows what you can do from the lane you picked. If you are disappointed in your choice, please obey the arrow anyway and try again in a few minutes. We do not have room for you over here right now. Who can tell me what the word YIELD means? The red dot up there means it is not your turn yet. Other drivers are having their turn right now. You will know it's your turn when you see green. We will all have more fun driving if you do not try to do other things at the same time. Please focus until you're all the way there. Now, are you showing me your best parking today? It looks like you had trouble staying inside the lines. Edited July 27, 2022 by 73349 1 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Speaking of Irish Dance my kids had their dance showcase tonight--all but my two year old were dancing. Unfortunately I didn't see much of it because Mr. Two is terrified of people and refuses to go into any room with people. Immediate family is not People, we are his Guys and acceptable company. All other hominids are highly suspicious. Fortunately their teacher videoed everything; dd15 and her friends were laughing hilariously over their four hand (four person) dance because they apparently got lost somewhere along the way and were making stuff up on the fly--while trying to look all synchronized and planned. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Awix was born on the 12th. But I'm sure John remembers correctly. A dog farted on my bed. Matt says 13th. He was due on the 14th. The due dates are why I don't know their birthdays.

Slache Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 He did not believe he gave people the wrong name. He does it because he's nervous meeting new people. At his last job a coworker liked Starbucks but couldn't drive so MattMarkBen drove him for free coffee. He was so irritated that they always got his name wrong. Finally one day it clicked and now he'll catch himself doing it. He calls me the wrong thing introducing me to people as well. Usually Rebekah, but sometimes Leah or Lisa. And sometimes his mom's, sister's or grandma's name. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Good morning! Dd16 is on her way to take the ACT. Please pray for her. She's nervous. I told her this is her first "let's get to know each other" test attempt so no pressure, but I'm not sure it helped. She took an ACT prep class all year and does online prep, but her brain doesn't work in a "standardized test-friendly" way, so we'll see. Our hope is that she can score high enough to take a CC dual enrollment class in the fall. Today is our 28th anniversary. We are going out to dinner at a nearby restaurant. The kids had a fairly successful time busking last night - they each made $21 in an hour of playing. Not their highest earnings, but very respectable. You all will have to remind us of the St. Patrick's Day movies to watch next year. Coffee! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
