Openhearted Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Good grief! Police training? Prison guard? It is part of training as a corrections officer. He has hopes of it leading to becoming a police officer. Which I think it will eventually. He is a volunteer fireman too, and he is meeting a lot of people in the field. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he has the right temperment for it, but he's only 10 - could grow into it. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 When ds20 was 10, he was not police officer material. He liked tearing things apart and figuring how things worked. I thought he would be an engineer.;) I was wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I am sitting next to my daughter while she is done school work and I am trying not to laugh and I have tears in my eyes. I wish my body forgot to gain weight too. Actually it couldn't have forgotten because my son was born first and I think it had to be back in place for my daughter to be conceived. Who knows though. Maybe I'm not up on womanly physical issues. :) Well, you know, your body IS getting older and it could have forgotten... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Overachiever. It is when you join to complete sentences with a comma. You can add a conjunction, separate the sentences into two, or use a semi-colon. The semi-colon is my least favorite. I advise a conjunction. I love semi-colons! Semi-colons are cooler than conjuctions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Openhearted Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 What a cool young man. :) Thank you.. I think so too. I just wonder how the next three are going to turn out. Dh and I were just talking about this the other night. From our experiences, there is at least one child in a family that takes a while to mature and become established, aka the "black sheep".:D My mom and dad were the black sheep of their families. Dh has a brother that has finally straightened up at 50, never married, but finally employed. Dh was a "bad boy" which is what attracted me.:D It is a beautiful blessing watching children grow into young adults. However, I would love to wrap them in bubble wrap, and never let them out of the house. #randomthoughts #poorgrammar #loveymychildren 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I love semi-colons! Semi-colons are cooler than conjuctions. For Renai: Semi-colons are the best! Better than any of the rest! Punctuation should be fun! Lots of fun for everyone! Forget the comma and conjunction! Semi-colons are the winning function! #punctuationpoetry #thestruggleisreal 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) One time when one kid was little, like four, I told her we were having "special dinner", which meant that everyone got to choose their own frozen dinner! (said with great excitement) About halfway through the meal, she said, "This isn't special." That's what your prizes reminded me of.

Tsuga Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My chiropractor says his goal is to never see me again. Our appointments keep getting further and further apart. He gives me exercises to do at home so that I can strengthen myself without him. My mom's too. She only went once in the last three years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ikslo and Texasmama, believe me, I'm trying. I've already sent my second email to her to give me an incomplete so I can do a missing assignment I had started in week three. I also said I cannot work and do that program another 10 weeks. What I didn't say is I'd quit my job before I quit the program. It's in her hands now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I might be doing "The Leftovers" tomorrow (Tuesday). I submitted quite late, because two other background actors who are staying with me and arrived here around 9 p.m., said they were begging for more people. Tomorrow and Wednesday are the last two days of filming for Season 2. Waiting for an e-mail. Call time will probably be around o'dark hundred. o_0 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I made brats and kartofelpuree, home grown tomatoes on the side, for Oktoberfest and football watching and I had three young adolescents and two kids in the house and THE TEENS ATE MICROWAVE BURRITOS THEY BOUGHT AT 7-11! Now I have a bazillion brats left over. Dear Step-Son, bless his heart, ate the bangers and mash on top of the burritos. He's going to be 6'4", mark my words. This kid is going to be a giant. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Can you put it in the fridge until tomorrow? And then assign it to your daughter to finish? I haven't even peeled the husk off the tomatillos. I was not happy with dd because I asked her to pick the remaining tomatillos that had fallen off the ... whatever it is called and then water the garden (raised bed). She did neither. Dh said that she told him there weren't any good ones left. So, while she was away singing, I, dh, and little dd went out to the garden with a flashlight and picked tomatillos. A nice, goodly amount. About 1/5 of a paper grocery bag worth. Which is a lot considering the size of tomatillos. So, I'll make salsa tomorrow. Er, later today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Oh, and when we went to the store, the only size jars they had were quarts and half pints. I bought more half pints.
