Yep.


Naked David Bowie... Something tells me that'd been more popular 40 years ago.

glad to hear it. Things went sideways at last daycare, yes?

Indeed. Many things went sideways.

Spoiler:
Sometimes we'd pick him up and he'd have a dirty diaper and a rash because of it. Then there were the daily "tattler" sheets telling us how he did that we weren't getting. And there was this time we picked him up after they had just come in from playing outside - his little hands were so cold they were hurting him because the idiot "teachers" neglected to put his gloves on him. Any complaints only resulted in temporary improvements.

The final nail in the coffin was at Halloween when we spoke with our neighbors. Their older daughter had been attending the same daycare. They pulled her out after she came home having learned some...not nice words.

Incidently, our neighbors are the ones who told us about the new place we have Charlie, as that's where they sent their daughter as well.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! It's a cold morning here in Philthadelphia. Had to cleanse the car of its layer of frost. I think the boy got a kick out of me scraping away.

Scarab Sages

Speaking of the boy, he was a bit cranky this morning. Especially when we dropped him off at daycare. He did not like being left behind.

So, they are now talking about not allowing personal cell phones in the work areas here in my office.

Stoopid government.

It's all good though. Just means that when I'm not in the office and they call me on my cellphone, I won't answer it.

I keep a bottle of Heet spray in my car for icy mornings. Have to be a little careful with it as it fogs up sometimes after clearing the ice away, but it goes away after ~5 minutes (a little quicker if you leave your windshield wipers on) and it's much less annoying than scraping.

And maybe I'll have to take some periodic breaks to check my cell in whatever location they decide we'll have to leave them.

Hmmm, I like this idea. Thank you, my good man. When the zombiepocalypse happens, we'll eat you last.

Funny how dentist stories popped up earlier. Guess where I'm heading later today? No, I will not try biting thru the torture device they delight in using.

I am flattered you seek to imitate me. Be sure to water and feed it and shampoo it regularly. You goatee will be a long lived and boon companion should you do this.

Well, in truth, the last straw really just solidified our determination to pull him out of that place, AND gave us an alternative place from someone we could trust.


Happy Birthday Sabine! Tschuss!

I just got got done with post rang weapon maintenance. Tim's oldest boy got to shoot for the fist time. He did pretty well, and he even shot my 12 gauge.

It still touches my heart to see a Dad at the range with his son for the first time.

I lament that I never got this chance, never even held a gun until well after moving to AZ for college, where some of the folks from the church out there were kind enough to take me to the firing range and let me use their weapons.

I still have the target sheet from that visit, somewhere in all my stuff.

It's a remarkable bonding experience! :)

It's a "your cell phones have cameras and we don't want to risk that you might take pictures of restricted info and transmit it via phone even though you have a background check and are trusted with such documents" kind of thing.

when I started in 92 walkman where prohibited, because maybe they could have had a record function and than you could use them as a dictaphone and speak documents into them!! o.O

as the information age marched on, they slowly gave up I guess, I could walk anything in Nd out of the company today

I have to go grocery shopping. Bleh. I hate grocery shopping.

But I did spend the morning reading, so that's not as bad. Just finished Kushiel's Dart. Normally a 900 page book would be too long for me and my attention would start to wander, but not this one. I couldn't put it down right up until I was done. can't wait to start reading the next one. :)


My kids are 9 & 13, and they still get a kick out of me having to scrape frost off the windows in the morning.

Of course, in LA we don't even get frost very often, so I guess it's a 'cool cause it's rare' thing,...
;P

Not so rare here. My son goes nuts in a bad way about it. He can't get into the car until I've finished scraping the windows because the sound bothers him so much. And the last thing I want to do is get him all stressed out and upset right before dropping him off at school.

That reaction to that particular book sounds peculiarily familiar to me...


Hope you have a lovely evening, Sabine.

(well and everyone else too)

This is probably impolite, and everyone is entitled to look the way they want, but... you might want to consider a shave... ;)

Ouch, my back, my backbone, my muscles, my throat, my head. Damn it, will stop be painful if I start to worship papa Nurgle?

I suppose it could be worse. My friend with the EE PhD has to do an incident report if he steps out, checks his phone, and accidentally brings it back into the secure area. Of course that's a TS/SCI environment.

Walked into class. Student immediately flipped out and remembered me as subbing for two of her teachers last year. Other student declared me awesome on the grounds that I recognized a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends joke and was wearing argyle socks.

I'll take it.


Huzzah! Marathon get.


Back from the dentist. I think they removed my wallet while they were working. From the inside. Ugh.

Explains why I heard jackpot bells whenever they drilled and saw them high fiving so much.

There are times when I'm glad I fell ass-backwards into inventing AM BARBARIAN.

Today is one of those times.
