It's like a train wreck. Can't look away. Can't believe how anyone could be so... stupid, either.
Stupid is as stupid does...
Stupid is funny... sometimes...
Or at the very least he darn well needs to learn to cover it up better. He will need a lot better lying skills than that to succeed in engineering (or whatever tech field he wanted to do at VT).
Thankfully. How else would we explain lie'brals...
Heh...engineering is not even on his radar screen. He wants to do video production. Of course, Mom and Dad have told him that our alma mater would be a better option (we have a training ground for interns for the Olympics).
He wants to go to Tech to play football. It's a dream we're willing to let him have. And we're even willing to work with him to get there.
I dunno. Maybe he realizes (like Mom and Dad do) that it's a long shot and this is his way of making it not happen...
Video production? ooo that takes more refined lying skills than engineering.
Prayer request time...
Nana is NOT doing well in the nursing facility. She cannot move, is in constant pain and today there is a "redness" in both of her feet. Wife is trying to figure out what to do. Nana may have to go back to the hospital, but if it's not an emergency, Medicare won't pay for the transport and we're simply over committed tomorrow for being able to take her...not that we could move her anyway...
To make matters worse, the sister here is having "issues" and has only been to see Nana once in a week...
So...I don't know what all this means.
I cannot say this at home (or outloud anywhere), but since this happened I have had a great sense of dread that this is the beginning of the "great decline." I hope I am wrong, but I wonder if she will "ever" come home.
That's a tough situation to deal with. My prayers are with you on that.
Prayers Corin. Was only a year and a half ago I had that silent thought about Grama. I have had a no-tears day of good remembrance today. Today would have been her 87th birthday. :-)
Thanks, both of you.
That's a good sign WN. (((WN))). I know it hasn't been easy.
I dunno. Papa fooled us for years. So, she may well pull out of this just fine.
We'll need a picture when you get home!
ROTFL!! I can see how that would be effective!!
She, and you and Mrs S. are in my prayers.
Thank you.
In other news, wife is already moving ahead with Jr's "issues."
She told him "We're not going to go thru that again this year. And, if that's the way you're gonna be, you'll have to find somewhere else to live."
dang, she's good.
Don't know why I never realized that Grama and my Mama were so close in age. Mama would have been 85 on Aug. 20th., but she was celebrating in heaven for sure, as your Grama is!
She sure is!! It's good to lay it on the line right now, before things get too far along.
