Yes, two whole years. The paperwork to get the Eagle Scout project approved is progressing slooooooooooowly. It would progress more quickly, I believe, if he could hand-write it all, instead of doing it on the computer with the myriad distractions of iTunes, YouTube, and whatever else he’s got on. He’s probably spent 40 hours “working on stuff for my project,” and maybe 4 or 5 actually doing something productive. But his dad just lets him sit there, hour after hour. I go to bed.

Our Jake had bald patches on his tail. It was a fungal infection. Get some athlete’s-foot type ointment and apply it on the tails, a couple times a day for at least 3 weeks. Jake’s cleared up and the fur grew back, eventually.

Won't work. In my house, we live by a rule that my great-grandfather taught me:

One cat; one tail.

IMO (I'm a genetic Texan; it wouldn't be right for me to type "IMHO"), you're doing right by letting your son work on "stuff' for his project at his own pace.

Trust me, you don't want my screed on Eagle Scout projects/parental co-opting/most fourteen-year-old Eagles. I can screedificate at length.
