My mom still gets paper bills and does the maths on the envelope - addition, subtraction, long division - to work out what she needs to pay and when.  Kickin' it old school...despite barely making the Boomer cutoff! 

 

 

👍 I like your mom's style and I do mostly the same, except for the long division.  BUT it seems I'm older than your mom 😮

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving is not for you.

Someone stole my dictionary. Now I am at a loss for words.

If Apple made a car, would it have windows?

Ban shredded cheese. Make America Grate Again .

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Deport him and you never have to feed him again.

I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.

I went bald but I kept my comb.  I just couldn't part with it.

My name is not Richard Edward but my friends still call me DickEd

If your pet has a bladder infection, urine trouble.

"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow."

I fired myself from cleaning the house. I didn't like my attitude and I got caught drinking on the job.

My kid has A.D.D... and a couple of F's

Carrots improve your vision.  Alcohol doubles it.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks " Is this stool taken?"

Breaking news.  They're not making yardsticks any longer.

Hemorrhoids?  Shouldn't they be called Assteroids?

If life gives you melons, you might be dyslexic.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that may be why.

Dogs can't take MRI's but Cat scan.

Thrilling Monday report, see man:

 

Did not leave the casa all day, ensconced we man.

Embedded ourself far too late on Sunday night and then couldn't zzz, late and no zzz man.

We perhaps got an hour or two, grouchy we man.

 

Breakfasted/skoolbused* Mini-B., bye wee man man.

     *by the way, radio silence from all skool & transpurtayshun personnel whom we wrote AGAIN, :ranting:  man

Immediately tried Siesta #1, desperate we man.

Siesta failed, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

We considered ourself unfit to do tax work, wait for Mama T-B.'s wrath we man.

Worked on nagging issues such as credit-card disputes, nagged we man.

Also dished/de-dished the warsher, domestic we man.

Lunch was 2 turkey sandwiches, ingest we man.

Siesta #2 was eventually undertaken, somewhat successful zzz man.

 

Mini-B. arrived and demanded a snack, hungry wee man man.

We nuked him a Costco mini-'za, nuke we man.

 

Din-din was salad + hot dogs, ingest Two Guys man.

This din-din is actually rather intense, see man:

         1.  De-bag shredded lettuce and embowl it, si man

         2. Slice half-tomato for Mini-B., unkindest cut of all man

Many.  Add croutons to both bowls, add man

Many.  Add respective dressings to respective bowls, add man

Many.  Serve/ingest bowls, si man

Many.  De-package Many (2+2) hot dogs, denude the dogs man

Many.  Place dogs in nuke-safe dog-nuker, nuke dogs man

Many.  Separate buns from package, bifurcate buns man

Many.  Place opened buns on separate paper plates, place man

Many.  Pre-add mustard/ketchup to Mini-B.'s and ketchup to ours, pre-add man

Many.  Remove dogs from microwave and fork into buns, proper technique involved man

Many.  Serve/ingest dogs, si man

Many.  Up-wrap remaining half-tomato for use later in Two Guys week, it's a wrap man

Many.  Up-wrap remaining dogs for use later in Two Guys week, Wrap Artist we man

This is more work than for almost any other Two Guys din-din, conclude we man.

 

Mini-B. didn't want a movie night, oh well man.

Later, attempted to caucus with Mini-B. to pick remaining hyskool courses, deadline soon man.

Mini-B. insisted on texting an amigo (amiga?) and making us repeat ourself, :ranting:  we man.

An argument ensued and skool activity was curtailed, curtail our tail with a carving-knife man.

Hours later, Mini-B. emerged and semi-promised that we'd do this on Tuesday, si man.

We had spent those hours caucusing with ChatGPT to make some sense of the requirements, :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

Must visit Mama T-B. on Tuesday, visit we man.

We will have to lie about progress taxxing, sigh man.

However, Subway coupons might finally be in weekly rainwater newspaper, hope we man.

We will search locally and in Uncle T-B.'s mailroom's recycle cans, search we man.

And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

And here we go, sigh man...

Mama T-B. called, all aysheep, aysheep senior she man man.

This time, it's rather justified, see man:

Her hospice outfit has been bought out and everyone is allegedly gone now, wow man.

The new outfit (if rumor is correct) is HQ'd around DFW, rumored man.

They do appear to have a proximal office, positive if true man.

 

The noosering-casa is caucusing today at half-past 2 p.m. to gather info, si man.

They have Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 +2x2x2) patients affected, that's a lot man.

Meanwhile, Mama T-B. (and we) have lost our very few capable/caring contacts, months to develop them man.

Mama T-B. is catastrophizing, can't totally blame her man.

We are preaching patience, noosering-casa won't leave anyone in the lurch man.

But this is the last thing that either of us needs, :girlwerewolf2xn: and :girlwerewolf2xn:  man.

If he can take AP Human Geography, I recommend it.  Typically the AP courses have better instructors and, if he scores a 4 or better on the AP exam, they often count as a college credit.  Kid1 was mad she didn't take it (she did 2x2x2 or 2x2x2+1 AP's and got her AP capstone) and Kid2 listened to his big sister and took it and really enjoyed it.  There are typically only 1 or 2 AP's offered for minor niner's as compared to upper class(wo)men.

if he scores a Many (2+2) or better on the AP exam, they often count as a college credit.  Kid1 was mad she didn't take it (she did 2x2x2 or 2x2x2+1 AP's and got her AP capstone)

How could you have been doing so well with P-Math and miss the easiest one, huh and :bonk: mam ma'am?!

Thrilling Tuesday report, see man:

 

We desperately wanted to continue zzz-ing but couldn't, o'dark-Many skool hours man.

Breakfasted/skoolbused Mini-B., groggy Two Guys man.

 

Breakfast (!) was 2 buttered bagels, ingest we man.

Siesta #1 minimally successful, more rest than zzz man.

 

Visited Mama T-B., aysheep senior she man man.

Awaiting verdict on hospice co., see above post man.

 

Cashed annual Costco rebate at Costco Business Center, F$WM.

Looked unsuccessfully for Subway coupons at Uncle T-B.'s recycling cans, :ranting:  man.

Rainwater newspapers at least a day late on our street, :ranting:  man.

Sometimes one source or the other has coupons when the other doesn't, unnecessary stress man.

 

Siesta #2 remarkably good, zzz we man.

Mini-B. also zzz'd on recliner sofa downstairs, groggy wee man man.

He is always irritable after siestas, he'll learn man.

 

Din-din was Southwest-Style Linguine with chicken & sausage*, ingest Two Guys man.

     *on sale from Costco, F$WM

Mini-B. rather liked it, consume most wee man man.

 

No movie night, :( man.

Got Mini-B.'s next-year skool courses input, rotten lousy system man.  :ranting:

It would NOT allow us to input future years' courses, :ranting:  :ranting:  :ranting:  man.

This adds stress and doesn't enable graduation evaluation in advance, :ranting:  man.

 

Mini-B. has a Debate event sometime this weekend, thanks for telling us only NOW man.  :ranting:

Teechur is also not good at parent communication, :ranting:  man.

Our weekend/doing Mama T-B.'s taxes/visits to Mama T-B. might therefore be hosed, :ranting:  man.

 

We did precisely zero in regard to Mama T-B.'s taxes, :ranting:  man.

 

No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man.

No Wednesday plans except to follow up on skoolbus fiasco plus Debate issue, :ranting:  man.

And that was/is our thrilling Tuesday, report we man.
