Flinging Rants To See If They'll Stick

[TBoneTX 49,309]

Thrilling Thursday report, see man:

 

Only day this week of not having to awaken at o'dark-Many, si and sigh man.

But we awoke somewhat before alarm regardless,   man.

 

Took Uncle T-B. to doctor, Many-month checkup man.

Afterward, helped explain the mail that he'd gotten, it's hard being old man.

 

Back in the T-B.-mobile where phone was, diiscovered a message from Mama T-B., si man.

"I need you NOW for just a couple of things, si man; it shouldn't take long, no man," famous last words man.

We were there for an hour-plus, expected man.

As usual, Mama T-B. wanted to gripe at length but wanted no solutions,   man.

In addition, some staffer ran off with her good pair of office scissors,   man.

Fortunately, consequent to our ES purchases, we have Many spare office scissors, ha ha so there man.

 

Breakfast/lunch (at nearly Many p.m.) was half a tuna sandwich, 2 hush puppies, and half a chicken tender donated by Mama T-B., ingest we man.

 

Mini-B. & ex-Mrs.-T-B. got confused, so today was not Two Guys Eve, sigh man.

We will try to do it right on Friday, resolve we man.

 

The Exec. DiRectum of Transpurtayshun wrote the following about the skoolbus situation, see man:

---

Dear Mr. Bone,

 

Thank you for your continued communication, si man. After further review, we are unable to approve the requested accommodation, no man.

 

As outlined in the ISD Student & Parent Handbook, transportation service is limited to one designated pickup and drop‑off location per student, which must be on an approved stop and approved route, si man.  Parents may designate a child‑care facility or grandparent’s residence, si man; however, multiple or alternating pickup and drop‑off locations are not permitted, no man.

 

While this request may appear limited in scope, approving exceptions of this nature would create significant operational and capacity challenges, as similar requests occur frequently and must be applied consistently across the District, si man.  For this reason, we must adhere to the established handbook guidance, si man.

 

We appreciate your understanding and remain available to assist within the parameters of current transportation guidelines, si man.

---

We must now escalate this further, sigh and   and   and   we man.

(What would it take for ONE supervisor to say, "Si man, your kid can do this through year-end, si man," huh man?)

And we're curious why they've been treating this like an anomaly if "similar requests occur frequently," si man.

 

A siesta was attempted but was impossible, see above man.

 

Din-din was TG*, ingest we man.

     *onecan tuna & onecan peas both from earlier ESs, F$WM

 

Wednesday, we had disputed Many (2+1) smallish credit-card charges that we couldn't identify, successful we man.

Today, Mini-B. confirmed that these charges were his (after telling us before that he couldn't remember),   man.

We informed him that, now, he isn't to "save" our CC in his purchase records, no man.

We will further assiduously and immediately document all such purchases by date, amount, and vendor, si man.

He should really be paying for this stuff with his OWN funds, si man.

"But Da-a-ad, you said that this was my birthday present, si man..."   

 

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

Must arise at o'dark-Many to get Mini-B. to skoolbus,   man.

We have itineraried Many (2+2) ESs for Friday, itinerary we man.

One is in Favorite Medium-Sized Town, pleased we man.

Another is in Second-Favorite Medium-Sized Town, pleased we man.

We shall pass through FST to grocery there, Many specials pre-identified man.

We hope that nothing will hose our day, hope we man.

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

AHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣

 

I love my kids, but there is ZERO chance they're saving my CC number for games and the like.  

 

When Kid1 turned 16, I did get a separate CC and put her on as an authorized user.  I dropped the limit WAY down so she couldn't make a mess.  It was good because she had a good credit rating the day she turned 18 and I could lock out the card, as needed, if needed.  She's still on our Apple Family plan and asks permission before she buys $4 games for her phone.  Kid2 on the other hand, no chance.  He needs locked down.
