We had PTC for Dylan today. His teacher was showed us his last test to demonstrate how he is struggling in math. We both found this really strange considering he got an A and it has always been his strongest subject and I have award certificates from the last two years to prove it. I did two of the problems she marked wrong and and he had the correct answer for both of them. She was slightly embarassed and said she would re-correct it. :lmao: :nobodylikesmath:

Sounds like she went to school with the same "math" teachers my kids had who lump 4 point rubric scores in with things like normal 10 point quizzes. A 3 out of 4 on the rubric is supposed to mean near mastery of the subject, but the computer turns that into a percentage, and 75% is a D.

At least you got more than the blank stares I got when I pointed that out.

:lmao: Yeah, man, I don't know. He used to sit with Cal when I was doing flash card for multiplication and division and picked up really easily. That's why I double checked her work, he's in 3rd grade and they haven't even got there yet. We were at a corn maze last weekend (avoid corn mazes, like zip lining, it sounds like fun and is for about 5 seconds) and it was six bucks a person to get in. I asked him how much I owed the guy and he replied $24 almost immediately. He's below level at reading though. Probably because he's the 2nd kid and the novelty of reading to your kid every night, like we did with Cal who is an advanced reader, really has worn off. His teacher had a tat in an unusual spot that she was trying to cover up though. Only an Offdee 5.5 and but pretty and obviously does stuff so a SLB 9.8.

 
So.....my GB had a stroke over the summer. 62, looks 55, pretty healthy and fit.

If you check your notes we get together on Thursday nights for a FF meeting. FF takes about 15 minutes, max, and we get all boozed up and stoned the rest of time. Well, I used to. Good news is that the bar is one of my favorite places in the world. Bad news is it's in the old hood about 30 miles from my house so I have 4 beers max and don't smoke. Sucks.

Anyhow, we are doing waiver picks and my cousin that I beat last week is yelling, yes yelling, "DOESN'T EVERYBODY HATE BOBBY H?!! WE ALL HATE HIM RIGHT?!!! #### YOU BOBBY, NOBODY LIKES YOU!!!!".

People are laughing and my GB that had the stroke says "I could never hate Bobby. How could anybody hate Bobby? Bobby is the best." Awwwwwwww Then I make my waiver move. GB says "damn it, I was going to pick him up! I still don't hate you though." Then it was his turn to pick. In all seriousness, he said he was taking the guy I just picked up. The stroke has ####ed with his short term memory. Sucks this happened because a couple of weeks after some initial issues, he was fine. Being the large group of #######s, degenerates, scoundrels we are, we all laughed at him.

Costco rocks. Got a new printer/scanner/fax for my home office today. Now that I work from home, I needed something faster with higher capacity and just easier to deal with for the type of stuff I'm doing now. It's not a professional laser printer or anything, but $107 after a $50 instant rebate is great.

Brand/model? Need a new one.

It's mocking people, right?

He did say the fish was named after some anime character so that puts just about anything into play.

Could backfired though. The "slutty___" could wind up being "slutty potato" or "slutty bear(they gay kind, not the ursine variety)".

Oddly intrigued by the slutty potato concept. Not sure whether I would want to eat it or #### it though. No need to decide right now I suppose.

My daughter is going to university to be a teacher.

I thought an Education degree was always a back-up plan. Or the back-up plan to the back-up plan.

Here's where you've made many mistakes over the years. Lots of of people took a ride on your train but the reality is, you're a f'n idiot.

So you're a member of the Dipsh!ts Who Can't Take a Joke Club? Duly noted.

I've tried getting to an empty inbox but just can't maintain it. I don't like to delete anything that isn't obvious junk and filing 150 emails a day is almost as tedious as setting a lineup once a week.

I do, however, almost always keep zero unread messages.
Click to expand...
Currently have 1,600+ unread emails in my work Inbox - for years I was a zero unread but I get a couple hundred email a day - just can't keep up so I have to pick and choose what I respond to and even bother with. It helps keep my OCD in check.

Browsing Facebook this morning and someone posted one of those stupid then and now pictures about 'kids these days'

Top picture was 3 hippie kids playing guitars in some kumbaya circle.

Bottom picture, of course, was 3 kids gaping slack jawed into their phones.

Caption was something to the effect of being glad I grew up doing this as opposed to that.

Someone that graduated in 1989 felt the need to point out that while she didn't play guitar, she certainly wasn't texting.

:mellow:

Nope.Fortunately I've only met this kid maybe once or twice.

My daughter cried when we flushed Larry Fishgerald. I really thought he'd be dead before she'd be old enough to know better (I think he was a he because I never came home to find ridiculously overpriced shoes in his fishbowl).

What kind of effin goldfish lives for 3 years?

Probably should have named him Fishimanga Biakabatuka.

See but mine was a guy that got hurt all the time, no way he makes it 3 years

In your neighborhood I don't doubt the teachers are showing you their butts.

 
Good news! Closed on the house at just about 3 hours with an unforeseen $7000 addition to the down payment so taxes were covered.

Bad news - the previous owners, a sweet elderly couple, have not moved all their stuff out. It's technically "out" and in my barn. An entire house of furniture and personal belongings included a car, a boat, and a tractor are sitting in my barn.

:wall:

Sounds like time for a garage sale to get your 7K back....

 
Glad you've got the closing behind you, GB.

So the $7K was to cover taxes the sellers already paid from yesterday through the next tax due date, right?

I would do stuff with your wife in the barn.

By "I" I mean "me" and "wife" I mean "your wife".
