I bought a Gumby costume that didn't fit. My wife didn't like Gumby anyway, so whatthe####ever. The theme is vaudeville but the invites specifically say only the entertainment is Vaudeville and all themes are welcome and pics from past years show everything from ####### Love Boat to M & M's to Sonny & Cher and everything in between. So I take that as license to dress however I like.

Wish I got  invited to parties where there are ####### Love Boat costumes....

 
Wife and I are going out of town this weekend. One of the bars where we're going is having a big Halloween party/costume contest Saturday night.

I'm going as Golfing Trump.

She's going as a Russia hooker.

Well, I guess we all see the problem here.  I hope you've learned a valuable lesson.

What's the backup costume?

God, I've got 48 hours to make this right.

I'm not the only one who hates this holiday, right?

This is a little long.  Looking for advise.

I can't remember if I discussed this here in the spring.  My son has been doing very well in school for past couple years and my wife and I are sometimes concerned if he is being challenged enough.  He just finished 6th grade and will be entering a 7th/8th junior high this year.  

We did not know this until maybe midway through last year, but his previous school did the initial split between regular college prep and advanced/honors prior to 5th grade.  He was not placed in any advanced classes.  Not a big deal, but he has always been an avid reader and likes to write, so we looked into whether he could be put into advanced language arts for 7th grade.  I talked to his teacher, she said he would do well, etc., so I filled out the form for the request and mailed it in in May. 

School starts Aug 16, but schedules are not viewable online until Aug 10.  I figured we would just wait and see where he was placed.

Well, my son talked to a buddy that has been in the advanced classes for a few years, and I guess the kids received a letter at beginning of summer about summer reading requirements.  

I called the school this week to see if my son was placed in the advanced class and they confirmed.  I asked about this assignment and was told "it was online".  

They have to read some 300+ page book, write a number of pages of notes along the way about different literary devices and interpretation blah blah blah.  

I ordered the book and we should be getting it today.  But I have some concerns.  My son can be prone to some anxiety when being overwhelmed, and his overall disposition is rather crappy because he just got braces last week and he is rather uncomfortable.  

So he has exactly 3 weeks to do this assignment.  I see my options as :

1. Push him to get through this and basically have him lose his last couple weeks of summer to get it done.  

2. Have him do some, but don't worry about getting it done before school starts.  See what happens once school starts.  Maybe call the teacher and see if he can get an extension.  

3. Forget it and put him back in the "regular" class.  Looking at the assignment, I think some of this may be beyond his capabilities.  

I want him to be challenged but don't want him to be overwhelmed.  He's already starting two years "behind" the rest of the kids in this class.

Remember when I was concerned about my son being overwhelmed and you guys told me to shut the #### up?  Thank you.  

Just got his first report card.  A+, A+, A, A+, A+, A+, A+

 
Granted, that A is in the advanced language arts class, so looks like we're going to have to push him more.

If she pees on you, the contest is over. Make it happen.

Its worth it for the slutty chicks, but I'm over wanting to get dressed up myself 

We got invited to a party Saturday, I might see if I can just dig out an old costume and go as Fat Elvis again.  I went as Zombie Fat Elvis that year but that seems like too much work now

 
not to get all footbally in here but how is Cam Newton leaving a press conference 1 minute early an outrage, but Belichick being a condescending ##### at every press conference for 20 years an indication of his genius?

Does he play sports or do other activities outside of school?

Maybe he needs to be challenged in other ways....not just academically. 

How fast can he eat a Wendy's baconator?

 
Getting falling down drunk is probably a little weird, but I'll stand back up and fight anybody who wants to talk ill of it right now.

It's weird to check back here at midday and get a ton of likes when I don't even remember posting anything.

Then I checked - and thought "Oh yeah, I made a diarrhea joke this morning".

 
Last day in Houston was awesome.  New partner and I knocked out 45 inspections today.   :bowtie: .  Beer later and back to the whack job state in the morning.
