they ain't bad to deal with when they're in their right mind. haha.

can't do much but feel bad for her.

 

 

I never really envisioned getting married -- I always thought I'd just have a flight attendant girlfriend that I'd see whenever she happened to be in town......lol

That being said, married life actually works ok for me -- it's the "parenthood" gig that is the bigger struggle for me. I always say about my son -- I wouldn't sell him for a million dollars, and I wouldn't give you 10-cents for another one!

When my son finally heads off to college, I suspect I am going to be like the Black Lab who has been kenneled for his entire life, and is suddenly let free at the park.....lol

 

Where the heck is everybody? I'll take a stab:

* Bluejay is out mowing the lawn while his wife supervises him from her lawn chair on the front porch.

* Coy is at Wal-Mart buying more pool noodles since the ones installed in his garage have been flattened to the point of being useless.

* 281 is carting an inebriated relative from one side of town to the other. (Wish he'd take a picture -- these would be some classic shots!)

* Patman is trying to figure out what to do with the 4 parts that are left over from his massive re-build of a 2014 Land Rover. He eventually gives up, throws them in the glove box and calls it a day!

* Paw is out somewhere spending his children's inheritance.

* 88 is at Home Depot buying the supplies needed to turn his son's bedroom into a "pleasure den" for him and the missus!


Me? I'm out here working like a dog once again so I can pay for Bluejay and Paw's Social Security.....

 

I was taking a nap. I really appreciate your SS contributions. Just keep up the good work!

 

I'm about to fix a few chips in my paint

 

Got the electric bill today, it doubled from last month. Thanjs to these 105 days and 80 degree nights. I know some people that keep their house at 68 degrees, can only imagine what those bills are. We keep ours at 75

 

I really appreciate the "working like a dog" to continue our social security!




And yes I was out spending my kid's inheritance.

Keep working!

 

Just paid my bill $228...hate to guess what this month's will be. Keep the AC on 75 and lower to 70 at night.

 

I don't know if I could get our house down to 68 with the weather we've been having here in Houston these past few weeks -- my unit runs almost continuously during the afternoon just to maintain 73, and the temperature will even spike a bit during the early evening hours when the wife and kid are coming-and-going out the doors and we are cooking in the kitchen.

I keep our thermostat set at 73 night-and-day and my bill came in at a shade over $400.00 last month for a 2300 SF house -- that's the highest bill I have had since we bought the home back in 2002. I'll be curious to see how much of a reduction my bill takes next summer after we've replaced our aging AC unit with a newer, more efficient model over the winter.

 

I haven't worked at Land Rover for over 2 yrs. So probably not the best guess

 

Knowing you, I would have probably guessed the same thing

 

Didn't realize you had made a move -- where do you work now?

 

No where, but he hangs out at Mercedes of Grapevine.

 

You know what they say -- you might make enough money to "buy" a Mercedes, but you never make enough money to "own" a Mercedes.......
