[that's nice]

Yup, us as well...We'll have to work...just not get paid....Congress, on the otherhand, continues to draw pay. How'd you like to be a Marine in Afghanistan heading out on patrol--with no pay....I know what I'd be saying..."Patrol? What Patrol?"

I'm not holding out hope...they should put all of them in a room, lock the doors and not let them out until they come up with something

For the solution see Fed's post

Thats a great idea! I bet another thing that would work would be to outfit them all with some desert BDU's, outfit them with some old gear that was around since the first Gulf war, put them on a C-130 to Afghanistan and tell them they are going on patrol until they come up with a solution. I got money that says they have a solution before the first prop spins!

I thought I heard on the news that the Military was going to be funded till the end of the year? Maybe that was only in the extension deal?

It's a good thing I didn't convince DW to book a Disney trip for this summer.
Barring any surprises, I'll be in employment limbo starting Monday at around Noon (we're supposed to come in for four hours on Monday morning to "assist in effectuating an orderly shutdown.").

My wife just dropped the bomb that we may have to cancel the land part of our trip. Not cancelling the cruise part no way! Im paying that part myself.

They wouldn't leave the FOB....guaranteed....they'd never survive the ordeal---when they were left on their own

That's in the one week extension. For Beverly's sake just get it done

Absolutely not! YOU just tell her who's boss...who wears the pants in your family................

And do exactly what she says!

So today has been a lousy day, seems nothing is going right. At least I got

OWNAGE PAGE 100!!!!!

It really has been a lousy day. My mom just called and told me that she has skin cancer. Nothing to serious, but anytime I hear cancer it scares the heck out of me. We lost my BIL a few years ago to cancer and just the word itself is enough to send shudders up my spine. It is on her nose and hopefully will not show up anywhere else. They are putting her on a topical treatment to start and see how she responds. My grandmother had the same thing and she ended up with a lot of problems over the years Like I said nothing that serious but I know that she is very upset and scared. If anyone has an extra prayer please send one her way.

Thought's and prayers coming your way Kevin.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Wow, lots of cruddy news today.

DisDadDoc: I'm glad you're coming to the end of the school year and don't have to deal with that guy anymore. Close friends of mine have an autistic child and they've dealt with very similar issues. On to vacation!

AJRitz and Fed: Ugh. Sorry this shutdown is directly affecting you guys. I know firsthand what it's like to have your job directly affected by political beverly. Not fun. I hope it's over soon.

unclescrooge: Sorry to hear about the car!

prattpak: No land portion! Ay caramba. The hits just keep on coming. It's good to still have the cruise to look forward to, but that hurts.

KTME: I hope and pray your mom is ok and nothing else will pop up.

Man, with all this peanut butter going on, maybe I should just call it a night before anything else happens.

 

[DisDadDoc]

hey Disdaddoc

I know what it is like to have admistrators try to discontinue services, Having had two boys who where born premature,both at different times. We (more ike DW) spent way too much time in DR's offices trying to get diagnosis after diagnosis,especiay on my oldest one, he was born at 28 weeks and spent about 130 days in the NICU, they think he suffered a brain bleed in utero thatn had a possibe stroke in the first few hours of life. After finally getting a CP diagnosis and heading into special ed, only to discover that because he walks normal and had normal thinking patterns, and the only visibe problem was a speech delay...the "admin" people didn't think anything was needed, THANK GOD for DW...she was the fighter and it was trying times...finally getting people to see the CP diagnosis...and the horribe leg pains that they owuld say where growing pains...BS!...we eventually had a great case worker who saw through everything and went to bat for us....NOW...on the second boy who has speech issues and was born at 34 weeks we had a better understanding how the "SYSTEM" worked and were able to figure it out....THERE is always a brite side, the oldest after 7 years was able to get off the special ed list and has no other IEP's .....there is the fact that he can't run as fast or play organized sports that well like his bud's but that to me is no big deal, his legs still hurt after long wallks or running around, but he is vry intelegent and figure stuff much better than his 42 yo dad....Thanks for sounding off here we will always listen....as the 4 yo he is just plain crazy.......

Where in CT????

Thanks, Mark! I appreciate the support. Great job with navigating the system with your own children! Glad they're doing so well. I'm up near Hartford

Wow, Kevin. I'm very sorry about your mother. Will add you to the list

Has anyone heard from Herd regarding the family he mentioned last night?

He posted on Facebook about 30 minutes ago that there isn't much change. The daughter still has paralaysis from the navel down, the son still has not has he jaw fixed.

Steve - lots of prayers heading there way. Such a tragedy.

Maybe we should make them all take shots of Beverly, 1 a minute, till they come up with a deal?

Sorry Tim. As much as I'd love to do this, the 8th Amendment bars cruel and unusual punishment.

DisDadDoc - sorry to hear about your son's teacher. It never fails to amaze me how some people can be put in the positions they are in. Thank God DW is a social worker and knows all of the ins and outs of the system when we were adopting DD. The case workers were screwing up (rumor has it one was doing it intentionally) left and right. She kept turning the screws on them and pushing them to file all the right paperwork at all the right times. That way we avoided major headaches down the road.

Fed & AJ - I hope it all gets worked out for you guys. DW's job is in jeopardy with all of the Beverly they got going on at the State capitol here. The governor wants to severely cut funding to just about every social service program (foster care, parent education, etc).

Mark's right - there sure is a lot of peanut butter going around. I did get outside with DS today and played some baseball and got to listen to some birds signing. Sometimes its the little things in life that can really brighten your day - at least for a little while.

I am home from work and finally have a chance to update on the Schwab family from here...Both kids are doing ok so far after the bowel surgeries last night. Allison ended up having 3 tears in her bowl while Jacob only had 1. Last night Allison was not able to feel or move anything from the diaphragm down. Today she is able to feel her stomach and can tell that she has some swelling form her surgery. She is still paralized from the navel down. They did an MRI this afternoon on spine this afternoon to see if they are missing something to cause the paralysis like this. She does have a lumbar vertebral fracture. She woke up in the middle of the night and was talking to her Mom. She told her that she could not recall the accident but remember right after the accident hearing Jacob crying and her Dad "snoring". She said she remembered hearing someone at the scene saying that her Dad had died and she asked if that was true and her Mom had to confirm the horrible news. What a difficult moment it had to be for them. I am not sure if Jacob knows about his Dad or not yet. He still has a broken jaw that is yet to be fixed. Dale (the Mom) has not left the hospital of course so I don't think that funeral arrangements have been able to be made yet for Richard (Dad)....Both kids are being sedated pretty much however, on a lighter note....neither one has lost the taste for Moutain Dew!! They have both been asking for it!!! Hopefully they will getsome soon!!

Kevin, we will certainly remember your Mom in our prayers...there truly is something about that word Cancer that does something!

Chris, I am glad that you brought your friend with you to your meeting!! I hope he set them back on his ear. The teacher in question should not be in the classroom!!

 

[afwdwfan]

Man, right in the middle of paint a thon 2011 at our house. When Stopher gets back we need to try and schedule something. Maybe we can meet somewhere in the middle between the two fo you.

Painting... sounds like fun. I would tell you that I get back I think around 6 or 7 Sunday evening, but I'm gonna want to get back home. I've talked to Stopher about it, but I work an office job till 5pm and I farm, so anything I do in the evenings is dictated by weather and what needs to be done this time of year. We'll just have to stay in touch and see what works out...

Yup, us as well...We'll have to work...just not get paid....Congress, on the otherhand, continues to draw pay. How'd you like to be a Marine in Afghanistan heading out on patrol--with no pay....I know what I'd be saying..."Patrol? What Patrol?"

I'm not holding out hope...they should put all of them in a room, lock the doors and not let them out until they come up with something

That's brutal... there is absolutely no excuse to not be paying the guys overseas. I feel bad enough for the people who are here counting on that paycheck every 2 weeks that might miss some pay, but to do that to the men and women being asked our country is inexcusable.

Thanks Barry...it is hard for me to get on here sometimes...anyone who sees something on facebook...feel free to post it for me...Thanks for having my back Barry!

I was playing basketball with the 4 yo yesterday after helping the 10 yo with his batting and was thinking the same thing. Nothing better then after a bad day at work to be able to come home and act like a kid with your kids.

 

[Mipatn]

A U of M fan, an Ohio State fan and a MSU fan are climbing a mountain, arguing about who loves his team more. The MSU fan insists he is the most loyal. "This is for MSU" he yells, and jumps off the mountain. Not to be outdone, the U of M fan is next to profess his love for his team. He yells, "This is for the University of Michigan...!" and pushes the Ohio State fan off the mountain

Not to make light of a terrible situation, but my wife had a funny comment on this when I told her that you had to work without pay. "Just make sure he gets to keep using real bullets". Made me laugh at least
