Six years today - you’ve missed, and been missed, for so much: two weddings, a career change, an advanced degree, new purchased homes, and the upcoming birth of our grandson. I still can’t believe I’ll be navigating retirement solo. We had such plans.
The beautiful tree in my avatar was chopped down today, along with at least 50 others.
Why? To make room to cram two more office buildings into my already-overbuilt office park.
Makes me a bit sad.
The last mile can already take 20+ minutes in the morning, this will bring an extra 1500-2000 cars per day up the one-lane road that is the only access. Ugh.
Please let this go well. Let her be okay.
You know I’m retiring at the end of June. Until then I will participate in the meetings and prepare my inputs, but you will be responsible for pulling everything together and presenting. How many times do I have to repeat this before it sticks?
Oh, and I’m not working OT.
My friend you already know this. I support the fact that you want a chance at a more happy home life and more passionate and involved husband. Yes, such things do occur but perhaps not to the degree you think. I like your DH. He is a good guy. I’m sort of sad you’re planning divorce and looking forward to a few years of playing the field/finding your soulmate. I’ve been there, done that. I understand both the ups and downs. I did it a decade ago. I can’t imagine how much harder it will be after 50. And after another 5/10/20 years with someone new I expect you (like most of us) will again have annoyances and a more comfy than passionate relationship. But I do understand the need to take the chance will you are young enough to enjoy it. I wish you both the absolute best.
Thanks for adding a huge amount of stress onto my day for something I have zero control over, can do absolutely nothing about, and then ending the call with “but everything is fine”. If everything is fine, stop the darn nitpicking! No place is perfect! Oh and by the way, the nurse was already on top of it and had just stepped out to get a working bp cuff!
Wow, the entitlement is flowing on CC today.
Why can’t people just leave the lady alone? Not everyone needs a platform.
Wow, what a big man you are lashing out to a young man who has worked tirelessly to complete a project for the community! I hope you sleep well tonight! You must be very proud of yourself.
I’ve been told not to have any expectations of you, and I am trying hard to heed that advice. But when I tell you where your grandson will be attending college and the scholarship program he will be part of and you say “meh,” it is hard not to be insulted. Perfect illustration of the fact that expecting any congratulations or encouragement from you is expecting too much.
Please just get it done and turn it in !!!
Well that is finally finished.
You accepted the information without a whimper. So telling.
I hope that your children will not be asked to make the hard decisions. If they are, I hope that the sensible ones prevail. I hope that your children can find solidarity at this time.
I hope that I am not hoping for too much.
Ah! You did not get it!
Figures
Your response even to the bit you got was all we needed
to know. The
Could you please stop dating women 15-30 years younger than you? Your teenage daughters want a good relationship with you but they find you more and more disgusting and they lose more and more respect for you with every passing year and every passing PYT girlfriend. They need a real man as their father - not some vain egomaniac. You are in your mid-50s now. Either grow up or take your latest bimbette and get out of our lives for good. I am trying to raise our kids, they are trying to study for finals/AP exams, and I really don’t want them subjected to yet another one of your May-December “romances.”
Six hours till I get my arms around you.
Four weeks and four days until we’re in Lebanon, hugging our son. 
Six weeks and five days until we have a reunion with our daughter (haven’t seen since August) and son (haven’t seen since July)! We will have two weeks together in Spain and Switzerland. Can’t wait.
Why are people so noisy? Be quiet!!!
Whatever it is, give her the strength to understand she is not what she does and that she has so much to offer the world.
