The teacher is dressing progressive for that era. Either she was lesbian or a partier.

small community and she lived right down the road from my grandparents.

Husband was a farmer doing very well. Only person we knew that subscribed to the Wall Street Journal.

I liked her, she was cool ,especially as I got older and knew her in more social settings

having both adult children in the home for the summer

this morning I get up to see my chocolate milk jug empty on the counter, my special K box in the trash, an empty $18 bottle of scuppernong wine next to it, my asiago and spinach dip gone, and the two leftover ribeyes I was going to slice thin for a steak and cheese sammich as my lunch today are MIA.

This is going to be an expensive summer

Maybe they should get jobs?

My youngest comes home from college and tells me that his friend and him are thinking about traveling cross country. I asked him how he was paying for that, and he said they will DoorDash to make money as they go. I thought that was clever, but I'm probably be getting Zelle requests on that trip

Whatever happened to:

• get a job (I am with jungle rat on this)
• don't spend your entire paycheck
• put money in the bank
• get a vacation from work
• dip into the bank account that you have been building for vacation

That is what I have done for every trip I have taken in my life. And this includes more thirty years ago when I was very very young. I talk about saving money and more often that not, the people I say this to look at me like I have three heads, they have never saved a penny in their lives

so depressing.

if I was 20 I'd grab a backpack and live by my wits until it got old.

You have the rest of your life for 9 to 5 drudgery

I don't mind him doing DoorDash. Last summer he worked at Pizza Hut with people who didn't give a shit about client service, making money, bathing, etc. He's better off having a business of his own, working on his terms. Probably learn more that way.

On this, I am with Jungle Rat.

"if I was 20 I'd grab a backpack and live by my wits until it got old."

IB tried that, it got old in about 5 minutes. He needs to be a cog in somebody else's wheel for his life to have meaning, however meagre that meaning may be...

Actually I did do this when I was 20. I was working in a warehouse. I got a week of vacation. I took an extra day (personal day) to make it 10 days off in a row (both weekend.) Then I threw my shit in my car and drove down to Florida (all by myself) with nothing but a bag, my wallet, a little bit of cash, and two Dean Koontz books.

It did not get old hedge. I wound up meeting some girls down there (two "nannies", one from England the other from Holland) and the three of us hooked up after I took them to Disneyworld. It was great.

IB, does the name Mark Barnes or MF Barnes mean anything to you?

You're a fucking idiot. And just to be clear. We only agree on that one thing. The rest you can go fuck yourself.
