Yep, Soup and Stew if we take a break long enough to dry the brush but on our little breaks won't happen.
One wall done, and just a bit of the bigger one left to do in apple red. I kept telling hubs he had the dark yellow instead of the light, he argued no way. Well I had painted underneath the bar part in the living room and yep 2 different colors. Sometimes men just don't listen. Thankfully he has enough paint to redo a small area but I didn't want that wall that color at all, grrrrr. I guess we will live with it, cause I'm not repainting it, I still have a lot of white to paint in here. 3 doors and 2 window inserts, will sure be happy to finish these two room.

I don't want to discourage anyone from taking an Uber, or any other transportation option, but there have been stories here that some of the drivers are real pervs. I'm not sure I'd trust a teen, or college-aged woman would be safe all alone taking an Uber after dark. JMHO. I don't agree with limiting womens options. Instead focus on safety for everyone. Ds had a friend whose mom wouldn't let her daughters walk to the store alone, but would if my son was with them. I love my son but I'm not sure how much he could do as a 13 year old to defend himself and 2 others?

DS and DD1 don't even go to/stay at games/dances for very long because they can't tolerate the kids who show up drunk. We are also fortunate that two of DS's friends that he hung out with quite a bit were in the same situation as him, with a child that was significantly younger moving about the house. One family-the dad remarried and basically had a second family with the trophy wife. The other family the parents adopted a young special needs kid. So, DS never complained that even while hanging out with his friends, he still had to keep his behavior to PG-13, max. And there was always supervision, much like our house. We're pretty strict about the more unseemly behaviors the kids can engage in. I've warned them that there would be hell to pay if the missy got into substances in their rooms. I was not keen on having a toddler OD because of one of the older ones. That is one of the perks of having a 14 year age gap between your kids.

I have an account from hell. He keeps bitching that he pays way too much in premiums. He's going to get other quotes from other brokers. Go for it! Your losses are crazy, thus why you're paying higher premiums. We moved his coverages to another carrier last renewal and saved him a bunch of money, yet he stills bitches. Then he tells me he wants higher limits. Why? You don't want to pay the premiums. Maybe he should consider investing in some serious driver training and/or CTJ talks with his drivers so his losses go down, yah think? They're all owner operators. They turn over like pancakes. Truckers do in general, but when you don't pay for benefits and make them independent contractors, they have absolutely no loyalty. Add in the fact that he's a horrible businessman and a hot head, and he is constantly making truck/driver changes.

Did some online casenet sleuthing bc I had a quiet moment while on a work trip. What happens to child support a dad owes while he is incarcerated? Original charge I found in 2010 for Marijuana, six months and drugs >Marijuana for 4 yrs. Saw 2018 attempt to file for divorce that was dismissed bc nut didn't file all the correct paperwork. Current pending charge is for theft $750. Bond hearing soon so that's why he is telling teen he is getting out. Is there a way to look up possible sentences? It keeps adding to his balance owed. If he's in there for a while, they'll put him on a short term payment plan with a really small payment once he's released to help him get back on his feet. Once that time is up he has to start paying normal amounts again. I think you have to take him to court to get an additional amount tacked on until the arrears are caught up. Unless things have changed since the girls were younger, MO is not going to play games with him. The state of KS basically told me I was on my own. I moved to MO and they said that since he owed so much that it met felony criteria and started the ball rolling. He was convicted of felony non support and his SSN was flagged. I got tax returns and monthly payments. When I moved back to KS they told me that since it was a MO order they could stay on top of him. I was so glad I didn't have to transfer anything to KS! They probably won't set him up for felony charges right away because he was legit incarcerated and not just dodging CS. If he doesn't get it together after he gets out, he very well could end up right back in there.

just checking in quickly. I'm feeling human again, post-food poisoning. def stressing out about tomorrow's dentist appointment and currently zoning out to mindless tv. I've already dug out my headphones and put them on top of the CVS bag with the meds I'm very happy I asked for, so I don't forget to bring them with me.
hugs to all that need 'em. I've been trying to keep up with reading, and I'm sending big virtual hugs. 💗

Had 3 crowns in one visit, multiple rounds of Paul Simon and Rolling Stones. Even now, music is my escape from my anxieties.
