Have you talked with him about the special importance of keeping his English grades up?

We've been having a lot of issues with his grades lately.

Coach called and said he would likely make the team but they won't take him because of his grades.

You mean you don't sit him down at the table with every test and paper he brings home, then proceed to rake him over the coals for an hour or two about how he only got a 95 and not a perfect 100, and therefore will never achieve the kind of financial stability and comfortable lifestyle that you work so hard to provide for him? Lucky kid. But sounds like he should buckle down.

This is probably where you are going wrong Booner. Kids like structure and discipline. Send him my way, anything less than 100 won't be tolerated. And if there's extra credit, it better be done correctly too.

Flavored CoffeeMate creamers annoy me (when they are the only ones left).
Who actually likes that flavored coffee bullshit?

That was 1997 and the situation has not improved.

I accept.

Or maybe Booner's kid and mine can get together...and rob a gas station or something.

Like Booner: I'm annoyed with my kid's (8th grade) grades.

0 for fucking 3 on standby, fuck I hate traveling on fridays through OHara.

Ok, since you're in Delaware, let's start with this.

Put the kid in the car and head to Camden, NJ. Best to do this during the daylight hrs and if anyone approaches the car at a light, keep the windows up. Drive around the city a bit and explain to him that unless his grades improve, this is what life has in store for him. If you sense he starts to get it, I like to stop at the Aquarium and pick up some ice cream before heading home.

Booner, no need to drive to Camden, any large city in upstate NY will work for this as well. I'm partial to Troy.

At what point do I get out and yell at him to drive? ...hopefully not in Camden.

You need an experienced hand at the wheel in Camden.

Save that other lesson for the ride home if he gets testy.

Been fucking swamped with work all season long. My ski season was supposed to free up some at the end of February. Guess when I get a nasty cold?

More than annoying

No.

My ancient accountant uses different software every year--stuff he doesn't understand and can't figure out how to use. Last year he sent us an online questionnaire to fill out which lacked spaces for half the information I needed to enter. If I didn't know myself what he needed I would have been screwed. This year the software made me enter all the info from the 1099's for investment dividends and sales, rather than just sending him the 1099's as in the past. At the price I'm paying him he can have his clerk enter the data, He also sent us e-file authorization forms to sign and send back electronically using some program that crashed my wife's computer--I had to restore to a restore point--and didn't transmit any of the forms. Next year he'll probably use something different yet again. The only reason I stay with him is that it would be a pain in the ass to switch and our situation is a little too complicated for me to trust to Turbo Tax.

Meh, depending on where he's at, Baltimore might be closer(and seedier).

Rt 130. But make sure you head up to Willingboro, then have him drive south. Or roosevelt blvd in philly if you want a detour.

**JongDoe** · 03-02-2019, 07:22 PM

Somehow I left my long underwear base layer pants home on my trip to VT so I check in to the shop at Killington for a pair. They're out of my size but i see women's base layers in my waist size. I ask the guy what is the difference and he says only the cut so I buy them and they fit fine. Later I go to take a leak.......

Another thing was stopping in the Basin Ski shop on the access road and seeing some merino wool ones for $90. Better give me daily handies at that price.

**old goat** · 03-02-2019, 08:03 PM

Meh, I usually have to drop trou to take a leak when I'm in ski gear anyway. And before you go on with some blather about it being too short, no, it's too fat.
