THE CZickness LI.....Shooting for a Summer to Remember

[wtburnette]

Glad to know I’m not the only ones with cats that rule the house and like to have breakfast around then. Sometimes if I’m lucky they will wait until closer to six

They normally just sit outside the door until I get up and don't bother me. Last night one of the cats decided she was going to stay on the bed when I turned out the light, instead of having me let her out. No problems until 4:45 when she decided I'd slept enough and should wake up to pet her.

TEA tech said the test looked good to her and didn't think the cardiologist will want to change anything. Sure don't need more meds, 12 per day is more than enough.

Hope your doctor isn't one that got into med school through affirmative action.

Do you know what you call a doctor that graduates at the bottom of their med school class?

A dentist.

That is a real joke that my dentist likes to tell....

Doesn't matter where a lawyer graduates . . . . He's still a lawyer.

Conversation with my 12 year old son last night:

Son: Dad, you need to make more money.
Me: OK. Do you have any ideas?
Son: Yeah. Get a job that pays more.
Me: OK, like what?
Son: like you should be one of those brain surgeons. You’re good at fixing stuff right? Fix brains. It pays a lot.
Me: Being a surgeon requires 7-10 years of college plus more years of practice.
Son: Oh….

…This kid really wants an iPhone. Also, in 10 years I might be a dentist.

Back in the old days (when I was a kid), a father would say to your son: "get a paper route, and save your money".

In today's world, there are no paper routes (are there ? .... I don't think so)

No, but there are other side gigs/hustles out there.

I guess I’m “old school” because that was the talk. He mows for someone every week and makes a little. There are chores around here he can get paid for if chooses to do them (some chores are required and unpaid).

He’s actually pretty good at saving up if he really wants something. This last year he really got in to Air Jordan shoes and bought several pairs so I know he can do it. Now it’s a lesson of looking ahead and counting the costs and making a budget.

Excellent ! Both of our daughters started working after-school jobs in high school, and the lessons were invaluable.

Both of my sons worked factory jobs in aluminum casting and glass fabrication before moving on to their current jobs. I saw that as a good foundation for the future. Jobs like that pay pretty well for a youngster and teach them something about the world.

Making useful things gives one an appreciation of craftsmen that one might not have the understanding for otherwise.

Making the invite list for the FGE. 7 October is the date. Contact me by PM if you will be available and would like to attend. The list will be between 15 and 20 individuals/shooters. Well behaved spouses and children (spouses and well behaved children?) are welcome. Rules and vocabulary will be modified according to presence of polite company. As usual, I will provide the protein, and lunch will be potluck otherwise. Once the list is set we'll attempt to achieve a relatively balanced menu from all participants.
PM me if you have questions.

I see your doe and raise you a fawn and my cat. It's a boring 2 minutes or your life you won't get back.

Hey, look! We have a new poster!

Welcome! Tell us a little about yourself. Any cool guns? Maybe something suppressed?
