With Son-o'-Glenfidditch out of the way, boys have been calling her almost nonstop - several she didn't even think would give her the time of day, so it's all good. She spent a good 3 hours coordinating the cutest possible combination of outfits for band camp. There will be loads of hot juicy (not to mention talented & smart) boys there for her to fraternize with. I dropped her off at the band hall at 6:30 this morning and am sending her much positive energy to have fun and learn lots.Dr. Brainiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211219428888730462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049976452815904880.post-40614607965798476742007-06-11T11:49:00.000-06:002007-06-11T11:49:00.000-06:00Wowza!

The first was that I would never "date down" again and the minimum criteria for consideration for a date with me were a 6-figure salary, brains, exceptional manners and a big heart. The second was that I would never again be in a position financially where I could not walk out with only the clothes on my back and start over from scratch if necessary.<BR/><BR/>The Man had a talk with the GM (who is a little bullying tyrant in a suit & tie) yesterday and threw that little yellow card on his desk. He informed Little Man that he only intends to continue with the company through the end of the year. He will make sure everyone on his team is fully trained in everything they need to know to do the job and then he will retire. I'd prefer him to be gone already, but he needs to do it his way. I respect that.<BR/><BR/>Thanx for the congrats. Dumbass once told me that he didn't think I needed an education. It was wasted on women, anyway and realistically I probably couldn't finish because a woman's rightful place is in the home. Sooo when I returned to college (I had allowed him to convince me to quit), I had to go all the way through the highest degree, the PhD, just to prove him wrong.<BR/><BR/>That's just me though...your actual mileage may vary. ;o)Dr. Brainiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211219428888730462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049976452815904880.post-19376048428118687852007-06-09T09:26:00.000-06:002007-06-09T09:26:00.000-06:00I hope your daughter sees the light soon on the bo...I hope your daughter sees the light soon on the boyfriend situation. Ugh! Why can't our daughters wait to date until they're 35 or something? That'd make things so much easier. <BR/><BR/>I also hope your husband quits his job. Life's too short to work so much. <BR/><BR/>And congratulations on the dissertation!

We're always looking for a reason to party - oh hell, I forgot - we don't really need a reason ;o)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure The Girl is finding our advice to her boy situation like Chinese water torture. Oddly enough I had the same conversation with my mom several times when I was younger. Of course, I didn't listen and dated a steady parade of losers for a long time. She told me that she thought I was being shallow - that I didn't like him because he didn't have anything. I had to point out that it wasn't the money, but the lack of taking responsibility that I took issue with.<BR/><BR/>The Man's going to do whatever he's going to do. I just wanted him to know he has my support to leave that place.<BR/><BR/>Thanx too for the conga-rats. It's been a long time coming, but at least the ceremonies will be in Kansas City, where my 80-something grandparents live.Dr. Brainiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211219428888730462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049976452815904880.post-9303176939761469032007-06-08T14:57:00.000-06:002007-06-08T14:57:00.000-06:00Good Friday afternoon Drsharna,That was seriously ...Good Friday afternoon Drsharna,<BR/><BR/>That was seriously interesting to read. Your sense of humor cracks me up. <BR/>You don't pull any punches, and you have a tendency to be right on the money. <BR/>(Remind me to have you analyze my next relationship, please, it'll keep me on track !)<BR/><BR/>Glad you are there for Jessucka - she's lucky to have you in her cyber-corner.<BR/><BR/>Good summation of the boyfriend for the girl, and of the reasons hubby should leave his job. Makes sense economically, emotionally and physically.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the dissertation not getting slammed/you getting to defend it on the 19th -- and graduate on the 21st!<BR/><BR/>Excellent looking grill, b.t.w. !

That situation sounds so much like my first man, good old Asshat. I got with him when I was 16 and spent the next 12 years waiting for him to grow up and get a steady job. Guess what? It never happened. He was a mooch extrordinaire. I put up for it way too long, and it did steal my soul.<BR/><BR/>"I am rather proud of myself for having the self-restraint to not commandeer the microphone and loudly proclaim that the graduation was off and if they would all kindly return to their trailers, the world would be a better place." laughed out loud at this. Good for you for not unleashing the fury of hell upon them. Sounds like they need it.<BR/><BR/>Get the Man to do what makes him, and your family unit, happy. Who need to feed the corporate machine if it just drains you. Money is not everything and it sounds like you can work it out. Plus, you've got to get laid. lol **sending the man positive vibes**<BR/><BR/>Lastly - congratulations on the impending graduation. That is wonderful. **big sisterly hugs**Brunhildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927302567837372316noreply@blogger.com
