Last year at this time, YSS (HousesHitter) turned 18 and the Girhippo was in an all fired hurry to have him removed from the CS roles even though CS goes to 21 by law here in good ol' BM-centric NYS.  It was always a puzzlement to me just why the Gir would want to refuse extra CS.  Well it occurred to me that tax year 2021 is the year of the "advanced child care credit" and that she had long before, signed that year to claim YSS for the last time over to Chef (form 8223 signed by her back in 2015).  2015 was the year when Chef FINALLY got a lawyer who slightly rectified all the abuse of the

Which is right around the corner from me (she lives in the next town over approx 10 minutes away from us).   I (and Chef) use this medical center and have doctors there.  She is a Patient Access Representative, not sure what that is, possibly a greeter or check in person, and I'm glad she is employed, but yeah, awkward!

Has anyone seen the BestBuy ad on tv where it appears the mom and dad? are going on a trip somewhere.  The older teen daughter presents her mom with a hand made  3rd grade style greeting card as mom pulls out of the driveway. 

Mom reads the card at her destination (no dad? in sight...mom must have dumped him off somewhere LOL)

Card reads something like i miss you mommy, hurry back.   I don't recall ANY teenager acting like that when i was that age... we wanted to get AWAY from our parents.

And boy they put their head in their hands and said "this is gonna leave a HUGE hole!"  Of course the CIO is also moving on to greener pastures 1/1/21 by becoming part of the county's administration team.   I manage the county's non-intuitive, un-user friendly 911 system (servers and software) as well as the entire sheriff dept's hardware, servers and software.    I have left much more documentation than my predecessor, who wrote in sketchy, abstract and often reverse order.
