Spin Off on Professsional Beggars--The Sample Cart At Your Nearest Store

thinkthrice's picture

I think some people go to the store on "sample" day just to get a free meal and block all the patrons in the process. Then it becomes an opportunity for people to socialize and crowd all the aisles. Excuse me, I have some shopping to do on my list of about 27 errands--it's lovely you're all retired or on some freebie handout program chatting and laughing away while keeping me from my whole bean coffee.

BM Gets Job At Casino As a Waitress--UPDATE and Chef's Take

thinkthrice's picture

Told Chef about the Girhippo's waitressing gig which started last month--shortly after OSS(20) started working there as a dishwasher. Chef replied "She's getting ready to ditch StepDaddyBigBucks--she's tired of him."

Now at first I thought that was just butthurt on the part of Chef, however, I noticed that:

OSS (20) Gets Job At Casino--BM Follows Suit

I've seen this work in the reverse. Parent gets job at company then gets child in.

In the Girhippo's case, she has a main 35 hour a week job as a CPS Supervisor
She sells soup in caldrons on the side with HER BM, Battleaxe Gallactica (BG does 99% of the work btw)
Now would be rockstar OSS (20), who just baaarrrrrely completed HS, got a job as a dishwasher at a casino.

Guess who gets a p/t job at the same casino as a waitress? Yep the Girhippo!!

A few years back, I got PF in my right foot. After about six months, it seemed to go away on its own. Fast forward to last year and we had a "walking challenge" which led to me getting PF in my LEFT foot. This bout seems much more severe. Has been hanging around since September of last year so I went to a reputable podiatrist.

For the Skid Who May Not Launch at Anytime After 18 and Still Gets CS

I caught a glimpse of the Job Corps advertising on TV. They have a website that you can sign your 18+ year old skid up for information/brochures. They offer job training, jobs, etc. Especially good for those skids past 18 years of age who fail out of HS or barely squeak by with no intentions of college.

This is particularly apropos to those of you who live in a past-18-year-old-CS region!!

O/T (sort of) Codeine Cough Syrup Gives You Nightmares

thinkthrice's picture

Have been fighting the latest cold/flu/sinus infection going around. Took some cough syrup with codeine (that benzonate stuff doesn't work for me).

Dreamed last night that SD 18 came back for a visit and to stay with us!!!

I think I sat up bolt upright after that one!!!

Now I'm torn between cough relief and horrific nightmares!!! Lol

A Flurry of Failure

I was re organizing Chef's paperwork/doing year end filing. Of course I keep EVERY.SCRAP.OF.PAPERWORK concerning Chef's paystubs, CS paperwork, skids school reports, etc. should it ever come back to bite us. Been keeping stuff basically since '04 due to all the horror stories with high conflict divorces.

Anyway I had to refile the skid's school stuff and it was basically a portrait of failure. . . a flurry of:

Interesting Article on Differentiating between Physical Child Abuse and PAS by Dr. Craig Childress

The common denominator in PASed children is the superior/haughty attitude the child has toward the targeted parent. Which has been taught/encouraged by the PASing parent.

I know all three skids to this day continue with that "tone" in thinly veiled barbs against their father.
