Did Anyone Go Through The Pre-PASout "I have an BM Family Event To Attend To So I Can't Do Visitation" Phase?

thinkthrice's picture

You, know, the BM family reunions that annually occurred every other weekend? Or national pickle appreciation day? Or "I'm going school clothes shopping" and you can't help but notice it's the month of May?

The ceremonial rolling out of the lamest excuses as to why skids can't come to visitation? Now normally when kids get to be just around pre-teen, they want to go to their friends houses.

O/T Birthday Gift To Myself!

A new kitchen faucet!! The kind with the touch controls and the light that indicates temperature (one handle)

Been in the current abode for 10 years now. The remodel of the kitchen was complete approx. 5 Thanksgivings ago. My current faucet has a spray out that is denuding itself by slowly losing the fabric-like covering off of the hose.

It should be here by my birthday--let's see if Chef can get it installed before Thanksgiving!

So what's up with people coming to a complete stop to make a right hand turn into their driveway on a busy two lane highway?

Shouldn't you get as far as possible to the right and quickly scoot into your driveway as opposed to having a line of traffic slam on their brakes and wait for 3 minutes while said driver s-l-o-w-l-y turns into their driveway on a 50+ MPH main highway?

And what's with school buses stopping for an eternity while socializing with pj/fuzzy bunny slipper garbed stay-in-bed moms at each driveway; once again holding up traffic for miles?

Around Here School has Been In Session for about One Month Exactly and. . ..

Dominatrix SD stb 18 (grade 12) is failing 5 out of 7 subjects. I noticed that she is taking what we used to call "bird" courses. IOW a lot of fluff courses; nothing really heavy duty.

Prince Hygiene, YSS stb 14 (grade Dirol is failing two subjects.

They both have two illegal absences and five lates.

Not surprising seeing their track record for their entire academic life, but just :jawdrop:

Anyone Else Whose BM's DH Does Micro-zings At the Skids?

Upfront: All three of my skids are HORRIBLY behaved. Due to a complete lack of parenting. The Girhippo's current husband, StepDAddyBigBucks, aka the walking ATM, does these "micro-zings" at the skids on FB.

For example, Dominatrix SD stb 18, said something about "MY Netflix account" and SDBB immediately retorted "Actually it's (speaking in the third person) SDBB's Netflix account" (smiley face inserted so as not to raise the ire of the Gir)

UPDATE To School Grades Portal Suddenly No Longer Working. . .

NOTHING on the school district's website saying a new system is in place NOR is the link to the old web portal off the website. Nothing on the main website saying that the old system is no longer working and that they are rolling out a new system. Nada, zip.

Only one response back from the principal saying basically to look for report cards. The other faculty member didn't bother to respond.

Getting more and more suspicious by the day.

O/T. Can't Keep Up With Garden Spinach and Raspberries

thinkthrice's picture

So earlier this year I had some spinach that overwintered in my back garden. I harvested some but then let it bolt. At which time I took the seeds off of it and Scattered it in the back Garden. Since my beet crop didn't do very well I also planted a bit of kale. Well now I'm drowning in spinach.

I plan on freezing a lot of it but does anyone have any recipe ideas?
