On My Tour Of Washington DC And Already Playing "Spot the Disney Dad"

Was in line to tour George Washington's house and there was a bratty (s)kid stepping ON the demarcation chain; pushing it into the ground. He continually did this without admonishment by disney dad

The whole family reminded me of the Girhippo clan in that they were all freakishly tall and albinoesque. Other than the fact that they were actually slender and not morbidly obese, the similarities were uncanny.

After about 10 minutes of this kid deliberately stomping on the chain link, the dad finally softly said "better not do that, buddy."

Went on a winery tour with co workers and there in all their redneck glory were the Girhippo clan. Selling their Salmonella laced soups in a cloth hut next to the spralling, gorgeous chateau as if cast out.

There were at least five bus loads of people and they had NO customers for the 45 minutes we were at that winery. I thought they might be at the first winery we went to as she has gone there a few times to hawk her witches brew, but that particular winery must have decided it wasnt good for their business (read on).

So Chef Wants to go into business for himself...

I should rephrase that; Chef wants to have his own business under my name. I am extremely hesitant about this seeing that he still has quite a large CS obligation for the next 8 years.

Anyone have any advice or experience? We live in dreaded business unfriendly New York State. He wants to start an HVAC business.

Just when you think you have purged your house entirely of entitlement session souvenirs, whamo!

Was helping Chef put in a tankless water heater in the attic. As he was moving stuff around he handed down AN AIR BED (deflated) that was used when the brats started entitlement sessions back at my OLD house!!

AARRGH! Thought I had stripped my house of all things skid since the radio silence of 6 + years now!

I think I need another ritual house cleaning!

So Chef Thinks it's Childish...

I set up a credit union account quite a while back and I used a very lightly disparaging-to-the-Girhippo security code phrase that he saw when I was logging in.

Now mind you he asked me to log into my account because they were doing planned maintenance at the bank and he thought that he had overdrawn once again which he usually had done for tbe past eleven years routinely.

And this is a guy who basically has been living off of my salary for the past 11 years due to massive CS and has just started to contribute his fair share.

If You Have A New Iphone... O/T Sort Of

Turn off "wireless assist." It's on by default which means if you are in an area where the wireless signal isn't that strong, the Iphone will start using your data plan instead of warning you about the low wireless signal.

This could mean an unexpected enormous bill-especially if s/kids are on your account.
