Hospitalized elderly family member. The hits keep coming. He’s been in the ICU long enough that his wife is finding secret credit card bills for large amounts of money. Now I’m getting asked to help sort things out while he’s incapacitated.
also found out one of the neighbor's kids has been bullying my son. we knew there had been a few instances where he was getting picked on by this kid (whom our son considered a friend). but a call from the school counselor informed us it was more extensive than we were aware.
im not about to kick the shit out of an 8 year old. and im not gonna encourage my kid to either.
Enroll your kid in Martial Arts so he can at least stand up for himself mentally if not physically. Knowing that you can defend yourself against a bully and that they can't really hurt you usually precludes having to physically defend yourself from them.
Make damn sure they use screws and not nails. Ask if they do, then watch to make sure. Otherwise your new subfloor will develop a squeak. And probably long after any “guarantee” they offer has long expired. Bunch of mutherfuckin, useless, goddamn hacks…sorry hit a nerve…
Is this one of those "ask me how I know" type of deals?
60 easy min on Peloton down during one work Zoom (camera off and actually didn't have to say a word--large group CT dose/protocol meeting, as exciting in reality as it sounds).
Planning on 60 more of the same at noon during another Zoom for training on a piece of software, after picking up the Starlink box from the Fedex storefront. Got to change out of the bibs temporarily for that, hmph

Do you think the parents know? I mean if they're neighbors and not loons, maybe share a punt with them and bring it up.
Nice sunny fall day and I saw my chance for what is most likely the last road ride in shorts. Managed 31.2 Km/t over 1,5 hour of riding which I am quite happy with considering I had not ridden for a year before I got back to riding late July. Have to see if I can get the motivation going for riding the road or just go back to full time mtb for the fall and winter. So much easier to stay warm in the woods.
@jonKranked I agree with @eric strt6
This was my school when I lived in your area back in the 80s. They teach self defense with real world applications including how to avoid fights and spotting potential trouble. A lot more than just karate.

Yup.
Glue and screw. Buy a case of Liquid Nails and squirt that shit on everything. Take no chances, cause getting rid of squeaks after the fact is such a PITA.
Physical or verbal? Either way, shit situation. I hope the parents are reasonable people, though often times kids model their behavior after what they are exposed to.
Also - I find it amusing almost all the parenting advice is coming from people who have never had kids.
Yeah but I was bullied and beat up as a kid. It stopped when I took Martial Arts and learned how to respect and stand up for myself. All it ended up taking was standing up to one of them and all the rest stopped. 99% of ending it was mental on my part.View attachment 182164

What he said.
I'm teaching a very large class (close to 200 people) for the account I took over on near-retirement planning. The scope is pretty large - Medicare, SSI, investments, inflation, budgeting, debt payoff, etc. Lots of topics and 45min to do it in. Topics were requested by the plan, so have to hit them all. And it's being recorded for publication, so I need to stay on compliance approved verbiage. Given the amount of topics, I've cropped down a 1.5hr class as much as possible, but still have over 60 slides. It's gonna be a go-fast class, have your notepads ready, and then open q&a at the end (off recording).
I just got an email from them asking if I wanted to use the same slides as former rep (who quit). 8 slides, 4 of which are compliance disclosures, 2 are intro to the company. I'm not sure wtf she was going to present, but wtf!?
I can think of a number of ways that there would be compliance violations. I will drift off on non-recorded classes, but never in a recorded class. And that's standard for most people. But WTF?!

a bit of both, minor stuff in the big scheme of things (we're talking about first and second graders here). we know the parents (they live across the street diagonally). they've mentioned having some issues with him previously. our school district has a zero tolerance policy on bullying, so given that we got a call about it, I'm assuming his parents have as well. should also note both his parents are teachers.
I literally laughed out loud. Thank you for that.
Lots of
I'll third the martial arts suggestion. My daughter is a a pretty quiet, artsy, school orchestra, book nerd type. We got her into a Brazilian Jujitsu/MMA school here in town about a year ago, the difference it's made in her self confidence is honestly kind of amazing. She's approaching it these days with the same full commitment that she applies to her violin. The dichotomy of those two interests is also pretty amazing.
Clearly you should just one wheel over there in your bibs.
Our wooden floors squeak in all rooms of our house. But we've got underfloor radiant heating so I can't randomly start banging in the thin nail things normally used to fix squeaks
Sounds terrible. I'm at about $800 so far in bills for my COVID stuff from July. I know the next big bill I'm still due is about $1900 for the 2+ days in acute care (which is way less than I was expecting). But still don't know what my ambulance ride will cost me.
You didn't stop having an emergency for a second to ask about the cost of ambulance rides prior to receiving one so you could cost compare as the American Healthcare system expects one to do?
Yeah I'm totally thankful that it doesn't cost more, it was about a 30 minute ride. I'm sure most of the actual cost is covered by our provincial Healthcare. I was just kind of surprised that it wasn't like $100 or something. It was definitely cheaper than if I had called a taxi.Clearly you should just one wheel over there in your bibs.

Hopefully your bills don't stack up too large or at least get some sort of coverage or forgiveness.
Unfortunately as the first ER in Park City noped out of wanting to treat me and sent me on my way back down to SLC I was busy trying to remain alive
If you were to bring your bike up Saturday you might find it interesting...
I tend to wear ordinary clothes up here. Once in 22 years I have observed a rifle being raised, and it wound being a cordial exchange.

Haley's fucking toast. She decided to stay after school for a class kickball game, but didn't tell us. She was sending me msgs via chat, but I was on a call, so didn't get them. Wifey "went for a walk" with Layla heading towards the school.
