Yay for nice Tinder guy! I hope he continues to be a good fit.

Awwwwwww...adorable tub time. Clearly the result of good and thoughtful parenting!

All ready to roll out of bed at 3:45 am. ME is all set, the windshield is freshly cleaned, my bag is sitting by the door.

Please send her some ~ma. A little extra, it couldn't hurt.

~ma for your friend ME, Katerina Bee. Safe driving and all that good stuff for you.

smonster, sounds like fun getting to know this guy.

That is definitely a parenting win, sj.

Yay LtC! Yay bartender!

I had friends over for dinner and it was so nice, even if some of the stuff we talked about (work, personal life, etc) is so hard. My one friend had to call the cops on her son Saturday after he punched her in the face. But I was so glad she was able to come over and tell us and hang out and give her a back rub and stuff.

He has told me that I'm super smart and beautiful.

Well, I already like this guy.

Awww, so nice to hear that ltc has taken to the bath again.

~ma for ME.

Ugh, meara. Having to call the cops on your kid is hard. Good she has nurturing friends.

My poor son lost one of his friends. One of the boys Bobby went to high school with was bait fishing off a bridge for the billionth time in his life and a car went off the road and killed him. 22 years old. Surfer boy. Everyone loved this kid. Bobby said he never saw him unhappy. Worked 2 jobs, one as a ship's mate and another at a surf shop. Sun streaked long blond hair. Just happy go lucky always on a skateboard or surf board. Hit his friends very hard. You just don't expect to lose people at that age.

Oh, Laura, that's so sad

meara, that's so hard. I'm sorry for your friend.

Laura, how awful. ~ma to Bobby and to his friend's family.

ltc didn't want to leave her room this morning and actually tried to push me out the door and shut it behind me. This is why we often call her little stinker.

meara, I'm glad your friend was able to talk about this and get support from you. What a rotten thing to happen.

Laura, how heartbreaking!

Oh man, what a total nightmare that kid's family and friends. I can't imagine.

meara, I'm so sorry for your friend, and glad she has y'all.

ltc, go easy on your mama! Dang, what a strong personality.

I'm house and pet sitting for my old roommate this week starting today. Of course I still get to go back by my house and take care of my cat twice a day, because my roommate is a wanker. At least we don't live far apart. And I get a bit of a staycation away from him, which is good because he just started dating someone and dude is at the house almost every night and I am not looking forward to that conversation.

ltc's strong personality will serve her well in the future, although it is quite the challenge for the parents that think they are the boss of her.

Ugh, smonster. I so wish you had a better roommate. Enjoy the peaceful staycation.
