Random Thoughts the 13th: Jason Takes RTT

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Just went to the visitation for a guy at work whose wife died last week. About 40 years old. I guess she woke up and told him she was having trouble breathing. He called 911 and she died. I have no idea if they even made it to the hospital.
She had no health issues that any of us were aware of. I imagine the autopsy revealed more but it's not my place to ask.

It sucks because all you can do is offer condolences.

This may garner a "cool story bro", but don't care. Jimi and I were singing "Stone Free" really ******* loud on the way home from work tonight.

Yeah????????? Well..........I went to a Halloween party with Jimi.

So I am working on transitioning the chapter to the new online registration website for Young Eagles which once we are using it will be a huge help from the event management standpoint with little to no change for the rest of the volunteers other than they have to do a one time registration and either accept or deny each events invitation.

I just got my first "whats wrong with the way we have always done it?" email. I think this means I have arrived.

Also if anyone has kids ages 8-17 check out YEday.org to see Young Eagle rallies near you!

We all know when you see a 7-11 you just have to drop what you are doing and stop.

Priorities are priorities. Slurpees taste so much better in cruise.

I heard it was a blot clot in the lungs

Bunch of shots and pokes for baby boy today. He did pretty well though. Also moving to toddler room at daycare. Which can 't be right because he's not a toddler!! He's still my baby.

Take it from this parent, he'll always be your baby even when he has babies of his own.

I find myself rereading what I posted to see if I posted something stupid (again) whenever I have Cytwins agreeing with me.

Truth.

My baby turned forty last Tuesday.

I'm probably going to be the most meddling, overprotective MIL ever.

Since @cowgirl836 mentioned crackers somewhere else, today's Gogurt riddle:

Q: What is a dragon's favorite snack?
A: Fire Crackers

Evaluation by Z: No, because the firecrackers would BLOW IT UP. Dragons can't like firecrackers.

Watching the Cubs here. Actually witnessed a commercial.
Some guy making roasted cauliflower in his business, and he considers each one he roasts as a personal interaction with his customers.

It looked really personal, because that dude never wore gloves.

I was blessed with a wonderful MIL for 16 years - which was lucky since my own mother passed before my 3rd anniversary. Mom picked up the slack and I could always count on her for sound advice when requested. Sadly, I lost her in the divorce.

Actually, that's not true - I lost her in the re-marriage. Mom and I stayed in contact, and I went over to Wenatchee to visit them when I was out in Bellevue for my 20th class reunion.. Unfortunately, replacement wife found out, and created SUCH a stink about it that ex told his mom she couldn't stay in touch with me any more, or he wouldn't visit them any more. Two very insecure and manipulative people.

We maintained sneaky contact though my sons until the ex's' funeral in 2005. It was so good to see her & talk to her again. Unfortunately, Mom passed about a year later, and Dad followed her a few months after that.

I've tried to be an MIL like Mom. I don't think my DIL's hate me, so maybe I'm doing okay.

I have been extremely lucky in both MILs I have had over the years - really good people who have not only put up with me, but welcomed me unconditionally into the family.
