Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

Way back in the day my sister in law's boyfriend (now husband) had a significant amount of gray hair in high school. By about 5 years after high school he was totally gray. Apparently his father was the same way, nearly all gray in high school.

My MIL's family all have gone gray/white early, but have wonderful heads of hair. (Husband is adopted. Has a few grays, but is slowly but surely losing it.)

My dad's female cousin, I believe, went completely gray by her mid to late 20s. By her 40s, her hair was completely white, and she wore it long. It was quite striking for her to have all white hair, but a face "too young" to match it.

She has ONE job. ONE job. And in six weeks she STILL hasn't done it yet.

GetTING the 19yr old granddaughter to get her passport application made is like freaking pulling teeth. She's a procrastinator like none other, which is why we started on her as soon as she accepted the invitation.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Good luck! Probably not helpful for you, but I put reminders/alarms on my daughter’s phone to help get things done. Most recently it was to register for the ACT. Now it is to upload a picture for the ACT. We didn’t have a digital file when she registered, and it needs to be done by a date or else they cancel your registration. Next up is trying to find a prom dress. Not quite as important as a passport, but still in the pulling teeth category!!
 
I see there is a Sonic the Hedgehog movie. Is that even a game anymore?

I think so or at least he's a hit with children.

Amazing that Mario, Ninja Turtles etc. are still big all these years later.

If they rekindle He-man (saw there's some episodes coming out?) and do the movie the right way, I'll go.

Tried to take moms couch downstairs in our house. Too big. That sucks. POd by then so wife put it on some sale site and 10 people want it. Didn’t think there was a large market for used couches.
 
So the Faculty Handbook requires the school to give 90 days notice before a contract ends. That's why they did that so early.

I imagine it's so that we contract people aren't surprised at the very end and can move on while there might be time to do that for next year.
On the flip side, term faculty are doing that because there's nowhere else to go, so any good intention there doesn't really matter.

Daughter decided where she’s going to college or what she might major?

Once you leave her on the dock she'll know you were serious;). Hope she gets it soon just to relieve her aunt's stress levels. :)

Pretty sure she will end up at Iowa State, the other schools she listed for her scores were University of MN (my grad school alma mater) and Nebraska (gets stuff from them all the time, we have a niece who will be going there next fall). She does not know a major but still indicates pre vet as her interest. We will see!

What sale site?

I'm trying to get rid of some stuff. Craiglist got no takers.
 
Yesterday a lot of mom's stuff was on auction. I was going through the website and picking out stuff I recognized. Of all the stuff on the site the majority didn't have pictures but I added up over $5,000.
The consignment company keeps half of that and the rest more than pays for getting the house cleaned out which is really all I wanted
 
On a conference call with a guy that using a speaker phone or something so whenever I try to tell him stuff it all echoes.
