I finally pulled the trigger and put him on "ignore." I don't mind reading opinions that differ from my own, but his buffoonery is a waste of forum space.internetman just chimed in so you know it's reached a new low.

My freshman year of college was the first year that Wazzu offered coed dorms (alternating floors). My father was horrified and very nearly forced me to go to Whitworth College, which at the time had a smaller enrollment than my high school. Talked him out of it because my dorm was part of an all-female complex (three dorms linked by underground tunnels...we could go to breakfast in our jammies & curlers. Sophomore year they made one of the dorms an upperclass study dorm for men (like Buchanon is...or was). Really sucked, because now we had to get dressed & put our make-up on (yes - vanity!) before going to breakfast. Grrrrrr...When I was in school, halls like barton and maple were all female, and others were either all male or female. Now BWR and oak/elm are the only all unisex dorms. We would have 1-2 sister floors also, I doubt they do that now with most being co-ed.
My boys had completely different sleep patterns after infancy. Both were pretty good sleepers as infants, giving me 6-hour stretches by 3 or 4 months old. Then they diverged. The older one is like me, didn't need a lot of sleep, so six hours was pretty much it for him. Fortunately he learned very early on how to amuse himself with his mobile, and didn't do a lot of screaming. The younger was like his father and would sleep 18 hours out of every 24 if I let him. He would put himself to bed for naps or bedtime. There were times when he was a toddler when I would hear a tired cry from his bedroom and i would go into his room & find him grabbing the bars of his crib and pressing his little face against it. I would lift him up & put him in it & he'd be out like a light.Our first girl was pretty good when it came to sleeping. The second was awful. She would roll around at night until her covers were off, and at about 3 am she would wake up crying because she was cold. This went on until she was old enough to cover herself back up, but guess who still wakes up around 3 am every night?
With old acquaintances staying with us from tomorrow through Sunday for a wedding and leaving on Sunday for Oshkosh my anxiety is in high gear. Also interviewing today for a position that now that I have found out more I don't really want. At the point that I would be more relieved if I don't get it and stressed if I am offered it. Already sent the hiring manager one email yesterday.
Yay adulthood....

Just an FYI. Men usually prefer to see women when they are not dressed.My freshman year of college was the first year that Wazzu offered coed dorms (alternating floors).

Pajamas, curlers & no makeup? We would never have been able to live with ourselves.Just an FYI. Men usually prefer to see women when they are not dressed.

I'm scared to ask what "the usual" is...I mean it is a little much but it is better than the usual.

I'm trying to figure out how this was a response to me.I was one that most were surprised if I made it to a meal sober. To say I drank more than I should have is accurate. Probably why i average maybe a drink a month now. Don’t want my kids to think getting hammered is normal.
Both kids squads qualified for State so boys' team this weekend and girls' team next weekend. No RAGBRAI (not even a day) for the first time in something like 20 years.
