Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[cyhiphopp]

Guy in my office just said "dadgum" and not ironically.

You work with Mater?

I was going to ask if cooler sells propane and propane accessories.

Dead ash trees are the worst to take down.

So apparently I need to worry less about foreign students driving around town now and worry more about little old ladies driving the wrong way down a divided street to her Dr appointment.

The 11yr old had an annual physical today and got 3 shoots and blood drawn. As a treat I promised her Starbucks after. Everyone must have decided to hit Starbucks before moving in because the drive through line was 20+ cars, including 4 on Lincoln Way who were waiting to turn into Starbucks.

Yeah, and all you are left with afterwards is an ashhole.

Actually for right now, it's just big ash stumps. 2 down, 8 to go.

I hate ash trees in general. Messy, droopy, need non stop trimming, drop twigs left and right, yuck.

With dead ones, you end up raking up half the tree because they just shatter when they hit the ground.

Your son was a genius.

Funny - I didn't catch your creative bolding at first. Well played!

His fifth and final year as an undergrad he moved to a different dorm (substance free - he wanted the challenge of a restricted dorm on his resume) and ended up marrying one of the other RAs in that dorm. Teddy is still with him, but now that he's an asst director of res life he lives in a real house as opposed to an apartment in a dorm, so his Teddy has a new shelf in their house and occasionally provides hugs for one of their four daughters.

Wazzu was a bit more behind the times I guess. They opened the first coed dorm (by floor) the year before I started there, and Daddy was horrified...until I informed him that the Udub had had coed dorms for quite a while. Then it was all "By God, you're going to Whitworth!" (a private Presbyterian college in Spokane where I had also been accepted).

I was actually 2 years behind my HS graduating class as I laid off 2 years before starting college. So ISU could have been more restrictive even those 3 years earlier. I started at ISU in '76.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Relieved to see after doing some math (and math is hard) that I am still the oldest here by far.

RTT, RTT in Off Topic, who's the oldest of them all?
Thoust are oldest by far.

Woot! Woot!

 

[ImJustKCClone]

iirc - you're a year older than me, Dean is about 8 months younger, & Gr8 is a couple years younger...maybe more.

Kindergarten that is.

I think I got you by about five years.

So if I'm 23 we must be pretty close right

Idiots reconfigured a router about 9 hours ago which caused a problem and spent the last 9 hours dealing with it. At this point they still haven't said they made the changes which we just had ATT back out.

Pretty sure we had this convo before. But maybe I'm thinking about one of the other old farts.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

I'm close.

You aren't even in sniffing distance, ya young pup.

 

[mctallerton]

I've got a buddy coming up Labor Day weekend. Bought some Twins tickets and he's like "we should get drunk and go to the Minnesota fair too!"

I'm like, eh......even drunk, I don't know about that....

But chocolate bacon.
