No one has to worry about me being a clean freak.

My adult kids have all had to teach some college kids how to do laundry.

The two still at home share a bathroom and I make them clean it once a week and they think that makes me a clean freak. The youngest is already whining about having to do it himself when brother leaves for college. I told him if he quit whining he might get some help.

I know young adult men. When dating husband, the first time at his apartment I refused to use the toilet, which was turning green, and went next door. Asked him and roomie last time they cleaned it. Never in the eight months they lived there.
 
Nobody gets drunk drinking a bottle of mad dog in a minute. You could do it and wouldn't even notice it when you finished.
That's not what I'm talking about. There was one time when you and Quance, and maybe Bennie?, uhmm I don't know and another Dude or two had a thing where you were taking a shot every minute for some ridiculous length of time. I remember you stumbling around the Dana House den shouting "I AM THE MINUTE MAN!" or some such thing.

Piece this together with your knowledge of stripper joints and your employments starting to get clearer :)
 
Random thought while shoveling and again this morning after seeing how many crashes happened yesterday and that 7 people lost their lives including two kids. I am by no means saying we shut everything down every time it snows but would it really hurt for EVERYONE to just have a snow day every now and then? It is 2017 after all and without much effort most people can work from pretty much everywhere. That being said this is America so "Thou must work at all costs. World will stop if I don't".

This and SLOW DOWN!! You have little control, but you can control your speed. The teenagers dying just makes me sick to my stomach--the girl lost control/skidded sideways and then was hit. :(

Even driving into school this morning on plowed roads, so much of the light snow was being blown around and you could barely see cars ahead of you.

They did some shot of beer a minute or something, I figured that would just fill you up so I decided it would be easier to just drink a bottle of mad dog in a minute and call it good. About 5-6, at least, other people did it then. It stopped when I tried it with wild Irish Rose, that stuff is nasty and not even chuggable.
 
As a follow up--where exactly would you be comfortable with Hitler living?

We used to have a board for household chores. Would fill it out for who does it for that week and such. Biggest problem is my wife is a clean freak. If its not done on her timeline, which is immediatley, she gets upset and does it. I had told her to wait for them to do them, but she says she can't live like that (like two dishes on the counter for 15 minutes or something like that). So I find various things that I get them to do. Oldest is helping at the farm and has a job working for a larger hog farmer in the area that he will go back to when released from his injury. Will need to help the daughter find something for herself, wife got her a job with the wife of one of my relatives last summer that I cringed when she told me knowing it wouldn't work well then, so that bridge is burnt. Softball is brutal for jobs.

We aren't worried so much about a job this summer as just finding volunteer opportunities. I am hoping she can find something to knock out a few silver cord hours (volunteer hours in HS, if they get 200 they get recognition at graduation--also a nice resume builder). Unfortunately places like animal shelters you need to be 16 to volunteer without an adult. She may have enough downtime after school in April before softball starts that maybe she can help volunteer coach a youth softball team a little bit.

During college, I knew two things about Cambridge.

1. It had that sleazy strip bar.
2. I played intramural basketball with a guy from Cambridge that was super nice, super quiet, super polite and super religious.

They don't exactly belong together.

Also, I think the guy I played basketball with had the same last name as KC.
No relation. There's a group of them in Cambridge, but they're not family. One of them was our mailman for a while.

There's at least two of us up hear that enforce a little work ethic and take their kids away from Fortnite for a little while.
Only some of the kids lived with us in the blended family. The ones that did had chores, which they complained about. The ones that didn't, did not have consistent enforcement of pretty much ANY rules. Which made the ones that lived with us complain even more. Wanna guess which grandkids have rules & chores now, and are far better behaved? :D

My daughter was able to volunteer at a hospital at 15. Most hospitals make you wait until 16 but there's some that will allow 15.
