    Because as I was in the process of getting a nys permit, the guy that sired me decided to shoot up a restaurant and kill his second wifes lover.
    I just decided not to persue dumping more $$$$ into another attempt
    Yah just can't choose your biological family
    Besides after I elbowed one in the gut as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. They then decide the knife threat was a good idea I kicked off my shoes dropped my coat and screamed at them I'd kill at least one of them before they dropped me. They called me loco and backed away.
    Remember I was one of 3 girls in a neighborhood of boys. The only girl that was allowed to play baseball, football, and owned a mini bike like the boys. As an adult I was a bartender/ manager and routinely handled drunk men. Like with training dogs you have to show who's in charge and I've had zero problems doing that.
    Besides I actually have a secret weapon, I have a crazy amount of strength when I get an adrenaline dump. When I'm injured or feel severely threatened the dump happens. Even at my age it still happens.

    I am glad her boyfriend is out, having a daughter with a boyfriend you don’t like is tough as a father.

    Good luck with the horses and respect for your daughter for serving and she must be pretty smart to be called to pentagon

    Nah, she’s a sharp kid.

    Before my daughter left for MSU 5 years ago she had a boyfriend I did not like, I threw him a football and he jammed his finger. I kept quite for a year and then one day we had a talk about the young man. It was an honest talk about relationships and what she wants out of life. 5 days later she ended it and all I told her with a smile was the next one better catch the football when I throw it to him.

    Not sure who will be next for your daughter, but the current guy and the one she’ll marry was a d1 athlete in track at MSU and could have played baseball. He’s extremely good to my daughter and hits a golf ball a mile. Needless to say he was in my circle quickly and I am proud of her, because she took my advice on what to look for and it has nothing to do with catching a football.

    Tomorrow is Labor Day, most pools around here will close after tomorrow. Never mind it will still be in the 80s for the next month.

    My wife is a bacon thief, anytime I make bacon for a recipe she steals pieces. This morning I heard her getting up I had coffee done and I brought her bacon on a plate while she was watching salt water fishing on TV, nope she turned it down she wanted to wait a little while. No points for me.

    Son again after my warnings all summer, showing up 7 days before my first hunt date to chunk trees I dropped for him.
    Now I'll be in a mad rush this entire week to get the chunks loaded and moved to his trailer.

    That sucks, it also sucks when you have to acknowledge physical limitations. I wish you luck, and health.

    Sorry to read , I'll pray you get through this in better shape than you anticipate. Remember there are crossbows and other things to help keep you in the deer woods. My husbands Grandfather in his late 80's broke his back. They had him in a full upper body/ neck brace. He went to deer camp they put a kitchen chair out in a field and set him up wth his shot gun. He hunted an entire week in the snow like that.
