Life changes instantly. Cherish the time spent with loved ones.
Tell them you love them. They may not be there in the morning.

Sundae · 08-20-2011, 05:49 AM

Oh Classic. That's learning the hard way to be sure.

DanaC · 08-20-2011, 06:25 AM

yeah. None of my lessons have been that hard learned.

limey · 08-20-2011, 09:18 AM

Yes, Classic. Really that's the only thing, isn't it?

Griff · 08-20-2011, 09:05 PM

Amen.

Sundae · 08-21-2011, 04:38 AM

And same to you, Limes.

We might lose Grandad in the next week, but at least he's in his 80s and it won't be unexpected. Nevertheless, Stevo and I are going over today to make sure we don't have anything to regret.

Much love to those who've lost family suddenly.

Thanks guys. I'm REALLY struggling with this fucking "new norm" that everyone talks about.

Griff · 08-21-2011, 12:43 PM

All the kids I work with go home at the end of the day. I try to keep that in perspective when parents are frazzled.

Be polite. Be professional. Be prepared to kill every motherfucker in the room.

Don't stick a penny in the outlet, because it'll hurt when you wake up in the hospital.

When someone whips out a picture of their kid, remember, it's improper to say "Hey! A monkey riding a tricycle!"

Don't lie down in a strangers chalk outline.

When you wake up at the crack of Dawn, make sure her husband is still at work.

When she says "I'M FINE!" she means:

Female
Insecure
Neurotic
Emotional

Roughly, here be dragons. As for dealing with the dragons, you're on your own. I got nuttin.
