 | OT pool owners - cost of upkeep? - drunkenpunkin on 5/20/13 at 6:58 am We are looking at some houses, and I never really considered a pool because I thought it would be outside our budget. But, several homes on our list of potentials have pools. Of course having a pool would be cool, but it would be really beneficial for us as my son will be in aqua therapy twice a w...

 | The Parent Bragging Thread - drunkenpunkin on 5/17/13 at 10:01 am I HAVE to share this. Negative comments will be ignored as I'm on cloud 9 today.
I just dropped off my son's books at school since he finished his work yesterday. In return, they handed me a folder of awards. Let me preface this by saying this has been the absolute hardest year of my son's lif...

 | If you filmed your pets during the day, what do you think you would see? - drunkenpunkin on 5/16/13 at 1:42 pm I want to set up a camera to see what it is my dogs do all day when we're not here. Whenever we are coming home, they're both resting their heads on the windowsill looking out, and when they see us, they go ballistic. I just wonder if they sit there like that all day waiting for us to come home....

 | Another Northshore school question - drunkenpunkin on 5/16/13 at 6:27 am I recently took a job in Covington, and we are looking to move. We are planning on renting for 6 months to a year so we can save a little more money to buy. The rents in the more desirable areas are way too high to accomplish that goal. We could pay it, but our timeline would extend beyond a year...

 | Question for the OT handymen - drunkenpunkin on 4/15/13 at 10:07 am For the past week my washer has been doing this horrible loud squeak when it agitates. I'm not stuffing it full or anything. It washes just fine, but the noise is unbearable. And I'm pretty sure its not a good thing. What could this be? And how can I fix it? TIA....

 | Would you sell out for a job? - drunkenpunkin on 3/4/13 at 1:46 pm Let's say you are offered a lucrative position in your field, but the company operates on the opposite side of the fence from you on the political spectrum. The job is a career maker and would be good for your family. But, you know you would have to continually endure comments from others in your ...

She goes twice a year and every morning posts like 10 different pictures on FB like "I'd rather be at the Magic Kingdom" or "Disney: a state of mind" and a countdown of...

2) reality shows
3) facial piercings

 | Teachers who teach inaccurate information - drunkenpunkin on 1/11/13 at 8:29 am Posted on the poli board. My kids frequently come home misinformed about things. My son told me all about how we won the Vietnam war. Knew nothing about the capture of Saigon. And this is like the 3rd time this year his history teacher has given him half information.
Daughter came home upset ...

 | Update for those who have been praying for my son - drunkenpunkin on 1/9/13 at 10:47 pm We saw the geneticist the other day. My son has mitochondrial disease, but fortunately a non-terminal variety. It's a complicated diagnosis, and life will never be easy for him. But, he is here and with treatment should get better than he is right now. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers....

 | The best free entertainment you get during your day (other than TD) - drunkenpunkin on 12/7/12 at 6:16 am There is a rabbit that lives under my shed, and when I let my dogs out in the morning, they try to squeeze their fat asses under there to get to him. He sits just beyond their reach and watches, totally unperturbed and looking bored. After a few minutes, like he's doing them a favor, he takes off ...

 | The weirdest people you've ever met by region (U.S. only) - drunkenpunkin on 12/4/12 at 9:11 am Totally generalizing, of course. But mine would be 1) Michigan. Weird, zero personality, cold. And 2) East TN. Most boring people I've ever been around. You could set them on fire and they wouldn't even get excited. ...

 | OT medical people: gallbladder surgery? - drunkenpunkin on 11/28/12 at 6:57 am I had an infection in my gallbladder and had to have emergency surgery Saturday. Everything went well and I was able to come home later that evening. I'm feeling a lot better as far as pain. Just sore and tired, which is to be expected with surgery. But, I am constantly nauseated. I thought it ...

I dig it, and it will hopefully end confusion over...
