just drink coffee with a little cream and sugar....sheesh

Morning everyone.....

speaking of coffee is on, nice and hot.......

Dunno why i woke up at 6:30 this morning, made the coffee working on my 3rd cup right now. Went out on the porch petted the dogs and the scruffy barn cat we have. Looked at all the trees, felt the sun and the wind. Something in my mind told me to look at my phone, especially since i turned it off last night. Finally at about 7:30, i went to my phone turned it on, and there was a message there from my mom. I'm oh cool what's up. Opened the message to find out that this morning at 7am my grandmother at 88yrs of age had finally passed to the next world from cancer. Maybe i shouldn't have turned on my phone today.....it's gonna be one of those........

welp time to sit by the old oak and listen for a bit, maybe just maybe the wind will tell me something today.....:joint:

be blessed everyone....

Be glad you waited to turn it on.

Remember those thoughts you had enjoying the morning?

Those are the thoughts she took with her.

Sorry for your loss.

Why would you charge your daughter for you to finish the job you started? Explain by what reasoning she owes you. What is the lesson here? Please reply as an educator teaching at a police academy. How does gaslighting your daughter promote her integration into lawful society?
Because he's the dad. Edit, my daughter would ask where the pins are and do it herself.

Just got back from a family reunion where my siblings and i are the eldest.
It feels weird to be in that big house without Mom & Dad. :(

I too am sorry for your loss & unfortunately know the feeling.

Condolences, alas we are reaching the age where death is becoming an all too common and expected occurence.

"He's the dad" doesn't cover why he seems to be teaching her that extortion is an acceptable and normal mode of human interaction. Would you legitimize extortion with/to your kids?

So my central question to @TacoMac remains. What is the lesson here?

You're trying to turn me into a caffeine junkie o_O probably tastes better than coffee.
Coffee is a wonderful thing. It's very much like marijuana: you have to find your own brand.

If coffee seems bitter to you, you're either drinking too dark a roast or too cheap a coffee.

Experiment. Since it seems bitter, try a lighter roast.

Try Gavalia light roast. https://www.gevalia.com/light-roast-regular-ground

Because I said so seemed much more like a bully's tactic than education. Coming from the 1960's I saw how that parental process back fired. Gaslighting was a tactic I witnessed the women using. I saw how that tore kids apart too, implied guilting and shaming ::shrug::

Sounds like I grew up in home similar to how you raised your daughter. My dad would have had me helping all the way through the task. I wouldn't have needed to ask where the pins were. I would have been the one to put them back in the hinges on the door and sat the door aside :)

Yea, I know Aussie's think it's piss, but I just like big beer cans, 12 oz's just doesn't work that well for me. Plus, it tastes great after a few Jameson's and a spliff :)

We don’t hate it just not our best beer so it gets pushed to the side. The generally sell it on tap in the city, we used to drink it with tourists and tell the outlandish tales of crocs and snakes. None of which were true but you never let let a bit of bullshit ruin a good story lol.
Do you start calling people “cobber” when you drink it and when people ask about stuff do you answer with “she’ll be right mate” or the modern “yeah,nah”.
But I’ve also been told that Fosters overseas isn’t the same as it here and taste better overseas. This was off a friend who went to the states. Can’t see them making to recipe’s, maybe it was all the cocaine he was doing made it taste awesome lol
