    Phone lost in hull of plane

    We have a small area of our car between the seat and the center console that we call "the black hole." Once you drop something in that spot, you'll never get it back!

    What is your most irrelevant claim to fame?

    When I was a kid I was in the funeral scene of the movie "Convoy" from the 1970's. I was also featured in a national news story in the 90's that aired on World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.

    What Old-Fashioned Words do you Rarely Hear Anymore?

    And the new term for no problem is "no worries." When I was a kid I wore "culottes." I don't ever see that word anymore. Culottes are like capri pants but with a huge flare/flowy material so they looked like a skirt, but actually had separate legs. They hit below the knee but higher than the...

    Parents of College Class of 2018 (A.K.A., "Is this the line to the poor house?")

    Congrats to your DS!! Happy belated birthday to your DD and congrats on her new job!! I look forward to the day when both kids are self-sufficient, but it’s still going to be a while for us. At least DD graduated debt-free and DS is going to a CC, so no debt there, either. These kids are way...

    DD graduated a little over two weeks ago and then left for Thailand with her bf the next morning. They're arriving back in two days (Wednesday). She was so glad to be done!! She was able to stay on at her research job as an independent contractor (with a nice raise) during her gap year She'll be...

    Hang in there! His day will be here before you know it. I'm sorry to hear about the finances with two kids in college. Hopefully your DH's business will grow now that he can focus on just that!

    Car Break-ins

    In my city, one doesn't worry about a car being broken into as much as one worries about the car being stolen. Nothing is safe in my city which is the #1 city in the nation for car theft per capita. DD's 15 year old car was stolen, ran into the ground in a joy ride, and left on the side of a...

    OMG, how stressful for your DD! I suppose things that happen like that come with the territory, but still stressful nonetheless. How long is her film and will it be on YouTube? I’d love to see it if you can pm me a link when it is all finished. A first film is a major accomplishment!!! Does...

    We've received several college announcements over the years, so yes, we are doing them. But we are going with the more traditional announcements (school embossed emblem, degree earned, etc..) this time vs the photo postcard announcement that we did when she graduated from high school. We ordered...

    How is everyone doing during the last home stretch? I'm on spring break this week, so thought I'd post an update. We just ordered DD's graduation announcements and cap/gown today, so it's getting real! Didn't we just do this recently with high school?? Honestly, where has the time gone??? DD...

    This Is Us- Season two

    I thought that Jack coming out the front door with the dog and a bag of photos albums was too far fetched. There is no way he could have done that in a blazing fire that had started downstairs. They couldn’t even make it to the stairs, let alone him finding the dog, finding the mementoes, and...

    I'm so sorry about the car accidents. I'm glad your DD was not seriously hurt. My DS was in an accident (his 2nd one in after having one a year ago), but nothing serious and he wasn't hurt. The repairs and expenses add up though. We told him that he is on his own next time so he needs to stop...

    Perimenopause is making me INSANE!

    I'm checking back in 2 years later and 5 1/2 years since I first posted on this thread. I am now 53 years old and I still haven't made it to the big M. I had a period a few weeks ago after not having one since June. So the process continues. No symptoms really to speak of besides the cycles...

    Your pet's best guilt trip story, or picture

    My boy got in trouble for running away from me when I wanted to take his picture. He is so smart and can tell when I'm going to take a photo, so he bolts. I called him back over and made him sit to get his picture taken with his brother. As you can see, he (on the left) looked shameful! :rotfl2:

    Wow, they beat the odds with keeping their relationship going long distance throughout college! Sounds like your DD's bf is going to find great success with his first job. Will he start after he graduates or has he already graduated? It seems early to offer a job in September for a May or June...

    How exciting for your DD!! What area is she doing her internship in at WDW? A co-worker's daughter was in that program a couple of years ago and has continued on working at WDW. She is a major Disney character/cast member now. I hope your DD has a great semester!!! ETA: DD started school a week...

    This Is Us- Season two

    Even when characters die, they are still on this show. We haven't seen the last of William. This show is a constant time warp.

    That sounds like a nice place with the all of the updates! My DD had the opposite experience. She was in a new on-campus dorm with all of the bells and whistles for 2 years. Now she and her bf are a few miles from campus in a not-so-great area, but better than where her bf was living before (who...

    We got DD all moved into her new apartment. The complex is better than the area her boyfriend used to live in (walking distance to the university) where DD's car got stolen. Hopefully all will go well! The management seems to be on top of things pretty well. She decided to postpone the MCAT exam...
