The hit man has been canceled!
The kid called this AM, and.... the kid has plane tickets!
He will survive. But just barely. I hit send on the text to the hit man canceling taking the Skid out just as the explosive package was being placed at his door.
Kidding of course.
This grouchy demanding StepDad's heart is full. It moves me immensely how much he is a part of all of us.
Ha-hmmmmmm

O/T - Missed interview call, stupid diabetic tricks, needles in both eyes and shredded man cards.
DW made her grandmother's peanut butter balls for a office party yesterday. I had one in the evening. I entered a correction in my insulin pump, and... forgot to confirm the correction so it never dosed. As we tucked in... I felt high BG and tested (my glocuse monitoring system provider jacked up my sensor order so I am perforating my fingers a dozen of so times a day). I corrected and fell asleep.
O/T From lunch plans to hearbreak.
From lunch plans to hearbreak.
I was about to leave for lunch with my former #2 who recently reached out to reconned after he resigned from our former company. I texted him to let him know I was leaving for the Greek place he selected.
He replied a few minutes later that he would have to ask for a rain check on lunch. He had just received the call that his dad passed.
He and I were in a 1:1 ~2yrs ago when he got the call that his dad had just been Dx'd with stage 4 cancer and only had about 4mo to live. I had a hand on his shoulder as he sobbed on that call.

O/T My on the spectrum former #2 reached out yesterday.
He resigned in early Oct. The company ran through the senior level of management like a dose of salts through the summer. All but one of the highest compensated leaders (my level) are gone. They replaced me in Aug, and that individual resigned in Sept.
It is that bad.
Apparently the client decided to remove that level of leadership.
My former #2 wants to do lunch next week.
He and I did reach a decent place with each other the second time he was my #2.
O/T - Update on my hail pummeled car.
Last Sat dad and I stopped by the paintless dent repair shop to check in on our vehicles. Dad's new hood had been delivered and was in the paint shop getting painted. My bumper had still not been delivered. So, I bought plane tickets to get home to my bride so we could head out this Saturday for TG with my ILs in SpermLand.

Not showing appropriate concern. Bad Rags, bad.
It was one looooong day today.
My mom woke up in intense pain at 0500 this morning. Dad and I loaded her up and we headed to the ER. My mom is not a dramatic person, is usually a trooper, with a high threshhold for pain. Two knee replacements with intense PT and range of motion recovery protocals. Not one peep out of her.
She was sobbing with the pain of this thing.

Thank you for your service Veterans. Happy Veterans Day.
As our world struggles with conflict, it is the Veterans who have stood firm in the defense of the ideas of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness througout the history of our country.
My more focused thanks to my dad and my son for their service.
To the STalkers who have served, thank you.
Please thank your family members from me for their service.
O/T 109 kids tonight.
Hung outside with dad and did the T or T thing. Mom is cold natured so was only out for about 15mins. We pulled the plug at 20:15 when the temp hit 45*F and the pickup and van loads of non neighborhood candy raiders started showing up. My general thought is if they are not hiking around doing actual T or T and are being shuttled in ..... my interest wanes quickly.
All of the kids were polite, well behaved, and calm.

I've been lying for nearly 15yrs. Sorry STalkers
I took a look at our CO today. Just for shits and giggles. I have not looked at it in a decade or so.
I have been quoting the CS obligation of the SpermIdiot established in 1994 as $133/Mo.
It was actually..... $132/mo

O/T So, how nasty should I get with my insurance adjuster?
This individual is a useless waste of skin.
I filed the claim online while the hail was still pounding my car nearly 3wks ago. I took the car to the repair shop that the insurance company directed me to get the estimate from. It was useless. That shop, the one my insurance company sent me to, does not do hail repairs. Their estimator told me that the estimate was not accurate and could be as much as $10K low compared the actual repair costs.
