Pio has a sis. How cute. So do I.
Does your mom still read Pio. If she does I just want to say "Hi" and was he a "difficult" child?
Also, on one of "your" threads you probably told us how old your girls are but I've forgotten. How old are the DDs?

I have two sis's. One five and the other seven years older than me.
Coincidentally, at the moment, my two DD's are 5 and 7 years old. How strange. How much longer can that last?
One other thing I was going to say about boss talks. They are never as bad as you think they are going to be. I didn't mention it before because you had to see that for yourself. The other thing is that any feedback is better than no feedback. You have feedback and now you are planning solutions. So even the negative is becoming a positive in your mind. There is a feeling of being a small child being scolded. That is always the worst part. I jsut always remember that my boss puts on his garter belt and clamps on his stockings one leg at a time - just like I do. Oops! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I meant pants - yeah that's right - pants.
I think my mom still reads. I don't know if she still reads this thread though. But she does read newspapers and things. I think she is still searching for traicionado.

In approximately one year, my DDs will be 6 and 8. The correct answer would have been about one year.
Any takers on the train question?

It apparently was a trick question because you flunked it.

Pio,
Are all systems go for the separation? Is WW going to WDW with you and DD's? When does the vacation start?

When my children were 5 and 7 the thought of having an A was the most alien thing I could ever thought of.
I was a "mommy" through and through. Your DDs are SO young. Hey, wait till they're teens. THEN you know how your early parenting turns out.
Y'know none of this "work" stuff really matters. My H and my kids adore me. That's all I'll care about on my death bed.
The feedback was good. It was very positive. I started the meeting saying I'd had enough and was looking elsewhere. I finished on a positive and "ok, I'll do this". So, my manager isn't so bad at her own management skills.

This train question: Well this should keep you busy and may help ToddAC hold back a few brain cells.
If a train leaves Denver, Colorado at 12:00 Noon and heads East at 88 mph and another train leaves Newark, New Jersey at 3:30 PM that same afternoon heading west at 112 mph, at what time will the trains collide?
Bonus 1: At what time will it first appear on CNN?
Bonus 2: How many days will it take CNN to realize it is no longer a "top news story"?
Bonus 3: Who will CNN decide was to blame? Our vacation starts July 31st at 1:35 AM from Bahrain. We arrive WDW on August 1st. WW goes to Mexico on August 12th. We are full speed ahead.

I don't know what time the trains will collide. Geez, I hated those questions at school. They were called "problems" and they were certainly problems for me.
It will appear on CNN almost immediately probably by AmCam.
It will disappear from CNN when there isn't mass carnage and hundreds killed or when a PR Miss Universe faints.
CNN will decide that the drunken train drivers or the "Government" is to blame and THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION AND HEADS WILL ROLL.

My kids are 25 (26 next month) and 28. How old does that make me? Another trick question.
Having adult children who have turned into wonderful adults is the most satisfying thing on the planet.

Well, I wouldn't know...
JK and I agree. Mine are doing very well despite their inherited DNA.

Jen,

What do they do?

Yep, DS is 28 and still lives at home. He's a musician and artist. DD is 25 and lives with her WONDERFUL boyfriend. She was in a relationship before that from when she was 15 with a guy who verbally and emotionally abused her. I think of her boyfriend as my son in law and know that when they get back from their trip they will very likely announce their engagement. They are both the marrying kind and VERY happy.
My DD majored in Classics at university, worked at the finance company I worked for as a holiday job and then started work there full time when she graduated. She doesn't want to go back even though they've kept her job open for the 8 months she'll be away. She wants to get married and have babies.
My DS also has a wonderful girlfriend but until he gets a "real" job, marriage is a bit far away for them.

1. Eating late at night close to your bedtime will cause you to gain weight. True or False?
2. What is schizophrenia?

Eating late at night WILL cause you to gain weight. You are meant to breakfast like a King, lunch like a "something I can't remember what" and have dinner like a pauper.
Schizophrenia is a mental illness, very misunderstood. It does NOT mean split personality. Sheesh, it's too late to be thinking about this stuff.
