Hi StillHere,
Hope you are doing well. Enjoy your little guy now as I am sure you are, because in about 13 years he is probably going to be a kick butt linebacker in the NFL, earning like $12MM a year, and at that time you will be upset that he wants to give you some good things in life and ignores your H's cell phone calls.....Just trying to lighten.
Tom

Hey Tom...Hope you are doin well also... My little guy is a little scrawny thing, I cant picture him playing football..but you never know..  but if he was then he would have to travel  ....and I already have a setup for him to live in my basement..  Okay, I guess that is a little weird of me...but I cant think that far ahead yet...

Hey us northern foreigners have that LaboUr day weekend this weekend too. It also marks the last day of Summer Vaca for the kiddos. I never understood why some of the American schools start in August only to have Labor Day weekend vaca. My friend said the funniest thing to her son today. He was belly aching about having to go back to school on Tuesday. She said, "Just because I love you so much, let's make it a four day week." HAHAHAHAHA She kills me. Now, back to learning.  I gotta work tomorrow and I work in a major retailer(American, can you guess which one?) and it seems that people always forget that school starts soon and they decide to wait until the very last minute to by school supplies and then complain that we are all sold out. They do the same thing at Halloween and Valentines. Mother's Day is one of the days when Men out number women shopping for sure. Oh I so look forward to it.

That is so true that everyone waits until the last minute to get school stuff....I usually do, but this year I did it early..I think I would usu procrastinate because I really didnt want to believe that school was starting...
Some schools around my area started school this week already too...Thank goodness my town always starts after labor day, well for now it does anyway...

This is the first year since 1991 that I haven't had to do any school shopping for my kiddos.
Not sure if I should be happy or sad....

My kids started August 11th.
I'm a little disappointed. I saw all these new posts and thought people were actually ranting. I was really looking forward to ranting.

...Yes it is a HOLIDAY. A REAL holiday, not a fake one like you silly foreigners observe.  It is LABOR DAY, the weekend to not do any labor! So my rant is that on labor day weekend I am allways working on something. This weekend it will be swapping an engine. (I'm to old for this crap!)

I absolutely DID rant. I know it didn't come off as angry as it could have. I absolutely HATE HATE HATE when people wait until the last minute to buy stuff because I WORK AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTER, so they complain to ME. And then they always end it with, "I am NEVER shopping here again." Seriously, I get paid just a little over minimum wage and I have NO CONTROL over prices or stocking. The managers make me tell stories as to why we ran out but it is simply, supply and demand. We didn't have enough supply for the demand and there is nothing we can do about it FOR DAYS. ARGHHHHHHHH There, was that better? HEHEHEHE. Now, off to work.

I gotta go catch the bus now(don't even get me started on the transit system here).

CP, I might be able to feel sympathy for you if I could work out why in the world anybody would want to "swap an engine". Lol, well cuz the old engine is broken? Its my friends car and I'm the go-to guy everybody knows will do a good job and won't screw them on the price. Fortunatly this freind will pay me. But it seems ever since I can remember, thier has been some project to do on holiday weekends/vacations and/or I haven't had the $ to go away to do anything. I guess thats not a rant, more like whining. So i'll change my rant to .... My rant is people complaining about having no time and money when they don't manage it correctly. Lol
