Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
Since we are posing scenarios- Found out about the 8th grade class trip at PTO tonight. They bus close to 400 kids to the local amusement park. They do not pre-pay. Basically they supply the bus that drops them off at the park, the kids are told to meet at the end of the day. They are responsible for paying to get in, eating etc, policing themselves. The chaperones just wander the park looking to see if anyone is doing anything wrong. (The chaperones are not familiar with the kids so I am not sure how they monitor anything.) The principal told us that some parents just don't understand that the rules are not the same on this trip as on other trips or during the school year. If a kid is smoking or swearing "what are we going to do? We aren't going to punish them this close to the end of school. What are we going to do? Tell them they can't participate in graduation?"
I was speechless. I can't imagine why something truly interesting hasn't happened so far on this trip. Or more likely it has but no one would ever admit it. I am not particularly worried that lil will do something stupid but I have significant doubts about a few of the kids that I know.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
my parents (more my mom) expect me to check in when I am at home. As my mom put it...she'll worry about me until she's 80. It's annoying as hell since really, I'm a grown man, but I guess I get their viewpoint since I'm their only kid.
But still, they don't have to check in with me, cause really, I don't care.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
When I am home I do tell them if I am not coming home, coming home late, mostly just so they know when to expect someone coming thru the door, if I didnt turn up they wouldnt worry too much.
I do have a funny story. A couple of years ago I had an absolutly terrifying drive back from UVM, I ended up trying to find a hotel midway somewhere in NH. (icy roads, freezing conditions, no sleeping in the car). So when I finally found a motel, checked in it was 2AM and I was so white knuckled from the ride, I called home, because well I wanted someone to know that I was not dead that night. When I got back my mom said "you know we were not concerned until you called". They figure I know enough to get off the road, sleep it off, etc etc I guess. And I am a pretty independant person.
Really I just wanted some puppy time. I miss having a dog.No worries Winger. Trumpet already has an offer to watch her dog for the weekend. Just depends on if she can find something a little more convent for her or not perhaps. Either way, that angle is mostly covered.
And personally, I perfer to mug for the camera before games, and not really worry about it during the games, unless the game is a real yawner.
I don't check in. Never have. Now with facebook my mom can passively see what I am up to, when I used to be more active with the daily photo she would look at that. The good thing is, it is not that they dont care, they just dont worry.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
I check in, more as a common courtesy. When I lived at home, I felt like I should. Even if I was going to be late for dinner, so they knew not to wait for me. When I travel, I'll call to let them know I got there OK, and just to say hi. I may call when I get home, but they usually know my itinerary. I would let them know, especially when I was traveling more for work, just so they could plan, if there was an event or something. I never took it as I had to.
I don't expect them to call me either. They went to Greece for 3 1/2 weeks and I never heard from them (other than a couple of postcards). My sister-in-law, who never goes a day without speaking to her parents, even when on vacation, could not get how my parents never contacted me while they were away. I was like "They're on VACATION."
And wow - DI is full of n00bs!!! Stay away!!!!

*beer*
I'd just say to make them used to that... I let my parents know about things because I like to talk about what I'm doing... but i also go weeks between calling at times... if you don't have the time then you don't have it... you are an adult, you aren't lying in a gutter, its all good.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
No joke. Or posters coming back out of the woodwork.
I want to rant again, about one of the "new" NMU guys. He's going to the Xcel this weekend as the director for the pep band. That wouldn't be so bad, except for this interesting tidbit: his wife (yes, I said wife... and he's still in a college pep band even though this is his EIGHTH year of undergrad) is 36 weeks pregnant, on bedrest, and they're watching her blood pressure because they're concerned she might have pre-eclampsia. And he's STILL going.
Am I out of line for thinking this is... well... not the most responsible choice?

His wife should divorce him due to such acts of stupidity. She might want to abort the baby, too, to help cease the lineage of that guy's gene pool.

Well, she was planning on going herself, until the doctor said no.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
Well, lets think about this... she married a guy who is running a college pep band after being in UNDERGRAD for 8 years. I hate to be misogynistic... but, man, if there was ever a case of getting what you deserve.
I know a guy shouldn't be chained to his wife but when there's a possibility of serious problems... I'm not even sure why this is even a question.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
Yep!
Dang. Although Twitch and I could go Good Cop/Bad Cop.
Darn. Okay.
My family knows when I leave for trips and when I should be back. I usually call them to let them know I didn't die or kill anyone, but that's about it. They even know enough not to call me because roadtrips and such are my "vacations" and I don't want to be bothered.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 106: My Team I Do Deeply Dig
I never check in with my parents. If they want to know what I'm doing, they can call me, if I feel like it, I'll answer. I'm pretty sure I go on entire trips without them knowing. When I was in high school I had to tell them, and when I was at home during breaks when in college I told them, most of the time, and just as a courtesy. At this point, I'm on my own, and they realize that.

Two things...
1. EIGHTH YEAR of undergrad? At NMU no less? Please tell me is not a full time student. Christ, even if he is in education or nursing (NMU's two respectable programs) that's a big stretch.
2. Yeah, that's not the right decision.
