I will also arse that my 21 year old daughter had to come a few days later due to exams and she manueved St Thomas - ferry- customs- ferry to Tortola and had no issues. It is a bit of a hassle since you want to get to relaxing, but it not hard.
20M trust for each of my three kids. Leaves 200M. 25-30M initial splurge on intown house, beach/bay house, boat, new cars for wife, kids, me. Leaves 170M to live off interest and only take principal to help buy houses for the kids when they are ready for them. I am only living another 20 years max. I cant spend that in 20 years.

We did the same. St Thomas, private boat, clear customs, and stayed on Tortola. Then ferry to JVD etc. Best trip I have done in a decade. Soggy Dollar is fun and you can get around to other spots by boat or cab or ferry.
One thing is for sure: HR is not there to help you or take care of you. There are there to protect the company. Do not believe a word they say.
I was with a group of guys and girls at a Allman Brothers concert in Atlanta. One of the girls had to pee and the line for the port o jons were ten deep, so she pulled up in a pile of tall grass behind a few cars. Well, she squatted down and then started screaming. She stepped in an ant pile and before she knew it there were all up her exposed legs and...We had to convince her to go to the first aid due to embarrassment, but she was glad she did. They let her shower off etc. She did not attend the show.
The OT needs more threads like this and we need a full report tomorrow. Godspeed.
Acqua Al 2 - Florence. Get the "special" pasta app of the day ( it is like 6 homemade pasta) and the blueberry filet entree.
Not as much fired, but I worked on the corporate side of a largeish recruiting agency. The company has an annual large conference that almost all the recruiters, sales folks, and management corporate folks attended. This company maily hires from SEC school kids coming out after 4 years looking for a job. It is basically a three day party for 20somethings. I think the year I left 26 were fired for various reasons including: hooking up in public, drugs in the open, naked on elevators/lobby, arrested, etc.

My son is a rising 8th grader. He has 35-40 kids in his class playing travel ball still. There are likely 6-9 of those kids making the high school team (K-12 school). If you are on the fourth best travel team you are just supplementing the best team with financial resources. It is a joke. Yet all the D team parents think the new batting cage in the backyard will make the difference.
My wife and I are both always early and hate to be late. Problem is that my wife waits the exact number of minutes she needs to get ready before starting to get ready. So, that leaves all the other crap to me. Running to the store, dropping kids, getting a gift, etc. I guess it is better than being late.

Your life becomes about them from day one. It is great, but your life is now about them.
One of my good buddies ended up marrying his younger brother's high school girlfriend. His dad was making the traditional toast at the rehearsal dinner and says something along the lines of "well the bride has had all the boys in the family but me.." Father of the bride was not amused.
Almost same thing as me. Skiing w my son. He was in a spot that he could not get up, so I skied over to help and got him up but got myself off balance. Skiis went up and right ski stuck in the snow mid air. I came down, ski stayed up, knee went all the way over. Thought about surgery, but decided on rehab and no more ski. Still hurts and that was almost four years ago. LCL is better than ACL though.
We shall see, but Riz could get Ozzy and Devens and Cerie's votes. Along with whomever is left in the game that does not make final 3. He could easily win. And of those left, I think he should. He had the second hardest path to the end (other newcomer who won last season).
My wife (no pic) uses snapmaps with my two older girls and will likely do the same for my son once he starts moving around on his own.
We have two:

Half Aussie/Half King Charles: Oldest daughter put us on the waitlist at the start of covid and 18 months later, we flew to St Paul to get her. Sweetest dog ever. Not for hunting, but fast, smart, trained well etc

Bahamian Potcake: Vacationing in Abaco, Bahamas over christmas two years ago. Weather was terrible, so not much for kids to do. Ran into a family that was fostering these puppies. 16 found on the street. She is beautiful and sweet, but has food aggression we are working very unsuccessfully on.
Four of the five in my immediate family are #pureblood. My oldest daughter had to take one shot to get into the nursing school. She has had autoimmune issues, severe weight loss (no pic, but did not need), and had to be put on a heart monitor since. She loves her job but not the jab she had to get to have it.
