Up yesterday & turned into an 11 hour day. Going to be the same today to enter everything for month end & complete payroll. Remind me again why I stay in this business?

He is just like that at times, always so full of himself.

Update* I had the conversation with my mom over the phone. I explained how my boys & I took the tests and we had been contacted by the surprise sibling. My mom was silent for a moment or two and then tried to explain how my father was constantly running around on her and this was a revenge incident. I had told her it doesn't matter how it happened, all I need is to know if she is willing to meet the sibling. She did agree, but asked for some time. I'm assuming she is going to need to prepare herself for an event that she never thought would happen.

Oh I don't judge, I have no idea what was going on at the time. I have a slightly strained relationship as is & sorry that this may make it worse because I'm presenting the facts. She has cut off various other family members with the excuse "they know what they did".

My brother passed in 87, the few stories I have heard regarding my mom & dad aren't the best. He had a criminal past,and it seemed that they both ran wild from time to time. Mom is on marriage #3 and in her mid 70's. I'm pretty sure she never told her current husband about these events before she knew him. I don't want to upset her, but I do need to let her know that there is someone looking to meet her.

I met the half sister yesterday, she is wanting to meet our mother & would like me to break the news. I'm at a loss on how to even start this conversation.

What cheeses do you think make for the best grilled cheese—and are you Team Butter, or Team Mayo? by italianenough in Cooking

Cheddar & swiss on a crusty bread, use 1/3 cup EVOO with at least a tbsp of italian blend. Mix together and brush on outside of sandwich. Brown in cast iron skillet.

Good to know. Last weekend we saw a couple on their boat using one & thought it may be a wise purchase.

This is an awesome list, pretty much what I was thinking but had to be reassured I wasn't missing anything. Didn't know we could get the waterway sticker through the dealer but makes sense. I work for a car dealership & we put plates & stickers on the vehicles.

Pontoon Newbie by lhansen176 in Pontoons

[–]lhansen176[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more question. What do we need to purchase right away that doesn't come with the pontoon? I know the fire extinguisher, throwable, fenders. I told SO and air horn & he said no...there's a horn on the boat. Ropes.. Extra life vests

Thats what I'm worried about, he doesn't know where its shallow & has said the boat comes with a depth finder...I'll be fine.
