Brandon got a job in computer network engineering. He's an indepent contractor working for a company installing computer software among other things. At 17 3/4, he's making as much $$ as I did at my last job! ....And he's still in love with Katie.
I finally got to meet the parents. Actually, just the mom, and she was very nice.

The Jimmy has a fuel line problem now. I'm driving it until it breaks down and then when that happens, I guess I won't have a car anymore.

I had my last surgery on my finger recently, and I plan to get my nails done on the 14th. It actuall doesn't look all that bad.

Is it wrong to leave your kids in the car when you're just running in the post office or convienence store? And I'm talking kids, like under 10.
I walked out of the post office the other day, and saw my dream car (a Honda Pilot) parked right up at the entry instead of a couple of steps away in the parking lot. Then I heard it was running, and to top it all off - there were little babies in the car! As I went back in to measure the individuals in the post office to figure out which one would be so lazy as to leave their kids in the car alone, a girl came out and asked if she [her car] was in my way. I said, "Is this your car?" She said, "Yes" and I said, "It's wrong to leave your kids in the car! Are you THAT lazy to not want to carry them in with you and risk someone kidnapping them? Or stealing the whole car?" She went on to tell me that she is a stay at home mom who takes good care of her kids, and her husband makes a lot of money- yada yada yada. I interrupted her by saying, "All I'm saying is it is WRONG to leave your kids in the car- they're irreplaceable!" She seemed to think that since she had a lot of money (she even made it a point to show me her wedding ring), it was okay for her to leave her kids alone. Whatever. Then she drove around to where I was parked and saw what I was driving, then said, "Oh, yes. You're poor, looser bitch" I guess she had to have the last word.
When I got home, I called the police station to ask if It was against the law to leave your kids alone in the car and the officer I spoke with said that it depends on the individual circumstance.

It reminds me of when Cristy Robel lost her son due to a carjacking in Kansas City. It's sad, really sad.
