Quick! Someone call 911! Is there a doctor in the house??!! @donaldtoo is "Jones-ing" from lack of sufficient food!

He skipped LUNCH (his favorite meal at the office--often provided to him free of charge) to work through his midday, appointed meal time event, to finish a deadline project?

Hang in there donaldtoo, buddy, we've got the medical professionals you need on the way (after a quick snack)!

We still do not know if @donaldtoo went to ravage his fridge or ordered food after arriving home

This reminds me of a kinda' funny story...
I'm one of 3 sons (we also have a younger sis), that are close in age.
My folks have a financial planner that was over at our house many times later in the evening during our growing years going over business with my pop at our dining room table.
Anyway, the company the planner works for recently threw the man an anniversary party and he gave a speech. During the speech he brought up the visits to our home during those years. Something he specifically remembered, was that, between us 3 boys, our refrigerator door never seemed to be closed...!!!

Was he a bit worried about the electricity bill?
Reminds me of something one of my uncles said...
That if they had one more son..He would have bought a restaurant type fridge (with windows and heavy fan on top).
Because the door was almost open all the day!!.

I AM in the full workforce. I teach 7th, 8th, and 9th grade science. I am on summer break right now.

Sorry, I didn't want to sound condescending or something.
I actually was thinking some of our members here were students, not teachers.

My little one fought hard tonight trying to go to sleep. I am now exhausted just rocking him all evening until he finally fell asleep.

Whoa!! Holy cow, Batman, talk about a mark-up in Canada!!

Not a mark up exactly. They are not available here, period.
We do however, have a compounding pharmacy that makes them 100% from scratch.

Canadian pharmaceuticals are notoriously inexpensive. Americans flock over the border in droves to scoop up both prescription and OTC drugs. Especially now, with such a favourable exchange rate.

You'll miss these days. Trust me.

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

No doubt I will. I already can't believe he will be turning 2 on August 8th.

I am now falling asleep myself. Time to go night night.

 

[JenniferS]

Must be something wrong with me--I rather like lumpy potatoes!!

Moi aussi.

A few places do Christmas in July stuff, like sales and the like. Just something fun to do/celebrate in the midst of summer. Maybe it is just a Midwest thing.

I noticed the Hallmark Channel plays a lot of Christmas movies in July. Oh and the shopping networks are selling everything for a happy holiday!

 

[MickeyMouseGal]

I love Christmas, but in July is a bit much for me.

Sittin' on the dock of the bay...

Watchin' the tide roll away...

Your're still ALL getting it wrong people...cargo shorts. Done.

Ditto!

I have that Mickey glass.

I've been collecting them all, it will be a gift to my son. I bought one and when he is here it is his go to glass. Been on a hunt.

My problem with cargo shorts are if I stuff them my shorts fall down. I'm too old for slouching shorts.

I hope it doesnt become an extended trend.
We already have to deal with Christmas being announced even before Halloween is done!

Around 5 years ago Walmart started playing Christmas music with the school supplies/Halloween launch. They got so many complaints they finally pulled it. I love Christmas but that makes me hate the retail season. By the time the actual day comes it has been worn out.
Frustrating,

The only cute mid year Christmas celebration I have been apart of is Mr & Mrs Claus vacationing at the Swan and Dolphin in July.
They are in beach wear and it is kinda cute. That is my limit.

 

[Gabe1]

I can't say the same. Once I got to college, all bets were off!

And there is the rub...I had fun in college, my DD worked her tushie of in college, my DS well he had even way more fun in college than I did. Part of the reason why his car remained parked in my Drive Way while he was away. My safety check.
