Best wishes to your son, odeon.  Hope he enjoyed his birthday

That always is a good sign.

Belated congratulations.

No hangover aftermath?

The good of today is that a lot of paperwork has been dealt with.

And, the reward, koffie met slagroom, en twee scholiertjes (OK, lookalikes of scholiertjes, from the Aldi) is even better.

After an early appointment with a "new" Orthopedic surgeon to be briefed on the eight X-Rays I had two weeks ago, he does not want to commit more surgery upon my new hip joint, yet.
He wants to perform another series of Physical Therapy sessions, his way, for me.
 

I suppose that is good.

It's my son's birthday today. He's 18.

I think this is scary as hell but it's also a good thing.

As a special birthday present, did you let him wash the Jag?

He isn't old enough for THAT yet.

He did want to taste a beer, though, so we got him a Heineken (usually considered to be a harmless first beer). He tried a glass of it and said it tasted like earwax.

Should have given him a Stella.

Physical therapy is better than surgery, if it works.

At least you will know that you did everything you could to avoid further surgery if it does come down to more surgery in the end.

Nah, just a little disagreement with a teacher. Nothing serious.

I've had my parakeet since my senior year of high school.... this little girl is already five years old....

I have had my dog since I was a junior in college.  She is already fifteen years old.

This one was, certainly. Can you believe a teacher that, in the morning when the receiver is at his grumpiest, asks if the autistic kid in question hates him?

I may be able to top that one.  I was extremely stressed studying for the CPA exam and started crying at work.  The area manager was on the audit site and asked what was wrong.  Stupid me asked if someone could kill the big boss.  I was put on medical leave until the exam and botched the apology when I met with all the bigwigs after the exam.  Autistic?  Yep.

I was offered a very reasonable increase in salary, plus some additional benefits, at my current job. The 12-yo was at his humblest and we had a long chat about my notice and what he could do to reverse it. It turns out he was able to do a lot when pressed hard enough. It seems that my service are important to the company.

Anyway, I have decided to stay after all.

Congratulations (I think?)
