She has been working at a Dunkin Donuts which will force her into talking with people. Apparently one is opening closer to home but her boss doesn't want to lose her. I am glad to hear this news.
I had called my younger daughter to let her know that a new quilt is on the way the way to her.
It also sounds like daughter may be getting her ankle fused...the one she really messed up last year in a car accident. It should reduce the pain she has been experiencing which is a good thing since she is prone to addiction. Overall, news on that front sounds very positive. Grandson is taking up archery too...along with baseball and football. He's a busy kid.
(Bold mine)
I would pay serious money to watch a sport that combined archery, baseball, and football.

Lady Gaga once performed with a Led Zeppelin cover band.

Gaga is a talented voice of a generation.

Trey would do it riding at full speed on an ATV...probably sliding sideways.
Shut up and take my money!!

Scotland said "never again" after a single school shooting, enacted proper gun laws, and has not had a problem since.

Today I learned that I'm a 51 year old rube. I was at the local after work. An older fellow I know from the bar but not personally - a bar buddy - sat next to me.
The barman was struggling to open a bottle so I handed him my pocket knife. It's old but it can shave the fuzz off a peach. The barman thanked me and handed it back.
Bar buddy commented on the sharpness of the blade, so I handed it to him. He handed it back. I then settled up with the bar, left my keys, wallet, phone, takeaway food, and pocket knife on the bar and went to the gents.
I came back, picked up everything and left.
Pocket knife was not in my pocket when I got home - noticed when I put my keys back in the pocket.
I got played by a 71 year old man. The little squint.
