OT: Down the Wabit Hole (Boredom Thread)

[BagHead]

Rough plans are:
-Move to Daytona for Embry, Aerospace Engineering,
-AZ online for ECE, maybe swap it to aerospace and rent an apartment for the year of in person stuff.
-ASU online for astronomical and planetary sciences.

If the schools all say I'm too dumb to do the smart people stuff, I'll go in person to Beloit College (not a bad commute), or online somewhere and figure things out as I go. I could do the Madison or MKE in person commute, but I'd play chicken with a tree if I had to drive in those cities daily.

Embry-Riddle, huh? That's a boyhood dream of mine. Go **** yourself. Also, I hope you get in and knock it out of the park.

The only reason it's an option is because the inlaws are in FL. I've resigned myself to the fast we're going to be moving down there within a few years so the wife can take care of her mom anyways.

I've been looking at some 5-10 acre properties within driving distance of the school So we can put a 2nd house on the property along with a couple of conex containers for my hoarder MIL so she's not paying $15k a year in storage fees. She's not adding anything new, just won't get rid of anything.

I'm a little embarrassed to say this, but it's for me not the kid. Uncle Sam will be footing the bill for the schooling. I'm just waiting for the wheels of bureaucracy to spin enough to spit out that approval letter. FAFSA is done.

I'm mostly looking at online schooling, since there's one one school I'd move to attend in person. This all scares the hell outta me.

Glad you're using your GI Bill. Make sure you put in for the MN 9/11 bonus too if you haven't already as well. State does have some offerings that you may wanna look into BEFORE you change your Drivers License to something else lol.

Opening the pool for the year is a PITA. It's one of those aboveground ones that you setup. We turned it into a saltwater pool last year (the wife is allergic to chlorine) and tired something for winterization that didn't work (user error probably).

3 days of filtering the water so far and probably 2 more before I can get in a give the sides and bottom a good scrub.

I joined the iPhone cult today. As soon as I held it I immediately felt like I was better than those android losers. But on the flip side I now have an inferiority complex because I didn't get the latest and greatest iPhone.

Joking aside (I couldn't care less about phone brands) the iPhone works with the hearing aides I just got from the VA and my Samsung didn't.

So it's 5:30 in the morning and I get a text from the kid:
I just f-ed up my bed at a KT
I'm so unhappy
It's your child btw

My reply was: "Who dis? New phone."

All the while I was wondering is:
Who is this KT you're f-ing?
Why are you telling "me" this info? This is "mom territory."
Is this really my kid or a wrong number? (I don't save names/numbers in my phone.)

10 mins later she walks in in tears saying she f-ed up her bed. I'm still wondering how she f-ed up her bed and why was she even awake 5 hours earlier than normal.

Then she takes me outside and shows me her truck and it made a bit more sense. She somehow got stuck on one of those cement gas pump barriers. Panicked and tore up the side of her truck bed, scraped the hell out of the driver side doors, and pushed the back of the back of the cab in/back good 4."

I'm outside looking at it and doing my damnedest not to just bust out laughing at the whole thing as she's explaining it all.

For the DnD nerds on here. This looks like it would be cool as hell to be a part of.

This is the cynical jerkwad in me, but dios mio: getting through combat rounds in DND is tedious enough. Adding 3 layers of bureaucracy on top of that sounds like torture. "This encounter could've been an email!"

So this means you're all in, right?

I wouldn't want to be on of the DMs for this, but as a player it would be fun to try out. Maybe as an online player and not in person though. That could potentially be a very potent smelling area, depending on how many of the nerds forget to practice proper hygiene.
