Well yeah! You don't strike me as a lady that puts stuff together half assed.

Yeah but this is the notoriously flimsy harbor freight kit.

You could literally shift the whole thing with a gentle push.......until it got screwed to the 4x4 base that is anchored to the ground with 8 spikes that are 18" long.
The frame would twist and shift until I got 2x4's screwed into all the corners.

I was really worried that all the panels would be popped out.

I am repurposing a lot of parts from my 8' long brooder that I don't need anymore.

The ideal thing would be to sell that property, it is in a bad location and we don't need it plus the fact he isn't managing it properly.
Won't lie I could use the money too.
My dad "bless his heart" put the property in both our names i'd already have it gone if it wasn't that way.

He won't learn. My ex never did. He'd go a month w/o cutting it b/c "it rained", then we'd get a write up and he'd have a big fit (how dare they!), then cut it and then wait til they complained again... UNLESS his parents were coming over... then he'd be sure and mow b/c he dad would always comment on it. That's like that one good thing about his parents coming over. Every year, for 5 years. YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW! and if I commented that he needed to mow before we got written up he'd get mad at me... apparently he didn't have eyes.


They don't do that here unless you don't call them off. They have a 'hey your kid isn't at school' message that goes out now so even if I forget they remind me. She gets good grades & is in Beta club, is in 8th grade, but taking 9th grade classes... so academically she's doing fine, but it's a numbers thing. They used to be 15 days a semester before they complained, but now it's by the hours and she's probably at 16 days total for the year, but it's like 112 hrs which makes it sound horrible. It's 16 days people... 16 days out of 150, calm down.

Haha! I had teachers literally wish death on me, of course my BS alarm is on point.

Chicky beat me to the BS call! LOL

Yeah......the school thing.

I had to work. I didn't have time to go to school.
I was kicked out in 10th grade because I was pregnant. Yeah I was a bad influence.

I was a straight A student even though I was rarely there. I attended 2 days a week from 7th grade on.

I took my GED test and had I gotten one more math question right the governor would of had to give me an award for academic excellence.

Yeah, it is a numbers game directly linked to funding.

I was out three full months in 9th grade with rocky mountain spotted fever. I went back with a Dr's note and was told I didn't attend school there.
I was 15 years old, called my dad to come get me but before we went home we stopped at Wendy's and got me a job.

I have to call bullsh*t on that one, seems like they're smarter the less they go.

That is funny!

School can be that way and often depends on the crowd the student is in.

I had a cousin that was moved from school to school during high school. He had the same issues in all of them. I turns out there is a mental illness component with him.

How long will you be gone. If it's not long I'd make sure she's got enough food and water in her cage. Either she'll eat it, or she won't. Either way, when you get home your problem should be taken care of.

My son will be here to look after the animals. Leaving tomorrow and coming home Sunday. I don’t think I will force feed her today, but not sure.

She is a strange bird. Her poop looked good today. She held it for 16 hours!!!

My tiny human is home w/ a migraine she's had for the past 2 days. I spent a couple hours writing up an email to her principal b/c I keep getting 'your kid is missing a lot of days' letters from them. How can I send her to school when she's sick. I know the understand, but it's soooo freakin' annoying. It's not like I took her out of school to go on a trip that could have been sched during a break or something like that. She's sick & she's suffered for several days already... I'm keeping her home so maybe she'll get better and go back tomorrow.

I hope she feels better quickly. My cousin is always missing work with migraines and I have no idea how she keeps her job.

Here they will send the police after the parents for absences.

To be safe, get a Dr. note.

We get truancy letters with each absence, and after 7 “unexcused” (what they consider) is followed with court, I think. My son is in private school now and we can get away with almost anything.
