Need Input Here...

As most of you know, I've been recently empty nested by my Lovely Valedictorian Daughter. Yes, I'm still very proud of her, and all the hard work she put in ;-)

Now with that comes many many University related bills. I crunched the numbers, and with a pretty tight budget, I have figured out the minimal amount of funds needed for her to attend the University of her choice, which is less then an hour from home, thank God. Now this is where my request lies, no, not money, sillies... Just perspective. Although a few tips would not be frowned upon ;-)

But seriously, I know a lot of you have put your kids through school, and I'm just wondering what a typical year cost for different people. Living expenses also count, obviously, as having your child sleep on the street, starving, lonely and cold would not be very conducive with providing them with a quality education.

I'm asking because, being recently divorced, I'm having to defend the fact that University Fees are way more than the ONE bill the chosen establishment is charging us with.

So how much does a typical year of University cost?

And for My TGIF Post...

I'm a dork! I'm laughing way too hard at this... 

Especially @ 00:56 seconds... WTF?

~ NEVER FORGET ~

I was in the house, safe and sound as my then 4 year old daughter, played in the background. I watched in disbelief, the horrific events of that day unfold... Seemingly frozen in time...

I had a "Nice Cop" incident the other night...

I got pulled over for speeding... Ooops! Not a surprise considering it was 2am, and me and this cop where the only cars in town... Seriously, I had the run of the place ;-)  But I was a "Good Girl" and cooperated fully. After all, I was speeding. We got to talking, about our kids, and University, and the fact that I was just getting home and wanting to get to bed asap. Come to think of it, he didn't even ask me for my papers. This is a small town, but still, I've met a few power hungry cops who think they're above the law, so it was kinda nice to get pulled over by a "human" cop.  So NO Ticket!! And I had my hands on the wheel, the whole time ;-)

Feeling Bootish :D

It's a state of mind...

What a Ride!!

Just realized I missed my Blog Anniversary :(

Tree days ago...

Uh... I mean three, like September 6th.

Been hanging around the woodlot lately, can you tell... ;-)

Thinking... ;)

Gotta flip that "Empty Nest" thing to my advantage... :D

Good Morning :)

Good Night... eh

See Ya in the Morning... ;-)

Have a Relaxing Caturday

Needing some Plumbing Advice Plz

Here's the situation:

A few days ago, I was alone at my daughter's apartment, dropping off some things for her. Then all of a sudden I hear water pissing in the hall closet where the water heater sits on a shelf. Thank God the shut off valve was right there, then I flicked the heater breakers off and called the landlord. He sent his maintenance guy over to check it out. We had to leave it as is 'till he came back the next morning with the replacement part. The pressure release valve had failed.

Now here's my concern...

The month prior, we only flicked on the breakers to the water heater for a few hours at a time when we came to clean and prep the apartment as no one was living there yet. I never thought to shut off the water line too, as I've never really dealt with this particular situation. Now I want to prevent another "accident" as my daughter and her roommate will be leaving the apartment 'til next Tuesday... 

Is it better to leave everything on? The girls are concerned that it might decide to leak again and damage their stuff and the apartment with no one there to keep an eye on it. I am concerned about that too. Or should they shut off the breaker and the water line, and if they do.... is there a risk this might happen again when it's turned on.... or was it most likely because the water line was left open??

Common sense tells me turn both off.... Anyone out there with some valid experience on this matter?

I had the the S4mini before. I liked it, but it was getting

kinda hard to do all the random stuff I like ;-)

The basics are similar, so the learning curve ain't too bad.

Anyone out there using the Note 4?

Just Revamped My BlogRoll :)

I made a few changes to My Blog Roll Page.

Cleaned it up, added a few banners, got a few more in the works.

My other pages are way overdue for an overhaul too...

Working on it ;-)

Quick Trip to My Woodlot

 I took a drive out to My Woodlot yesterday. Hadn't been there in over a month.

I mostly wanted to make sure everything was ok out there, you never know, eh ;-)

And also, mom and my daughter came with, so it was nice to show them

what I had done so far.

I brought some water for the new plants, just in case, but to my delight, they were doing awesome with no help from anyone. I was a little worried since they're not settled in yet, and it hadn't rained for a few weeks. But they looked good, so I guess that means

they like their new home.

Then I saw this little guy. Looks like somebody just had a snack.

I'll be sure to get more pictures soon :-)

~ No Rest For The Wicked ~

I started this post last night, then set it aside 'till today.

Because simply put... I'm fucking pooped!!!

I just dove 16 hours straight getting back to my daughter and our igloo.

39 hours without sleep... I need another nap :P

Ain't That The Truth ;)

My Lucky is a pest on the matter.

Every time I go to give him a scratch, he'll swing his body around hoping to get a nice butt scratch. I just keep switching sides on him :P It's pretty funny watching him trying to get me to that "special" spot... They make life so much more interesting ;-)

Something To Think About...

I was searching the blogsphere and came across the following quote:

"What we remember is not what actually happened,
not history, but those hackneyed impressions they tried
to hammer into our memories by constant repetition.”

- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, GULAG Archipelago

~ Source ~

It got me thinking about how skewed the perception of history is these days.

How much of it is agenda driven. How much is forgotten or purposely set aside...
