I had a pool put in, but had to dig a big part of it out myself (the contractor would only level to 6 inches, and we had 11 inch difference) And now I'm trying to level an area adjacent for a patio. And we nearly dug to China putting in a fish pond. a few of the pics are here Alex will be 15 next month. He's finishing his first year of highschool, and celebrating by having a pool party for his friends from the anime club and track. (he did both because the girl he likes did them ) He's a typical moody teenager most of the time Are you still in college? How's things with your sister? Oh my god. that's so cool. so much work must be in it, but it looks amazing!!! I love the fish pond, so cute! What an amazing job on that yard! Glad to hear he's doing well, high school is fun. Yeah, typical moody teenager is good. Atypically moody teenager not so much. My sister is... difficult. She is a drama queen with crappy grades and an obsession for drinking and smoking at parties. Let's hope she'll grow out of it. No, I already finished college. Had my first (horrible) full time job, now I'm doing a free lance job with a college friend (until I get another full time job). It's kinda like a charity project, because it doesn't pay, but it looks good in the cv and I have the time and all the need for professional practice. Still haven't moved house (which I've been trying to do for such a damn long time) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has become a board favorite since. Well, obviously this forum wins the internet, so I would say he succeeded. Not telling what the code is was mean though!

It's been a crazy few weeks what with moving house, and now my car needs a new alternator so that's fun. I've got a million and one things to do to get everything at the house ready. A broken down car couldn't have come at a worse time. Yikes. Good luck with all the fixing. I hope you are enjoying your new residence. 9 hours ago, Baitac said: I'm here!! Love you all!

Is it a good project at least or just tiring? @Buckwheat it's not a charity kind of charity, it's just charity because we'll be working with a startup who can't pay for the service. We'll be doing some level of organization development, it's yet to be determined how deep we will go and what aspects of their functioning needs restructuring. Meetings will start next week.

I'm sure it's great to study journalism and you can do lots of cool things with a journalism degree. I would have liked to study journalism too. And as long as it's not "news" reporting or political, I really have no problem with journalism. And you are in London *envious glare* JK, have fun and try drinking not too terrible wines fun fact: you can buy a bottle of wine for under €1 here. Of course it's not going to be good, but you can get something decent tasting from €3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aren't spoilt dogs the best? Congratulations to your son, have a great time at the wedding! On on the topic of spoilt dogs, we took prince William to the vet last night, he's getting treatment for his joints, it will hopefully make him feel better. He was a good dog mostly, but did throw a little tantrum when the vet tried to take his temperature. And the vet remembered him from a few years ago when he had to be stitched up. He took the trip well overall. And he wasn't too mad at me for making him take it either. I did get a glare when I petted the neighbor puppy though, you know the "you put me in a hot bumpy car, let some stranger put a stick in my butt, give me an injection and now you have the nerve to pet some stranger dog, you bastard" kind of look. He got lots of strips of bacon for being a good dog though, so he forgave us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
