Missus and I were exiting a shopping mall yesterday when we heard a woman's voice some distance behind us yelling "excuse me". We didn't pay any attention but then she yelled "excuse me" again and there was a note of urgency in her voice. We turned around to see a fully-laden supermarket trolley bearing down on us. I ripped off my shirt to expose my superman vest and managed to grab the thing before it hit us. Now why the silly cow couldn't have yelled something more relevant like: "look out!" or "get out of the way" is beyond me! If the damn thing had hit one of us in the spine or knocked one of us over it might have done some damage.
I'm a longtime goat, mostly lurker. I'm not the typical demographic - a woman, widow, two kids hitting the teen years, very traditional but have to work due to circumstances. My son is hitting 12 - he's a big kid, already taller than me and built like a linebacker. Not great at sports but likes weightlifting. Some proficiency at engineering, but a huge lack of discipline. He has difficulty making friends but is generally a kind and sensible person. But he is lazy and I worry how he'll fair having grown up without a dad at home; he also gets disrespectful with me and its difficult without "backup". I don't date and he has one grandfather, who is a useless boomer lib who offers no credible advice. How do I get him through this period of his life and turn him into a decent productive member of society. Boot camp? Is there a reputable boy scout like club? I also want to dodge Pedos. Note, we live in a heavily military area and I work for a government contractor in a large military community area, so there are lots of military based "stuff" available. We go to Church as well. I just want to make sure I'm doing it right, and certainly prepared to invest the time effort in the right track.
If you're gonna talk trash about Alex, you gotta man up and tell us (((Who))) (((YOU))) listen to or watch. Not doing that makes you a Bitch and probably a paid Shill.
