My dog dumped and scattered her food all over the living room floor. She hates eating out of a bowl. Now she is meandering around eating random pieces. I think that if I let her go long enough, I may not have to sweep.0

Also, I broke 260 this morning! 259.4!
Or are we not allowed to talk weight loss here?2 -
It's so sad that the bag of blood that gets taken from me every 6 weeks or so goes straight in the garbage.0

My dog does the same. Takes his food out of his dish then eats it somewhere else.0 -

Well done @littlemissbgiff
And @J_Surita3 for getting the ball rolling
I confess I am enjoying the entertainment. Work is slow and boring today.0 -
Ughhh...beating myself up a bit fro losing my cool with my youngest son last night. Told him he was useless. Said his reputation in the house was being lazy, not listening, and doing everything he finally does do half-assed. That is NOT who I am as a father, mentor, and leader, so I am very disappointed in myself. Spent all last night and this morning trying to find a way to apologize and turn this into a positive learning experience for both of us.4

Best way I've found to apologize is to use one of the hardest two words to get out sometimes... "I'm sorry"
Don't beat yourself up too much because I'm sure he'll sense that too and good luck with turning it around to be a learning experience!2 -

Thanks all. Thing is, I know his heart. I know how much of what I say and my affection ( or rejection) effects him. I KNOW how not to react like I did. I have had years to know this, but I let my frustration get the better of me. And yes, it isn't the end of the world, but I firmly believe if I am to expect better from my sons, I have to be better for my sons. That will definitely be in our conversation. And yes, it will start with I am sorry and being an example of taking responsibility for my actions and words.
Man...there was a time it was much easier...miss these days.
