It's boring, but annoying.

Truancy compulsory education violation for our sick kids. They had no case and realized it when I started quoting 53a-11-101 and definitions from 76-102 that the prosecution wasn't well read in.

They were all nice and polite, including the assistant principle and social worker, but I boxed them into the typical unsaid "we don't want to do our job and take you to fair court as it's more work and taxpayer justice system dollars", plus i'd have to pay for a lawyer so that's taken into consideration by the judge.

My well educated child has been instructed to attend school with any ailment and puke on who or whatever he has to for the rest of the year.

I have a 13-year-old nephew who has missed 7th and most of 8th grade due to illnesses that doctors cannot figure out. I hope it doesn't ever come to this for my sister. The trauma of dealing with the health issues has already taken a huge toll on their family. Good luck and best wishes to your sick ones and your entire family.
 
I have disabled parking plates, and it seems that even when the handicapped spots are full, I always get a spot very close to them. The parking gods love me. I'm grateful.

But honestly, why does the new Hale Centre Theatre parking terrace in Sandy UT have only 5 handicapped spots? Their audiences skew older, and they should have prepared accordingly.

Illness is an excusable absence. The issue we had was 1) The school failing to mark him excused when we did, 2a) they didn't note that he was excused for a dental visit and then checked in late, 2b) when he is sick we let him sleep in and if we decide he is well enough to attend we check him in late, but they don't count that as excused.

After that they have to prove you acted intentionally or recklessly when viewed from the actors perspective. Good luck proving that in most circumstances on what little knowledge they have going to court.
 
Living in an LDS community. Today, 4 y.o. ISIS figured out how to disconnect our makeshift garage door opener blocker and snuck out in only his pajama bottoms. No shirt or shoes. Neighborhood came together and found him 45 minutes later at the park.

And my co-workers give me crap for living in LDS dominated Utah County. This is the first time it's happened with my kid, but the last one had probably 200 people looking and people on their roofs with binoculars. I bet we had at least 200 looking today. My wife was even notified while looking for him that there is a lost kid.

My brother and I always try and see how many cars are parked in handicapped parking spots that don't have the plates or the dangly thing from the rear view mirror. There are so many inconsiderate and rude clowns out there. At one point, we wanted to make an IG account to publicly shame people who park in these spots and take pics of their cars and wait for them to return to their car and take a picture of them then give them a card with the IG account name. One of my better ideas I've had, if you ask me.

I keep trying to do this. I go on long walks and that's about it. Been hurting too much for so long and my body and mentality has changed which makes it incredibly hard to become gym guy again.

Gonna do it soon though. Good for you starting back up.

I took the opportunity to sleep out under the stars in the mountains over the weekend. I should do that more.

When I was a scout leader, one of the other scout masters did the same thing. He woke up in the middle of the night with a skunk curled up beside him. Luckily, the skunk wandered off as it got light. No harm, no foul.
