Automatic Hijack Thread

Thanks Chip for starting all the Chuck Norris (ahem) jokes! :shake:

Nurseypoo! Many Congrats to you and your son! :thumb: It is a wonderful feeling to have it over - may the parties begin! My daughter graduated 10 days ago and her party - last Saturday finally ended on Wednesay- I think! She is still making the rounds of classmates' parties.

He did party #2 last night. Now he studies for his FAA orals (passed his written yesterday).

Chip, you are hilarious! My youngest boy and his friends LOOOOOOVE Chuck Norris and have told me some of the jokes you've listed. He's a butt-kicker!

I love this thread!
 
Hey Chip, in my son's old room is a huge corkboard covering an entire wall with photos of ships he's been on, sea charts of where he's sailed, and thumb tacked in one corner..... a copy of the Chuck Norris stuff you'd just posted. His is longer though. Glad you left some of them out. Heh. They're kinda... well.... you know..... :wink: Funny stuff.

Nursey. Sounds like he's winding down. Its such a short time till everyone goes. Even Chip will be leaving us soon. Hope everyone enjoys the heck out of every minute left!
 
Chip - I got a kick (pun intended) out of the Chuck Norris jokes! :thumb:

My son received his plane ticket and hotel information in the mail today. Time is getting short, only two more weeks until he leaves. :eek:
 
I don't know. It seems to have worked it's way into the vernacular. FAA standard terminology, wind report is required with landing clearance: "Winds are calm, cleared to land". I have heard it 100s of times.

I agree that it is incorrect though.
 
"Winds are calm..." in FAA vernacular is information needed, with "calm" substituting for windspeed, just like the tower's short final admonition: "Winds are 310 at 5mph..."

The headline writer's use of "calm winds" is an attempt to explain why the winds "helped"-- could have said "Winds help firefighters" just as well.
 
A wind, by definition, cannot be calm. Once it becomes calm, it ceases to exist.

In re the article, the writer meant to say that the lack of wind helped the firefighters.
 
:tomcat: :jump1: :beer1: :w00t: :yikes: Speaking of winds, boy became a private pilot yesterday (three days before we leave). WooHooooo!!

Stay out of the friendly skies for a while, okay?

Love,

NP
 
Um, that's negative, Ghost rider. That pattern hasn't even opened up.

He doesn't have much to pack. I do. Thus, I'm doing that, tonight.
 
so you are leaving a few days early - what are you gonna do before I-day?
 
Yeah, we're heading out Sunday.

First, help get used to the three hour time change.
Two, visit friends at Pax River.
Three, have my son show me around the yard, again. I may have missed something.
Four, hit the Mid-Store and grab (see greedily with a maddening look of lust in her eye) all scrapbooking materials I can stuff in my suitcase.
Five, and most importantly, cherish the time I have with my son.

I started boo-hooing during surgery today (heard a song that reminded me of him). Oh, boy. Can't wait till Wednesday.
 
My only advice is to have their favorite drink ready for them when they come back to meet you on Stribling Walk after checking in.

My kid asked me to have him something to drink.

I spent the day visiting, lunching, and O'Clubbing with classmates and old friends. Suddenly it was time to meet the new mids.

When he, obviously totally dehydrated, asked for his drink, I pointed out a water fountain. To this day, 13 years later, when the "Bad Parent" list comes out, this retains top billing.
 
Awwwwwwww Nurseypoo, you will be fine. Sending the oldest off can be traumatic. When my oldest went to college - a whole 2 hours away (by the way she could call but didn't! ahhhhhh!) we had a kid confilict problem - my MMI girl was "graduating" from a State Police Camp that morning. My oldest was always daddy's girl and her dad chose not to go move her in. I don't think he could have handled moving his baby girl off to colllege. He went to the Camp graduation. Don't forget - younger siblings are affected as well- my then 11 year old cried for an hour in the car after she moved big sister in.
Having the oldest go away changes the family dynamics - everyone is convinced but afraid to say that they fear the family unit is gone forever. Of course it isn't but it is different.
So be strong - for your son, younger sibling(s) and the other parent. Cry not tears of sadness but pride. Be proud of yourself for raising and outstanding young adult and your child for growing up and facing the world.

Weather in Annapolis: looks to be hot and steamy. If the temps are in the high 80's - as expected the humidity will make it feel in the 90's - keep your new plebe hydrated in the days before I-Day. Oh and remind him not to lock his knees! Makes 'em keel right over! Safe Travels!
 
In regard to the family dynamics, you are so right. I am really worried about the youngest and what he's going to do since he doesn't have "big brother" there anymore to watch his back, etc. His soccer coach said it best. Since the boy is moving on, the sun will shine on the youngest one and we'll see what a toughy he is. Mom retains the right to be a wimp!:shake:

Daddy went in this morning before he had to leave and told the boy he was proud of him, loved him, and would see him at PPW. I'm glad I wasn't in the room. Big Boo hoos!:sadwavey:

I was the boy's first passenger in the airplane, today. I am so happy he took me. Of course, I took pictures! I am the ultimate scrapbook freak. HELLO! Plus, I DIDN'T BARF!! Big Whoo hoos to me! :muscles2:

I had the proud tears at graduation. I am proud of him still. He spent ALL day with me today and ran me wherever I needed/wanted to go just to spend time with me. Wow. :thumb:

You guys are great! I really appreciate your support. I'll let you know how it goes! IF they can get me out of the scrapbooking section of the mid-store. :biglaugh:
 
Good luck, NP!! I hope you and "the boy" have an easy, safe trip to Annapolis!
