OGS has decided to move to another city, about 3 hours from here. He thinks he will get a job (instantly, of course), move in with two strangers that know someone he knows and who can't easily pay their rent, and life will be grand.
I, on the other hand, think this is a disaster waiting to happen. Someone suggested that I save some money to take to bail him out when it all hits the fan!
What can we do? Pastor said some people just have to learn things the hard way. Guess this is one young man who has to do it that way. He hasn't been working for over a month -- actually, more like 2 months, I think. Didn't like working and didn't like having to pay "rent/food" while living at home. So, he just quit. No income, no having to pay -- right? Never keeps any job he gets so why does he think it will be different when he moves away? My Mom said he will end up sleeping on a park bench. I just hope that is the worse thing that happens. I don't want to think of him dead under a park bench.
I'd really like to convince him to join the army. It would provide so much of what he needs -- discipline, job training, camaraderie, a sense of belonging, discipline, getting to travel, a regular pay check, clothing allowance, and did I mention -- discipline? There are many army jobs he could apply for that might send him in the right direction.
I know about his plans because he called to ask me if he can come and work for me and get paid so he will have food money for two or three days, while he is getting his job. He said that "someone" doesn't think he has it all together and won't provide any money. Well, "someone" doesn't have money to provide him with and he doesn't have it all together. He is supposed to come over here to wash windows on Thursday.
Here we go again -- worrying about the kid. No matter how much he beats his chest and proclaims that he is an ADULT, he is really still just a kid!
This sounds like a disaster to me.
What do you think?

where are the pictures? you took them off
of course it's a disaster. we'll start praying again that he'll get it through his head that he needs to get responsible and do something about a career. the military would be a great option. how did dad like his motorcycle trip?
Sweetie is still gone -- will be home, Lord willing, Sunday evening.
It is raining here and up there, too. He said one couple arrived yesterday just soaked to the skin.
Makes for miserable riding.
The novelty of being alone has worn off -- he can come home now!
Looking forward to seeing you at the reunion!
