It’s amazing how family can really be the ones who cut us to the core.
We had a makeshift family get together yesterday. As always, it was a nightmare from a planning prospective.
I made a cameo.
As always, it turned into my mother complaining that, no matter how many health foods she tries, “none of them work”. Then she made a remark to me “Have you gained a few pounds? You used to be so skinny.” It made me so angry. Even when I take a step back and think that this is a very lonely and negative person who feels bad about herself and her life, it still upset me.
Thankfully, the homily at mass this morning was all about body image and how we see ourselves and each other. It’s what I needed to hear.
Mothers being mothers.It’s amazing how family can really be the ones who cut us to the core.

Something tells me that NU "star" is about to get a rude awakening...
Bunch of idiots rode 4 wheelers all through Nashville over the weekend, blocking traffic, doing donuts in intersections...oh, and dragging a cop down the street and driving off. What is wrong with people?

I had to get a new SS card back when I was getting out of the Navy. I think it was because I couldn't find my original one. Found out that when my handwritten application was processed, the 9 in my birthday was "open", and made the 29 look like a 24, so SS administration had my birthday as March 24th, not March 29th. Was a big pain to get it corrected. At least the SSN was right the whole time, so I get credit for all my contributions.I had to order a new SS card. I don’t think I’ve had one in about 30 years.
If you go early, hit the Friendly Toast for breakfast. Probably too fancy for a passport trip, but Massimo's is excellent too. Or drive down Route 1 just past Water Country for Vida Cantina. All excellent choices.I mean, I enjoy me some Portsmouth...
I got one from a police Association too. Asked for John. When I told him he had a wrong number, that there was no John there, he said, "then I can help, I'm John," and started into his spiel. I just hung up on him,.I just got one myself. Only it was a live guy from some fugazy "police association". He heard silence after he asked "Howya doin' today?" Hope it wasn't legit
I took a picture...Yes!!!!
@Gee Wally to piggy back off of the post above...
Definitely Uber/Lyft. There's a million of them around, and you can get from one end of the city to the other for $10-15 max.
I'll also second Old Town area. A lot history in such a small area, plenty of resturants and some shops around.
Also, definitely check out Gaslamp District. There's plenty of places to eat in Gaslamp. I'd recommend SearSucker. Just great food, and a nice atmosphere. Directly across the street is a place called Barley Mash, which is nice for a quick beer and bite, but with food a bit more upscale than regular bar food.
Depending on when you're planning on heading out there, if you're into baseball, I'd recommend checking out Petco regardless of who the Padres are playing. It's an awesome park.
I know you mentioned your wife wanting to see the Zoo, definitely do it. It's huge, and you easily could spend the whole day there. Close by is Balboa Park, which has some museums, the rose gardens on the far end, food trucks on Fridays in the spring/summer. My wife has a friend that works at the open air bar there as well. Say hi for us
USS Midway is absolutely worth seeing as well. It's similar to all the other floating museums like the Intrepid in NYC, but given the history of that ship, there's something more to it personally. They have guest speakers from time to time, and the last time we were there, they had a WWII vet speaking which was great.
If you rent a car at all, it's worth just taking a quick ride to La Jolla and riding around. There are some awesome houses, and some amazing views, plus plenty of small one off shops. Only worth doing if you have your own car IMO.
Definitely take a ride to Coronado. Also some amazing views, and it's a great beach and area in general. Plus there's the history with the Coronado Hotel. You can also Uber/Lyft here and not feel like you're stuck there.
I'm sure my wife has other suggestions as she lived there for 3 years, but off the top of my head, this is what I came up with.
EDIT: One thing I forgot. Definitely get out on a pier and see the sunset over the Pacific, especially if you've never seen it before. It's awesome.
One of my big bucket list items is to restore a circa 1970 muscle car. The Chevelle is right up there near the top of the list.It's a beaut.
Mid 60s to late 70's had some just amazing cars.
1970 Chevelle SS is still my all-time favorite car.
My neighbor has not one, but two 71 barracuda hemi's. So jealous.69 Vette,70 Roadrunner,70 Chevelle.
The officer will be fine, he was treated and released. These idiots were everywhere, did hit and runs in a couple places. There were even guys with pickup trucks that helped them evade police.Hope the officer is going to be ok!
I've gotten caught between jerks like this before and its terrifying as they weave in and out of traffic screaming at drivers and flipping people off. Almost all of them cover their entire face with some sort of mask so all you see are their crazy eyes.
