How to Fling an Otter Across Two States

Thank you Shining! Hugs back atcha!! (((((((Shining))))))))

So, my dad stopped by. I just need to vent for a moment.

Told him that D20 was visiting sorority sisters 2 hours away. He says, "Wow, you guys are putting a lot of confidence into your old Jeep."

My reply, "Well, I haven't had much choice." Seriously, I'm not going to bypass a job interview because I can't afford a new vehicle right now.

After talking with my dad, it never ceases to amaze me how far removed from reality he is. In his own little world. I asked if we could use his racecar trailer to move in order to save costs on moving...his response...it's an open trailer...so, I guess that's a "No."

Dad: "Wouldn't it be easier to hire a moving company?"

Me: "Yes, dad, it would. But, I've been given $2,500 for moving costs and I will need to use that to secure a rental...at the rate I'm going, the rental will take up the majority of the relocation allowance."

I just want to scream, "DUH!"

Dick.
