I'm a G-Pop to 3 and my oldest just started college so kids aren't in her plans. She's pretty levelheaded and is majoring Biochemistry and Bio Physics so she's be pretty busy trying to become a doctor. My second one is 12 and my 3rd one is 4 months.
Wowser! You have a college grad son? I 'd never be able to guess that by your looks. You look like about 35 years of age!
Congrats and I too am very proud of my son and his Masters Degree going for Phd Degree! I just got to thinking about that if he does. That will make a Phd. son, granddaughter and son-in-law.
When I was a young man I always had the prettiest girl. Not because I'm this hot looking stud, but because a woman can give you a subtle "invitation" and you have to go for it. My motto is: "You gotta go with what you got".
If she says "no" then you gotta understand nothing was lost. The young lady may turn out to be a good friend.
Waiters, usually, in America do not "earn" minimum wage. The reason for that is because restaurant owners know their waiters are getting tips so it's "legal" to pay them less than minimum wages. Many states have approved laws for that. So you should really tip them.
Work hard and don't stress about the job when you leave for the day. It will be waiting for you when you get back the next day. AND DO make time for yourself.
God knew when He created us what we would be like.
This is an excellent example of God's unconditional love if you fail. Then when you realize God is on your side then you repent and live the life that His son Jesus Christ lived.
This is the signal to repent and mean what you say.
