They Were Drunk
July 18 2017:
Best follow up comment to a session at the Chromosome 18 conference:
“The people who created the formulas and rules were drunk.”
Comment courtesy of Thomas Darnell after he and I had a discussion about John McGing’s SSI/SSDI/Medicaid/Medicare session. It’s enough to drive one to drinking … Cheers! …. xoxo
Preparing the Menu
**THROWBACK POST**
April 23, 2014
In preparing the menu for the restaurant Thomas says he will own, he has been doing research. He told me that he’d be serving mac n cheese at his restaurant as it’s 1 of the top 50 most popular foods. I asked how he knew that. He’s been searching online for the the most popular foods and found a website that lists the top 50! HA! xoxo

Have You Hugged and Kissed a Pile of Dirt
**THROWBACK POST**
April 21 2013:
Thomas came inside early this evening with dirt all over the front of his shirt. He said “I just hugged and kissed a pile of dirt. I need to rinse my mouth off now.”
Says he just loves being outside soooo much! Then he asked if what he did was okay. I told him absolutely and that I thought that it was great that he did that! Big dirt filled hug y’all!
Smile Because You Are Alive

“Have you noticed that sometimes I smile just because I’m alive?” -Thomas …. Note to self: You are alive. Rise to the occasion!
Learn By Trial and Error
June 17 2017:
I’m so grateful the way he causes me to stop and truly think about something …. “When did someone decide that we needed to learn by being taught instead of learning by trial and error?” –Thomas ….. I feel this is such a great question. Just WOW!
Rocks in the Sock Drawer

“Everyone stores rocks in their sock drawer, right?” – Thomas
Highest Level of Happy and Follow Your Dreams
June 7 2017:
“I’m so happy! What’s the highest level of Happy that exists?” -Thomas …..
Thomas was invited to participate in a Sumo Bot Challenge today. He doesn’t have the LEGO robot kit, yet the parent team leader and organizer made him a basic one to modify and use for the Challenge.
When it was time to leave she offered to let him borrow it until they need it again in July. His gratitude and joy was oozing from every pore. He could not stop saying how amazing this is as he has wanted one for years. So incredibly grateful to this wonderful mom!! xoxo

Found in the kitchen …. Seriously. I have no idea how many times Thomas has read this dictionary. He will be the grammar editor for all future books we write!
Fact books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, almanacs, pilot manuals, coding books, and the manual for our car! He’s read them over and over.
And this afternoon he said, “It’s weird how we idolize those who pursue their dreams.” I asked him why. He says it should just be the normal course that everyone takes. I have never heard it presented in this way …. and I agree. It should be the norm. xoxo
