[QUOTE="Lil, post: 684181, member: 17309"] [USER=17542]@Childofmine[/USER] :hugs: I adore you...you always say just what I need to hear. Dinner was fine. We went to the microbrewery and we ordered their "beer sampler" which is 7, 7-oz beers. He tried all but the stout - refused to even sip it - and he didn't actually drink any of them. I know he's had beer before - and likely plenty of it - but it appears he has a cheap palate. Then again, Jabber and I weren't fans either - I drank one and Jabber two. We ordered sandwiches and he got a pizza to take "home" as well. We took him to the store - his roommate and a few other people he knows were going to be at the hotel and we went home. I did give him $20 in his card. He took the $20 - I doubt he even read the card - it's still in Jabber's back seat. I got a bit teary over that. I tried not to talk about the fact that tonight is his last night in the hotel or the fact that they have no jobs still, other than to tell him we'd pick up whatever they don't want to try to carry with them. Not a whole lot to tell. I'm sorry I've been such a whiney so and so about this whole thing. As I said to Jabber last night, this just isn't where I expected him to be at his 21st birthday. It hit me very hard for some reason. [/QUOTE]
