Reader-pleasing golf report

Due to demand from reader, here is more on parental golfing.

What's the Mom and Dad golf rule? You make the call.

Mom's ball was sitting on the fairway "in a nice spot." Dad hit Mom's ball "and sent it SIDEWAYS into the rough, about 10 feet from an alligator-infested pond."

Should Mom hit the ball from that spot? What would have happened if the ball had rolled into said alligator-infested pond? Does Mom get a free drop?

Mom: "I was so mad that I dropped my ball back onto the fairway."

This ideal community that I call home

Some problems with this whole communal living house include:

When in a fight with all of the roommates, dinner in the communal kitchen becomes tricky.

When feuding with all other roommates and you do not feel like doing your cleaning job, will they be even angrier?

When they all go away for the weekend together and you do not due to said fight, you finally have the house to yourself. But they took all the food.

And some common solutions!

Eat dinner at 10 pm. Instead of pasta, delicious cereal.

Maybe no one remembers which cleaning job is yours!

Don't worry; within a few hours, ex-girlfriend of one of the roommates will show up with a box of food to move in for the weekend. Unlike communal living house (central heating) her apartment has a coal furnace.
