Painty, you are breathtaking. I am now summarizing my problems to present to you.

Cowie. Thanks. Since there were no problems attached to your "summary" I'll cheerfully assume you have none! I hope it's true.

Guess what my darling daughter did last night? Backed my Explorer into a telephone pole !! Just broke the taillight cover and put a light scrape on the fender, no big deal. She comes in and says to me (DH was in the other room and she pulled me out of the kitchen--I don't think she wanted to tell him first) "there's something I have to show you. I'll pay for it!" Why do I find this funny?

What is it about men that they want to blame everything on somebody? DH's first reaction was to tell her she must take after me. Umm, just who was it that rolled my SUV 2 years ago? Gosh, hmm, I seem to remember getting a call at home..."I'm in a ditch" Guess it wasn't me...

I gave him **** last night. Not specifically for that business, but just for being such a jerk lately. I feel a little guilty about it today. Not too guilty. I'll just blame it on my headache

Oh, feel free to analyze.

You are a sick puppy

i totally understand where you are coming from kiwonk-----my camry has many bumps on it now because of THEM----but i don't really mind as long as they are all okay---it's not really "funny" but it's part of the scheme of things----as far as dh goes------he likely deserved some sort of dressing down at some point,so why not last night!!----i think we northerners are to be excused for the CABIN FEVER we must be approaching if not surpassing------------oh,gutta go see if Marissa is turning gay---brb

who is Marissa? I want to hear about her.

watch the OC.

and OC is what? A Canadian pervo channel?

HAHAHAHAH----------------NO---IT'S AN AMERICAN {OH SO CALIFORNIAN} TEENAGE PERVO SHOW------ORANGE COUNTY TO BE EXACT------------- a guilty pleasure brought on by teenager influence-----------------i am trying to register Beckwith and Co. as a business name----they are doing a search for only 55 dollars---what a bargain. the likelihood of that name being in use is NADA------------------i am still a few weeks away from "owning" the lease to the shop------seems to take forever.

Do you really think people "turn" gay?
Analyze.

My son was backing up so close to a dumpster once that he slipped of the driver's side rear view mirror. (Also Camry.. wonder if they are ill-fated... ) He paid for it... and I don't believe he's hit anything since.

Life is hilarious. Might as well laugh. Or cry. At least those make me feel better. Yelling doesn't.

Ice cream does. or chocolate. Maybe I need to try "embracing my suffering"... if i did it enough perhaps I wouldn't be so hard to embrace myself...

Nobody "turns" gay. You are or you aren't. My sweet nephew is gay - always was, always will be.

Poor Kiwi's Explorer. I've had a few experiences w/ kid's fender benders. Why are they always afraid to tell their dad? He usually handles it better than I do. Don't feel bad about giving the DH grief. It's our job sometimes.

Painty, I love having a therapist in the herd. And I know what you say is true, but it's really hard when my brother lives right next door. He has not apologized to neighbor Fred. He's escalated it further. They are waging an all out war, and I think my brother is going to end up on the losing end of things. Fred has the law and a real estate attorney on his side. Not to mention the money to pay for an attorney. I'm just trying to lay low and stay out of the drama.

oh my goodness---hope i haven't started something!!!----the OC is a teenager-based "soap opera"-----one of the girls is bi-sexual and is flirting with one of the girls who has so far been heterosexual---as far as i can see,they are "experimenting"----LET ME NOT BE CONSIDERED SOMEONE WHO IS AGAINST GAYNESS~!!!!!!!---- two of my best guy friends and a few girlfriends are gay AND let me tell you my own government is passing a bill for gay marriage in Canada which i totally support. I think i got in trouble for talking about Jehovah's witnesses didn't i????? am i in trouble for making fun of George Bush????AM I IN TROUBLE???????????????????????????????????

Yeah, Bagz, you're in trouble. We're reporting you to the Provincial cops for speaking to Americans. And stop sending us those mad cows!
