I heard about this person who put a cat door in for his mom. One day, he came to see her and found her asleep in bed with the cat on one side and a possum on the other.

I'm facing the fact the fact that DS has become passive-aggressive, at least toward me. Everythis is last minute. He wrote his essay, due tomorrow for the NM, last night. I went to church this morning leaving him in the shower. The essay was good but a tad too negative for my taste. However, I did not say so. Teenage parenting is sooooo hard.

DS just came in. I had given him a WalMart gas card to fill his almost empty tank. He says he only got 1.5 gallons because it kept stopping. I suggested he gone elsewhere or gone back but this won't last him a day. He stomped out to go somewhere else. This "weighs on your spirit" as a friend of mine would say.

Another friend emailed her Democrat sister to tell her she has scraped the "Bush county" bumper stick off her car. The sister replied, "I hear a scraping sound all across America."

:eek: That's why I've never put in a pet door. We've had enough skunk problems!!

Well, you know what they say: the kids are just trying to help you out with that impending empty nest syndrome.

I'd feel a lot better about that if they'd done it a year ago. People have been trying to warn Americans about George Bush since long before the 2000 election. "I told you so" just doesn't hold the satisfaction it would if Bush and his cronies hadn't done so much damage to the country and the world. I think he should be impeached and then tried as a war criminal.

peachie.. I read your first line Sooo wrong: as if the son put in the cat door for HIS Mother to get through! HeeeHeeee!
Sigh Peachness, all I can say is remember when we were hormone deranged teenagers...Kiwi
Hmmpf, whenever I saw a Bush Country or Bush Cheney bumpersticker back in 2000 and beyond I had to exhibit such restraint to not ram my trailblazer into their backend. I sent this link out upon that incompetent boobs re-election: and said .. I WASN'T one of them then or Now! What a Marroooon.

You may already "enjoy" this site... but here is a link to a fav that causes me as much pain as joy..

http://politicalhumor.about.com/

I got all Duded up, make up and all, and surprised Ken down at his new watering hole.... GADZOOKS the place was packed as I guess a sports bar would be.. all testosteronish.. with the yelling and fumble this and bad call that.. I was L O S T... had 2 beers and said Buh Bye ...Sigh, the only sports I'm remotely interested in is Hockey and only if they have that Idiot blue spot on the puck so I can follow the bloody thing! Went food shopping instead... still trying to get use to this crap where they ACTUALLY unload your basket , and BAG and then ask if you WANT HELP OUT TO YOUR CAR!!!. NOT that I mind it at all...but man, they look at me like I'm stealing milk from their babies when I bag myself. (remember where I'm from gals... they Look at you like WHAT IS YOUR Problem, CANT YOU BAG YOUR OWN CRAP!)( and p.s. what r u some sort of perv or gangsta wanting to jack my car? -- **** no I don't need you knowin what car I'm drivin'!!)

P.S. I didnot buy Candy corn or Valentines MMs... (bought dark chocolate/almond nuggets...and kisses..)

Ha, welcome to the rest of the United States, the trusting part! If I tried to bag my own groceries, they'd probably call all the other employees over to watch the weird lady. :lol: One time at a local store where I used to go a lot, I forgot to sign my check, and the guy who ran the place signed it for me. And the bank cashed it!

I still get a little pi**y when I see a Bush sticker. You'd like this picture I posted last November -- " one I call "Bush reaching across the aisle". I was so infuriated yesterday that I took a swipe at the photo of Bush on the front page of the paper and somehow managed to rip this exact piece of paper out. Doesn't it look like he's (somewhat incompetently) flipping the bird? " (from my post)

I have a collection of assinine pictures of Bush. I can't seem to bring myself to dump them. They include photos of him picking his nose while sitting next to Laura in a stadium, signing an American flag :rolleyes:, tripping over a Segway, looking through binoculars with the lens caps on, getting goosed in the crotch by a turkey, the list goes on and on.

Ah well, may the widespread Bushbashing begin. Better late than never.

Ou est la femme de peintre? Elle a disparu?

Sugar/Bagz,

What did Kiwi say?

The candy is gone. If I don't start on the Halloween oreos, that will be good.

Seriously, where is Painty. Did she move to Jersey?

Hi! Just checking in. Exhausted and angered by the NO mess. Should be sleeping, since I have to be to work in about 2 hours. Still fat. Still overworked, still in grad school.

Just wanted to announce I'm starting the Special K challenge today. I'm a sucker for a good ad campaign. They promise 5-6 pounds in two weeks. I'll let you know.

DEAR CHERRY---you will win this fight from sheer determination-----most cows in this herd have long since moved on to sugar and fat laced pastures-----------it's lovely here,come join us and have a candy corn---oh sarrrrrrrrry they're all gone,have an oreo????----------i bought two hallowe'en bags of mini chocolate bars----they are half gone---i like to eat two or three JUST BEFORE BED---HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT!!!----there is a big cruise ship heading into the harbour=---i better get over there!!

ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon
rounds. The various appliances of old age, particularly the canes, walkers and
wheelchairs, unfailingly intrigued her. One day I found her staring
at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself for the
inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
"The tooth fairy will never believe this!"

I'm trying out "tiny URL" just because it sounds cool. Here is a super long link that I converted to a tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/cf9dl Don't bother following it, it's just that kennel again. I just wanted to see if it worked.

I hope you have a ton of nice passengers to actually pay money for your nice wares today, Bagz.

Hi Cherry!

kiwi

Bagz!! that story about DD was priceless! How cute! ---- Sorry the shoplifters are hitting you. I think most of that type of crime is drug motivated. They'll steal anything just to feed their habit. We've actually had problems here w/ druggies stealing our storefront aluminum out of buildings before we can get the glass installed! They take it and sell it for scrap metal.

Cherry, can't wait to see if "the challenge" works. I've actually dropped a couple pounds since DS moved out with all my excuses for buying junk food. DH is borderline diabetic, so I feel guilty if I bring any sweets into the house. Now if I'd get off my fat arse and do some exercise, maybe I'd looose a little more.

Schatzi, I had that same picture of my head of someone's mother getting stuck in the cat door. Hee. Great minds... You're so brave to go hang out at a sports bar. As brave as my DH hanging out w/ the bunco babes this weekend. What man will sit around w/ a dozen middle aged bats and be sociable? I made a delish dessert called Butter Toffee Gooey Cake. Lucky for this sugarholic every last morsel was eaten by the end of the night.

Painty, we're getting worried about you... time to check in, dear.

Je suis ici. Grosse mais ici.
Baggz... so sorry about thefts. Are you allowed to booby trap your doors?

Please know that SouthFork is a stone's throw from my house (Well, if you are Drew Bledsoe!!) and that it is WAY toooooo touristy/plebian for any of the Bushbabies. I like Laura but do not understand what she sees in the Shrub.

My nurse friend told me not to go to the sports arena in Dallas to help evacuees because there were too many mystery viruses for me to deal with in my "suppressed immune" state. Besides, my bald head might scare them. I could wear the head covering below and get some sort of psycho meds.

DH and I have been indulging in comfort foods. Actually I made a decently healthy dinner tonight. Pork tenderloin with BBQ sauce, salad, carrots and biscuits. But the comfort foods... well, just think Chocolat.... :devil:

I'm off to my knitting and drawing. If you want to see photos of the knitting and dyeing cruise DD went on off the Maine Coast, let me know.

Hope everyone is svelt and employed soon.

hiya. Everyone who posts or lurks here and who likes games AT ALL for themselves or kids, go check out Castle Infinity ... It's back and getting bigger and better. It's a download and they ask for donations. I just love this game. You kill monsters with air freshener, get sent to your room (instead of dying) if you aren't careful, ride subs, collect limburger, and so on. No bad language is allowed or unsafe-for-kids behavior is allowed.

I have a headacheorama. Every morning. It's dehydration. Does anyone else wake up dry?

Kissie hug hug. Nice to Painty back even if it is just the back of her head!! Quite right for you not to go to the dome, Paintgirl.

Painty, so glad to see you! What is that Sea Anemone doing on your head?
Bagz: Cute cute cute! Should send that to the Lighter side in Readers Digest!
Wabby: That cake sounds delish!!!!! I made some "Carb Monitor " Chcolate brownies.. I dunno, left a metally aftertaste, but that didnt stop me from eating EVERY one.
Cherry: I've seen that challenge.. let us know how it goes!

And I can PROCLAIM it! YES! The Move is completely over! (and the crowd goes wild!) The house is all squared away and sparkly shiny! :flow2: The yard is groomed and clipped ! The garage is tidied up! One last to do is to clean my trailblazer in and out. Today looks like overcast and humid... I guess the very outter bands or prelude to Ophelia. Perhaps a Schlub day is on the docket..hmm maybe read or pull out my needlepoint!

Way to go Schatzi! Do you hire out? I am still mired in the middle of my kitchen swamping job. :rolleyes:

Is that Ophelia going to wash away my summer beach rental? :eek:

Peachie, if CI still an online game or download only? I have to say that was a lot of fun. And not quite as embarrassing as hanging around an arcade at our age...
