"If they did they'd have that cell phone up their bu##."

That was his disrespectful, 13yo reply.


<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I have tried to raise him to know and do better than that. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Tell him I want to know which army is going to help him put it there...because he's going to need one if he tries! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

t&l

And, he'd need more than the FRENCH Army, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Really, sometimes I think he will be the death of me.

I was going to ask if anything was sillier than a 13-year old, but now that I think about it, I think 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and possibly 19, 20, and 21 could give 13 a good stiff run for its money! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Hola, Lady Clueless. Where you bean? Peru, I guess. (Lima, to be precise) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

t&l

tl so true!!! lol

Bad attitudes, scowling, talking back, oh the joys of parenting .... and I get to do it ALL over again ... how lucky is that!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I loved ignoring the drama they made of it though ... it used to drive them crazy when I didn't react to the bad temper or smart comments ... DD says it was SO frustrating when she trying so hard to be a little cow <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

though it was hard at times I have to admit..especially when they did something stupid enough to get them hurt if things had gone the wrong way. I never have cut the apron strings ...ok I admit it!! there happy? lol I've just got very long extension cords <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

speaking of which , no word from the wastes of that place over there ... the news shows it very busy in the office unfortunately so I'm sad to say hes probably way to busy for chit chat. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Be nice if no one showed up for appointments though
<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Yo soy bean.

AW, sounds like it's time for another little ladies plotting session. Seems like nothing brings that fella out of the woodwork faster!

So who's going to break his leg first? Me me me!

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And Neaksis, is your phone working? It was busy all evening after you left, and now it just rings and rings.

I will break his trigger finger.

I can't believe Neak Sis hasn't told us about her trip.
What's up with that?

Hope everyone is well, and happy. Or happy if you are not well. Or well, if you aren't happy.

If you are well, but not happy, repent.

SS

Big thunderstorm overhead.

Goodnight!

I love storms. Its just magical to sit & watch the lightening strike and the great streams of dark cloud come pouring in especially when we had the farm.
I sat on the verandha when the kids were asleep or huddled inside watching the idiot box while I just enjoyed Gods own show.

From the hill you could see it come in over the ocean and see the flash of light within the clouds and the thunder could shake the house. set the dogs howling, and the kids came arunning lol. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We've had 3 days like that now but it doesn't feel the same in the city. Its just rain. Which we need desperately by the way.
we had about an inch & a bit of rain last 2 days and there is a 50:50 chance for above average seasonal rainfall. Probably two late for the farmers. I'd love to go down to Granddads farm and have good poke around in the paddocks ... see it must be true ... you can take the girl out of the country but you can't take the country out of the girl!! lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Neak and kids have all gone on a long-distance haul with AJ to Washington state. They'll be back in a couple of days, and what does anyone want to bet that by the time Neak gets back that truck cab will seem awfully closed in and confining, what with all those kids! (By then the 3 of them will seem like 300! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />)

t&l

oh yes

that brings back memories of those long long looooonnnnng trips we took with Mum & Dad to Pops farm, the 3000 miles to the Eastern States, and misc holidays ...just think parents plus 1 boy and 3 girls in one car .... I spy with my little eye something beginning with A ...????

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just have to show you this pic of Mikey! I had to get a friend to come over with a camera as theres something wrong with mums ... dad tried to use it <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> .... so now it doesn't work.

Anyway I wanted to send a nice pic to Aussie so I dressed him up the cheerful chubby little laughing boy lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
Mikey - pic for his Dad

What an adorable little boy, AW! You only thought he was big when he was born!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

t&l

So, I think I missed something. Do we know what the WhiteGloveLady ever decided?

Cinderella dear, now I think I missed something... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Who is the WhiteGloveLady and why do we care what she thinks?

Believer, I still have your email address from last year when Dillon died. I'd like to talk to you about October. Do you mind if I email you directly?

cc46 is in the continental US. She SAYS she's wearing the shirt I got her. We should make her take a picture of her torso to prove it, since I'm thinking she still wants her head to be incognito.

Lady C--how's the business going? I always wanted my own business, but was always too busy working to develop one successfully. Besides, there IS something to be said for a steady paycheck. (It comes day after tomorrow!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)

SS, I'm signed up for my class and ready to make plane reservations. Is your wife still up for an invasion?

My loan money came today, but the doofus delivery guy didn't deliver it because "the house looked too rural." It's in a housing development, for Pete's sake, even if it's in a rural area. They say they'll re-deliver tomorrow. First thing I'm doing is paying a retainer to the attorney who will go after the people who caused all this mess, to try and recoup the many 1000's of dollars their screwup has cost me. I work with his wife, and he's my good friend, too, so I know he'll give me his best shot. Still, I'm really sick of the whole thing, and can't wait for it to be over.

Well, I got a surprise night off tonight...once I found out all that money had arrived, and they offered me a cancel night, I decided to take it and a vacation day instead of going into work. I'm off to bed and it's not even 10PM. How odd is THAT? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Yes, AD, Neak's mother occasionally takes a day off! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Subject: The IRS Audit

The IRS decided to audit Ralph, and summoned him to
the local IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised
when Ralph showed up with his attorney.

The auditor began with, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant
lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by
saying that you win all of your money by gambling. I'm not
sure the IRS finds that believable."

"I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it," replied Ralph.
"How about a little demonstration?"

The auditor thought for a moment then said, "Okay. Go ahead."

Ralph said, "I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye."

The auditor thought a moment and replied, "No way! It's a bet."

So Ralph removed his glass eye and bit it.

The auditor's jaw dropped.

Next, Ralph said, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye."

The auditor could see it was obvious Ralph wasn't blind, so he took the bet. Whereupon, Ralph removed his dentures and "bit" his good eye.

The stunned auditor realized he had just wagered and lost three grand with Ralph's attorney as a witness, and he began to get a little nervous.

"Want to go for double or nothing?" Ralph asked. "I'll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between."

The auditor, twice burned, was really cautious now, but he looked carefully at the situation and decided that there was no way this guy could manage a stunt like that, so he agreed to the wager.

Ralph stood beside the desk and unzipped his pants, but although he strained mightily, he just couldn't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side of the desk, which meant he pretty much urinated all over the IRS official's desk. The auditor leaped with joy, realizing that he had just turned a major loss into a huge win. Meanwhile, Ralph's attorney moaned and put his head between his hands.

"Are you okay?" the auditor asked.

"Not really," answered the attorney. "This morning, when Ralph told me he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over an IRS official's desk and that you'd be real happy about it."

LOL, t&l, you've just set a record for foot in mouth.

We care about the WGL because she's the one who decides if Kimmy and Wookie get custody of the babies and two of my very favourite posters (married to each other and they don't post (much) anymore) work for the IRS.
