INDEED!!! The solution to your birthdays Mel is NOT more lying, but TRUTH...Is your signature line a representation of "your truth"? Seriously, though I think you really ought to learn to live "authentically"!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We are trying to fly back from my mother's and they cancelled all the flights in Dallas [our connection to Houston] this afternoon because of the RAIN. The rain seems to have moved on now, so they are playing catch up. This place is a MAD HOUSE of wall to wall chilluns!

It stinks when planes get delayed - because of the way routes are set up - a delay or cancellation on the other side of the country can have a serious ripple effect everywhere else <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hope you get where you're going soon, Melody. Stinky way to spend a b'day - stuck with crazy young'uns at an airport..

Be glad you aren't stuck there with one of my client's kids. I was within a hair's breadth of committing child abuse (or seriously throttling the parent) yesterday.

One of them even climbed inside the cabinet of a new aquarium I had on display - almost as bad as a kid climbing into a china cabinet in a furniture store! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

After they left, XH shook his head - he said he remembers me telling him once, a long time ago, that those two were brats - but he dismissed what I'd said because I don't have much patience with unruly kids. After all that I said, "Am I validated?" and he said, "OMG - and then some!"

Those two in an airport would be borderline terrorists. They are most certainly terrors!

Hard to be mad at them stuck in an airport - tired, hungry, BORED... but still, parents have to respect others' quiet enjoyment - or quiet patience, or quiet frustration...

Never underestimate the power of a good STINK-EYE!

I think that this may qualify as some type of grandmotherly dereliction of duty at your age Mel! Somebody call Dallas CPS!!! Mel you should invite that chile to cuddle up in your lap where you will read him a nice story and feed him milk and cookies...Do we need to send you to Grandma University?

She needs some granny glasses too... or she's dyslexic <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

NOT GinJa (that sounds too much like an illicit substance or some kind of herb you take when you're... *cough* OLD.)

I did vote in your polls, Pep, does the winner need to be present!? *g*

Happy B-day Mel. I hope you have a big ole Texas Hurah to bring in another candle on your b-day cake. I have to say with your birthday being so close to independence day no wonder you had a problem with independent behavior. It is your birth rite. LOL.<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I hope you have a good one.
