Re: Say anything... again!
Crazy Christmas Kids!
DH always says I don't know and if I press for an answer he says, "I never thought about it." It makes me crazy!!! I'm asking you to think about it now!
Yay! :-)
My latest conversation with my MIL:
Her: I found that BB gun to give to DH
Me: We don't need a BB gun. Give it to someone else. He will just shoot my darling squirrels in the backyard.
Her: YOU DON'T EAT THEM?? They are so good.
Me: Nope. Sure don't.
Her: I eat them. I eat squirrels, birds, rabbits, snakes, frog legs, deer steaks, nutria...it's good meat.
Me: Yeah, no, I don't eat any of that. We won't be needing that BB gun because I am not letting Kerry eat my squirrels.
I gotcha on not eating them, but darling??? Don't go overboard. They are pesky rodents plain and simple. I won't shoot them, but I won't ever call them darling
Was your MIL in The Waterboy? I'm pretty sure I heard those lines in that movie. Bwahhh
I don't have a garden, so to me they are just cute. Now, if I try to grow some stuff next year, I will fully retract that statement (but I will still own up to it). They do annoy me when they eat every last fig on our fig tree before they are fully ripe and when they just hang out making my dogs bark.
Also, I saw a pic of MIL at a club on FB. ::dies::
I saw them with my very two own eyes. It was.... something...
Are you not going to share that with us?
Crazy Christmas Kids!
I kind of want to stay married. DH would kill me dead.
We will shelter you behind the Mazda; come on....
Definitely. Don't be selfish and withhold from us :-P
Crazy Christmas Kids!
So... like a club club?
Come on Harmony, let Kerry have the BB gun, Mike has one they can go squirrel huntin' together! LOL Then they can make you a nice squirrel-skin-cap.
Nevermind, they'd probably just shoot at each other anyway.
Ew Harmony. Ew.
We do eat dear steak. That is a totally different kind of meat than rodents - even big ones like nutria. Ew.

Almond - I saw you tagged by some HS friends. You were rockin' a hot gold dress mamasita! Looking gooood.
I agree about the weird groups. And my HS was hood THEN.
A friend posted something like "You know you went to Ike when..." and my replies were:
- You realized the true value of your health when exiting health class to be tackled into the lockers by a friend because you walked out the door right between two idiots pointing guns at each other.
- Someone attempted to steal your car from the student parking lot... while you were sitting on the hood of the car with your keys in your hand.
- The principal (who prior posters called a douche) was your hero when he saved you from being pushed around violently because you walked down "broadway" the day whites weren't supposed to... but you never got the memo.
- Your morning entry into the school included a routine backpack search and stroll through the metal detectors.
Some people replied, "dang it wasn't THAT hood when I was there," and I shared that it must have been my special luck because I have a younger friend who sent from 96-00 who said it wasn't that hood when she was there either.

this is as frustrating as the "i'm freezing", "oh i feel goood". *RAWR*
seriously makes you want to poke an eye out.
and um, Harmony...
those are for you.

Getting my drunk will not make me reveal the picture.
MB - I never knew you went to Ike.
The neighborhood from which we moved last fall was zoned to Ike. The area further south and immediately east of the school is bad. Like baaaaad. But I've gone there to vote during the day, even during class change, and it was nothing out of the ordinary. And I fully admit to being skeered the first time
Ike was still pretty hood when I was in at Humble in 96.
Yep. And they were nice areas when we moved there. I lived in Arbor Oaks, which doesn't even exist any more. It was a neighborhood off White Oak Bayou that you'd access from Antoine just south of Victory behind the blockbuster (and I think there is a Sonic there now but there wasn't when I lived there). The neighborhood was torn down by FEMA after Alison, i believe. It was nice when I lived there. Like my neighborhood in Pearland is right now. So scary to know how quickly it can all change.
Red Dahlia went to Ike after me and didn't have experiences like mine. Nukem went there a little ahead of me and I don't think hers were as bad either. I think that being there during the Rodney King beatings was a particularly hard time for the school so racism peaked while I was there.
They also put up the chain link fence around the parking lot while I was there. It wasn't there when i started.
And they got much better security. Not surprising once they got to the period of requiring metal detectors at the doors.
