Re: Say say say- Anything
Ours does that sometimes, I think he just likes to F with me. Because not only does one kid usually wake up from a nap, two kids wake up from a nap and two dogs go apeshit. And I never get anything good, it's usually diapers.
Dear Mother Nature,
You are a dirty wh0re.
Will you PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THE FONZ MAKE IT RAIN AND TURN DOWN THE EFFING HEAT. We're over it. My bank account is over it. My yard is over it. The only people not over it are the kind folks at my electric company, who I'm sure rather enjoy the fact that I don't like to be hot especially in my own house.
Signed,
All of Houston.
So I went to AZ on business from Sat-Tues. I squeezed in some family time on Saturday visiting my grandparents who I haven't seen in a looooooooooong time.
I felt so blessed. My grandmother, who is in and out of the hospital with COPD, was having a good day. And my grandpa, who has Alzheimer's, remembered me. I really prepared myself that he wouldn't. But he did. What a blessing to be able to hug and kiss that sweet man again! He forgot I've lived in Houston for the last 33 years, but that's ok - he knew who I was. There was a time that I didn't talk to this side of the family because of issues with my dad. To have such a lovely visit was really wonderful.

I just LOLed.
All of this, including the saggy pants part. I think it just sounded kind of ... judgmental? I dunno but it rubbed me wrong, too, for no real clear reason.
Yeah, cause baggy pants automatically means big ole' lesbian. As a teacher, I wouldn't have asked that question out loud.

Asking any rhetorical question in front of the kids about another kid can end ugly. I was worried if the girl she was talking about heard her and the answer the other kids response. You can never be too safe with wording around students.
I am sure melissa didn't expect that response, and I learned quick not to say stuff like that in front of the kids because of a bad response.

i'd be really really annoyed since you have kids. if it was someone like me, no biggie. on the other hand, a lot of expat families move all around the world every few years, guess it wouldn't be much different. just annoying to have to go back to the same place after a short stint back home.
as most of you know, i *am* a dog person ;p. i don't like barking dogs though. if my dogs are barking like that when they're outside, it's for less than 5 minutes (it's usually while i'm getting their food ready or they see a squirrel). *i* get too annoyed listening to them. i don't get how your neighbor isn't annoyed??
that's when i feed my dogs
- i don't have an 8-5 job.....
i saw it on the actual show b/c i'm a loser that watches way too much trash tv.
that sounds worse than nails on a chalkboard. i'd defriend.
that's cruddy :-....if it's any consolation, a) he won't remember she missed it b) he'll notice for 5 seconds and then be distracted by his awesome bday party and c) could ya'll do something special with L before she leaves/gets back?
why do they do that?!?!? mine (and at my previous house) rings the doorbell - which is like a code red alarm for the dogs and sets them all off in a tizzy. dude, i'll see a package on my doorstep!
i'd be livid if i had a kid who was napping!
yes, i did just spend the past hour catching up on 1.5wks of missed SA.....
Jax - so sorry about your grandma :-(
and big hugs to ala and futurmrsjw
One of my ILs is a lurker. I don't know which one, but they've found out stuff about me from here & shared it with the whole IL family.
If they're reading this they should know to go out of their way to make sure I never find out who they are.
wth? Get a life ILperson.
Seriously!!

That sucks. And is pretty pathetic.
This. Someone has nothing else to do I guess
I have a SIL who has become a Nosey Nelly. It stinks. I'm very sorry. That was why I created an ae to use on some other boards.
We're moving to Houston. In a month.
It's great, but OMG, a month??
Wow. Pathetic much?
I didn't realize it was a month. That makes complete sense, but for some reason it just hadn't computed in my head.
So happy though!
No doubt! So glad 1/2
will have someone to go to the strip clubs with and she can stop begging me to come with her.
