8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 11

[The FairyGodmother]

Sorry Tom......we can hope that all teens are different though! You know what surprised me was my DS's mood swings. My DD is older and a girl like me, so her mood swings just reminded me of, well, me. But when my DS hit puberty and was kinda acting all hormonal I was surprised. Things have settled down now somewhat (he's 14) and now he's taken to mumbling everything. I don't like mumbling, but prefer it to emotional outburst Emotional outburst are reserved for the MOTHER of the house

MR is your DS into video/computer games as much as my "stinky" teen? Mine is 13 almost 14 and he spends a lot of time playing on the computer. It seems like quite a few of his friends are the same way.

My friend, the proud mother of three teenager daughters just emailed this to me. I am posting this is to all my friends who are currently are parents of teenage girls or will in the future be parenting teenage girls. Alot of this also applies to teenage boys too. So this is for parents of stinky teens! Enjoy!

Congratulations! You are now the proud new owner of a
teenaged daughter. Please read this manual carefully, as it
describes the maintenance of your new daughter, and answers
important questions about your warranty (which does NOT
include the right to return the product to the factory for a
full refund).

IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR TEENAGER IN ERROR: To
determine whether you were supposed to receive a teenaged
girl, please examine your new daughter carefully. Does she
(a) look very similar to your original daughter, only with
more makeup and less clothing? (b) refuse to acknowledge
your existence on the planet Earth (except when requesting
money)? (c) sleep in a burrow of dirty laundry? If any of
these are true, you have received the correct item. Nice
try, though.

BREAK-IN PERIOD: When you first receive your teenaged
daughter, you will initially experience a high level of
discomfort. Gradually, this discomfort will subside, and you
will merely feel traumatized. This is the "Break-In Period,"
during which you are becoming accustomed to certain
behaviors that will cause you concern, anxiety, and stress.
Once you have adapted to these behaviors, your teenager will
start acting even worse.

ACTIVATION: To activate your teenaged daughter, simply place
her in the vicinity of a telephone. No further programming
is required.

SHUTDOWN: Several hours after activation, you may desire to
shut down your teenaged daughter. There is no way to do
this.

CLEANING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER: Having a teenaged daughter
means learning the difference between the words "clean" and
"neat." Teenaged daughters are very clean, because they take
frequent showers that last more than an hour. They will
scrub themselves with expensive, fragrant soaps which you
must purchase for them because like I'm sure I'm going to
use like the same kind of soap my mom and dad use. When they
have completely drained the hot-water tank, they will step
out and wrap themselves in every towel in the bathroom, which
they will subsequently strew throughout the house. If
you ask them to pick up the towels, you are confusing
"clean" with "neat." Teenagers are very busy and do not have
time to be neat. They expect others to pick up after them.
These others are called "parents."

FEEDING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER: Your teenaged daughter
requires regular meals, which must be purchased for her at
restaurants because she detests everything you eat because
it is like so disgusting. She does not want you to accompany
her to these restaurants, because some people might see you
and like I'm sure I want my friends to see me eating dinner
with my parents. Either order take-out food or just give her
the money, preferably both. If you order pizza, never answer
the doorbell because the delivery boy might see you and
OMG he is so hot. Yes, your daughter's idea of an
attractive man is the pizza boy.

CLOTHING YOUR TEENAGED DAUGHTER: Retailers make millions of
dollars a year selling stylish and frankly sensible clothing
which will look adorable on your daughter. If you enjoy
shopping, you will love the vast selections which are
available to you. Unfortunately, your teenaged daughter
wants to dress like a lap dancer. You may be able to coerce
her into putting on a cute outfit before leaving the house,
but by the time she walks in the schoolhouse door, she will
be wearing something entirely different.

OTHER MAINTENANCE: Teenaged daughters require one of two
levels of maintenance: "High," and "Ultra High." Your
daughter is "Ultra High." This means that whatever you do
won't be enough and whatever you try won't work.

WARRANTY: This product is not without defect because she has
your genes, for heaven's sake. If you think this is not
fair, talk to your parents, who think it is hilarious. Your
teenaged daughter will remain a teenager for as long as it
takes for her to become a woman, which in her opinion has
already happened and as far as you are concerned never
really will. If you are dissatisfied with your teenaged
daughter, well, what did you expect? In any event, your
warranty does not give you your little girl back under any
circumstances, except that deep down she's actually still
there -- you just have to look for her.

Thnaks, MR! I passed this on to some of my girlfriends.

Oh, this is so funny and not funny at the same time. Totally describes DD15 almost 16. Especially, the shower part. She is famous for stealing all the hot water and the rest of get to take luke warm baths or showers.

MR is your DS into video/computer games as much as my "stinky" teen? Mine is 13 almost 14 and he spends a lot of time playing on the computer. It seems like quite a few of his friends are the same way.

Oh my gosh Laura does he ever! He'd play alot more if we'd let him too. All of his friends play as a large group online and over headsets. We allow him to go so because we can hear everything that's going on. We also make a deal with him that he can play video games as long as he keeps his grades up (a struggle) and continues to play sports with real people in the real world. He loves sports so that's not an issue. Now if he paid attention in school the way he is so engrossed in that darn video game he'd be and Einstein.....

 

[PBader]

I totally agree - the teachers play a huge role in how a child does. If the teacher isn't engaging and making learning fun for the child, why should the child even bother, especially if they are already bored? Which is what my DS's problem is.

If a child is not "happy" in a class they don't do well.

When DS was 13 or 14 I had to limit his play to only Friday ater school and Sat and Sun. It continues still. I truly don't know what they find so fascinating. LOL. And he also had to keep his grades up. I have taken away his game priveleges (by hiding the controllers) from one report card until his next one was better. This has always been a great incentive to get the grades up.

That is same as mine guy. The headsets and all. He cracks me up because he will even use his headset from the xbox to talk to his friends while he plays online with them on the computer. So he has the tv tied up with xbox while he has the computer tied up. Good thing he has his own computer and we have more then one tv.
Tell me what games he plays. I will have to ask my DS, he changes so often I can't remember which he is playing now.

Yeah we have use that as incentive too. Amazing how great a motivator computer games are.

My DS plays Halo on Xbox and Rumescape (sp?) on the computer. Our DS's sound exactly the same......must be the age......is that right Paula? Does you DS seem to be outgrowing it at 18? I still like the days were you hung out with people "in person" DS says there's no difference but there is......

 

[O'BWV]

I agree! There was a time once when a bad progress report came home, followed by a missing homework phone call, followed by some fresh mouth. Well DS lost his computer, TV, video games.......in fact all he had left was the sheets on his bed. No phone, no going out, nothing. All he moaned for was the video game. It helped turn it all around, usually now all we have to do is threaten to take the game away..........oh horrors no! Back on the straight and narrow he goes. I don't know how long that will last....but for now it's working good!

DS has played both of those games and I think he is now playing some others . Has your DS read the Halo books? Mine loved them.

Yes, but Adam still loves his video games. I truly like it when he is out with friends all day. Now that hopfeully the weather will stay on the nicer side, he will spend a lot of his time fishing. He is still trying to adjust to having more "free-time" since he quit his football team. I really hope he rejoins the team (I totally understand why he quit), it really gave him a lot of positive
time out and about. So many of his friends "hang out" in the malls and our theater is horrendous all the goings on there--I still at 18 don't let him go.

 

[The FairyGodmother]

Well, I guess, I'm off to bed. I really wanted to finish a library book today since I have been getting hate mail from the library because the books I have are way over due and they have holds so I can't renew them. I need to finish them and then pay my debt. Too bad. I had ironing and stuff to do tonight and now I am too tired to read. I would probably wake up with the book still in my hands. Which would be sound asleep due to that stupid carpal tunnel thing. At least my hands get some sleep.

It still works for me. I know there has been times when I have popped DS, but what has worked the best is just taking controllers or IPOD away. And then sticking with it, if his progress or report card was bad enough (anything less than a C). No return until the next one came out with improvement. That has taught him that I mean business and that he just can't wiggle out of it.
I wish kids these days were like us. Wakeup , play outside until dinner and head back out until the street lights came on.

OK, this is the price they are quoting me online. Seems a little steep!

The GT site shows that NY is one of many states that doesn't mandate a GT program (gifted & talented) and there is no money allocated for a program. I am feeling lucky that DS has had the little bit of motivation that he has the past almost three years and that there is a path for me to get him more challenges.

I guess it changed? When DD was in school in the late 80's she was in the gate program, which was for gifted and talented kids. I loved the way they tested the kids ,where here in Fl, you have to beg them to do the testing.

Esteri, hope the pooch is ok. That is a very difficult decision. I have had to go thru that 3 times. After the last I swore we would never have another dog again, but here we are with a 3 yr old Boston Terrier.

 

[BibbidyBobbidyBoo]

Hi everyone!

I am sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I have been reading and trying to keep up except for the last day or two. Those days I couldn't even read because everytime *I* came to the board it was down for upgrades for hours! I told y'all I have bad luck! I must have been coming here everytime it was down.

I also lost all my quotes I was saving to multi-quote. They didn't show up when I clicked now to make a post.

I have been very busy lately and if anyone has said they miss me- thank you, I am just behind on my reading now since the board was down so much, atleast for me?

I do have some good news though!!!!

First off I am getting some use of my right side of my face and mouth back! Things don't taste quite as weird (my saliva and water do not taste salty anymore and most foods taste okay, but anything 'sweet' still tastes weird. Which I guess is a good thing. I ended up losing 7lbs in less than 2wks without even trying, probably because everything tasted so horrible! LOL), my lips are funtioning better on the right side and my eye closes a little easier. I am still not 100% and my face is not back symetric with the left- but it's an improvement!!!

Secondly, been busy lately with my oldest (Ruby) practicing to try out for cheerleader. Here they can only try out for middle school (what used to be jr. high for us old fogeys I guess LOL) cheerleading once they are in 7th grade, for 8th grade (in other words then all the cheerleaders are 8th graders) and she's never really been a cheerleader before. Okay so one year in 2nd grade she was in the little league cheerleading- you know the kind you register and pay for... it's not quite the same and it was some years ago anyway. She's obviously in 7th grade now.
ANYWAY, she does have physical ability in some respects (she is athletic, she can do the jumps HIGH and some tumbling she just learned on her own... mostly learned on her own on the trampoline we had up until a couple of years ago but never took gymnastics or tumbling or anything like that) and she CAN be loud if she's not being shy... ie: she's has lungs on her but is a bit shy in some situations especially around her peers. But she also has ADHD and it's not just real easy for her to immediately "get" complicated things- and they had to do a really complicated cheer and a super complicated dance to REALLY fast music... so she had to do some heavy practicing and the way they were teaching them in "chunks" of the dance especially was confusing for her. she was learning each "chunk" (or part) but having difficulty then putting it all together. So on Monday I taped one of the present cheerleaders (from behind so Ruby would be looking at it properly instead of learning things backwards) on the cheer and dance and she practiced her little heart out Monday and Tuesday night- they only had a week, 3 practices after school, to learn all this! The first we heard about the tryouts was last week!

Okay on to my point- they had tryouts today and out of about 45 girls that tried out- she made the cheerleading squad of 13 girls!!! I am proud of her hard work, she made the squad when many of the girls trying out had been cheerleaders (private leagues- not in school because this is the first year they can try out for cheerleading in school) and/or tumbling for YEARS. Ruby has had neither, yet she still made the squad.
She is so excited, and I'm so excited for her. She's had some disappointments in the past and especially this year- not making the bball team, not making the volleyball team... she did make the track team but it also didn't work out for her on a soccer team this season (long story about that) after playing 2 seasons every year for so many years... they "forgot" to recommend her for GT this year even though they said they would (and should have when she was younger, like they did with Robert), etc. etc.
Ruby is more the athletic type than the "girly" type but she enjoyed getting fixed up for the tryouts (martha stewart I may not be, but I can sure make some mega-ribbons ponytail holders and triple ribbon/triple color shoelaces by gosh! LOL Okay so I learned that thru necessity with my youngest DD who does cheerleading for Upwards...) and even just the practice and tryouts seemed to help her get over some of her shyness, and that's good because she's going to have to get completely over it. Who ever heard of a shy cheerleader?!? LOL

So anyway, I've been busy this week and going to keep on being busy- now we have all these meetings and things with cheerleading, the girls are camping out over the weekend with their GS troops, etc. etc. I am trying to keep up on the reading though, when the board isn't down when I come here, so don't feel like I'm completely ignoring everyone please!

 

[Friend_of_Piglet]

I can't believe I only had 10 pages to catch up on!!!!

Hi There Sooz

Hiya Andy!!! Sorry to hear about your falls today, but at least you didn't get hurt. Be careful out there.

What do you call a pirate that skips class?

Captain Hooky!

And, finally, here's the one for TODAY! It's not in honor of anything, it's just funny.


Two pirate ships were crossing the ocean, one with a booty of red paint and one with a blue paint. What happened when the ships collided?

They were marooned!

BIP, glad to hear you are feeling better.

Congratulations to your little !!!

I haven't seen Crash in a few days, I hope the everything is okay.

Well, Have a very Happy Thursday everyone!!!
