Just wanted to add that the colored tin foil on the Hershey kisses works just as well as glitter. And you can eat the chocolate before feeding the wrappers to your pets.

This was my helpful hint of the day.

Babies eat the whole thing, foil and chocolate. I have a few diapers I can donate to the crafters.

I must say, the thread about the 'tipping' has heated up again. Could it make it through the weekend?

A poohapendectomy sounds painful AND pricey!

I would get an epidural for a poohapendectomy!

Well, we've been busy, haven't we?

And obviously no one likes me because pages ago, I asked a very serious question & need some advice from my dear fellow DISers.

Yesterday I picked up my DD & DS from school, as I tend to do every day. While we were driving home - well, *I* was driving; they were riding.

Which makes me think of something else.

A couple of weeks ago, my 8 year old DS asked if he could drive my mini-van. I said no. However, I'm second-guessing myself. Should I have said yes? I mean, I know it's illegal for a child to drive a vehicle, but my DS is special. He's quite good on the Wii Mario Kart game, & I think he'd probably be okay w/ a real car - especially if I crouched down in the & hit the pedals for him while he steered since his little legs don't quite reach. Of course, I'd be right there w/ him! What kind of mother do you think I am? Now upon rethinking my original "no", I'm thinking I'm not a very good mother, am I? I should never say no. His self-esteem is going to be non-existand now. Plus, I put the proverbial brakes on his creativity & freedom of expression. He wanted to drive the car, and I should have let him. Shouldn't I have?

Anyway, back to my original question--

On our drive home yesterday, my DD complained that the new aide was "mean". I, with loving concern (because I am an involved, interested parent, darnit!), asked, "What do you mean, she's 'mean'?" She replied, "I dunno." Me: "Well, is she mean to you? Has she done or said something to you?" My precious DD: "Not yet, but I know she will." I then advised her to "suck it up" & "Don't do anything wrong & she won't be mean."

We continued driving. But, oh man, I blew that one too, didn't I? Should I have turned the car around, returned to school, & demanded a meeting w/ the teaacher, or better yet - the principal, since my DD believes that the new aide might someday be mean to her?

RE: Black Friday. I vote no.

Also, for the record, I don't like to point out spelling and/or grammar errors; however, "kitty" is commonly spelled with one "y" as in "kitty" & not "glitterkittyy". I'm just saying.

That one's a good read. I'm betting it'll make it through the weekend!

Stop picking on my dangling 'y'. Do I come to your house and pick on your danglies?

Think I'll get jello salad after the operation?

I was especially interested in that brother of yours (whom apparently has turkey legs instead of regular limbs, poor fellow) and his ability to do 'historical voices'. Perhaps you could entice him to contribute to this thread, 'speaking' in various historical voices? He could write, for instance:

(Colonial Williamsburg accent): Here Ye, Here Ye! Beware of the Cougars!

It would bring history alive!

Oh I assure you that both my brothers are especially interesting. Turkey leg brother (don't feel too bad for him. Those legs will come in handy if ever he is stuck in the desert or woods with little prospect of food. Which is quite likely apparently, given the amount of "Survivor Man" and "Man Vs. Wild" he watches. Who knew it was so paramount for a Portland resident to know how to turn urine into water and the best way to prepare a sheep's brain?) is not likely to post on these boards. In his words he is "very busy doing the sort of writing that pay's". Of course what he is really doing is the sort of writing that may eventually pay, and in fact the sort of writing that is doing the opposite of paying currently, but we love him, so we don't point this out too often. (well love and the fact that he still gives a mean noogie) He will be visiting next week and perhaps if I hide Zelda and the banana cream pie I can twist his stocky Turkey legs into posting.
My younger brother is in college and studying all things "baked". Pies, tarts... brownies. All sort's of baked goods.
I am quite sure I could get him to post on here in a "historical" voice (or the guy from Sling blade. I know he does a good sling blade dude) as long as I tell him it looks like a message board, but is in fact a bean and cheese burrito.

As a thrift gift suggestion to be treasured by all your loved ones, you might want to shelack that and put it on a string to serve as a gift of jewelry. Very shimmery!!!

I haven't read all the replies, so I apologize if this has already been brought up, but I did see an episode of Mythbusters where they proved that you CAN polish a turd. Quite pretty really. Polished poo.

Think I'll get jello salad after the operation?

Not if you get the procedure done on Thanksgiving. I don't think jello salad is on the "official" menu. I don't recall reading it in the historical letters either. Maybe they will offer you yams with Splenda? Or a fried pie?

Your a bad mom. You probably like mayonnaise and shop at the Walmarts.
Were you yelled at by a mean old lady in McDonalds when you were young? If not I see no excuse for your behavior. I sentence you to a lifetime in the values during a perpetual cheerleading convention.

Well, I say as long as he's a snowflake, no reason for him not to drive.

And you should probably have gone right back to school & threatened to sue. Your poor kids; have you thought about getting them counseling?

Everything that has been posted here in the past 7 hours was NOT ME! It was my friend that shares my screen name. I would never have talked about that time, at band camp, when.....


oops! Gotta go

Now that's a job worth having.

What's your husband do?
Oh he's head turd polisher.

 

[monkeybug]

If you are interested enough in my brother to go to his web page and read samples of his writing (or if you want to make him a sandwich) it is here-
http://www.epicscribe.com/
You can tell him that his much better looking, and much more talented sister sent you because she felt bad for him. What with those turkey legs and all.
Just don't tell him where I hid the banana cream pie.
And this is the brother that pooped in the toddler potty in JCPenny's, not the brother who sat in a poo pile (though he was witness to that glorious event)
His blog is updated more frequently and much more hilarious, but I have to check and make sure I'm allowed to invite internet strangers to view it. I am assuming he won't mind, he seems to have a fondness for strangers, but I don't want to risk a noogie.
He also made my Grandma smoke a cigar in an igloo. Just thought you needed to know that.
Oh and we plan on having a light saber fight with our Iphones in front of the Ace of Cakes next week. My brother is engaged to Mary Alice, she just isn't aware of that yet, and we can't afford the $1,000 deposit to pretend we want a cake. I'm a good sister!

I agree with your thought that you should have immediately taken the 'mean-aide' issue up with the authorities (not the principal, however, for they lack 'real' power; I mean with the board of trustees and a lawyer I shall be referring you too soon) and get the mean-aide fired. After all, what is the lost of employment to a mean-aide when compared to a child's smile?

As for the boy: if a child is old enough to request to drive, then they are mature enough to drive. It reminds me of another thread we once had where a person asked if they should get their two-year-old daughter pierced ears (or, rather, piece the ears the girl already had; not purchased ready-made pierced ears). The poster thought the daughter was too young, but said the daughter had requested them one day while they were walking through a mall.

Well! Of course the poster was immediately taken to task for not fullfilling the little girls' wish immediately. I was astounded at how many posters had children as young as five months old making such piercing demands, and they all acceded; one poster whom had the procedure done on her two-year old said that "If my child is old enough to ask for her ears, tongue or naval to be pierced, then she is old enough to have it done".

This, of course, I have never thought of. I was instantly struck by the unassailable logic.

I was a little confused when that same poster, in another thread, stated that an older daughter, aged 13, was 'not mature enough' to go out on a date with a 14 year old boy, but I decided that the posters' infant was simply more mature than the 13 year old.

I confess, I did not actually read your post. However, I hope that my responses have, by happy accident, addressed your concerns.
