Morning!!

 

[TEminnie]

I don't like to think I cause trouble. I prefer that I around and follow the bad crowd...yeah, you all know who YOU ARE! Not mentioning any names (coughTEcough).

Are you sick??? I have some GREAT tasting cough syrup for that nasty cough of yours! And you'll sleep for a LONG time too!

Sounds like fun. I have only ridden a 3-wheel ATV back in the 80s and I forgot that the brake was on the handlebars so I went to brake with my foot and the wheel started to roll over the back of my legs. So stupid me put my other foot down and both wheels started going over both back legs. Meanwhile, I'm still cranking the motor and screaming! I finally figured it out and my legs were pretty raw!

3 wheelers are actually illegal now--probably for the reason you stated! I am going slow on it now but it seems fun. I'll try to post a picture soon--AE took one of me on it, but my rear-end looks big--anyone know how to photoshop? Maybe I'll put J-Lo's rear on mine!

 

[MotoXPrincess99]

3 wheelers are pretty fun. I've got an old one 1982! My DBF just bought me a pit bike. Its fun but i want more wheels! I am trying to talk him in to buying a quad.

Disneyolic, in my long and eventful life I have found that is is safer to run with the 'wild' crowd as opposed to the 'good' group. It is not really that either bunch is less likely to get into trouble but the good guys are just sneakier. With the 'wild' crowd you know exactly who they are and are not as easily surprised. They are also more fun, even when they threated to overdose you with cough medicine.

TEminnie, yes ALL my grandkids call me "Grandma". I would not have it otherwise. If you are old enough to be one you are old enough to be called one. There are exceptions if there are more than one grandma but since I am the main grandma who is there for everything and the other one a mere visitor when it suits her I ARE GRANDMA!! Btw, the little dear is promising to teach me how to play Tetris. I have been working with computers since 1966. Think I know the game???

What do you call a goat that lip syncs?





Billy-Vanilli. Sorry, I just had butt in with that one.

Ummmm, with your recent purchase does that mean that you are now officially "Hell on Wheels"???

englishrose47, I thought all of you Englishmen/women were dainty creatures with rosy cheeks and cultured ways. Then I remembered my history and considered Winston Churchill, Queen Elizabeth and a few others. I used to mow 3 acres with a rotary mower. I had the muscles to prove it too. Too poor for the gas. We have had no rain for over a month and none expected anytime in the foreseeable future. My sil tells me that the crop insurance will cover the expenses but there will be no money for any living expenses. Some have too much, others too little. Has always been thus. We do not appreciate things until we do not have them. My arms ache from carrying all the buckets of water to and from the yard. The weeds are growing well though.

Linda, You are too funny! I really have to go, and I almost wet myself....here at work. Now I have to do V's runway/potty strut all the way to the bathroom.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Sol, you want I should send you a few pair of astronaut diapers??

Anything to help. Is this what your 'strut' looks like?

It looks more like I am trying to walk and hold an aspirin between my knees.

Wow, I'm the WILD crowd!! And I'm usually just a bargain hunting, capri-wearing, minivan driving mom! But I feel EXTRA cool now! Thanks!
(I need a cool nick name now...or a tag would be nice....you are still the tag fairy, right??)

I call my grandparents "grandma and grandpa" but my kids started saying "Maw-maw and Paw-paw"--so that stuck and appears to be pretty universal around here.

2 thumbs up for the goat jokes!!

Oh--I'll put that on my minivan too--should make interesting conversation at parent pick-up!

TEminnie, I was a nerd way back when it was NOT cool. Me and my 'gang' have gone on to have uneventful lives in that we have not had (many) multiple marriages, arrest records and such and now that we are nearing retirement age it is now our turn to cut loose. I wanna bumper sticker that says "I want to embarrass my children". Since I do no matter what I do I might as well excel.

I hereby tag you with "Heck on Wheels" as you are in training and not quite as bad as you will be after hanging around here for awhile. I know a few of these ladies and if you want to be led astray and get your groove on this is the place. Since I have absolutely no powers you will have to just enjoy your 'tag' in your dreams though.

sorul82?, if memory serves me correctly

hold an aspirin between my knees.

was the birth control prescription before THE PILL was invented.

[TEminnie]

"I want to embarrass my children"

Yes, I seem to be doing that on a daily basis now too...

I hereby tag you with "Heck on Wheels"

Well, I really haven't made it out of the front yard yet.
But I'm aiming for the mailbox today, but it's a pretty steep slope so I gotta get my nerve up!
AE has 2 guy friends coming at 11 to ride the new 4-wheeler, so maybe I'll get some tips!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

TEminnie, I see to embarrass my kids just by breathing so I have figured that I might as well be 'me' and go for it.

My dd told me, a bit ago, that I was NOT funny so I have been carrying a list in my purse and everytime someone tells me that I AM funny I have them sign the paper. I plan to present it to her for Christmas. Sad thing is that her son, my 10 year old grandson, says she will not 'get it'. So true, so sad. BTW, my grandkids and their friends think I am funny. Also more than a bit odd. I concur.

I think it is a good idea to 'aim' for the mailbox cause if you are like me you will NEVER manage to hit. Please also aim for any other dangerous things in your path while you practice.

[DisneyJo]

Linda I love the paper idea, my Dad constantly embarrassed me as a kid and I was so glad when the DD's came along as he joked with them instead

TE be careful when we were little we had a drive on lawn mower and a big hill in our garden and my DSis turned it over, it was funny really as she wasn't hurt just stuck underneath, I know I was a lovely sister

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

DisneyJo, embarrassment is is in the eye of the beholder. One person's fun is another's shame. I feel terribly sorry that I embarrass my dd especially since she has NEVER embarrassed ME!!

I also enjoy the fact that she complained our house was so boring but all of her friends grew up here and to this day still comment on all the 'cool' things we had. Big screen TV, computer, pool table etc. etc. way back when no one but a bar had all those things. It was my ploy to keep MY kids where I knew where they were and if I had to raise a couple dozen or so other kids along with it that was fine by me. I am a sneaky woman.

Yes, I have debated copying and pasting people compliments of my "coolness" and such and sending them to AE, but I think she thinks we are all a little strange on these boards! (except DM who she is writing on myspace now )

Hey---I need some POSITIVE stories--I still haven't made it down the driveway, but I haven't hit anything either.

Well, better get off soon--got to get the goat back in the fence, cancel DHs Paris reservation, and get AE to her drama camp (she is doing a Comedy/Improv performance tonite). She says it's like "who's line is it anyway"--I love that show!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

TEminnie, please tell me what AE is? For me it is one of my favorite TV channels.

I fear if we must make a list of our coolness we probably are not as cool as we might think. Of course, I could be wrong. I doubt that I am 'cool' or ever have been but funny is something I hear a lot of. Funny, ha-ha, or some other variation they never make quite clear.

I have sisters who have My Space pages. Seems a bit odd to me but then what do I know?? It is a good way to keep up with their lives though. One sister morphed from a 40 year old mother of 4 into a Scandinavian teenager. Hey, whatever works for you. If I morph into someone other than myself I might meet some interesting folks but doubt they would be to my liking so I will just stay myself.

I will not tell you of my one sister who went over the side of a hill on her motorized vehicle (lawn mower) and still recovering. Stuff happens. I think you are wiser and will survive. Life without risk is not life after all!

What do you call an unemployed goat?

My DB and SIL are using this tatic. They re-did the whole basement over and their kids' friends are always there. My nephew's best friend sleeps over so much the couch has a permanent indentation of his butt.

 

[englishrose47]

If I came home from work and didn't find other kids or neighbors in the house I'd think I was in the wrong house and yet the grandkids would say it's boring!! Guess all those others homes must be too exciting they need the boredom at our house!!

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

puggymom, I always felt it was better to pay for the pizzas and sodas than to put out bail money.

EnglishRose, even tho I have never been the 'cool' mom in that I did not allow a whole bunch of stuff at my house I still have kids in the house. My dd, who hated all my rules, now allows her son and his girlfriend to 'date' at my house. It used to be an apartment house way back when so there are a couple of rooms that can be 'sort of' private and they have the big screen TV, new edition, pool table and other amenities. Keeps the kids off the streets and my hair a bit darker than it might otherwise be. My dd knows that I am still not cool so she need not worry. I drop in once in awhile just to shake things up. I am far too young to be a great grandma.
