They did- as much as any sadistic 11 year would. By the time I had gotten down, I didn't need the enema anymore.
You made their day....good job Mom!

Oh you and your keyboard protectors!
Okay everyone, the water wedgie thing was a joke. Just one of those things between friends. After a DISmeet and frequent encounters during the trip including our families at the Kidani pool together, I consider Glenn a good friend now and we can joke with each other without offense (at least I hope Glenn feels that way too). However, since he is picking on my designation in my siggie, I'm not sure if I should take that "no-no" comment personal......
Of course those speedos at the pool did give me some doubts.......
Yes, we can joke! But you clear up one rumor (water wedgie) and start another (speedo)?!
I was just trying to say that this smilie

should not show someone DISing and drinking coffee at the same time. That's a dangerous combo.
I highly reccommend you take NOTHING personally from here! We're mostly just a bunch of big-mouthed jokers (well, except Cynthia who's pretty classy) who like to joke around. For the most part, no-no's don't even enter the equasions.
speedos would make me have doubts about most everything. Except what's "there". EEK!
I was wondering about that speedos and doubts sentence until I read the next sentence. Then it was "okay, that's what I'm thinking".
How strange! But on the topic of Slumdog Millionaire, which really was a great film, I would also recommend reading the book. I am a bit crazy since I try to always read the book first before I see a film. So I deliberately picked this book up when the film came out last year. It's one of the few times when I loved the book and the film they made out of the book. They are slightly different from each other, but each is great in its own way.
You don't often hear that about books. Usually people say that the book was "so much better than the movie". I don't make the time to read a lot of novels. I've read all of the Tom Clancy books like "The Hunt For Red October" etc. etc., but that was a long time ago. And my kids have gotten me to read the Harry Potter books, but I've only gotten through a couple of them.
ah, thanks for the edit. I was starting to wonder how the USA could be only one hour ahead of -stan.

I realized yesterday that soon there will be some hick-up in the space-time-continuum thanks to what you Americans call Daylight Saving Time and we (and the British according to Wikipedia) call Summer Time. USA changes mid March, Europe at the End of March and -Stan appears not to change at all (?).
Yeah, I didn't understand Liesa's time reference in that post either!
I prefer my version of the mice dance.....hmmm, I think you need to recreate it and post the pictures.
I don't think I could. I'm not that good an actor to recreate that moment. "Method Acting" for that scene is completely out of the question.
I have a rule for all of god's creatures.....if I invite it into my house they are welcome to be there. But if they come in univited, revenge is mine.
I can now count out Crapistan and Mexico as possible vacation destinations. Lizzards and big hairy spiders....nope, I don't do those sorts of creatures.
I'm with you, although I wouldn't rule out Mexico just yet. Tribilin can walk ahead of me and clear a path of all emotion-stirring creatures.
water wedgies.....been there done that. And there isn't any polite or discreet way to de-wedgify your derrier when you get out of the pool at the bottome of the slide.
I've also had the privledge of a few water enemas from water skiing...or more appropriatly, attempting to water ski. I never could make it to full standing so I spent many attempts bouncing along with my bum hitting the water like an otter on a pogo stick.
I've attempted water skiing 3 times and have made it to standing on the latter 2 of them. It's easy once you're up there, but darned tough getting there. But the wipe outs can be nasty.
I loved Slumdog Millionaire! I'll add the book to my list...it's so rare that a movie is as good as the book.
After seeing it I had my oldest 2 kids watch it...it halped to show them how fortunate they are.
My oldest, 15, could probably watch it, but not pushing it yet.
I still don't understand the reason for changing the hours back and forth every year....but I think it's great for 1 day in the fall when I get to sleep in an hour later.
I know there is at least one state that doesn't even "do" day light savings....that confuses me even more.
Daylight savings time is the bomb.
At least something good came from this very traumatic moment in my life.
Don't worry, I never take anything very seriously on here, especially when glennbo is involved with the thread

And definitely don't take much I say on here seriously either. It is all good, clean (usually) fun! BTW, I never said Glenn was the one wearing the speedos at the pool (and no, it definitely wasn't me either).
Glad you got around to clearing up that speedo rumor!
"otter on a pogo stick." Now I'm the one spewing coffee.


I can relate. My first attempts at water skiing I had a hard time standing up to start with, but I was just getting a face full of water until I figured it out. If the water had been going elsewhere, I would have probably let go sooner!
"Otter on a pogo stick" is an interesting visual. And yes, you can really take a beating while trying to stand up on water skis.
How strange! I don't approve of that concept of having different time zones within one country either... Here in Europe nearly everywhere important has the same time or at least you have to travel across water to get a different time (I know that is a bit simplicistic - there are Portugal and Greece as well...)
But what about the longitudinally-endowed countries? (Hey, I think I just coined another phrase!

) I mean, it's not a big deal in the longitudinally-challenged countries (just had to slip that in too), but in places in China, Russia, and perhaps the U.S. there's a pretty big difference east to west.
Crossing water makes sense as a good dividing line for time changes.
