Yo, I Got Your Chit Chat Right Here

[AuburnJen92]

right now he has the practice weight on there because we couldn't go outside because of the lightning today...my parents live on a pond, so we will be casting for real tomorrow...

Should I be concerned, or impressed, that my 6 year old knows this song and sings it regularly

I LOVE your child!!

I grew up my entire life on one or another body of water in Alabama. We went boating/ fishing/ or canoeing every weekend. I've always loved any activity and still do...with my job on the road and camping as I go I always try to find a location on or near the water....this time its only a pool but its water lol...A patient asked me today if I liked to go fishing, I said yes..he said do you OWN your own pole...yes again, do you bait your own hook...yes again...then I blew him away...I said my pole is PINK and Purple....lol he said ICK you really are a girly girl...I just laughed and moved on....fun for a few min. in the middle of my bust **** day!!!

Okay...I'm gonna scream here...I just checked my credit card statement because I thought something was "off". It was off all right. It seems that the card I gave my daughter to use back in the beginning of April to pick up a present for my nephew, has been used repeatedly since. BY HER!
I never even thought to get it back. I do let her use it now and then if she needs books or something for school....or emergencies.

Apparently, she has emergencies sucking down Mocha lattes in Starbucks twice a week! In addition to stops at the gas station. Well, that doesn't sound soo bad you say...gas. Well, it wouldn't be bad except for the fact that I've been giving her CASH for gas! Sooo....what do you suppose she's been doing with the cash.
Spending it on her POS boyfriend maybe?....Lord help me, because tonight I want to kick her behind from here...to somewhere else! Here I'm thinking let me throw her a little cash, because she's working so hard in school. Got her grades back up after a CRASH last semester( Mr. POS again! ). She seemed to be back on track..and getting her priorities strait. We just ignore the boyfriend, and pray on a daily basis that he is swallowed up by the earth. Hey...it COULD happen ya know!
It's probably a good thing her father is sleeping and she isn't home. I am going to have her pay this back...every freakin' cent. I mean it's not a fortune..but a $180.00 without asking...I DON"T THINK SO.

[BigDaddyRog]

I hate your daughters boyfriend too.....I hate everybodies' daughters boyfriends. And you're right, its probably all his fault...he probably makes her buy him drugs with the cash(thats how MY mind works when it comes to my kids' boyfriends!!)He probably hits her too!!

Get'em Phyl....get'em good!!!

 

[auntie]

Don't think we haven't considered it.

the disappearing I mean.
Where's that damn pixie dust when you need it?

 

[auntie]

It's one fine line to walk. Say too much..and you may as well pour glue all over the relationship..only pushes them together. At the same time...I don't like it...her father doesn't like it. Her brother wants to shoot him. Only she
loves him.
I could throw up thinking about it.

Took my two little ones fishing on the river behind my parents house a while back on a weeknight. Tried the ole' teach 'em how to cast routine, stuck a rubber worm on the end of a too-small hook with a big ole bobber sitting just a foot above the hook. You know, the kind of set-up that could hardly snag a tree limb, never mind a fish; just so they could get the hang of how to cast without catching the back of their head. Wouldn't you know my daughter caught a trout with that set-up? First darn cast! I'm over a ways trying to get the little guy set-up and my daughter's complaining that she can't see the bobber any more. I'm figuring it's in the bushes or something. Nope. Snagged herself one of the most hungry and desperate trout that ever lived. 15 years of fishing that river myself with no luck and she catches something on the first cast.

DH did something similar with Jake last summer. They were out fishing and hadn't caught anything all weekend. DH is (again) untangling his line from getting caught on a stump, when Jake's bobber goes down. Thinking it's yet another of numerous logs, he tells him to wait, but Jake can't hold on. Ends us being some 20+ inch something or other, I forget what kind of fish it was, but Jake still talks about the "fish Dad thought was a log."

I LOVE your child!!

Thanks, so do I. He's the only 6 year old I know that asks for a beer - root beer that is, but he still thinks it's pretty cool that he can have a beer with us. And he toasts us, "to the hunt". He's obsessed with hunting and fishing, just like his father.


One of these days, I'll figure out how to multi-quote so I don't just rattle on aimlessly in numerous posts

There've been a few days when I could have considered a hot cup of 'joe as an emergency (but not from Starbucks). Sorry to hear about your frustrations, but maybe it's better she learns these lessons now while you have some say and guidance. Just trying to find the silver lining somewhere.

I hate your daughters boyfriend too.....I hate everybodies' daughters boyfriends. And you're right, its probably all his fault...he probably makes her buy him drugs with the cash(thats how MY mind works when it comes to my kids' boyfriends!!)He probably hits her too!!

Now you guys are making me nervous. My sweet little 9yo daughter will never put me through this, right??? RIGGHHTT???? (crossing fingers)

Sounds like it's high time for a road trip to Auntie's place and the kids can go "hunting" together ???

The multi-quote option is done by clicking on the icon in the lower right hand corner that has the quotation marks (not the word "quote"), it will let you click on multiple messages, then you click on "Post Reply" and it fills in the reply area with all the prior messages you are quoting.

Pete.... did you forget all the beer I brought (and drank) to the MDGG, and my part as the "Beer Wench"??? The pro-pasta salad...the witty and stimulating conversations, a certain technique I shared involving air compressors - a hose with appropriate nozzle, and blue crabs? Doing shots of Rumplemintz and surviving? If I don't know my place, who does?

 

[djblu883]
