    Hee, hee, if only it were that simple. :)

    Back to cleaning kids, the house won't clean itself, I asked, it refused. :(

    Back later. :)

    Judy, before I go, can you take a look at this thread. I'm not sure that I'm right, not sure the other poster is either, need someone who actually knows the law. :)

    Major pet peeve, having to get off AMHD to clean. :mad:

    I guess you missed that episode of Dr. Phil? ;) LOL! The kids are now having "purity balls" where the parents are spending thousands of dollars to throw them a purity party! :eek: Kind of like what a sweet sixteen party used to be, but on a much larger scale! It's almost like they are throwing a huge lavish wedding, without the groom! (or bride) The girl has purity sisters (kind of like bridemaids) and the parents invite all of their friends, and they have a ceremony and a reception afterwards! The concept is good in theory, but hey, how many people do you know that take a "vow" and then cheat? :rolleyes: ;)

    Wow, I missed that episode.

    Okay, I'm probably going to get smacked for saying this, but here goes. I do not expect my kids to remain virgins until they are married. It would be great if they waited for love, but I believe that you have to test the water before you dive in. ;)

    In preparation for that, I talk to my kids about sex, precautions, pregnancy, STD's, love, waiting until you're ready, all age appropriate, we up the info when we feel they're ready. I believe in being prepared. I didn't wait, I have to assume that they won't either. I'd rather have a sexually active teen that knows the risks, takes precautions, then a pregnant teen or a teen with AIDS.

    Okay, I'm ready, who wants to smack me? ;)

    I won't be smackin you! ;) If you don't teach them early these days, and just think that they will make the right decisions without the info, parents would be fooling themselves. Like I said, the purity rings, or purity ball thing, is all good in theory! But you know? I think if I would've been offered a big party like that, without any other info, I would have said... bring on the party, and then I'll sneak off afterwards and call my boyfriend! LOL!

    I have to say that if parents are waiting until 16 to throw that party, well, that's a bit late for most kids today. Eeeek!

    I think I'll stick to talking to the kids, then I don't have to shell out any dough. ;)

    ... um... yeah.

    Didn't someone recently hack into Miley Cyrus's phone and discover pictures of her in provocative positions?

    ... and right, the Jonas Brothers are really staying virgins.. . really. They have a buncha 15 year olds throwing themselves at it, and they're going to swat them away. Really.
  • Aug 21, 2008, 03:02 PM

    Exactly Sneezy, just because you're wearing a virginity ring doesn't mean you're going to stick to that promise. Now, a chastity belt, that's another story, especially if mom and dad have the key to the lock. ;)

    KP and his little harem. ;)

    Be careful KP, I might give you a wet willy, wait, I'l clarify, that sounds naughty. A wet willy is when someon nibbles your ear and then sticks their tongue in your ear. :);)

    Minds out of the gutter people, jeesh. ;)

    Actually alty, a wet willy is when someone licks their fingers and then puts their finger inside your ear.

    ... it's OK if you want to change the definition of certain things that'll allow you to put your tongue in kp's ear...

    ... in that case, can I give you a cottage cheese?
  • Aug 22, 2008, 08:03 AM

    Eeek, what's a cottage cheese? Remember, old person here. :(;)

    It's a dairy product with curds of whey in it, generally somewhat bitter, but good with fruit.

    People who don't turn up for an appointment.. so you've lost a days pay because you've had to take a day off work waiting in for them.

    People who never indicate in their cars.

    Waiting for a phone call that never comes.

    The phone continually ringing when your trying to do something,only to find when you eventually decide to answer... because it's disturbing your concentration,it turns out to be someone selling double glazing or alike...

    Cats that keep digging up my plants.

    People who turn up on your 1 day off a week after you'd already planned your day.

    Okay, miss this board for a day or two and there is lots of reading to do to catch up!

    Earlier Depressed in MO posted about people singing and not knowing the words.. I am totally guilty of that - in a major way. YOU KEEP ON SHOUTIN' YOU KEEP ON Shouting.. I want to rock and roll all nighhhhhhhhhhht and party every day! Okay, well for YEARS and YEARS when I was younger - this is what I sang..

    YOU KIMOSABAY... YOU KIMOSABAY... (and then I got the rest right).. Yes, I realize my spelling is wrong, but you get the point! Still cracks me up so thought I'd share.

    Tralyn, I am also guilty of that. I'm a bit older than you, I think, so you probably don't know this song, but the correct lyrics were "Everytime you go away you take a piece of me with you", I sang "Everytime you go away you take a piece of meat with you", don't know why, the correct lyrics make so much more sense. ;)
  • Aug 22, 2008, 04:28 PM

    Okay, that is hilarious too - and makes me feel much better.. ahahahhhhaahahh... too funny!

    There's another song I always messed up, but I'm too embarrassed to tell, let's just say that I thought the word blue was poo, and leave it at that. ;)

    ISneezeFunny
    ... holy crap Tralyn, I almost choked laughing at your kemosabe... ridiculous.

    0rphan, I definitely agree with the "people who say will call and never do"... I've always been the "on time or 5 min early" kind of guy... if someone even remotely says, "I'll give you a call sometime around 8" I make sure I'm relatively free between 745 - 815...

    ... but sadly, MOST of my friends are stuck in some weird time zone where everything's 45 minutes late. Grahhh

    LOL Alty! This is one of my faves that someone I knew used to sing, and now I can never get it out of my head when I hear the song. The song White Flag by Dido, It says... "and I will pull my flag out and surrender" She sang... "and I will poke my eyes out and surrender.

    ISneezeFunny... thanks for the right spelling... I know - my friend that caught me singing that just about fell on the floor laughing - luckily I was tipsy and just laughed too. I have laughed many many times over the years on that one.

    Okay, I'll admit one more that comes to mind. Sad But True - Metallica. I sang Sad Patrol... for, we'll just say at least a year. Yep - I know, horrible too.

    Pet peeve... pet peeve.

    ... discovered one this morning.

    So... I was relatively drunk last night, passed out on my bed. My Lilster passed out next to me.

    In the morning, I woke up at 8am... then felt like I could go back to sleep for another 30 min or so...

    ... then I felt something warm. My dog... got angry that I overslept... and peed on my bed. I know she can hold it longer... but no, she gets pissy... in more ways than one.

    Sneezy, are you sure it was Lily? After all, you had allot to drink, right? ;);)
  • Aug 22, 2008, 04:54 PM

    ... very true. However, I know my own the smell of my own pee.

    ... weird? Yes. But... it's true.
  • Aug 22, 2008, 04:56 PM
    Alty
    Hee, hee, poor Lily, she's little, with a wee bladder, and she knows how to hold a grudge.

    Remember Sneezy, you are her pet, not the other way around. ;)
  • Aug 22, 2008, 04:58 PM

    ... seeing as I'm doing her laundry right now while she's licking herself in her bed... seems like it.

    Pet Peeve...

    When you wake up about an hour before your alarm goes off, roll back over, peek your eyes open a bit later - it's now 1/2 hour before your alarm goes off. Roll back over, fluff the pillow - it's now 15 minutes before the alarm goes off. Get pissy because I'm not getting my last hour of sleep, roll over.. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... BEEP BEEP BEEP.. HATE THAT!!

    Heehee... you still have the lyrics wrong! :)

    I will go down with this ship
    And I won't put my hands up and surrender
    There will be no white flag above my door

    I'll up that ante. People like Michael Vick that use and abuse dogs for profit! Actually, I suppose that doesn't really fit under the "pet peeve" category, that would maybe fall under the "I want to break their legs with a baseball bat" category!
