Hi all,

Good day!

I'm off to the Home Depot to buy new locks for our external doors. It's cheaper than a locksmith to change the keys. The drama of an 18 year old girl's old, bad crowd of friends makes it necessary. I do NOT do drama. [8|]

Niece issues?

I ain't lookin' forward to that age range for my kids.[:(]

Yep. She's been making fantastic progress, but then an old friend brought a lot of bad influences back into her life, and she chose to leave yesterday. I predict she will now quit her school program and lose her full time job within 2 weeks, as she won't be able to get there. In 3-4 weeks, she'll be very hungry, and the boatload of friends she has decided to cast her lot with will become a shipwreck.

I'm sad and disappointed in her choice (I stupidly have forgotten how strong peer pressure can be), but we're changing the locks and moving on. Playing golf tomorrow. [8D]

Damn. That's too bad. [:(]

Any other family she can go to when things (inevitably) go South?

Nope. She's burned all her other bridges.

It is too bad, because she was doing so well with us. She chose friends over us and is likely already regretting it. [:(]

[Chickenboy]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I really feel for wayward 18 YO girls especially. Legally adults but still mental children. This world eats naive kids like this for breakfast. The girls are especially vulnerable. [:(]

[USSAmerica]

I agree, Andre. My niece's parents didn't do a very effective job of preparing her for adulthood, either.

In the mean time, I'm moving onto other concerns. Just got word that my 94 year old grandmother, who I adore, has decided she is ready to move onto the next adventure after life on this planet. She's very peaceful, but sleeping most of the time and rapidly winding down. I'm off for a quick overnight trip to Baltimore to see her.

I sure hope I, and everyone I know, will be fortunate enough to have the type of full life she has had and to go out peacefully on our own terms. [:)]

Have a great Saturday, Brothers!

Hiya buddy. How goes it?

#$%^&*@#$%% SNOW!!!!!![:@]

What do you object to, Steve, the temperatures or the shoveling?

Shoveling......[:(]

Patience, my friend. If you wait long enough it'll melt by itself. [:D]

Too bad, you're in the perfect place to study the end product of hog farming! [;)]

Mmmmm....bacon......gahrlll...(drools)

Bah! I was thinking Carolina BBQ... heaven on a bun!

This would also seem to support Belinda Carlisle's theory that heaven is a place on earth.....

Plan of the Day:

Eat wife's chile

Why dont you eat your own. Not nice to eat other people's chile. [:-]

Eh? I didn't notice that. In any case, who cares?

It was one of the people on stage with Madonna. And PA-LENTY of people seem to care. The same way with Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction several years ago. Nobody saw anything until the next day when it was shown 17,000 times on the news, but OMG, TEH HORROR!

The only Super Bowl I didn't watch. And there was wardrobe malfunction. So I was on my knees praying for another one. And I got flipped the bird.[8|]

I think that means the good lord has a sense of humor.

Hey Comrade Red Mouse,

Sorry-now that you're married, there'll be no more of this...she's even a smoker too!

What the hell is that? [X(]

Hi all,

Some pictures from Senj, Croatia...

My family roots are from that area (few hundread years back though)... [:)]


Leo "Apollo11"

I think your family roots might be a bit chilled just now. [X(]

Quick! I need a hippo, 500 gallons of BBQ sauce, the december 1991 issue of Vanity Fair and a plaster bust of Walter Cronkite! No time to explain, gogogogo!

Please clarify the genus of the hippopotamus. [8|]

[Onime No Kyo]

Now that I think about it, my ex-wife is not too far from here. She could do a good job of standing in for the hippo. [:D]

Ouch! [X(][:D]

Is no one curious how you could possibly travel 800 miles southeast of the South Pole?

I'm amazing curious. [:'(]

Prodigious, even....

How did they figure SOUTHEAST?[&:]

Somebody, who is map challenged, looked at a south polar projection of Antarctica, noted where the South Pole is on the map, and then determined the drilling site was 800 miles "down and to the right" of the SP. [:D]

Well, there ARE two South Poles, you know. They're not at the same place.

And I assume that the rest are in Poland.
