Where in the World is Bob Saget?

I thought this was @Nemo14 posting. I got all confused, and I still kind of am. Disregard this post and my previous two, and everything should be back to normal.

Did you miss trash day?

I hate when they use bits of crushed beans mixed with chocolate. It needs to be chocolate (preferable dark chocolate) covered WHOLE espresso beans. YUM.

How do you know which is which?

 

[Gabe1]

Here's mine from 1st grade thru 6th.

Sister James Marie
Sister Augustin Marie
Sister John
Sister Augustin Marie
Sister Augustin Marie
Sister Mary James

They were all nice with the exception of one. Care to guess which one it was... of course, it was Sister Augustin Marie. That woman had a temper on her and apparently took a vow to never use any form of deodorant. Either that or she just had dirty habits. (or both) That woman followed me up 4 grades. I wonder if it was something I said or did that made them decide that I was worthy of being overseen by an ex-prison guard.

Sister John was the nicest. She was the Mother Superior. She was old and was in charge of the Catholic Candy Stash. We spent more time eating candy that year then learning something. She loved to tell religious stories.

I had Sister James in 1st grade, she like to come up behind kids and smack them upside the back of the skull with her pointer stick. She always walked the rows while we were working silently with her pointer stick in hand.

He worked in the transportation department at the Motherhouse. Department - so funny, there were only two of them.
Anyway, he and his brother managed their fleet of 55 cars. Arranging for service; assigning cars on a daily, weekly or per trip basis; driving some of the really old ones to appointments; and settling insurance claims.

Mostly settling insurance claims.

"What did you hit, Sister?"
Nothing.
"Are you sure?"
Quite sure.
"What did you hit, Sister?"
NOTHING
"Sister, your back bumper is missing entirely, the whole passenger side is scraped and covered with (insert colour here) paint, and the police are pulling into the front parking lot. What did you hit, Sister?"
Oh, I might have tapped a car in the mall parking lot.

Hahahah. That is more the Nuns I use to know. Instead of the Flying Nun it was the Lying Nuns. Are you allowed to flee the scene of an accident in Canada? Oh Sisters.

When my DD was born we changed parishes, as the parish in my town had only one priest and he was a big jerk and a drunk. He had some issues with children and was not allowed into the school anymore but he was with kids for mass. We just got out of dodge and was already walking a fine line with my Catholicism. When we brought my DD in to talk with the Nun about setting up a time to have her Baptised she took her and held her and talked to her. Nun was in her own little world with my DD. My DD hated anyone that wasn't me as an infant and she just smiled at her. First Nun I met that was sweet and kind. The priest from our former parish was ultimately arrested in the priest sex scandal and the priest before him in the same parish was also convicted. Little did I know how good my judgement was.

As to the other, no more details really.
I got into it with my son. For the first time ever, I matched him FU for FU.
I might have pushed back too far, but the way he treats me is abusive, and I'm sick of it.

The truth is, if I were a senior citizen and you witnessed the treatment I endure, you would call the cops immediately. Instead, I'm a 46 year old mother, and people just think, "Gee, that kid's a jerk".

I'm not proud, but you can only push a person so far. Yesterday, he reached that point and I pushed back. He however, was way too tired, totally stressed about a separate issue, and I may have pushed back too hard.
Oh well, life goes on.

I am so sorry you have to deal with this daily. You have every right to be sick of it. As my Gran would say it sounds like he need 4 years of service in the military or military school to whip him into a man. {{{HUGS}}}

 

[JenniferS]

what is this "" talk ?
I really hope you guys are not talking about "queefs" (is that how you wite it?)

THEY might be. Canadians do not discuss bodily functions.

 

[JenniferS]

You're thinking of the British meaning.

Canada too.
I was horrified when I first heard about packs.

Spoiler

Honest to goodness, I thought it was a pack you wore to carry your "monthly necessaries".
And then a ladies jean store opened at the mall, called "'s.

My FIL had a younger sister who was a nun.

A lovelier, kinder, more Christian lady, you could never meet.
When attending family functions, she would even knock back a beer or two.

RIP - Sister Margaret, dead much too young from cancer.

No idea what any of that means, I could get it to copy but not the embed thing

We are generally out by noon or 1pm each day (and not back in until after 4pm), so we haven't seen the chaos. Just about to take the bus to Magic Kingdom, so I expect we'll experience it now!!

That being said, it certainly isn't Christmas crazy - just seems like normal summer crazy.

When I did Epcot on the 4th it was crazy crowded at night and worth every minute. It was an amazing display.

 

[Gabe1]

And yet I had the Bacon CupCake at America in Epcot, I was not impressed.

And only if someone would keep bringing frozen margaritas (just to stay hydrated - for medicinal purposes only)

Wonder how restroom breaks work in those 5 hour lines.

My girlfriend's reaction to the line for a M&G once was, "A picture of this would be great for a birth control ad..."

I'm watching Jim Cantore getting blown around the beach now that Arthur has made landfall. That's one tough dude.

 

[Gabe1]

Hubby was still sleeping.
He doesn't really like it when I make the bed while he's still in it.

But you want to now don't ya?

I figure just like those awards shows - you get a professional placeholder while you make a pit stop
