Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Hubby is not the problem (his father was an ex-serviceman and trained him well), although he would not scoop cat litter if his life depended on it.

My kids, and the endless trail of teenaged boys that tramp through/crash at my house are the useless ones.

True story - when we want to hide food/snacks from the masses, we stash it in the back of the top rack of the dishwasher.
Now we need to figure out where to hide ice cream.
Hubby bought a 30-pack of chocolate covered ice cream bars and a 24-pack of ice cream sandwiches on Thursday night.
When we left for work yesterday, there were about 20 bars and 15 sandwiches left. When we got home, there were two empty boxes on the kitchen counter.
He was ticked! Says he's never buying them ever again! He will.

I've actually seen my kid walk into a bathroom, see an empty toilet roll, and decide to use a different bathroom altogether, rather than actually change it. Are you kidding me?!

My ex would take out a new roll and lean it on the empty roll left on the roller.

Yeah, that is not something I do all the time... where is that lookaround smiley when I need it?...

 

[Gabe1]

I accept this challenge.

Who wants the tomato slice?

Me!

My ex would take out a new roll and lean it on the empty roll left on the roller.

After I've been left paperless I've been known to leave a new on the bathroom sink. It is funny to see how long it will take someone to put it on the roller. Whatsupwiththistask?

I'm blessed. I've never had to do the food hiding thing. My kids were never big eaters and the overwhelming majority of kids that visited were well mannered. My DS had one kid as a friend for years that worked on my nerve. He was trouble and by the Grace of God my son never got webbed into any of twits actions. One day I opened the front door and he pushed past me, literally and went to his room. DS wasn't home. He didn't believe me. When my son did the college program his parents moved about an hour away and took him with. Few sightings of the still worthless scum.

My DD had two young friends, one that would just open my fridge. I was stunned. The other one I hated to reciprocate by asking her over to play. She preferred to talk to adults and when playing she was bossy. Actually a lot like her Mom, Dad and her Sis were so nice. One Day Pompous 7 year old was talking to me about the family novel they were reading together, the Hobbit (instead of playing with the kid). I agreed, I told her I also enjoyed that book. She was aghast. How could I know anything about the Hobbit? Are you saying you would read a book like the Hobbit? I knew this was a spin off of what her Mom likely said about our family vs her and her DD with sticks up their.........

We have a gazebo in our backyard which was a favorite of my DS to entertain and drink under the table with his work friends. They would all then go to my family room and crash on what they dubbed Couch-Bed that can be arranged to sleep about 10 comfy, more uncomfy if set up in a square. One of his friends studying to be a doctor would turn the opposite way to use the non designated restroom and march into my livingroom and sit down to Chat with me and also use the other facility.

Thankfully these 3 annoying kids have left the circle of life of my family.

I used to like The Weather Channel a lot better when they actually had weather forecasts. They seem to be rare anymore.

Me too. Now for most of the morning it looks like a copy of the Today Show, and in the evening they run reality-type shows that have nothing to do with the current weather.

I am so sad.
One of my favourite actors passed away last night.

James Garner, dead at 86.

RIP - James Rockford.

Yes, I was very sorry to see that news, as well.

It's my day off, and I don't have to be anywhere until 5:00.

A) Thinking about showering and getting dressed.
B) Also thinking about making a great big batch of spaghetti sauce.

Sadly, I have to do A before I can do B.

You mean one of the people who believes the moon landings weren't faked?

Oh they were fake, I know - I saw Capricorn One!

One of my uncles, and at least two of my cousins (his sons), still believe it was all a hoax, even after mounds of evidence has been presented over the years to the contrary.

 

[donaldtoo]

hey I went to the moon last year to help Walt Disney pick a site for lunar Disney world parks and resort

Hey! I was on that mission, too!!!
But...now that I think about...I don't remember seein' you on it...?!

I'm pretty sure that the government did not blow up the WTC and that Elvis Presley is dead.

Elvis did it.

The wedding was wonderful. The women wearing their saris were beautiful and the cake had henna tattoo-like stenciling and an elephant cake topper. Now for the 8 hour drive back home.

Glad ya' had fun and that ya' had a safe trip back!

Next you guys will start believing the rumor that the yeti at Expedition Everest used to move!!!

Wait?! Since when has there been a yeti at EE?!?!?!

 

[donaldtoo]

Youth. I've seen my DS stay out all night and go to work in the morning. Come home NAP a couple hours and go out again that night. Thinking these days have started to dwindle, he is now well into his 20's

Yep, mid-ish twenties is when I started to notice it was gettin' a bit more painful than it was just a few years earlier.

 

[Wrangler-Rick]

Wait?! Since when has there been a yeti at EE?!?!?!

I've been told there is one, but I am blinded by the strobe light and can't see it!

 

[donaldtoo]

Slurp. Dear Lord, I hope those owners spring for a gym at work.

There were plans to put gyms in each of the two new buildings we were gonna' build and move into down the road from this one just before everything tanked. Things are hummin' along nicely again, so we'll see how it all plays out this time around...

 

[JenniferS]

Elvis did it.

I always blame CNN and a slow news week.

Who killed Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman?

Clearly not OJ - the glove did not fit.
So, who else benefits? CNN.

I loved Petticoat Junction. I so wanted to ride that elevator and swim in the Water Tower. I can only imagine how many shopping hours would be shaved off if I did my shopping at Sam Druckers.

Actually my DD name was inspired from Petticoat Junction.

I liked all of these shows too. Lots of laughing. My folks in that era favorite show was Archie Bunker, All in the Family. Folks Being of that generation prior to Civil Rights I think it taught through humor tolerance. I was too young to fully grasp the meaning of the episodes but I did remember the one where the cross dresser was murdered. One of the few episodes that didn't work itself out in a nice neat package of laughter. Every night when I was growing up there were 2 hours of family shows that parents didn't have to worry about their kids watching. Nothing dicey came on until 9pm cdt. Simpler times.

Oh yea, All in the Family was very popular at our house, too, especially with my pop. We lived in Northern California at the time, and times they were a changin'. And, I agree about the tolerance through humor aspect. I actually understood quite a bit about what was goin' on with the show. Archie was never portrayed as any type of role model to aspire to, until maybe later when even he too started to change.
And again, as I've posted before, we watched The Jefferson's, Good Times, etc., all the same.

Cute about DDs name.

And yes, I too still kinda' long for a bit of those simpler times when most TV was indeed, truly, family friendly.
Some of the stuff that the supposed "ABC Family" airs these days just blows my mind.

I tried a soft-shelled crab, many years ago. I was confused as to how to eat it; I couldn't figure out how to get the meat out of the shell, and I ended up leaving the whole thing untouched on the plate. Someone suggested to me that you actually eat the shell? So, I was afraid I'd choke on a piece of shell. Never had one since that time. I must be missing something in translation here; do people really eat the shells? Eek . . .

Yep, the whole thing. Some people like to kinda' pick through 'em, but, most of us just eat it all...!!!
