Where in the World is Bob Saget?

My daughter won't drink pulp so I bought her the pulp free. She still insists there is pulp. I swear that girl would lose sleep over a pea under her mattress.

Another kind of pulp fiction...?

Thank God you were not seriously hurt; this could have easily gone the other way for you. If you can't get enough assistance from others to do a project, it's best to wait until you can. The statistics are staggering, of injured people who end up in hospital emergency departments, because they were attempting to do outdoor home improvement projects—and something goes unexpectedly wrong—FAST. Maybe take some Advil tonight, because you may be sore in the morning if you don't.

Again, we're all relieved that our favorite Canadian Sagateer will be o.k.

Thank you. You are so sweet.
Unfortunately for me sometimes, I think I am invincible and capable of all.

Sadly, pot smoking is not technically illegal in Canada, but a$$-whooping is.
Go figure.

And until you finally put your foot down and stand firm (and don't be an enabler), they'll use this excuse against you to do what they want.

 

[JenniferS]

Pot smoking may not be illegal but that doesn't mean that you have to allow it under your roof.

I don't. I go berzerk.
Mostly he goes outside. This is the BS "compromise" I made with his drug counsellor.

I often wondered why we had all that Tang in the cupboards...

I read a funny report (from 2013) about the 2nd man to land on the moon, Apollo 11 astronaut, Buzz Aldrin. So the reporter asked Buzz what he thought about Tang, and Buzz said, "Tang sucks."

The youngest of the 3 I used to take care of was like that. I had to pour her "Pulp-free" juice through a tea strainer before she would drink it.

I actually prefer the pulpy stuff.

Whoa....his drug counselor struck a deal with you so that he can smoke pot? Is this drug counselor teaching him how to get stoned or how to get sober?

 

[donaldtoo]

I used to use this stuff, 'cept back then it was just called Yogurt and Honey.
Seriously people, is there not a bandwagon onto which you will not hop?

Their answer is...
"In the name of the Almighty Dollar, NO!"

In my younger days, spending my summers in Canada with my cousins got me into smoking pot for a bit. Luckily, I quit that long ago.

The whole point of this 1 1/2 year joke was to "de-escalate" his use, prevent him from moving to harder drugs, and supposedly bring peace and harmony to the family, so that we're not constantly fighting over what we can't change.

And then Hubby said, "Yeah or maybe I just kick him in the a$$". For which he got chastised by the counsellor.

Like I said - BS.

OK...I think I finally understand a little of what you're going through.

Better to put up with a little misbehavior than to lose him altogether.

Much easier said than done.

Don't forget your light saber.

Good for you, especially with young ones in your house.

Only when you were 22?

Some things never change.

Sending our rainshowers your way.

Thanks for that, LOL

Already?

ahem, doesnt the coffee cut any benefit from the naked juice?

I don't drink fancy coffees...at least not often. I either like straight espresso shots, espresso over ice, or black coffee...or black but with a touch of cream. No sugar.

I very rarely add sugar to anything. So no, not entirely unhealthy.

I am so P.O.'d.
(A lot of my posts seem to start that way recently.)

Hubby and I bought a deck chest/box/storage thingy to store the patio furniture cushions. I put that together, no prob.

Then I started on the pergola. I did as much as I could on my own, then asked the boys to come help me. I needed their strength and their height. The youngest one was higher than a kite, and wouldn't help unless I paid him, and the oldest one was locked in the bathroom for one of his twice daily hour-long whatevers.

Anyway, the cleaning lady came out and helped me get it square and partially assembled. I was literally standing on a step stool, perched on top of an Adirondack chair. Long story short, after she went in, while I was tightening screws, it fell over on me. (No, I was not precariously perched at the time.) The whole thing literally collapsed on top of me. I was trapped underneath calling for help. Sadly the a.c. is on and nobody heard me. I finally managed to climb out from beneath. The whole thing is in a massive pile on the deck. Eventually, I will have to go out there and take it apart, assess the damage, and wait for Hubby to help me on Friday.

In the meantime, I have a bit of a head-ache and I hurt my thumb. On the plus side, I only got conked on the head with one small edge, and not the full 300 lb weight of it.

But, I. Am. ed!

First, I'm very glad that you're ok because you could have been really hurt and no one would have noticed for a while! secondly, those two need bootcamp. And a firm kick in the .

This will disappear off the shelves as soon as somebody decides to eat it and then sues Dial..

Those boys need a good old fashion Southern as$ whoopin' to teach them some R.E.S.P.E.C.T.

Yes, this! A southern beating and some manner lessons.

And yes to the yogurt soap as well! I give it a few weeks!

Just had an amusing thought: what if they all DID notice, but misinterpreted your "style"? (They might be all whispering to each other when you're out of sight, "Have you seen what she has on today?! And, what about that get-up she had on the other day?!" (Sounds to me that they all really need someone like you, to liven up that place.)

There's a good chance this is happening, but still. They know I'm a disney junkie and they like the movies because of their kids. A few vacation there, often. Maybe they are too dense to get it, or maybe they're talking about me, lol I really don't care either way. Someone has to have a little life left in them!
