I bet you said that with a really raspy voice and then shouted "Jen!" immediately after :lol: 1 billion points for whoever gets that reference. (We haven't had points in a while.)

:grouphug: Coffee will help.

She may not remember your name, but I bet that story will always be told with reverence for you as guardian angel:)

That is funny. My dad made me open up his Iroc-Z on back roads... And proceeded to create a monster lol. I still feel the need for speed, which I *really* have to curb with Mario and Andretti in the car;)

Many, many likes to the sexy grandma with the sparkling house lol. I will let them put handprints on the patio doors though, and leave them there so it can remind me of them when they are away:) That is what my MIL did when my guys were teeny and, even though she and I are *very* different, that was one of the sweetest things to me. I flew the coop this am because my SIL is with the ILs. Went for a walk in the beautiful sun. It's hot, but breezy. Ended up in town for COFFEE https://www.evernote.com/shard/s168/sh/d9f371e3-6972-4d28-99ea-d0b3518f3cea/2be40c9a15d9fd149a6f064876041a63 I can't see what page we are on on my phone... did I miss 1974.

Can you hear me singing? "Aaat laaast..." dun da dun I was just google stalking it a couple of days ago and came up empty handed. Thanks for the heads up!

I really hope I don't miss 1974 while I am sleeping. I will :crying:

Hugs girlfriend. You are beautiful, loving, funny and kind. Tasty food is the devil. As is cleaning. And carbs. Don't feel like you did bad and need to get back on the bandwagon. Just slowly start doing it well again and it will get better:) And keep a jar of garlic stuffed green olives in the frig. They take the edge off of a carb craving like nobody's business lol.

Thanks on both counts:) 68 years is definitely a score!

That is so funny that you said that. We were just sitting here talking and came up with a modified plan that accounts for that lol. I will share tomorrow. I think I need some tea :lol:

It is a HUGE jump. I almost choked when I got a whiff of our differential coming up next year. We are going to try to find a beater because there ain't NO way speedy Gonzales is going to be driving either of our vehicles, lol. But, it doesn't even matter. It is still a lot of $. I get why parents put it off and they are very justified in making the decision. I have just been surprised at the trend for the *kids* to not want to get it. It isn't even apathy, it is almost antipathy to the idea. And it seems like there is a maturity issue attached to it with most of the people I know. But that is an uber tiny sample size. I am sure there are many reasons. Different strokes and all.

Good to know. I have been out for a while dealing with IL stuff. No need to court trouble, lol.

Hmmm. That is a good point. That makes it seem open for the future, which barring some personality conversation on his part, is not likely. You have much wisdom, my friend:)

Rico is en route with some Rocky Road for the pretty lady with no red marker!

Awesome! Well, not the not running part, but the rest of it. Well, maybe not the idea of Mr Krissi drooling either, but everything else;) It was a really fun car. But, man, I had to parallel park that beast for my driver's test. No pressure there!

Sorry to drag the drama into our happy place. I think I am going to avoid the seas with this one, even though I had been inclined to see if anyone had any ideas that would let me justify not dealing with this at all :lol: But, I have a feeling it would not go well. However, I did my part to get us a little closer to 1974... because 1974 is magical.

Oh no! Poor little thing. Just pull her aside and tell her that she now has an awesome story for dinner party conversations when she grows up. Lol.

:lol: That definitely makes a difference. If she does decide that it is worth losing our friendship, I will be clear that that would make me sad, but it is *her* choice. And yes, the non-emotional part has me a bit worried, but not for the obvious reasons, lol. If someone comes at me with emotional weaponry, lol, I tend to go hard shell pretty quickly and have a very hard time softening up again. The challenge for me will be to honor her emotional side. I am not cold to her, but it could look that way if I am not careful.

Exactly!! That is what I was thinking too. He has already lied about so many people and situations. Grr.

I noticed that:) But you are right. Most things get the glass half full treatment with me. But there are some things that can only be called what they are... a glass full to the brim with sewer water.

Thanks, all of y'all:) Your love is giving me strength. Deleted for privacy

I used to drive blue Celica too:) It was one of my favorite cars. But not in high school. That was the black 77 Grand Prix. Oh yeah... https://goo.gl/images/9KutfS

Wow. That is no fun. We don't have that restriction here. There are limits to how many kids can be in the car, but they can drive friends.

I think that is the worst of it. There is really no part of this that will end well. But God can take any garbage and turn it to gold, so there's that:)
