Renai Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 It's funny that you still feel the need to lie about this today. That's not nice. It really was the baby. Once, she was 4 years old, we were in a crowded post office when she let out a big one. Everyone turned around. Even the post guy gave her a sticker or something because he said it was the best one he'd heard in a long time. I didn't even remember this story until she reminded me of it as I was reading the farting part of the thread to her. So there! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 22. Woohoo! That had to be the best batch of shameful post padding I've seen in a long time. I'm so proud. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Not for me. I WILL live to be in my 80's (at LEAST). I am going to determinedly take after my Dad's side of the family in this, and not my Mom's. Mom died at age 66 (much much much too soon), and her mother died at age 67. If I can I'll get on Smucker's/Willard Scott's postings of centenarians -- hopefully for multiple years. That's what I tell my dh. My mom's side is the longer living though. My great grandmother on my mother's father's side was 96 (officially) when she passed away. Her body couldn't hold on after a surgery. I say officially because the SSN office has her birthday as 1902. As I was searching the genealogy, I happened to come across her and her family on the 1900 census. She was already 1-2 years old. So, she was actually possibly 100 when she passed. My grandmother was surprised to hear that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, his dad was the only big shot lawyer in town. The perpetrator (love that word) wasn't allowed to say anything. No lawyers would take our case anyway, out of fear of retribution.

Raining Pineapples Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I had lice growing up and we were poor. My mom put aloe in my hair for a week because lice are super picky and prefer clean hair. I'm not saying don't treat it, but keep the dirty hair thing in mind. We are trying for dirty hair. Then they can't attach their eggs. There's not much my daughter prefers over wallowing in mud, then not washing it off. Broke her heart when I told her the rest of her was getting cleaned. I plan to die at 74. Don't do it. This thread will still be going strong then. We need you!! I've never learned to drive. Sometimes when people are nasty about the fact that I don't drive (you'd be surprised how often this happens!) we tell them that we don't believe that women should drive. They don't really know how to respond at that point. :lol: You have no idea. I have a really unpleasant story (stop reading if you're eating) involving my grandmothers legs getting stuck to the fake leather in her car and a bunch of her skin peeling off. She wrapped herself in toilet paper and drove to the doctor just bleeding everywhere. All of those situations scarred me when I was really young and I associate them with old age. I know it's wrong, but knowing something in your head and believing it in your heart are two different things. Ouch! My last remaining grandmother is 95. She's been telling me that getting old is horrible for the last 23 years. In those 2 decades she's beaten lung cancer, watched most of her friends die, where was I going with this??? Oh yeah, she's gotten remarried to a great man, met and spent time getting to know all of her great-grandkids, been on several wonderful trips....and is the only sane person in our family. Getting old sucks ( and a lot of time is spent in the bathroom), but it's not all bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never folded that many loads at once. I generally have a rule that laundry must be folded hot from the dryer (that's how I avoid ironing). Of course, that sometimes results in a couple extra fluffing cycles.

Slache Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi guys. I spent the morning applying for an apartment. If we get we'll go from a 2 bed 1 bath to a 3 bed 2 bath with a bigger kitchen and a much better layout. It's also within walking distance of a nature park I'd love to take the kids to everyday. Please keep your fingers crossed or pray or sacrifice kitten's. It's only $50 a month more and IT'S RENT CONTROLLED!! Our apartment has gone up $350 in the 4 years we've lived here! Anyway, how is everyone? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm good, juggling it all with one hand tied behind my back and rocking it. :D (Just a little bad story. My dad was rude the other day and he kind of took responsibility but I am still a little mad at him because he was REALLY rude. He is coming over in a bit, and I will be nice, though, because I am very nice.) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I like laundry too. I would love to convert the "eat-in" part of my kitchen into a bigger laundry area. For one, I'd rather do laundry than cook. For two, it would be better than my current system: washer and dryer in a hallway on the way to the bathroom, piles of dirty laundry all over the floor and stacks of clean laundry on the formal couch no one sits on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love a laundry/dressing room where everyone just grabs what's clean from their stack or shelves or whatever. But, then, that might be why I haven't aspired to titles of royalty as you have. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, I finally found the other cd put out by them - something about Oliver something-or-other. There was a song I remembered and I finally figured out the cd after googling. The song went, "stretching the truth, is telling a lie. Angels are honest that's why they can fly," or something like that. I'll be getting that cd next.
