1. Only if they insist on going out to eat.
Otherwise, no.

2. Right.
Good solid iron bars are too pricey. Especially when you can duct tape 'em to the walls and turn the hose on 'em when they get mouthy.

10. Actually, the older they get, I find I have to use the power washer.
More pressure you know. And, the bonus is a sparkling clean house!!!

17. Did you see the thread where she made Captain of the
Varsity Field Hockey team? And, she's only a junior. Boast. Boast. Boast.


(however, in the interest of full disclosure, she is going to a brand new high school and there will not be a senior class this year)



But, still!!! She is SO excited.

18. Yes, I think I did.
I recall something about 'go Little Midlo' and there was a discussion of her keeping you in rich supply of boxed wines in your old age with her hefty Pro Sports Salaries, and possibly the sale of some fan merchandise.

matcom! - Step away from the bobblehead.

20. I really have to work on keeping her away from that man.
Although it does boost her ego.

When I posted her prom pic and everyone said she looked so pretty, it did wonders for her.

I don't know why she doesn't think she's cute...the 10yo thinks she rules the world.

6. Good idea
If nothing else puts them off alkerhol, the sight of inebriated 'adults' acting like the Three Stooges (but unfunny...I mean, even less funny) should do it. :D

You can pm me. I'd love to catch your act, and of course meet the ever elusive Forrest.
