Didn't so much break as seperated... Somehow turning it in the direction that seemed to be right was, in fact, wrong.

OH! I just noticed you were in green! All on my own, I noticed that after I read your post and looked at your name Iʻm very glad you are both ok. Those pictures are amazing! What an incredible body of water that changes color for each picture too! I hope with your next boat, MoneySuckr, you have no problems with your tutelage and your pulpit and your caddidilyarmpits and all. Use dental floss. Very strong.

I knew exactly what you meant, but figured there could only be ONE adult like that in all the world! And sorry, Yvan. I said we should invite you, but she said you had to be busy painting her new place or something. Plus, she wanted to stay up past curfew. But it was beautiful and somber. Until the coconut landed on vcatʻs head. Then it was just funny.

Actually, that is more fun and cost you less money!!! Remember, don't shower alone, it saves water.

Pshrynk, I'm so sorry about your boat but glad that you and your son came out of it relatively unscathed!

Grace, I found it easier to deal with 31 5th graders than my 2 kids at home, too! I would come home after a 10 hour day with a bag full of papers to grade and the first question anyone asked was, "What's for dinner?" No, "Hi, Mom" or "Hi, Incredibly Beautiful and Wonderful Woman Who Graciously Married Me (okay, I know that's a stretch, but I can dream can't I ". This was almost always followed by, "Mom, would you help me with my homework."

PBOb, The minute my kids graduated high school, they became nocturnal. They would have done it sooner, but I enforced a strict lights out rule since they had to leave for school at 7AM. Now that my daughter has graduated college and become a member of the working class, she has reverted to diurnal.

I wish we had plastic notes here.... if they won't drop the $1 bill, at least go to plastic and save US (U.S.) some money.

Wait... haven't I had this rant here before.... It's like de ja vu all over again!
