those of you who have had no UFO sitings have just had your memories altered! LOL!!! Except the one with the lady who "exercised" her child in a harness. She was really an alien.

I'm sorry. I'm glad you shared with

Wish my DIL had shared my g-child
with me like she did with her mother. GD now in college and wonders why I am not in her life so much. Lives close by but I was always bypassed for her other gmother. I guess being paternal gmother just does not count much. I just finally stopped trying to be there.
My mother never shared anything
with me and neither did my dad. We never heard about sex, drugs, alcohol or anything that they might have tried or did during their younger years. It was like having parents who did no wrong and it was unrealistic and somewhat annoying to me growing up. My parents were fairly strict parents. So I basically took the understanding that my parents didn't understand because they never did anything. So I did it anyway. I drank alcohol at the age of 15. Tried cigarettes around that time as well. Started having sex when I was 15.
I look at this way. If my parents had shared these things with me, maybe I still would have done what I did....who knows.....but because they never shared anything with me about their life.....I couldn't go to them with what I was experiencing because they portrayed that they never did anything and if that was true....they wouldn't understand. Them telling me may not have stopped me but I think it would have made me go to them more instead of doing it all behind their back and hoping and praying it would all turn out okay and I wouldn't get caught.
I have two boys. The oldest one isn't mine but he stays here a lot. His mother doesn't want him to know anything about her past and that is fine....whatever. To each his own. My stepson has asked me questions about my past and I've answered general questions. He knows I had premarital sex. I didn't tell him I was 15 or how many partners I've had, but I just told him that I didn't wait.
You shouldn't share with your kids every single detail but it doesn't hurt for them to know that you were once their age and you screwed up as well and so you know what you are talking about and that you understand.
The bottom line is this....whether you tell your children or not.....our children ultimately make these choices about sex, drugs, and alcohol. We can guide them and teach them right from wrong, but they still ultimately decide for themselves.
I think your perspective on things is shared
POLITICAL CONTENT REMOVED BY ADMINISTRATOR (Please post political content on the Politics board.)
Yes, the news IS unreal. They throw us headlines night after night but never tell us later how it all turned out. So it seems less and less real, the less truth we get, and the more Britney, etc. we are forced to hear about. You're right - it's hard to just go about life as if everything were normal, when lately the world seems like it's anything but. Sometimes just watching the news every day can be too much. After 9/11 I got 'addicted' to the news, couldn't turn it off, but after a while I just couldn't stand watching those buildings fall over and over, night after night, and I was getting depressed. So I decided to temporarily quit the TV news 'cold turkey' for 2 weeks. Sometimes that can be amazingly refreshing!
I'm glad you shared. I'm tearing up too. You sound like a

That was a very good post. I wish more people shared your opinion-

You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories
Just kinda tired of my house looking like Sanford and Son - LOL!
That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

Funny looking Bob with the funny looking wife
Thats funny!! Thanx

too funny !!!
It's funny that you say this...
about "sounding rude". I wonder how much time your in laws and family members actually put into their decision before asking you to care for their mother? I wonder if it has even occurred to them that they are being rude to even consider asking this of you when there are professionals who can do this and should do this for their mother?
Believe me, you have no idea how much of yourself you actually lose when thrown into a situation that's convenient for everyone else. Believe me, everyone else has figured out how to say "no" by passing the responsibility on to you so that they can continue their lives without being inconvenienced.
However, you're right in being polite; however, you can still say "no" and not be rude. Don't feel guilty either for not playing the martyr.
This is so funny!!! LOL!!
I have an 18-year-old son who LOVES to be on the computer doing the instant message thing. He knows all the lingo, codes, blah blah blah. Well, he is not used to the Short Hand being on on my computer, but sometimes he uses my computer when I am not working. Can you see where I am going with this?
Anyway, he (and probably a dozen other of his buddies) were instant messaging each other on line. So my son needs to go do something and he just typed BRB for "be right back." He jumped up and did not see this expand to BRIGHT RED BLOOD.
LOLOL. Frantically, word travelled through cyberspace that something must have happened because he just typed in bright red blood and left. When he finally went back to his screen he had all these worried messages...are you all right? what happened??? are you alive???
I got the best laugh out of that! He had to explain to everyone who had "heard" just what had happened and now he is much more careful.
How funny - if he
had put that in on my computer it would be "bright red blood per rectum" Not a great idea!
Oh, that's funny!
That must be the game system that I have heard talked about and someone laughingly said that this game would actually give you carpal tunnel, pulled muscles, etc.

Funny...

How funny!
Gave me a good laugh, which I needed! Thanks.
Funny too how you can think that you like
they have made here, and then all of the sudden realize they are not as nice as they seem by other posts that they make.
funny
Born and bred Texas, but never heard that before - i'm trying to figure out if it could be a compliment ???
This is funny because.....
I grew up with these sayings and use these all the time in my everyday talking without thinking about it. Hubby comes to me all the time when things he hears at work asking me what does this mean, such as "buying a pig in a poke", "don’t look a gift horse in the mouth", "leaving someone high and dry", so many, so little time.....I throw these around because where I came from everyone knows what they mean and we think nothing about using them. Bless his little short self he doesn’t know and I laugh when he tells me to speak "English."
LOL! Too funny . . .
When I told my son (after a couple of years of him questioning it because peers had already told him), he said, "The thing that made it most believable is that we never have a lot of money, but there is always so much cool stuff on Christmas morning!"
Too funny! >^..^<
My funny
One of my ESL doctors said the patient's lower extremities have disappeared. LOL.
That is too funny!
that was funny!...nm

and that would be me...*how funny*....s/m
 And I'm a woman of my word - I never steer people wrong, rarely give unsolicited advice, and let me state it was fun emailing with you today!! *giggling*......Nice to put the people with their posts...*lol* I never put a name in but you know my name as I do yours now.
*too funny* 
Have a GREAT evening :)
OMG! That's too funny!
She's so adorable though I think I can overlook it!
Funny you should say that (sm)
We were watching the news while eating breakfast this morning and they had bad reviews of Premonition, and I told DH, "Well if they don't like it, I'll probably love it". That's what usually happens.
That is too funny, and just to think my
hubby told me just today he had to give colas up, hmmm..
Funny, my mom too!
And I have used everything else you can think of, now 40-something, and my skin looks like crap :( Gonna get me some of that miracle potion too!
That's so funny! sm
The strange thing is, I've seen adult birds (I don't know what kind, but they aren't very big - not crows or anything) harrass the cats far more than the other way around. The birds will dive-bomb the cats if they dare to walk out in the open, and the cats just duck their head down and run to get away.
I've always wondered why the cats put up with it, why they don't just stand their ground and swat at the bird. I think the birds must be protecting a nest to be this bold. I've seen them dive-bomb our dogs too. It seems there is always one bird who will "stand watch" and become very vocal if anyone (us, dogs, cats) go into the yard. I halfway expect them to dive-bomb me one of these days. They aren't foolin' around!
that's really FUNNY!!! ..........s/m
I don't know how that would happen...unless Diana is *padding* her age.
All I can say is I was at the Brooklyn Fox Theater with my older sister MANY times standing outside waiting to see shows with Little Anthony and the Imperials, Otis Redding, Martha and the Vandellas, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles, the Shirelles, and many many other groups when I was 12. I also saw similar groups at the Apollo Theater in Harlem when my school took us all there when I was 16, was the last time I/we ever saw Otis Redding unfortunately. The Tymes and the Shirelles came to my high school for the graduation/prom events to perform.
Diana Ross and the Supremes...I cannot remember if they were there at the Brooklyn Fox theater....they were not at the Apollo when I was there, but I loved the Supremes songs...I was such a Motown person, still love that era of music/songs.
fun reminiscing.....
lol, funny!

seems funny to me....
Jay Leno is one to make fun. He looks like the moon face on the old Mac tonight McDonald commercials.
LOL that is so funny- I used to think
that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys and that they would get married (yes, married) and have mixed litters of both. I can't remember where I got that idea, though.
You funny.
Not freaky.
How funny!
I found him creepy when he was younger and grinned too much, but now I find him cute.
But Brad Pitt annoys me because of the characters he's played (so immature). And for the longest time I saw him as a Robert Redford clone, physically. How is it they never played father and son?
How funny
I don't purposely watch cooking shows, but some channel has a cooking guy that comes on and annoys me to death. His voice is higher than mine; he sounds like Mickey Mouse.
Oh, how funny!
I may have a warped sense of humor, but this thread on Alli is making me laugh! Thanks for sharing this, Apple Scruff - got a great visual!
LOL! That was funny.

hah! thats funny!!
(the icon)
i was beginning to feel all alone out here, so am glad to see at least a couple of you wouldn't waste their time watching something created by the sicko MM.
Too funny - sm
I am usually the quiet one too. Other peoples kids are in and out of my house all the time but the difference is, these kids actually respect our household rules.
Sure, sometimes the kids get a little loud but they are kids. If I have to warn anyone it's usually with the "mama eye." They get it and pipe down afterwards.
This kid and her mother are truly something of an entirely different beast. Neither one has any manners and act as if everyone around them should be their personal servant.
Good luck with yours. I guess I reached my boiling point today. I have let things slide with them for a long time and today was the last straw.
That's funny,
I live in PA also. You would just go and pay at the door, I am not sure what they charge since I exhibit and never paid as a spectator. The one next weekend is in Somerset NJ, at the Garden State Exhibit Center. I am looking forward to it.
Too Funny! nm
!
U R 2 funny!
lol, funny.

That's funny because we were saying
last week how it was the first time we had seen so many out of state cars all summer! It looks like everyone picked the same week to come here.
Too funny! sm
Need to remember that for when my mother-in-law dies. She swears she states in her will to bury her money with her. LOL! Monopoly money maybe?
OMG, that is too funny!!
Talk about creative writing. Too cute.
You know what would be really funny ...
would be to bring a handsome older single (or willing to pretend to be) man along with you, saying it was your dad, a widower.
Just watch how nice the mean biddies would be to you in front of him, and then probably continue to be, never knowing when you might bring him again!
