You know you’re from the Gulf Coast when:
21. There is a roll of tar paper in your garage.
This is so true. My family lived in Robertsdale, Al (15 min from the gulf) for 5 years when I was a kid and we had a roll in my mother’s laundry room.

I hear you, Jasmine! It’s the exact same way with me.
Glad to hear it isn’t only me. 😆
Nope it’s not only you I’m exactly the same. I also tend to clean when I’m extremely angry. If the house is spotless Ed knows I’ve had a bad day and to leave me be.

Don’t know if this one’s new or not but I love it.
SCHOOL ANSWERING MACHINE
(This is hilarious – no wonder some people were offended!) This is the
message that the Pacific Palisades High School(California) staff voted
unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine.
This is the actual answering machine message for the school.
This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and
parents to be responsible for their children’s absences and missing
homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their
children’s failing grades changed to passing grades – even though
those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not
complete enough schoolwork to pass their classes.
The message:“Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school.
In order to assist you in connecting to the right staff member, please
listen to all the options before making a selection:
* To lie about why your child is absent – Press 1
* To make excuses for why your child did not do his work- Press 2
* To complain about what we do – Press 3
* To swear at staff members – Press 4
* To ask why you didn’t get information that was already enclosed in your
newsletter and several flyers mailed to you – Press 5
* If you want us to raise your child – Press 6
* If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone -Press 7
* To request another teacher, for the third time this year – 8
* To complain about bus transportation – Press 9
* To complain about school lunches – Press 0
* If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable
and responsible for his/her own behavior, class work,
homework and that it’s not the teachers’ fault for your child’s lack of
effort:
Hang up and have a nice day!
If you can read this – thank a teacher! if you are reading it in English –
thank a veteran!Wow! I don’t blame ya for being cautious about driving there again. I emailed my dad, he’s a mechanic, to see if he’d know anything that could do that and am waitin for a reply.
😆 Read this about 5 minutes ago and can finally breathe again without ribs hurting. My cousin did that with a shock collar. He figured it couldn’t be that bad of a shock, so he put in on himself, turned it all the way up, and hit the button. Needless to say it never went on his mother’s dog (a cocker spaniel/ mini poodle mix that NEVER shuts up). Is it just a guy thing that they have to ‘feel’ to believe?

twindragonsmum 😀
Please don’t send the snow east. My pellet stove decided to break yesterday and I’m hoping the repair guy can fix it when he comes today. ‘Til then I hope any snow holds off, it’s sure been cold enough for it though, lower 30’s at night.

I have a friend who swears that one of these days she is going to replace her kitchen appliances with vending machines. She Hates to cook 😆
I actually like to cook, it’s just that nobody trusts me. If I let it slip I’m cooking dinner everyone calls the next day to make sure we’re still alive. 🙄
I know all about the temper tantrums, Ed’s brother is 22 and at the last family dinner (for his sister’s graduation) he threw a fit cuz it wasn’t about him. 🙄 His parents spoiled him as a kid and would always let him get his way…they still do!
That’s great news about the job though, his loss your gain. And The Three Musketeers no less, I love that one!

As my uncle (who’s an engineer by the way) should have figured out when he tried to barbecue in a glass top barbecue in the winter…. *shatter* 😆 You think he’d have known better, being an engineer and all… 🙄
Speaking as someone who has a brother who is and engineer…… They’re good at book smarts and obscure things but practicallity is sort of… well.. not high on their list of skills! 😛 I had to teach my brother how to make soup, you know, the kind that go ‘pop tab, place contents in bowl, microwave till warm’

It’s soo not fair that you have to go through that one right on top of the other. 😥 🙁 😥 At least Claire knows how much you love her. My last cat died 3 days after Christmas while I was away visiting relatives. My parents had to call and tell me. 😥 It was a horrible holiday.
Wow! Other than the call about oweing money for the accident it seems like the *flood* was the most exciting thing that happened today. Adaneth is right, it is priceless cuz atleast you can laugh about it.
