RN, I didn't know where else to post this, but I thought it was an amazing ad by Dove. Thought I'd share. BTW, you have to open the window up to full size to see it. http://www.thehumorarchives.com/joke/Modern_Beauty

RN I just trapped a HUGE ROACH under a big bottle of Tide. Crap. What do I do now? It's under there, I don't want to see it EVER AGAIN, but I don't know how to get to it without seeing it. I had planned to do laundry tomorrow, but with this new roach situation, I may have to buy another bottle of detergent... Dammit. I cannot wait to move out of this crackhouse apartment and into a house. Any suggestions? I have a 5 lb. bottle of Tide on a HUGE ROACH in the middle of my living room and no clue how to deal with it without seeing the ROACH again. Plus, I need the Tide to do laundry. Maybe if I scoot the bottle over toward the front door and force the nasty ROACH out the door, I can recover my Tide and remove the disgusting varmint from my apartment. Hmmm... Going to try that now. Will post results...

RN, Sweet!! The scooting process totally disintegrated the ROACH on the berber carpet and by the time I got to the front door, the thing was HISTORY!!! So no ROACH, Tide is all mine and life is good once again. But how the hell did that nasty thing get in here? Time to invest in some Combat disks....

Right Now, Justavice, next time you can just slide a piece of paper under the bottle and roach and clamp the paper tight to the bottle and take it all outside. If you were to hire an exterminator, she would come in and put borax around your house to get rid of the roaches. You can go to the laundry section of the grocery store and buy a box of 20 Mule Team Borax and treat your own place with it. Sprinkle some on the carpets, leave it on for a while and vacuum it up. Then put some around baseboards, in cracks, under the sink. Should do the trick. It works for both roaches and fleas.

RN We have pest control that comes once a month, every month because the building is always having problems with bugs. When I fist moved in there were tons of bugs, but I hadn't seen one in months until last night. Oh well. Thanks for the Borax info.

Right now, I just got bad from having blood work done. I'm not a fan of the needle going in AT ALL. I could watch the blood being taken out, but the needle going in hurt like a mother! Now my arm hurts to move. </whine>

RN, congrats to Ladytex's dd!! All my babies graduated already but I am raising my niece who will graduate in '09. Also RN, she is going to make family history today as the first member of our family who isn't too scared to dance in front of her entire school. She dances today at an assembly. I'm going to that assembly!

RN...Gosh I love kids...well sometimes...I was helping at school this morning when Raelynne's teacher asked me to go pick the little rugrats up from the library and walk them back to class. I walked into the library and was waiting for them to finish lining up...when a little girl in Raelynne's class looks up at me and says "Mrs. Raelynne's mom...you sure look pretty"...lol made my day

RN Scoots, you often feel like you're about to lose your own name when you're at school? I'm Dakota's mom mostly but one little boy calls me Mrs. Dakota (which just cracks me up, lol!)

RN I could handle mom. I hate hate hate Mrs. Last Name. I figure as long as kids are respectful in general they don't need to be so formal, especially when their parents are friends and we spend a lot of time together. It took me years to get the neighbor kids and their parents out of that and after several years of them calling me Sandy, within the last couple weeks they've reverted back to Mrs. Last name. I thought at first it was just the oldest one. He's been doing some serious yard work for us (he's digging out Darren's sprinkler trenches) and getting well paid for it and I thought that maybe cuz for a week or so he's considering it a business relationship. But then I noticed his younger sisters and brother doing the same thing....stop it!!

RN: I feel the same way WG. But at the school, they (the teachers and administration) want the kids to use Mrs. Last Name. Funny thing is though, is that with the kids we're really close to, in Raelynne's class (neighbors, etc.) call me Renee all the time at home, so it's really hard for them to not revert to that in the clasroom setting. One neighbor boy calls me Mrs. Renee at home, so that's what he calls me in class. I call him Mr. Cade. He calls my husband by his first name though, no "Mr." It's funny.
