RN..Whoah! I can't believe I ran across this today! I haven't thought about it since I was HS. It's a Nair commercial from the 80's. When they turn around, see the third dark haired girl in line? That was my best friend's older sister. She was 3 years older than us. In person she looked so skinny everybody thought she was sick. But it's funny how in her commercial she sorta looks normal. Believe me, everyone thought there was something wrong with her in real life because she was basically nothing but bones, but yet she still got the part in a major commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou9AabR6_1w

Right now my husband is a big, giant ass! He just sent me an email from work that only said, "I found you a friend." I should have known then not to look at the pic attached to it. It's a freaking snake! Said it was wandering around their cell at work when they got in this morning. Ugh, shiver, ugh! Told him I was going to beat him with one of the kids when he got home, don't think he was all that scared. They have yearly employee meetings about snakes and safe handling of snakes since they work out in the middle of freaking nowhere and they like to slither into the various buildings at the plant.

RN LOL Wargod!! That reminds me of the time when I was about 11 or so, my mom and dad came home from a party in the middle of the night and mom picked up a plastic package off the front step. She looked at it, then asked my dad what it was, and after looking at it closely dad said "it's a snake." I can still see my mother dancing around in the middle of the front lawn screaming her ass off. I had found the dried snake hanging over a fence and brought it home because, well, I wanted it. LOLOL.

RRN, lol GAL! That is so not funny, your poor mom, lol. I should be grateful that he doesn't find them and think they'd make great pets for the kids I guess.

RN Not a morning person, but will make an exception today! Hubby found our neighbour's (very cute!) pooch wandering around the garage, and brought her to me. I put our cat Scooty in the solarium to avoid any fur flying, and then he went to work. I Googled our neighbour's work number and she came and got her poochie, and we have a happy ending. Great way to start the day. (big smile)

RN that is good Mame that things worked out RN I am looking forward to a fun Saturday, my friends daughter who will be 40 on the 4th of July and has Downs Syndrome is coming to spend Saturday and Saturday night at my house. We are going to pack a picnic lunch and go to a place called Castle Island (it was a fort during the Revolutionary War)and we will find a nice shady spot near the playground and she will have a great time playing in the playground and we will have lunch and she will play some more then we will go back to my apartment relax for a while and then out to dinner we go and when we come back we will spend the evening watching Hannah Montana (Tracey's favorite show).

RN, I like those kinds of happy endings, Mame! Plus you got an adopted pooch for a little while. LOL - Is Scooty speaking to you RN? That sounds like a lovely plan, Dfennessey. And Wargod. Here you have a caring hubby who wants to introduce you to his "friends" and you treat him that way!

LOL Jimsky, yep Ms. Scooty is being quite affectionate at the moment. (She's usually more a 'playful' kitty than a cuddler.) So now I know what it takes for her to 'appreciate' her mom. (Paying attention to the neighbour's poochies.) LOL. ETA, not sure what that breed is called. Shitzypoo or something? LOL. VERY CUTE, that's for sure! ETA, War, while I hate bugs (crawlers or flyers), I don't mind snakes too much. I've had two HUGE snakes draped across my arms and shoulders twice in my life, once as a kid and once as an adult, of course both times with their handlers nearby! Somewhere I've got a pic of it, but I can't find it.

RN Mame I don't need to see a pic! Darren has one exactly like you described of him at their last snake meeting that he kindly emailed me at the time. Jimmer, pfft! He told me when he got home they had been moving pallets to clean. He grabbed the last one and dude he was working with said, "Darren, don't move." He knew why immediately so stood still while dude went to get a 5 gallon can and then they caught it. I never looked at the pic all that closely, turns out it was a rattlesnake! RN Dfennessey, that sounds like a wonderful weekend!

RN I'm just cooling my jets. Hot and humid outside and the girls, our three cats, are all racked out in various favorite sleeping locations. Lazy days of summer...well, almost summer.

RN War Castle Island is a great place to go on a hot day because it is surronded by water and there is alway a nice breeze. and it is full of history as well. Being a Bostonian I sometimes take it for granted this history that is in my backyard practically.

Right now, I'd like to gripe about working tirelessly to build someone up for years and then realizing that now, in their own mind, they're way too big for me. And watching them basically sh*t in my face. Yeah, that pisses me off. Thank you. The end.

RN, there there, Yankee. You are a powerful person. Get even. (or blow it off if you believe in karma and let karma take care of it)

I vote for the Karma. Always works for me. Working to get even backfires. What you put out into the world comes back to you. (does not help with the pissed off feeling right away, but is MUCH better later.)

RN Christy you sound like my husband. He's got the same attitude about Karma. I on the other hand, tend to wish all the Plagues of Egypt on folks who tick me off. (hangs head in shame)

RN I'm annoyed with "updates" to my computer programs that cause my computer to shut down, not work properly, or freeze when they are opened. It's not an "upgrade" if it almost breaks your computer. Getting a little tired of it.

RN I almost feel bad when I see folks posting in their Facebook status about missing their dads this weekend. RN I feel like I'm the only one on the planet where this day means absolutely diddly to me. RN the concept of a father, especially one who gives a damn his children ever even existed is about as foreign a concept to me as walking on the moon. RN, I'm wishing all my TVCH friends all the happy memories (past, long lost or present) as they celebrate their fathers despite my bah humbug attitude.

RN yeah I don't let that stuff get to me. Having a messed up dad sucks but it's the way the chips fall for some people (me included). I gave myself a free pass from dwelling on the injustice of it all a while ago.

RN, I get ya Nyheat. At least I didn't really have to deal with a messed up dad face-to-face. So I guess that makes me more fortunate than others. Mine just disappeared into the wind when my folks were divorced when I was 3 years old. So I grew up with no memory or anything of him. When I found his name listed in the Social Security Death Index a few years ago, it was basically the first concrete evidence I had that he had ever existed in the first place.
