Your right, of course, when my daughter turned eighteen she went straight out and go a tatoo on her thiegh then tried to hide it from me. I figured it out in about four days. She knows I don't have any and thought I'd be upset, told her I'd save that for when she wants the plates in her lips like the natives! MV
Anytime I ever did anything over the top behind my mom and dad's back, I always got caught...not because someone would rat me out, but because something odd would happen. I graduated high school in 1988, and my friends and I wanted to go to a concert in Nashville as our treat. I knew mom and dad would never let me go, let alone drive, so I made up a story, and piled 6 friends in my Buick Regal and headed off to Nashville. Got there early, so we decided we'd go downtown and meet up with some of their friends who I didn't know. Well, we ended up in some pretty seedy places...head shops to be exact! I had no idea what it was or where I was going. Finally made it out to the concert, and had a good time. On the way home, though, I had a blowout. How in the world was I going to explain to my dad why I was on the interstate at 2 in the morning with a flat tire?!?! Some angel of mercy stopped and helped us, but only far enough to get to a tire shop...that was closed until the next morning.
Then there was the time I snuck to Louisville to visit my best friend on the U of L campus, and got a parking ticket. I didn't pay it....they'll never find me...so I thought. The care was registered in dad's name, and a few months later, he got a notice in the mail about an unpaid ticket!! LOL! I took that as a sign that maybe I just needed to behave myself!

Oh my gosh...Johnny Angel...I have the song. I loved that song. I got to stay up until 8:30 on whatever night it was on...so that I could watch "The Donna Reed" show. I still love Shelly Faberas (is that right?) Remember her on "Coach"? But, the origionaly "I Love Lucy" will always be favored. At 10:30 am every day in the summer, my friend, Nancy, who lived behind us...great to cut accross lawns and be at your friend's house, isn't it? anyway..Nancy and I would watch "I Love Lucy" reruns while her Mom ironed. I can still hear her Mom laughing.
Mickey Mouse club...oh, yes.
And, Katie, I am having a "first 45 crisis" now...Here's the thing. I was certain that "Kind of a Drag" was the first 45 I bought. But, I somehow recall a song by Jan and Dean...and that would make whatever the song that Jan and Dean sang actually the first song I ever purchased...$1.09. And, I pride myself on a good memory. I will have to do some research. Nice to take a break from hormone research I guess...although I like that, too!
My youngest daughter just turned 18 Thanksgiving day. Her sister is in 2nd year of college. The big sister in college promised to get the little sister a tatoo for her birthday. They were being all secretive. I heard it from my coast guard son out in alaska thru what else but EMAIL ah hah then my son in Korea (army) he shared the news. Pow I busted up the little tattoo ritual. Just because I could!!!! LOL Yes they are of age but it just felt good to know I have not lost my (columbo mama detective skills) I love them no less and no more. I am certain there will be some tatoos somewhere on their teeny tiny little bodies. I just finished my egg nogg. I am done
Ok, i can't tell if this is still going on, or if everyone has left for the night - what time is it????
Ileft the party tybear but I came back. Rock on!
I must admit, I never snuck out of our house!! My Dad always knew what we did BEFORE we ever got home. I was way to scared of getting caught.
PS yes, Gail, I sent it to your hotmail account. I am just chatting with Shawn on messenger. I'll tell her to join us
Greetings and Salutations!
I've just returned from an entire day of shopping with the girls! I'm pooped!
Well sidle up to the cyber bar, whzat'll it be? Margarita anyone? MV
You guys are such a hoot tonight, I just loved reading all the posts!!! "Thrills" gum, well for Pete's sake, I haven't thought of those in ages... didn't it taste lousy??!! I can't believe it ever sold in the first place!
We are painting the entire house (not much else to do when it is this cold) so I have been TAPING like a good little elf helper. But we are packing it in now....til tomorrow anyway!!
Kathy/Toadster, your Elvis story, that's just hilarious!
I got on an elevator in downtown Calgary with Mick Jagger a few years ago!!! He is SKINNY!! After he left, everyone looked at each other and said... "Was that.....????!!!!" and then we all laughed!!!
Margarita on the rocks with salt! The salt helps me maintain my water weight! LOL
I'd love to join you all for a drink, but in the last 24hrs, I've spent 15 of them in emerg - Damn Kidneys!!!! Looks like, despite having these stents in place, my kidneys are getting worse. Was hooked up to anti-biotics for a while to blast away a possible infection - my blood counts are at rock bottom. I can't believe I have to worry about all this **** again?!!! Have a great big caesar for me, a little spicy please - someone out there must like them....
I thought Shelly Fabares was just the coolest! Do you remember her beautiful hair? Isn't she married to the actor from MASH, Mike Whatsface? Did you love Bye Bye Birdie???!!!! And "I Love Lucy". OH JUST THE BEST!!! I used to watch that at the neighbor's house in colour too!
LOL Shawn! I chose Kasie's brownies to help me maintain mine....but not so sure it's water weight!
How are you feeling, other than pooped from shopping? Sounds like you had a fun day, though!
Gail
Oh no, that sounds awful. I'm sorry you are suffering so much. So, I'll have an extra drink or two in your honor.
Shawn
That's terrible! I was wondering how you were. I'll be happy to have your Caesar in your stead, but remember I'll make you one strong one when you are all better!
Love you,
Katie
You ladies are so funny. I feel a little green around the gills because I do not know some of the stuff you are talking about. Do you all remember the rumor about how if you eat pop rocks and drink soda that your stomach would explode? Maybe that is why I have had so many gyno problems. LOL
Sweet dreams everyone this old lady hasn't been sleeping too well lately so Doc ordered sleeping pills It will probably knock me out for days. tybear I left you a site to search on trials from Mayo very good reading Night all Marty
Thanks I did. A couple of girlfriends came over and took me out. We had such a good time and I feel better emotionally now. I'm getting back into the holiday spirit. I saw my brother today too and he's doing much better....I'm very happy about that!
Nite Marty, I hope the sleeping pills do the trick for you. Sweet dreams!!
Good night simplystar. The chili was awesome and thanks for going out and getting sour cream.
I loved Dean Martin and jerry Lewis they were hilarious. Dean can sing to me anytime. Thats AMORE good night simply star
Oh my Tybear I am sorry to hear about your night in the ER. I hope you get to feeling better.
Ok....dilemma solved. "I Found a Girl"...by Jan and Dean. Oh my. Memories. But, I am standing by "Kind of a Drag" by The Buckinghams...yes, thanks Katie! as the first. I know you all will sleep better now.
And, Yes, Shelley and Mike Farrel (Thanks, Jed)....
I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I can not begin to understand how frusterated and scared you are. Just always remember that you have us to cry with or to scream with. We are here for you!! Kasie
Good night Marty! Pop Rocks, that reminds of a new Turkey recipe I want to try...
Here is a turkey recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing - imagine that. When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.
BAKED STUFFED TURKEY
6-7 lb. Turkey
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is
good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE
REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste
______________________________
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush turkey well with melted butter salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven. Listen for the popping sounds. When the turkey's ass blows the oven door open and the turkey flies across the room, it's done. Now, wasn't that easy? MV
