I hate it when people post just to post.....

I would make it an obvious reaction to the DD---when I rolled up in my truck I would hold out my hand and tell her "WAIT!!! I cannot afford a 3rd window!" and roll them all down---right in front of Mom.

I did not tolerate my kids interupting, and they all do it from time to time----but they knew by the time they were 2-3 years old what the hand held up to them meant. And they shut up until there was a break.

Once years ago in this little town we live in, (please don't flame me for this~~~) our kids were I'd say 6,7 and 8. My friend and I left them in the car while we went in to return some movies. When they went in, they wanted more movies, so we left them in the car. Just as I was thanking the clerk and ready to leave here come my DD. She interupts with Mom! I held up my hand, she grabs it and bends it back down and yells, "that girl hit Aunt Becky's car!!!!" The hilarious part was, she did not speak without putting my hand down! A girl backed into the car, and was outside crying her eyes out, she had done the same thing 3 times before and was all of 16!!

It is a shame about your neighbor kid, she is not being done any favors. Our son and DIL were much that way with my grandson for a long time, and he was a little hellion. He would walk in and start grabbing, and nothing was done. So Granny got mean, and I took control. Something finally clicked, and they are watching him, and teaching him....finally thank heavens he has a baby brother due in 3 weeks! Now he is fun to have around, and not everyone groans wondering what is going to break this time! Think it is tough when it is your neighbor, let it be your grandson, no one understands!

Isn't changing her codes going to be an issue with the dogs?

IF and in my case that would be one helluva big IF!!! You want to mend fences with her, while still making a point---buy her a cheap set of pink sunglasses, tell her all drama queens need sunglasses to hide behind!!!

Good Luck~~ my DH would be livid over the windows too!!!

Tonight is seriously slow at work -I'm training a new RN and he is pretty self sufficient so I thought I would read back through this thread some (have periodically checked in over the last year) but in the last hour I have read the last 40 pages - crack my ass up - you all are seriously funny!

Lu - intrigued by the skydiving.

As a learning opportunity for us all let's review:

If you are stupid enough to drink and drive, wreck your car and wind up in a hospital - please realize that it is not ok to:

1) Steal an ambulance when you get discharged

2) Wreck the ambulance

3) Cry like a little baby when you wind up back in the hospital b/c the big bad police dog bites you up and down as you tried to escape.

I'm just saying!

ROFL!! I'd have been reaching for the extra big scary needles to sew him up after that little escapade... not to mention the 10" needle for the tetanus jab!

HUGE prayers, crossed fingers, and nekkid bonfire dances for ya.

[Fanny Adams 7]

Woot woot!! Can I come to the nekkid bonfire dance?

Heck, you're the reason we're having it! You'd BETTER be there!

[kcmagu 3]

Excuse my lack of knowledge in current/new terms - but I just found out there is an actual meaning supposedly to nekkid "something freaky going on"

but i guess basically whether you're naked dancing or nekkid dancing - the freaky is going on!

[Fanny Adams 7]

*gets her freak on*

At least the nekkid bonfire part was fun... coz the offer wasn't so much :sad:. He was a genuine buyer but couldn't come up any higher than $20K below my lowest price and I just can't go down lower - it would mean I couldn't buy and do the work I want to do at the next house, defeating the entire purpose of selling... The good news, however, is that there is another potential buyer who looked at the house twice on the weekend and is coming back tomorrow for another go... and apparently have already driven past and taken photos today. Sounds like they're keen, so fingers still crossed that they can find the asking price money...
