Ugh, Laura. I'm glad they got the van out without damage, but you must have been pretty worried at first. And give the kid a bop on the head for me. He should be so lucky to be going with his folks to a cool place. I didn't get to go on any of my folks camping trips until I was eleven. It was a sign of being gown up to me and I loved every minute of them.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Our wings are not tired.
I loved going to the lake for the summer when I was his age. It was like I was 2 different people with 2 different sets of friends and experiences. Summer romance ahoy! My take on it is that he feels he is being disloyal to his friends if he makes new friends some place else. I've been able to get him to play basketball but he hasn't really socialized with the ballplayers either.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Remember this post of mine on Friday? Aimée "Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?" Jul 20, 2007 2:04:48 pm PDT
I mentioned it to Boss and told him just how creepy this guy was. Boss was kind of suspicious of him because he's not our usual tenant at one of our properties, so he jokingly said, "Check the sex offender website".
I did and he's there. Convicted of 2nd degree Criminal Sexual Conduct (Person under 13) in 1997. That puts his age at time of conviction at 14, but still. Efffing eww.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trekkers here use llamas instead of four-wheelers or horses for multi-day hikes into fragile ecosystems. Llamas are dainty-footed and can carry a lot of stuff. They eat less, too. Plus, wool for spinning and weaving, if you're not allergic.
It's part of why the Inca never made much use of the wheel (despite what I'd been taught, they DID have them pre-columbus -- but it was easier to pack llamas than haul carts around.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Glad they got the van out, Laura. Sorry the boy's sulking. I loved making summer friends. I could reinvent myself--even if it was just for two weeks.
Aimee, a world of eeeewwwww. Good perv-dar you got there.
The McDonalds driver thru screwed us. Neither Happy Meal contained the chicken nuggets we ordered and I didn't discover it until we got home. I know better and should check but didn't think. Two hungry kids screaming for their NUGGETS. I was so mad, I called the restaurant. They took my name down and said they'd replace the order the next time we came in. Good thing my kids were satified with french fries.

I have called a local laptop repair shop to see if they will reattach my letter "Q" on the keyboard. I've left it too long. I managed to fix the "E", "A" and "U" myself but have been thwarted by the last letter.
I should also go to the gym today.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

He was born during my last year of college.
