Ha ha ha haaaaaa....gotta take a breath......hahahahahahahahah.....

Sure they are, yeah, right, uh huh...

Got three of them, 5 through 17.
Easier to raise?
I havent seen the bathroom walls in years, and try going shopping, anywhere...for anything, without buying clothes.

Ed, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do - besides, she isn't impressing other females...it is all for you men! [^] And you ARE impressed aren't you? At least, that is what you always tell us! [:X]

Then Ed, where do you go to the Bathroom?

Wait- nevermind.

[edblysard]

Mookie,
Impressed beyond all expectations...
Kevin, I can use the bathroom, at least part of it, the toilet, the shower and the sink, I just can't stay in there any lenght of time, or touch/move anything.

Nor can I leave anything in there, or store anything in the cupboards or medicine chest.

I have to weave through the panty hose and bras hanging from every towel rod and shower curtain rod, and the back of the door, and there isnt a square inch on the drainboard and countertop that isnt covered with girl stuff, from make up to make up remover, nail polish, feminine needs, hairspray, face creams, hand creams, foot creams, cream remover, tooth whiteing stuff, deorderant, perfumes, three different types of shampoo and conditioners, fake nails and nail kits, four hair dryers, two curling irons, and several items that I have no idea what they are, but I am sure if I moved them, the world would end, (they even have a thing in there to grind the bottom of their feet, how gross it that?) one whole drawer of different kinds of hair brushes and combs, and thats just the left side of the sink....
The best way to find the toilet is to look for the stack of ladies magazines on the tank.

And because my job involves getting pretty grubby, I am not allowed to wear my dirty clothes into the batroom after work, I might get some of "that railroad junk" on their pantyhose, so I have to strip off in the bedroom, grab a towel, and make a dash for it.

It really isnt funny when a five year old starts to chew you out because you got grease on the white panty hose she wanted to wear to school...

Almost make me want to buy a dog, just so there is another guy in the house.

You think living with ME is rough sometimes?
Try it four times over.[%-)]

Easier to raise?
Sure, if you can get them to move to another state...

quickly.I know how long it proper takes to stop a freight train and the things that can wrong when not properly stopped.

Ed.. Have you ever Tried Lying to thme and saying thats not Greese, it's a new Style-trend?

I do that all the time! It fails a rather good portion of those times.. but what the hell, it was worth a shot and it costs nothing to try

Oh Ed, trust me, We have every drug available on every colour market located in our Drub bag, which has now turned into something Garagntious, theres enough Cough mixture to keep india from Caughing, and theres enough Codene to knock a heard of elephants out until the apocolypse strikes. Now if it were up to me, i'd flu***he old drugs down the john so fast, the sptic tank would be called the sterile tank, but No. i'm not allowed. Old drugs are still good after the expiry date.. (good to kill if you ask me) My laundry is stricktly prohibited from the Washroom aswell, i'll get busted up if anyhting that belongs to me is found., however, there msut be a collection of 570 pairs of HER underware in the washroom, all which you need a magnifying glass to pick up, and some reason, there is always a need to buy more..

WTF, Are they freakin' disposable now?

(the F means Fudge kids)

And at 30 bucks a pop, you heard me, Thirty dollars for a 2 cent item, It kind of makes we want to do the screaming Ab-dabs right in the middle of the mall, because i know, for 30 bucks, someone is laughing somewhere at my Fiscally ineptness.

there are so many of her garments in the washroom, i have to play "kevin the train snow plow" and move them all out of my way.

I wish we had two washrooms, mine would be clean and clear and under control, and hers would be clutered up and pathetic looking.

I wonder how much of our personal lives i just revealed? Oh well.

Got one of each--you guys speak the truth. I need a Sherpa to help get through my 16 year old daughter's room, and needed another one before my 19 year old son went off to college--he was a Teen Court judge (JP court) when he was in HS, by the way, and boy did he see some real adolescent and parental acts of stupidity.

And there is definitely some shared responsibility here, although it's quite feasible the parents got fed a line of bull before the incident. The kids can get real stupid (in the guise of being sooooooo smart) even in spite of the fact that the parents raised them right.

But, hey, back to the subject at hand--here's a question for you, if anyone knows: just what exactly was the assignment for this "safety project" for health class, anyway??? There may be more harebrain here than meets the eye.........[D)]

I hope they got an F from that end.

Dougal and Doggy, if you're reading this, (and I'm singling you out just because I've seen your posts and know you have an interest in all things RR, and not for any other reason) both of you seem to be first class teens that stay out of trouble. There are likely a bunch more just like you out there reading this forum. Take this incident as a lesson in life. Sometimes the impulse to do something offbeat that seems on the surface to be good and useful (e.g., making a "safety film" about a train going into emergency) can be really strong--even adults get this bug sometimes. When it hits, and it will because it hits all of us at one time or another, sit back and THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THE RESULTS before you ever do anything. Play it around in your mind. Work all the angles. Ask yourself, would you do this if your parents, teacher, etc., were standing there with you. Then ask, what could go wrong if I went ahead and did it. And don't do it unless all the answers come up right. I'm sure your parents probably told you the same thing. As my son would have said when he was the Judge and attorney in Teen Court, there's no defense for someone who's guilty of stupidity! Live smart and safe.

I'll get off my soapbox now[soapbox]

I am soo angry. As a former driver I have been placed in situations like these. (Semi trailers) Some of you drivers may understand me perfectly when I chose to "crease em" rather than spill cargo all over the road.

Any kid of mine that would do that is in for a good A$$ whipin'.......how big a boy are ye'?

Here is the funny part, had they just approached any railroad offical, on just about any railroad with the request, they would have been buried under the safety/training videos, for free,and directed to a Operation Lifesaver person, who would have been more that happy to come to their school and do a presentation...

Duh!

I know, I know. Couldn't resist it, though. [:D]
