Did anyone read about that guy in Spain who hit the 17 year old cyclist and killed him?

The sun was setting and the bicyclist wasn't wearing any reflective clothing. He crossed the path of the driver who was going 100 mph in a 55 mph zone. The driver killed the kid and the parents were paid 48,500 from the insurance company. The driver is now suing the parents for 29,000 for damage to his luxery car! I can't believe it!!!! He said it's the only way to claim his money back that he lost. Is this not appalling? I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this guy needs to have maple syrup poured over his head and buried in the dirt.

And even worst, he probably has a case, a slight chance he may win although I don't know if Spain is 'justice for all' like here.

Just sickening

Went to a clients home on Thursday night and the dog wasn't great but she went outside and peed and she ate. Beautiful, sweet, yellow lab, 8 years old. The owners have her on antibiodics and the vet did blood work. Thought she might have cancer. Anway, went back over Friday morning and poor thing was laying on the kitchen floor, couldn't even move hardly. She was so scared. She lost control of her bowels, panting VERY heavily. I called my hubby to come over because I couldn't lift her. We rushed her to the vet, I called the owner. Turns out she had full blown pneumonia, had a seizure during the night, has cancer, a brain tumor...daaayum. Those eyes. So scared. The owners were going to wait and try to make it home to see her but they ended up giving the o.k. to put her down. She was suffering. Bless her heart.

I took a picture of her in the snow a couple weeks ago and I'm going to get it blown up for them. She went to rainbow bridge and isn't suffering any more. Labs are great dogs. All dogs are great dogs.

1. We are 'their property, their possession, their trophy'. Keep polished so to give them bragging rights.

2. Husband and family come before computers. Don't go into chatrooms. If you need to shut off the computer when someone walks in the room, you shouldn't be there to begin with.

3. Don't assume the dog is fed

4. Turn the light on before you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night so you don't fall into the toilet.

5. It's not a big deal if he doesn't put the toilet paper roll on the dispenser. He wipes his ass with it. He doesn't care where the paper is as long as it's reachable.

6. He really doesn't know whats wrong!

7. He wants to tell you how his day is, not hear advice about it.

8. He needs his space to blow off steam and calm down. Don't follow him out the door. He'll come back.

9. He'll get used to your cooking no matter how bad it is.

10. He sees our body as a temple. We see our body as a football field.

11. Men have selective hearing. If you don't want to sound like Charlie Brown's teacher, throw the word 'beer' in your sentences every now and then.

12. Men can put together ANY tool with little help and do the 'I AM MAN' grunt when finished but don't know what to do with a poo poo diaper and so they become helpless little boys.

13. They can say no to sex and it's ok but GOD FORBID if WE say no to sex and hurt their egos.

how's that so far? :)

I can't believe it's almost the end of January! I still have to take my christmas lights off of a tree outside but I can't cuz their snowed on. I still have candy canes that I need to take out of my front yard garden but I can't cuz their snowed in! And to top it all off, the DAY AFTER Christmas, the stores are putting out valentines merchandise. I tell ya! It's a conspiracy! It's a conspiracy to get us moving like cows to a slaughter! Keep em goin, out with the old, in with the new. People ask where does time go? It goes right out the freakin' door cuz the merchandisers keep putting out stock earlier and earlier and earlier. Hell, I'm surprised they don't have ...oh wait! They DO have st. pattys day stuff out already! gEEEsssssshhhhhh I'm still in Christmas mode.

and good morning to yas..big wet smoooooch

my husband crawled into bed last night. He was so tired, poor baby. I just wanted a lil snuggle with him so I put my hands under the covers and touched his back. *'FREIDA!!!' I said 'what?'. 'YOUR HANDS ARE FREEZING! DON'T TOUCH ME!'. So I did it again :) 'DAAMIT *FREIDA! KNOCK IT OFF'. He takes the covers and brings them back up to his neck. hmph. So I did it again. hehe 'KNOCK IT OFF! I'M GONNA GO IN THE OTHER ROOM!'. I said 'I haven't seen you all day and I just wanna snuggle alittle honey'. He rolls over and mumbles how tired he is so right before I get up to go in the other room as not to BOTHER him, I take my open hand, put it under the cover and give him a nice ice cold hand press against his ass. I swear, ya think I killed someone. It was time for me to leave.

and good morning to you

I sold 4 things yesterday which is great but I totally screwed up on the shipping charges. I printed off the shipping labels at home and then went to the p.o. to mail them. Well, one of them was about 2.00 off, the other was about 80 cents off, the third was 2.00 off, and the fourth was weighed wrong so that was off! GEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Good thing we live in a small town and there's not long lines at the p.o.

I think I'm going to get my boxes at office depot from now on instead of using boxes at home. The boxes at office depot have the dimensions so I can't screw that up at least!

As far as weighing, I sorta go by my free weights. Put a 5lber in one hand and the box in the other! I'm pretty good most of the time but most isn't good enough. I'm getting screwed and paying extra.

I know, I know. I need to be more professional. I am getting a scale today. Hopefully they aren't too much cuz I spent all my money on damn extra shipping charges!

good morning all :)

I went to the gym yesterday and I swear, I have yet another pain. It seems to me that every morning I wake up, something on me aches. It can be my tendonitis, or my arthritis, or some other itis. I can have a pain in my back or my knees. I was told to stop doing what I'm doing at the gym as far as lifting weights goes. Hey, I'm going to be 50 this year. I refuse to give in to my aches and pains. I will slow down. As a matter of fact, my 10 mile run from just a few years ago has turned into a very hard, slow 3 mile run.

I thought I'd be approaching the big 5-0 with an open mind. Life begins at 50! A woman's sexual peak is at 50! Yea, whatever.

I'm going to do something dramatic when I'm 50. Not sure what it is yet. Maybe do a nude calender :D hahahaha. Ooooh, that wouldn't go over to well with the family. Hmmmm maybe go skydiving? Course, my boobs would probably gravitate up to my mouth and nose and I would suffocate myself. OR..when I hit the ground, I'd have yet another pain to add to my collection. Maybe I'll write a book.

Yes, there are women who are beautiful at 50. I will be one of them. But until then, I'm going to claw and scratch and fight that big 5-0 until it knocks me outta the ring. And as long as I can hold at 44 or so, that's my age and I'm sticking to it!

I don't have one. I have the sweetest mil in the world. She's in her 70s and still runs, does spinning at the gym, great health, beautiful blue eyes and best of all...minds her own business! I can call her up just to vent about something and she'll listen but won't give any advice, say's she loves us both. What a perfect answer.

Now, my first marriage, that's another story. My mil didn't approve of anything my husband and I did. Our first house we bought that we were sooooo proud of, she came over and said 'Why in the world would you want to buy this house??' My husband was so mad he got up and walked out. Thanks. Left me there in a  VERY cold room.  Thank goodness she said 'well, I guess I'd better go'. Ya think??? Did not approve of my husband's job, his hobby, my job, my hobby, the way we raised our children, paid our bills, spent money or wiped our asses. I felt like I was being judged every time we went over there. And to top it off, my husband at the time would get his hair cut before he went over there just so he wouldn't have to hear his mother say 'you need a haircut'. blahblahblah...Oh and she also told my daughter she needed to take a bath every day. Duh! my daughter is 15. how rude.

I guess I paid my dues becuase like I said, my mil now is absolutely wonderful. I even call her 'mom'. :D And my mom is a good mil. My husband calls her a 'card whore' but thats a different story.

happy saturday!

I know, I know. I just needed to share it. Ok, so he had his tooth extracted and he's on vicodin. BUT still, he knew damn well what he was doing and my body is pressed against his ass and I can feel him squeezing that air out! GRRRRR He chuckles and then has the nerve to do it yet again!!! Don't be going all prudish on me either. You know you're human too and ya'all love to hear fart stories. The worst part as,

I didn't have any ammo to retaliate.

Can anyone tell me the pros (if any) and cons of shipping internationally and also if you add on more handling charges?

I've only shipped once this way and personally think it's a pain in the ass but money is money.

Is there anywhere you won't ship and why?

thank you from the bottom of my heart :D

Do any of you sellers 'mark-up' the shipping costs when you sell something? I haven't done it yet but it seems that if something were to sell for 5.00 and you know it's worth 50.00, a small added charge to the shipping cost wouldn't hurt. I mean, it's not only the shipping charge itself thats being paid for. For justification, I pay for the packing tape, my time packing it, going to the post office, etc.

I'm not talking about a huge increase. I'm talking maximum 2.00. Is that so wrong??

I changed my picture (again). Now this little guy or girl looks something like a..hmmmm, I don't even know what it looks like! I don't even know what it is! I think it's supposed to be a dog that got a very bad shock from an electric hairdryer..ya think? Or maybe it's a skunk?

OOoh I hope you can see this picture ok and it's not too big! My cat is not only a male but it's a freakin head he gave birth to! I guess this is what they mean by 'butting heads'?

Humor comes in many forms. My form is stupid at the moment.

GOOD MORNING! SMOooooooCH
