Rog, she's everybody's mom! That's funny that someone would panic because their kid was wet - didn't we all get soaked as kids? Sprinklers, pools, fountains, you name it. Lawd.

Roger, you're a hoot.


It was a SCHOOL that panicked.

Ah, sorry. Thought it was the mom. Still, quite stupid. Maybe they were afraid of a lawsuit... oh wait, that's in the USA.

The foster mum panicked because she was suddenly expected to be in two places at once, so she couldn't think.

Yes, I think schools panic because of the helicopter parents who come and abuse them.

I took the phone and gently suggested they leave the little fellow outside for five minutes, in the shade, after which he would be perfectly dry.



Hate to tell you this, but you sound a lot like Mom.


I assure you, I am only the cats' mother.

Sometimes I wonder just how many times you can move a Post-it Note? I think about doing an experiment to compile some data and then prepare to analyze the results. Then I remember I don't have any Post-it Notes in the house.

You may be surprised to note that post-it-notes were the result of a failed adhesive product in 1968. The first use was for marking the pages in a hymnal by an employee of 3M. It took another 12 years to market the product.

@Intrepid,
I think I had heard that story about Post-it Notes, but what I meant to say was that there were several people on my mother's side of the family who had red hair.

@Joe Nation,
An ordinary piece of paper and some adhesive tape work better, in my opinion, to that product. Wink

I just wanted to mention, and I hope it doesn't derail this thread, but Irish Whiskey will not freeze. It doesn't even get glassy like vodka does.\

I wonder if you will change your hosting or housecleaning habits after this:

40% of all people who come to a party in your home snoop in your medicine cabinet.

I do too. I rescued one once.
He was standing on double yellow lines on a road in Upstate, NY. I parked n picked him up by the back of his shell.
He had a long neck, maybe 14 inches, but he coud not reach my hands, in back. I put him into a wet irrigation ditch
at the side of the road.

I don 't know whether he was a Democrat or a Republican.

@OmSigDAVID,
No real convictions. He was just straddling the line.

I carried him to the irrigation ditch alongside of the road,
so that he 'd not be convicted of J walking.

@roger,
It's frustrating to be in the middle of a job and not find the right tools.

@edgarblythe,
Edgar, Roger is right (as usual), the last place you look is always where anything can be found, like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and those little Irish leprechauns, greedy little buggers.

The search is worth it as you might find wrenches. BTW, Dys told me the difference between a plumbers wrench and a regular wrench. But let's not while away the time with wrenches when there are screw drivers to be found where the pliers used to be.

Do you remember that movie with Dustin Hoffman in which he had his teeth pulled out with pliers? Why on earth would you want a pair of pliers, anyway? But I digress...
