LOL...Thanks techno it's working again.... I heard a rumor that it wouldn't work...

T, I knew I didn't lose it.... One of those technical difficulties as they call them.... I guess.

That techo can fix anything from a missing Likes button to a broken heart.

She's pretty special!

Yepper, your right about that T, now if she can just get my pup to walk on a leash without acting like a sled dog...I would be forever in her debt!! :)

Just lightly tie a little ribbon around her muzzle, and she'll quit pulling on the lead. I don't know why...but it works. You can also buy a leather muzzle thingy, but why spend the money.

See? I can fix almost anything. It's cuz I worked for the phone company for a really long time, and had to come up with quick witty answers to all life's most bizarre questions! Oh, and also from raising boys...who "still" think I know everything...(Thank you Google!!)...:blink:

Well if your boys have passed the teenage years without thinking that they knew more than you do you are doing very well! lol

Well, we did have our share of eyerolling when they were teens...but overall, I think I was pretty lucky...compared to some of the parent's stories I've heard!

Yep, I am one of those parents telling those stories lol But my son is almost 31 (ee gads!) and he turned out pretty well which is what counts in the end :) Now he has a 3 year old and I am actually not putting the mothers curse on him lol You knw, when you grow up you will have one just like you?

I had one boy ...

Let me put it this way. I was always real, real nice to the guys running gas stations because I wanted to be able to help this boy find a job when he grew up.

Today ... he's an entomologist, is sought after for research projects by major corporations, is married to a university professor and has never really quit going to school and studying.

You never know about them ...

One time when I was young my mother told me that she didn't care if I got as big as the side of a barn, that if I needed a whipping, she'd be able to give it to me.
When I got grown I happened to remember that conversation and thought I'd give her a little test.
I still, to this day, remember that whipping.TT

LOL...I remember my mother trying to give my older brother a whooping when he was about 15. They both eventually ended up rolling on the floor laughing and she forgot what she was mad about.
My sons were pretty good at keeping their shenanigans secret from me I think...and they both LOVE to argue with me, but they were never disrespectful. One of them is married now, and I'm gonna be a grandma by Xmas...Wahoo! THAT is really why I had to quit smoking!

So there's still hope for me, TT??? I LOVE my boys, but I do worry about their futures! Neither of them is "scholarly". Both are very bright, but just aren't very interested in proving it...

Oh my son is very respectful. Do you know that almost 31 yo he has never ever smoked a cig in front of us? That is weird because I was the same with my mom. Never smoked in front of her until I had my son and was in the hospital of all places! lol

Hey Salemgold - Nice to see you! How is your son doing now?
