The Joys of Having Teenagers

I am one that loves a pretty bathroom... ......one of life's simple pleasures.....when I bathe..be it a shower or bath....I love to indulge in candles, beautiful bath products and a nice fluffy towel to dry off .....

Keep in mind...my 3 teenagers have their own bathroom which I keep stocked with nice towels also...

For some reason my kids insist on taking their shower in my bathroom....yes it is a bit bigger than theirs, but their private oasis is just as lovely.......nevertheless......they are always in MY bathroom...that being said........

The other night I was luxuriating in my beautiful bathtub. ..full of warm water...bubbles...candlelight...a real getaway from the every day stresses...........I was relaxed....happy and looking forward to wrapping myself in one of the nice fluffy clean towels I had just laundered that very morning........As I slowly stepped out of the tub onto the bath mat..... ..........I went to go grab a fluffy towel .......and there weren't any there!!!!  I looked high and low.....not one towel to be found.....now what was I to do...I am dripping wet...no one is around to go fetch me a towel.......I went into the vanity and grabbed two face clothes and proceded to dry myself off with two tiny face clothes like they do at a car wash.........I was sooooo pissed off....but laughing at the same time because if anyone would have seen me drying off like that they would have been hysterical laughing.

After the incident...I told my husband....he said the same thing happened to him the night before...as he jumped out of the shower....there were no towels or face clothes...he had to use the floor mat!!!!! Right then and there we decided we needed to get a pad lock on our door....all the towels were thrown damp in the corners of our kids rooms....AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

The creep.  Isn't it a real tragedy that human beings are so mean to each other....he should rot in hell the son of a bitch..........why would someone do that to another person??????  Why???  Why are some people so rotten and get pleasure out of inflicting pain on an innocent person trying to better themselves????  The Nun is suing the jack ass...hopefully she will win and he will get a hefty fine.....doesn't facebook have rules against nude photos??

13 Things Your Grocer Won't Tell You...

More helpful hints from the Reader's Digest

1. If you hate crowds and lines, shop at dinnertime (5 to 9 p.m.) or even later. Only 4 percent of shoppers hit the aisles between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. Least-crowded day of the week? Wednesday.

2. Go ahead and reach way back for the fresh milk. Everybody does.

3. Coupons with a bar code are easy to scan. The other ones take an eternity. But if you're willing to wait …

Least-crowded day of the week? Wednesday.

4. That star fruit has been here a lot longer than the broccoli. Familiar produce turns over more quickly than exotic things.

5. "The more products you see, the more you are likely to buy," says Marion Nestle, author of What to Eat. "That's why the aisles are so long and the milk is usually in the far corner."

6. Like employees with a good attitude? Shop at chains that are employee-owned, suggest customer-satisfaction surveys. When employees have a stake in the profits, it shows in their attitude.

7. The "grazers" order food at the deli, eat it as they're shopping, and get rid of the wrappers before they check out. We also call that stealing.
8. I'm not just selling groceries, I'm selling real estate. Look high and low-literally-for good values from smaller manufacturers who can't afford to stock their products in the eye-level sweet spot.

9. We're marketing to your kids too. That's why we put the rainbow-colored cereals and other kiddie catnip at their eye level.

10. Be wary of "specials." When people see signs with numbers-"8 for $10!" "Limit: 5 per customer"—they buy 30 to 100 percent more than they otherwise might have.

11. The baby formula is locked up because thieves resell it on the black market. Ditto for the cough and cold medications, smoking-cessation products, razor blades, and batteries.

12. Driving your Ferrari to the Piggly Wiggly and want to avoid shopping-cart dents? Park far, far away.

13. You'll end up tossing 12 percent of what you buy.

What NOT to say on a first Date! "This is my apartment, but don't break anything, or you'll have to pay for it." "Here, have a tic-tac. It's on me." (To the waitress) "Could I have your phone number?" "Before we go back to my place -- you're not afraid of cockroaches, are you?" "I really had a good time tonight, uh, um, what the hell was your name again?" "Hey, check out the babe sittin' in the corner. Wow, what a body!" "What? Oh, I thought you were paying." "Nice dress. I have one at home just like it." "So my hand slipped, and the knife cut about half an inch into my thumb, and the blood was gushing all over the place, so I went to the emergency room to have it stitched up, but it kept throbbing, and swelling, and, oh, but I see you're eating." "I want to move out, but my mom really needs me. And, who else is gonna make my lunch? And my bed? And clean my room?" "No, I don't have a job. I spend all my time in the basement. I'm building a submarine, when I'm not playing with my inflatable doll." (Looking at her plate) "Are you going to finish that?" "The mother ship will be returning next June. Then I'll be leaving for Neptune. Hey, here's a thought. You should come with me!" "My old girlfriend, Lisa, was so beautiful. She looked kind of like you. I used to bring her here all the time. Do you mind if I call you Lisa?" "Well, I don't go out in public all too often. And I don't like to be touched, so don't touch me. And try not to stare at me. And let me know if anybody else is staring at me."

 

Sarah Palin

Am I the only one out there that is annoyed by Sarah Palin???  Her voice...her actions......she is attractive, but in a "cheap" sort of way...... She strikes me as someone that got a lucky break when McCain picked her to be the VP canidate.........now you KNOW she is going to try to run for President.....I would love to see a woman President of the United States........but not her!!!!!  She is just.....well.......annoying....those stupid names of her kids.....who the frig names their kid twig or trig or whatever the hell it is..........

She hit the lottery by having John McCain bring her into the spotlight...books deals....talk of her own show.....mega bucks for speaking gigs.....to me....she is the equivelant of one of the fools on a reality show......like that ass Spencer Pratt. .....making it really big by default.............AND...the thing with David Letterman.......if you can't take jokes...you should not be in the limelight.

13 Things Your Pizza Delivery Guy Won't Tell You

Another Readers Digest Gem...enjoy....

1. My other line is ringing, so choose the toppings before you call. Remember: It's a pizza, not a lifetime commitment.

2. We know when kids are prank-calling us. They can't mask their voices very well. The smart ones block the phone number. The dumb ones don't.

3. If I drop your pizza on the way, sometimes I'll shake the box to get the cheese to slide back on right.

4. Patience, please. It takes about 20 minutes to go from raw dough to fully baked pizza. And then I have to drive to your house.

From Clipart.com

Pizza tips should be 10 to 15 percent of your order, according to the local delivery guys we interviewed.

5. In some neighborhoods, a kid getting out of a car with a pizza in his hands is like screaming, "Rob me! I have cash!" That's why we won't deliver to some neighborhoods.

6. When you see me drenched and shivering in the rain, it's not nice to close the door in my face while you search for some quarters in the sofa cushions.

7. When you open the door, please hang up your cell phone or put it down. It's basic etiquette.

8. I'd prefer that you have a shirt on (and definitely some pants).

9. Tips should be 10 to 15 percent of your order. If you order a lot of pizza—say, hundreds of dollars' worth, for a party or something—but give me a $1 tip, well, I'm going to have a problem with that.

10. The more gated the community, the more guarded the wallet. The best tips actually come from middle- and lower-class people who know what we go through.

11. I remember every customer who doesn't tip. I won't do anything to jeopardize my job, but shaking the soda on the next delivery would not be out of the question.

12. I'll knock on your door three times and call you on the phone twice. If you don't answer, don't call later to complain that you didn't get your food. I can't wait forever.

13. A guy once ordered pizza from me just so he'd have some help moving his sofa up a flight of stairs. I agreed to help him. He gave me a few extra bucks. I took it.
