Nice call Groundhog. You surrendered just before I had to come over there and Yippee Ky Yay you.

If your excuse for picking your kid up 15 minutes late is, "I couldn't find a can opener," then I am giving you permission to lie to me. I deserve a better excuse or a better non-sequitur.

Detergent Test Report: Rocking Green

I got my Rockin' Green, rocked the soak, and thought, "Well duh they're clean. You had me soak them in boiling water for an hour." Honestly, the smell wasn't as strong or delightful as I'd heard and while the diapers were pleasantly clean they hadn't really been unpleasantly dirty before.

Then I tried it on my husband's Army shirts which always smell. The only thing that's cut the funk is stripping with Dawn and even that didn't completely clear it AND it ticked him off because I washed them in hot and they shrunk. I used Rocking Green in place of my regular detergent, basic warm wash, and WOW what a difference. They don't smell. I'm a convert.

Adios property manager

Most awkward conversation year to date:

Landlady: Juergen is no longer with my daughter so from now on you will contact me about the house. Tell me what he has been doing here.

Me: We really haven't seen him since the basement flooded six months ago.

Landlady: Ah. Then he said he was coming here when he went to ...see his girlfriend.

Long, long, long, long, long pause.

Unsolicited Advice: Swappers

Please join me in reality. When you list what you are in search of and what you have the two lists should have some similarities in value.

ISO Tiffany necklace, IHA Walmart watch is not a reasonable swap even if both are jewelry.

Also the words "custom made" may mean it cost you more but it doesn't mean it's worth more now. It was custom made to your specs, not mine.

"Limited edition" is meaningless when it comes to handmade goods. Everything is a limited edition unless the WAHM only has one product, one fabric, and no life.

Claiming apathy does not make you less of an ignorant twat.

Letters read by Congressmen on TV

I think if they're going to use Joe the Mechanic's expert advice on federal debt management they should also be required to present his PhD.

Also, why is it they never read the letters from the NAMBLA members or the "fine citizens of the state of Florida" calling them a bunch of dogfuckers?
