Yoganerd - 2007-12-13 4:02 PM That is just hilarious.  I like your boss!  He sounds a lot like mine.  Nice to be able to joke about things like that, in this world of being ultra-politically-correct!

x2!

feeling better Sharon?

Boy,things have been busy around here.

Things here have pretty interesting. 

Think y'all might get a kick out of this story.

Got home today and checked answering machine.

Message goes something like "This is for John, it's Melissa w/ (some shipping comp) calling tolet you know that your ATV is scheduled to be delivered Mon b/t 12 and 5...." I immediately think they've got the wrong #, so I play it again.  Still not sure she said "an ATV" or "a TV".

Call hubby at work.  Ask him "what the f***ing hell kind of Christmas shoping he's been doing"  He swears he's ordered nothing and hasn't bought a single thing for Christmas.

I call the lady and tell her ironically she's got the right name, but wrong number.  Nope the last name and address matches.  Shipper... my estranged druggy father whome I haven't spoken to since I found out 2 yrs about the illegally, forged life insurance policy he took out on me.

Now I'm trying to figure out how big or small this thing is and is it appropriate for a FOUR YEAR OLD!!!!

This is going to be an interesting Chirstmas!!!!!!!



No ATV is appropriate for a 4 year old.

I am feeling a bit more human this afternoon.  I'll probably hit the hay early again, and then in to the office tomorrow.  I should be over the plague-bearer stage.

(thanks for asking

wow, I guess so!

Yes, and mny sister dropped the bomb that she's bringing her dog TOO!!

So my Christmas will look something like...

1 ATV and cat... 2 kids.... 3 dogs (mine,Mom's,sister's)... 4 adults... 5#'s of Prime Rib... 6 sippy cups... 7 hours of skiing (thank GOd)... 8 children's movies... 9 cheese balls (gotta have them)... 10 noisy toys... 11 bottles of wine.... and... 12 cases of beer (for hubby)

And my mom wonders why my husband tries to disappear when she comes.

Drinking 6 Pack

An ATV for a four year old. I hope there is no weird life insurance policy motivation behind that gift.

We're hoping it's battery powered. Shipping comp. says it weighs 86 lbs and valued at $300, and I do get to check it out before signing for it.

Sis says sign for it, take picture, label pic as "Our inheritance", then sell it and put cash in boys savings or 529 plan.

Good point - maybe it is a "Power Wheels"... those pretty much move a long at a crawl.  Heck, at four I was driving a go-cart with a VW engine in it!  Okay, maybe that explains a few things...

Doubt it, but excellent effort.  Here's a hint to maybe try.... keep a cup of water in one hand and hold a plate with the other.  Don't put either down... now you can't grab any food.

It wouldn't help me (with hunger), but maybe it will give you a little Vitamin C boost.

Here is an electric ATV that is sold via Amazon. Me neighbor up the street has it for her son and he spins the wheels constantly (which are plastic, not rubber) and gets stuck all the time.
