Then again it's summer in the PNW so you should save the rants for September when the rains return. Get out and enjoy the last month of summer before it's too late.<BR/><BR/>BTW - great kids = great role model!rodgerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02629704857035805249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-59737429131607855122008-07-28T18:29:00.000-07:002008-07-28T18:29:00.000-07:00RG: Goddamn, can I hire you to answer my comments? Let's see... you won't read about me in the Stranger. They only cover Seattle proper. My town is like Seattle's redheaded stepchild to the north. (no idea why that saying is supposed to be insulting, but whatever) Thanks for the calming words about MO's driving and TD's tattoo. I feel better now. And he actually mentioned a scooter, btw. I told him you loved yours. Should've kept my mouth shut. Bohemian's got some Pride pics over at her site. Link's in the post. Smooches!more cowbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17867825812404503048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-46103596507720412612008-07-28T16:33:00.000-07:002008-07-28T16:33:00.000-07:00Team Demon graduating - Okay this made me misty-eyed a little bit. Don't smother the Male Offspring.<BR/><BR/>Male Offspring driving: Honey, I was the same way. Still would be if I owned a car. But I'm just as crazy on my scooter. Aren't you glad he didn't ask to get his motorcycle license? bwaaa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha<BR/><BR/>Commissioner Cowbell: Way cool. I can't wait to read about it in The Stranger. Maybe you'll make the Slog!<BR/><BR/>Bohemian's Stitches: Poor thing. Remember when we were kids? Helmets? Pfssssssst! Don't forget the Monkey Bars above a cement base!<BR/><BR/>MO's Ripstick accident - let's hope he drives better than rolls.<BR/><BR/>Ghana: Effing clinic - as if a tropical bug cares of you're a volunteer or not. She's having the time of her life I bet!<BR/><BR/>MO's football mowhawk: Again, the driving thing. hahahahahahaha<BR/><BR/>Tattoos: At least she didn't tattoo her breast. It's cute.<BR/><BR/>Pride: I bet he looked hawt! <BR/><BR/>Betty: I'm plotzing over the good news of your friend's phone call and her being alright, as much as one can in her situation. I hope Dumb-ya doesn't stop loss her. She needs to come home, if only to get you to stop worrying about one more thing.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the ride called life honey. There's plenty of more twists and turns coming your way. Can't wait to read about those too!RGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12264363264956622352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-2419522755624906922008-07-28T15:19:00.000-07:002008-07-28T15:19:00.000-07:00<B>Willym:</B> That's all I need. <BR/><BR/><B>Sageweb:</B> It was good to hear from her, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/><B>E:</B> No. As a matter of fact, they don't care if we're ready or not. In fact, I think it adds to their enjoyment when we're not. <BR/><BR/><B>Whim:</B> Thanks! So far, so good on all fronts. <BR/><BR/><B>Tater:</B> Yes, dust off the helmet! And yes, I'm glad she didn't get a rose or a butterfly or an eagle. A heart with MOM, though ... that would've been nice.<BR/><BR/><B>Allan:</B> Oh we're heavy on the fluff these days.

Stars are better than names, or chili peppers, or shamrocks, or cartoon characters! Glad she showed some restraint.

I&#39;m so not ready! I can&#39;t even imagine how you process that (or don&#39;t). I tell my girls they can&#39;t tattoo or pierce anything till they&#39;re 18. So you both did good. You set the limit, she listened. And stars are always a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Driving. Again, so not ready. And yet, they don&#39;t care if we&#39;re ready, do they? They just go on and do stuff. I hate it.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get the commissioner job. (&quot;There&#39;s a diversity emergency Batman! Call Commissioner Cowbell!&quot;)<BR/><BR/>I have a package by the front door that I&#39;ve been meaning to send to Betty &amp; co.

Everyone sounds like they are doing great. I meant to tell you a while ago that I got a letter from Betty. It was very nice and sad. I have been meaning to write her back.

The fact that you say that after reading about my daughter's tattoo and piercing, speaks volumes. <BR/><BR/><B>Willym:</B> Willym I swear, if you weren't gay, married, and living half a world away, I'd marry your ass. Such a flatterer. And I like your "kissing the ring" idea. I'm off to buy the next Cracker Jacks box I see. Thanks for the candle. Here's the son's response, when I read him your response: "Dude ... my driving is hella pro." Right. From the mouths of teens.more cowbellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04353267905923574347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-24265538804167418452008-07-26T05:51:00.000-07:002008-07-26T05:51:00.000-07:00What the hell you talking about "fluff" - the political rants we can get from others, the news of the Cowbell Clan we can only get from you.<BR/><BR/>I'm still wondering how a woman so young can have two children who have graduated from high school? But putting that aside congrats to the grad - you've got a good deal to be proud of... and of course she got stars - she's one herself.<BR/><BR/>As to the candle I'm not going to fool around with this one - I'll head right over to the mother house - St Peter's and light the biggest one I can find. I'm sure he'll do fine but a little help never does astray.<BR/><BR/>The Bohemianis going to have stories to tell - travel can be a bitch but sometimes its these little inconveniences that make things interesting. Togo - Laurent worked in Lomé for a while, he loved the people, the place a little less so.<BR/><BR/>Hmm... Commissioner... will we have to salute or kiss your ring or anything strange like that?<BR/><BR/>And if its any consulation the stories about your house from hell make me glad I sold mine. Doesn't that make you feel better? Didn't think so!<BR/><BR/>BaciWillymhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-49693077025339623442008-07-25T22:22:00.000-07:002008-07-25T22:22:00.000-07:00I'm so impressed with you,your family and your life...ya done good...yellowdog grannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14906624317290990109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219482197154961641.post-48382884773550070862008-07-25T22:18:00.000-07:002008-07-25T22:18:00.000-07:00What is fluff to you is a great read to me.
