Lessons Learned

Tulick and I have agreed to disagree, just like we always do.



I'm so happy to see you, UC.

I know the road has been rough, but you have been missed very much.

Well, by keeping her ignorant comments intact, it just shows everyone the kind of person she is. It is her downfall to keep writing such crap.

This story is wonderful. All of us moms hope our kids can be as independent, self reliant and budget conscious as your kid ( not too mention creative)



Keep up the good work and kudos to your son !!

I don't understand people like this ... dunno what to say!! But look from whence it came.

Please don't stop sharing your stories, they're so real and funny and heartwarming. X@

That's easier said than done, Des.

Don't kill the story. :( Then she wins there too. It is a nice story, and we all like to hear about your kids. Ignore the black cloud.

Cabbie, Tulick follows all my stories to tell me what a horrible mother I am.

I usually let her comments go on by, but this is getting ridiculous. I know I can block her, but somehow that makes me feel like she's won something. I've never blocked anyone.

I may just kill this story and move on :-(

Sheesh what an insecure, bad-mouthing, unloved, probably it's own fault, unlikeable, downtrodden, interrupting, know-it-all, jealous, poor-lil-ole-me, attention-seeking, helpless, can't do anything for myself - I could go on and on and on and on - pathetic twit!

Should we flag it? Poor lil-ole-me!!

Heavens!

somehow i doubt that



ALL parents like doinig that you just do it with a touch of a cruel streak

Tulick, you have never been so wrong about anything in your life.

no you just like laughing your butt off attheir mistakes



looking at their struggles and saying i told you so

Frito, I'm in awe of the adventurous spirit of all kids!

Lilt I'm impressed with your son working on his own electronics but I am in awe that he will make his own pasta, Smaaaarr!

and who said i could't "take it"

If you are going to "dish" it out, you better be able to take it.

Want fries with that?

and no one has to ask streight up what

Sorry Tulick, but this dish is served straight up.

Guess which 2 fingers i'm holding up right now

I even tossed up a Ceasar salad, without poking an eye out.

ROFLOL!!

I know my sons won't be starving for at least a little while. They were over for dinner last night. They each had a 16oz. T-Bone, prepared by Cruella DeMom on the dangerous grill.

Look at me! I managed to boil water tonight, and I am fine! Imagine that! *rolls eyes*



Being proud of your children and expressing that here, isn't bragging. It is SHARING A STORY. A good one at that.

oh i can think of a way boiling hot water acidently knocked on self



and its worth the cnhance of 3rd degree burns to save a few bucks



i do get it- its you that doesn't get it that its NOT cool its not ok for you to sit back and laught your butt off watching them struggle its cruelty of the first order

I have never heard of anyone causing serious injury to themselves while making noodles.



My children are struggling to eat, live and function???

I am implying that everyone should do what my kid is doing???



As Tulick would say...

"You don't get it."

Faucon my comments about this have no corilation to bathing wether you take a shower or a bath or use soap a rag and a sink you DON"T have to stink



same is true here you DON"T have to cook it eat well and not spend a fortune (mircrowaves anyone)



and you DON"T have to take a chance of causing sirious injury to self to have pasta or any other food and its not worth the chance



but "the anger" is more about her braging about sitting back watching her college kids struggle to eat live and fuction



"the anger" is more about her bragging that she has raised a cheepscate kid who apparently doesn't know when he should spend money who is petrified to do so



and what happens when building the computer doesn't work and he's out the money he spent on parts and still has to buy a PC



oh and the implied idea that we should all do what her kid is doing in this story notice she never did answer my question how a bag of flower, and a dozen eggs is cheaper than a $1 containor of posta

hehe...you make me smile, b.



I agree with you, Des, being a food journalist would be great fun. I would also love to be a judge on Top Chef!

guys



I don't have a problem with the lady. nothing she writes can irritate me.



I HAVE BLOCKED HER SINCE BEFORE XMAS, I THINK.



hahaha



So, now she cannot **** in my sandbox.



soooo easy and sooooooooooo very peaceful.



love

b

*ignoring the anger which has no business sullying this very nice story*



I liked Faucon's cute story about "Daddy" sewing patches! :)



Being a food journalist would ROCK, cabcraft! Yummy :)

Well, that's why you are a stand-up guy.

Glowy, we make "half-sours" with a simple mix of vinegar, salt, water, and garlic. It's sooo easy.



Sametoyou, putting the whole world down would take a long time, eh?
