The base colors of a monitor/TV screen (RGB). Are they supposed to mean something else?

When I lived in Smyrna I had the same problem (only not limited to Friday nights). I just made a habit of going out with a trash bag every couple of days and picking up the crap (literally...I found a dirty diaper one time...GAH!). I lived in a house, but some semi-sketchy apartments were two doors down and I got a lot of foot traffic. I also have always made sure to keep my yard looking at least presentable, so when they throw stuff out, they know somebody's going to be picking it up (vs. throwing it on a vacant lot or something), and people walking past would see me cleaning up, etc. Can

Wee hoo!!! Good progress, baby!

For some reason, I was picturing a 16-year-old kid. So yeah, knowing he's 8 makes it a WHOLE lot funnier. That's hilarious that the mom was clueless. hahahahahahahaa

I'm quite certain that the number of dents in Daddy's trucks over the years caused by us kids is in the dozens. If not more. Driving a truck across a ditch and through a gate at the same time ain't as easy as some might think.

Oh, glad you asked! I want to know, but I don't want everybody to think I'm a Nosy Nellie. I mean, I am a Nosy Nellie...I just don't want everybody to think I am.

Ooh...glad you thought of the scented candles thing. I'm still paying off that damned ER bill...thought I was gonna die there before they got the oxygen to me. Also, please no strong perfume or after shave...I don't care if they do have emergency call boxes every 100 feet and paramedics at every mile marker.

HAHAHAHA Well, now that I've read the explanation, I'll grant you clemency on the thump. You are too funny.

WOW. I'm glad they got him to Grady so fast. DAAAAAAAAAAAAANG.

That is pretty darn funny. 'Cept if he had been intent on doing somebody harm...then it wouldn't have been funny.

Thanks for the review of "Eat Pray Love"...I figured that would be the case...now I don't have to waste my time. Also, I don't know how you feel about John Wayne. How do you feel about John Wayne? If you don't like him, I'm gonna cry. Or thump you on the head.

Honey, my three-year-old nephew will fight your three-year-old kid for that monster truck! He has to "drive" down the driveway with me when we go somewhere...but only sitting in my lap with me actually controlling everything. In fact, we all learned to drive when we were like 10, but it was driving Daddy's truck in the pasture while we were hauling hay. NEVER EVER on the road, and most esp. alone. You are not being petty, my dear. I agree with the idea of keeping the kids in the back yard for awhile. Edited to add: Weatherboy and chindog crack me up.

Who on earth could eat 100 meals in a week? (Sorry. Had to do it. )

I have had the same experiences.

Only because Apple has such a small market share. Viruses can attack them as well; it's just that goobs who write this malware want to hit the maximum number of people possible. So by definition, if Apple's market share were to go way up, so also would malware problems. (And no, I'm not an Apple hater.)

Yes, and two of the people like this I know personally have made some mondo mondo money in real estate. Ye gods. I don't even know how they remember how to get to work every day. Strange world. Or God's mercy.

I think somebody on here is a member of that church...Guard Dad, maybe? He might could point you in a direction of somebody who would know.

What markdavd said. And just to give you a gentle rebuke - the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. We are ALLL massively ignorant in some areas. But I do know what you mean...sometimes I ask about something and then think, how did I live 49 years and not know this?

Smart move on the tinting...my brother/SIL have a house with mostly windows on the western/south-facing side. They put up tinting immediately when they first moved in, and it has been a life-saver. The few weeks they were there without it, you couldn't even sit in the rooms right over the a/c vent and be comfortable.

Well said, brother...well said.

WAY TO GO, OP!!! You are DA BOMB!!! Man, if there were more parents like you, kids would turn out a lot better than they often do. We knew when we were growing up that my parents would do what they said, and we became responsible adults because of it. I'm very proud of you. You wipe those tears away, pop in some music you love, and think about something you LOVE all the way home. You get the Good Parent Award for today! (Years ago, I read in one of James Dobson's books of the same problem they were having with his daughter. In that story, they told her she'd have to be on time or call

You think they're gonna let you off the hook? I think not. I'm betting you have to pay just like everybody else. BTW - tiny hijack, but awesome congratulations on your weight loss! Wee hoo, as my toddler nephew says!

I am not even gonna comment on this because I'm quite sure I would get flamed knowing how pcom operates sometimes. But my thoughts are neither charitable nor "understanding". A little girl is dead, and for no good reason whatsoever. I pray for her family to somehow find God's comfort in their grief. Other than that, I will not say.

HAHAHA Yer warped. I like that. hahahahaha
