I've had that happen twice, once with a water department check and once with an apartment down payment check. Both times the "lost" check reappeared and was cashed, and in the case of the apartment deposit it overdrew my checking account, which caused me to be late with a child support payment, which made me look like a dick...<br /><br />Why does no one ever lose my deposits and double them up?<br /><br />Hang in there, man.

That is the beginning of the road to canonization. <br /><br />Well at $95K he must be a Republican, they don’t help anybody in need, and it is part of the contract on America.<br /><br />So you help out a person in need, bet you vote as a democrat. Hey I could be wrong.<br /><br />I agree don’t leave the kiddies with the grand ones with out a cell phone. I have seen too Meany movies by Steven king.<br /><br />Chapter zwei<br />Oldest helped the young one get her shit?? To the door, MIL’s are full of shit?

Ok Ok they have accounting problems, but the Girls don’t need phones to call home with. Did you not see the video??? By the People??? Come on, come on??!!!!<br /><br />Lincoln Electric Company! Yeah right sounds like a band from the 70’s no WONDER the check was lost. Ask to speak to Lionel Richie; he’ll get right on it.<br /><br />Oh by the way, you don’t have to believe in spirits for them to help you. Talking snakes? Well you’re on your own.<br /><br />A bit of grammar help here, that could read “…talking to my wife about the MYCfuckeruppers,” a better read would say “blah, blah MYCfuckerupperAs, my oldest blah, blah. Just a thought. (more contained)<br /><br />Yewwwujjjjjjjeeess a MIL without her pants??? That is just wrong. And you daughter there to witness it all??? Yuck….<br />Here a moment of kindness is in order. I realize you want to help your MIL, but, BUT, to ask your daughter to go back into the house with a MIL washing her pants, well you do the math. I pray for your daughters.<br /><br />Ok alls well that ends well your MIL has a phone and the girls are protected.<br /><br />Oh By the way???

Dad had us totally lost looking for a cemetary in Kentucky - And, refused to believe the GPS on my Iphone was right - until I showed <br />him.<br />Computers and Iphones are just expensive toys to older people.<br />Find a cellphone withn BIG numbers - there is one designed for seniors- and get that. Next, if<br />they are getting soft in the head; invest in a GPS braclet.<br />Works good on kids and pets too...<br /><br /><br />SargeSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892211119418623595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1673195676510322044.post-18022361243781192502011-09-10T09:49:06.946-05:002011-09-10T09:49:06.946-05:00You are such a great SIL.
