Morning everyone. Good thing you all live close FWM. In my case if my car broke down I'd call my brother. My mom is great but not much in the car department. Years ago she was at my house & her car wouldn't start when she was ready to leave so we hooked up the jumper cables. Backwards. We set the cables on fire & blew out the entire electrical system in her car. My neighbor came running out & yanked the cables off before it fried my car too.
DS accidently put the cables on wrong ON MY CAR and blew up the battery.
Darn lucky it didn't kill one of us.
Yikes battery acid would hurt if you got hit with it.

We both ruined our clothes. Burned holes right through them. I didn't care as long as we weren't burned.

DS was 15 at the time and ran for the house stripping as he went. I at least got the other car turned off before I ran for the house. It was winter and really cold out, so we were well covered.

We can laugh about it now, but at the time it was scary and surprised the cRap out of both of us.

Gosh Czech, that was a close one!

I guess it was good that it happened during the Winter. In the Summer, you both might have been badly hurt! cry

Awesome. I'll take myself on a Geek Meet trip to see Lexxy and NJN! That would be really fun, lol.
Bring your kids and I will babysit for you. I have a whole troop of grand's who would love to help. Then you can go and have some fun. Plus, I would get to meet you too!
Sorry your DH is going to be gone for so long. Job promotion and increased paycheck does make it easier though. Congrats on that part.
I get to meet her FIRST! I'm stingy like that. lol Yeah, I can totally relate to having your spouse being away at work.
HaH! I'm closer, so there.

I managed to squeeze in working out. Now will someone please come take my dog to the vet for me? I really don't want to take her. She gets extremely car sick.

It is crazy windy today. I was walking across the parking lot, had my hands full...and did a Marilyn Monroe...NOT pretty!

Gosh, I'd offer to help, NJN.

But, I've been on the run all day. And, I never had a dog get car sick on me.

I don't think I could hack it. cry

Plus, I have to rest up for tomorrow! wink

Luckily the parking lot was fairly empty...but there's a street that runs right by the edge.

All I can think of looking at this thread title is "Giraffes? Giraffes!"
Today's adventure: helping a guy buy a dress for his wife. That I have never met. What to I have to go one?
"She is shorter than you. And thinner. But not much thinner. Maybe she is the same. She is short and round and cute. I think she is size 24."
Right.
From the pictures, she is a size 8, max. But I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER MET HER.

Dona Worry Be Happy · Vette's SS!!

What is confusing him is that she looks thinner than me--but has a much bigger chest. And he doesn't seem to get how that works.
I did steer him away from a dress for his independent toddler. It had about twenty teeny tiny buttons up the back .

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

That reminds me of the time my bf bought me a pair of size 16 pants when I wore a size 2. I was crushed he thought I looked that fat. Then he explained that he wore size 32 jeans & since I was half his size he figured that made me a 16.

LOL! That's some logic he was using there, Lexxy! wink

NAOW, that sucks, but big time dividend pay off. Spend the time socializing with friends as much as possible and doing road trips with the kids. The time will go by quick.

There is a quote from a comic that I often reference:
"All it would take is one stiff breeze amd the whole world would know I am wearing underpants with monkeys on them!"

I watched it last night. But, I need to watch it again. I was too tired to pay good attention.

It does look like there will be a new episode next week. Yay! smile
