LOL Tori!

Kacey - that’s the thing - my parents are wonderful, but we’re all set in our ways! But they’re having a blast with their grandchild.

Happy B-Day, Jean! And yeah, I think I forged a few notes in my day *g* Mainly when I had to get bad test grades signed…

Amy - thanks for the b-day wishes for the four year old!

Hey - if you don’t hear from me frequently, it’s b/c we left for vacation and I’m on slow as sh** dial-up and can barely check emails.

ROFL…Wow, so glad my mom isn’t a nurse!

And happy birthday (late?) to your big girl!

Your four year old and I appear to share a birthdate. Happy Birthday,

As for the books, I feel your pain. For my recent move, mine were packed by someone who seemed to find no more value in them than my old sneakers. I cringed as they were being packed, and I held my breath as I unpacked them. They arrived mostly unscathed. One or two with the pages bent, and one of my antiques’ spines looked a little stressed, but it seems to have calmed down now that it’s breathing air again.

My mom didn’t become a nurse until about ten years after I moved out. I still had to be near death before I could get out of school, though. These days, my niece gets permission to leave school early (of course, upon reflection, she probably doesn’t fake notes from my parents to do it, so it’s probably a good thing).

Hugs!! Living with your parents…:eek: I love my mom, but I sure don’t think we could live together for very long…at least not without two kitchens

Hang in there and I hope the construction goes by QUICKLY!

she tells me that my allergies are all in my head.

Did you tell her that allergies usually are? At least all mine are. Just call me the Queen of Sinus Infections.

Good luck getting back into the house in October!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Sasha! Keep praying *g*

Me too, Michelle! Am praying for October…

Two words, Jill: Prison. Roomies. Just think of all the quiet time we’d have to write…

*waves to Christyne* Thanks for de-lurking and for all the compliments! You made my day! (And Jake’s too, although he’s not quite so modest.:wink:)

Tori - You laugh all you want.:lol: And I’m {{{hugging}}} you right back. I’ll try and keep you laughing…

Emma & Rene - I’d be scared. Especially since I’m allergic to everything, including plain old vitamins. My mom pushes the herbal stuff too…she tells me that my allergies are all in my head.:eek:

Hey Lynn! I admit, I’m pretty much the same way too. I think that’s why I wait till I’m keeling over to take anything myself too *g*

Thanks for the hugs, Jaq! I’ll take as many as I can get.

LOL about the mom-is-a-nurse thing. My mom is, too, and I had to pretty much be bleeding out the eyeballs before she’d so much as blink. Plus, whenever I’d complain of a pain, she’d ask me if I’d taken anything for it yet. If I said “no” she’d tell me to go away and come back later if the aspirin/Advil didn’t work. I do the same thing to my husband and kids. Don’t complain if you haven’t tried to do anything to stop it.

(((Steph))) All will be well. . . . eventually!

OMG, Emma, my mother has started doing the same thing! She kills me, she goes to the health food store and buys some herb with an unpronouncable name and tells me I should take it to cure my hangnail. Two weeks later the FDA comes out with some warning about it and she has to quit taking it. Maybe something popped in her head when she joined AARP.

Aw, man. I feel your pain. I don’t know how I’d handle living with my parents again. My mom is a nurse, too, (though she didn’t become one until she was in her forties, so staying home from school was generally not a problem :biggrin:). The thing about my mom is she’s into natural and alternative medicine. Everything can be cured with herbs and oils and magnets and reflexology and so on. She once tried to fix my DH’s bronchitis by having him inhale lavender oil. Need I say more?
