Re: Agony!

Well, what I neglected to say was that there will not be many more of that quality at that price. So, go ahead and feel bad. LOL.

They have a bunch more, sweetie, maybe there is something that takes your fancy? I hate to see you miss out!

Honey, even double the price would be worth it. It was a 10.99 bead. Almost any piece of glass is worth that.

Sooz:

I finally figured out why your name was familiar! I've been lurking here off and on for months!! ROFL!!

I was glad to help you out. I know how a certain bead can just leap off the screen at you and scream "BUY ME!" Of course, shortly thereafter I have my medications adjusted again.... but I understand! :) All I ask is that you send me a shot of whatever it turns into.... I'm curious to see what you'll create.

Now if only I could find the person who got my Goofball bead last week so that I could try groveling...... sigh.

You're the buyer? Hey cool! You are such a sweetie to sell that to Sooz. Welcome to the group.

Well, way to enter with a bang! We all have to like you now, you've already proved you're NICE!!

Kalera, Thanks! I try to be very nice. Except when I am being the meanest mom in all creation. Or when I'm at work. Or before 10 a.m. Or if I run out of Diet Dr Pepper Or if I'm wearing camoflage or....

OK, ok..... Sooz just caught me at a good nano-second of time!

LOL!!! ;)

Hey, I thought *I* was the meanest mom in all creation!

We might have to battle it out. I suggest a chocolate-eating contest.

You folks aren't even in the running. When DD lost her retainer, not only did I make her earn the money to replace it, I made her call the dentist, tell him that she was careless and lost it, and she had to make the appointment to get a new retainer. Then she had to walk the mile to the dentist's office.

I want to add: "she had to walk uphill, both ways, in the rain," but that wouldn't be true.

Making a child responsible for handling the consequences of their actions???

What is the world coming to? You *are* the meanest mommy ever!

(What's next, a well-adjusted capable young adult?!)

I find that object lessons are so much more effective than repeating myself over and over....

A few weeks ago we had a real cold snap here in Minnesota. Michael hates wearing a jacket (I understand, so do I ) HOWEVER, when the air temp is 20 degrees below zero, jackets are pretty much a must have item. I had to go to the store, told Bop to grab his jacket and go out to the van. I came out 30 seconds later and asked him where his jacket was. He said, the van is still warm, I don't need a jacket. (we'd just come home from work/school). I told him he was going to get cold, he replied, no I'm not. I said FINE. On your head be it. After 45 minutes of grocery shopping, the van was no longer warm. I had a shivering little boy on the drive home (the drive from the gocery store to home is 2.2 miles.... lest anyone be thinking of calling child protection services.) Just long enough for him to say, "I wish I had my jacket". I said, "I TOLD you to bring a jacket, you chose not to listen to me. Maybe next time I tell you to do something you'll listen." mean, horrible, terrible mom.

On the plus side, he is trained to do laundry (washer and dryer) and takes care of his dog. :)

I think we need a special handshake, so we can tell that we're members of the same club.

BTW, eventually, they get too clever for the "be cold in the car" trick. My DD bought herself an electric blanket that plugs into the cigarette lighter, so she's toasy warm on the ride to school, jacket or not.

She wears a jacket, but that's no thanks to us. Her school has a mulfuntioning heating system, and there is no heat in one wing of the building. The school is scheduled to be torn down at the end of the school year, so they see no reason to replace the furnace, which is the only fix or the problem, or so we've been told. She wears a jacket in class and keeps three hooded sweatshirts in her locker for especially cold days.

Sooz,

Glad it got there, and it lived up to your expectations!

Re: extras.... hey, there was room in the envelope, and I hate wasted space ;)LOL!!!

Enjoy!
