Faye, I have learned over the years to pick my battles with my kids, otherwise I'd be in a mental facility by now with Kristin Fisher overseeing my care. All you can do is teach them right from wrong, morals, and share your own life lessons with them when they are older so that maybe when they get to that crossroads they remember what their mother told them. You can have the most perfect kid growing up and as soon as they leave home it all falls apart...or you can have a child that tests those boundaries and learns there are consequences so they make better choices as adults. All you can hope is that you are doing the right thing at the time. We have always referred to our oldest as the test subject and she's paving the way for how we handle the same things with the others when they do it.

As for doing homework and grades, we don't have to wait until report cards come home, we have a login and password so we can check our kids grades at any time throughout the year...so for us we can see when they are slacking off before it gets to the point they are doing poorly. It also helps knowing the driver's license is a priviledge not a right.

Kristen WB - Don't be fooled by what you read. I pay a dollar for everytime I'm mentioned on the message board. 2 dollars if it's something nice. Also, if you see the initials GT, that's not me. Jolee can explain that to you!

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Kristen WB~ The whole GT/BT thing came about this past weekend when I referred to Erik and Anders as "the good twin and the bad twin." If Anders so chooses to speak up, he can give you a more clear cut definition. Right Anders?!?! (I think Erik kind of likes the title...). I may be inaccurate though....

DJ GT~ Now THAT is Greg...what time tomorrow? 1145?

Faye and Kristin FR~ So good to catch up. If you pull that Palin crap on me again I'm going to have to decline further meetings...ewwwwwww! (Have fun Monday you two!)

Kristin Fisher (Rush)

I had a great time at lunch today too! I promise i wont do that again but for the record...its all Faye's fault. Get her on a subject and watch it roll!! Just kidding! Great conversations and educational for some! LOL!! Faye i do have some books at the house i will share with you. I know of a place (on the internet too) where you can get some toys. Just let me know. I will stop now before i have people all freaked out. = ) Of course we are talking about our kids.
I am going to try and make it tomorrow.

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Kristin FR!!!! Faye is going to KILL you!! I'm going to send her some videos too...of course, they are um, yeah, for the kids. Watch out people, Faye is going to be WILD!

Oh, by the way....Erik, maybe you ought to email Madeline's teachers...out of the two emails I sent...it changed on of her D's to a C!! Upon further investigation, one of Kenzie's grades had not been entered...which brought her grade up! If I hadn't emailed the teacher to have her let me know where Kenzie was screwing up, she would not have seen it!

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Turbo~ If an ex husband and one helluva counselor haven't changed this "good girl gone bad," I wouldn't count on it. I'll just stick with "Curious George" as you so fondly referred to President Obama.

I have often heard that "hositility is often a form of sexual frustration...I've got those DVD's on RUSH order Faye!

Erik Goacher

Trina-thanks for the encouragement. Your husband sounds like a great guy.

Jolee-I plan on emailing Madeline's teachers. Maybe I'll get some of that nice grade changing as well!

She really is a good kid, just loses focus sometimes, which is frustrating. The teachers' comments about her are things like "cooperative, respectful, delightful" mixed with "failed to turn in all assignments, inconsistent in her work". I'm really not a hard-ass (got one but I'm not one! Ha ha...just kidding & trying to lighten things up!), & I'm not pushing her to be someone she is not, but I do want her to give it her best shot. Anywho, we'll have a nice, calm talk this evening & at the end of it she'll know that I love her as always, but I want a better effort from her in school.

Thanks for listening & advising.

Faye Sowers (Crute)

Jolee oh girl you are a hoot, President and OBAMA in the same sentence is the problem I have here.......wasn't obama that terrorist..........okay point made.........now I would never want to change you on any other point except voting for him and he does have ears resembling okay..........vote for Paul vote for Clinton vote for powell but there are so many points of concern about voting for him.............

don't worry I don't take offense about the sexual frustration I could do a whole topic on that but I guess all I need to say is no one goes hungry in the house. Just get me those videos to make sure I am doing everything correctly.......:)

what is sarcasim a form of? that is the illness I have

you go Erik what a dad..........way to stay on top of those things.........and its always nice when someone can boast of a hard ass as opposed to someone who is a tight ass.......maybe that is what i am an uptight ass is there such a thing.........

11:45 tomorrow for whoever is coming. I'm walking over so I'll get a table for four. If anyone else is coming let me know.

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Greg, who else do you have besides me and Stef?

10/23/08 05:05 PM #1027    

Ken Haines

I'm not sure what all these references are for videos but they sound like maybe something I should have a look at as a newly single man...

I have not voted in 16 years and never voted for a major party candidate but I have registered to vote this year. Nor sure who I will be voting for. Pretty sure I can't vote for McCain. While I have some sympathy for the general platform philosophy of Republicans (smaller government, lower taxes, the private sector is a more efficient allocator of capital than government, economic freedoms) I cannot look at the record of McCain or the republican party and believe that they really believe in this philosophy. The actions, particularly the banking bailout, have confirmed the worst stereotypes of republicans as friends of the rich. Privatize the profits, socialize the losses. Plus I'm not too keen on government invading my private life. Maybe libertarianism is for me this year.

Important Question?!?!? What are we gonna do with Faye once Obama wins this election? I'm afraid she'll try to assasinate him. Should we warn the democratic party or should we get her help now. Faye-Please don't do it, we want to see you at the next reunion.

Greg-I will probably get there around noon and since it's Friday, I plan to just stay there and drink all day. Hope you two can join me. Oh and don't worry about being banned from Martins, they will be begging Jolee to dance again. The crowd went wild, the restaurant mgr. wanted to hire her but b/t the reunion committee, her job at the college and being a parent, she wasn't sure if she could give it 100% like she did that night. Your tab is up to $286.00 now (I've kept track of all the nice things I've said along with the times I've mentioned your name. Wish I could think of some more nice things to say since it's double the pay).

Jolee-What if you were to tell Kinzie you talked to the principal and have decided to hold her back a year bc of her unacceptable grades. You can play it up like you believe it is best for her. You can finish it off by telling her if her grades change then you may reevaluate the situation. That would suck to any kid-not graduating w their friends, etc.....Yeah, it's a lie but hey, if it works. Hell, once again, I don't.......About the pole, I've already got one in every room so I can't add anymore. I was hoping to have 2 in one of the rooms so that I could swing back and forth from one to the other. You should see the routine I worked so hard to master, it was great! The construction workers really liked it too but the dang disco ball was in the way. Oh and by the way, I'm practicing a lot these days bc I am auditioning for the next "Rock of Love". Wish me luck!..... I'm glad to know Greg sold my video to Walmart. he told me it wouldn't sell. I guess he's sittin' pretty w the proceeds. Why didn't I sign a contract?!?!?

Kristen WB-Are you saying I need more practice on the pole? You obviously haven't seen my video. Ask Jolee if you can borrow her copy and then let me know what you think. You will be telling Kim K. to watch my DVD for a tips on the pole.

Trina- I hope you feel better! Since our wild weekend out, everyone seems to be hurting. Maybe we need to get ourselves back in party shape by going out once a month. Then 4 weeks later, we will all feel better and be ready to do it again. By the time our 24th reunion(as Dean P. calls it), our tolerence will be where it needs to be or I'll be in the Betty Ford Clinic or maybe even a nursing home.

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Oh my dear, dear Stef...I don't think there's enough beer in the fridge or PEZ dispensers with Xanax in it to go into that brain of yours for 24 hours. Where the hell do you come up with this stuff?? I will see you there...

And Kenzie loved the holding back a year...she said now she doesn't have to go to school anymore until next year...she refuses now...and she can graduate with Madeline...and another girl that I just found out I know her parents...her dad is Neal..they named their daughter Neil...and when Kenzie was little...she called her "Happy Neal." Had nothing to do with living off of McDonalds for so long...so anyway, thanks Stef...my kid is dropping out of school...

Anyhoo....can't wait to see anyone at Martin's. Going to watch Grey's Anatomy and see me some Dr. McDreamy...

Later taters!

Faye Sowers (Crute)

Steph, thanks for worrying about me BUT if he wins don't worry I will be in the foxhole because as Biden says we will have another attack within the first 6 months. I don't wish OBAMA harm I just wish he would not run for president. Clinton deserved the nomination alot more than he but as a person that never followed the popular vote I have to stand for my beliefs. I am a Christian and not ashamed.

You guys and gals have a groovy lunch tomorrow I will be knee deep in the bubblewrap that I am taking to Maggie's school for STOMP OUT DRUG day so they get to stomp the bubbles and yell at the same time. I will miss you all but have a great time. Peace out! Turbo

10/23/08 08:53 PM #1033    

Stefanie Lugar

Faye- Dito! I agree w/ your thoughts on Clinton. I was rooting for her, but no, it has to be another man.

10/23/08 09:36 PM #1034    

Stefanie Lugar

Jolee-Sorry Kenzie has decided to drop out of school. Why would you listen to me anyway? You know I'm challenged! Send her to Coyner Springs, hell I don't know. Write Dr. Phil and see what he thinks. Maybe you can go on the show. I'll keep thinking and let you know what I come up with. lol. If she is staying out for the remainder of the year, do you think I could hire her to do some work around my house? I don't get anything done anymore bc I'm always reading/writing on the forum.

10/23/08 10:22 PM #1035    

 

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

Stef~
In case you missed out on a key point...Kenzie is LAZY!!! She isn't dropping out...I would ship her ass off first..all's good in the hood...speaking of HOOD...the dog pic is a TRIP! I will have to replace the Home Page pic with that one....if it's okay with you....

DJ GT~
Add Anders to the lunch mix tomorrow. He texted me...and is coming. I don't think he told anybody else, just me. Nope, no one...me, me, me.

Going to bed...later taters...

10/23/08 10:24 PM #1036    

 

Jolee Clarke (Preston)

That's President Obama Turbo....

GT~ You coming to lunch tomorrow? You are awful close to Martin's to turn down such entertainment. Stef has promised us all her Lugar Cougar dance...I'm bringing my camera, of course.

10/23/08 10:29 PM #1037    

 

Faye Sowers (Crute)

I will never address him as President sorry I call it like I see it he has terrorist ties so I am sure he will not be offended by me calling him OBAMA I will give him as much respect as all the Bush haters have shown him.......nighty nite............love out!

Steph - LOVED THE TANNER PICTURE !!

10/24/08 07:41 AM #1039    

Trina Schossow (Folden)

Kristin, Jolee, Turbo...wish I could have made lunch yesterday, though I already know what a BJ is.

Steph...you're right, no tolerance anymore. Huge difference from being "the fish" in high school. I certainly could drink back then. Love Tanner's pic.

Have fun at Martin's today all, Steph can drink my allotment. Call if you need a ride!! (-:


10/24/08 08:47 AM #1040    

Greg Terry

Jolee - Right now I have you, Stef, maybe Kristin, and me. That's 4. If you were serious about your secret interest showing up I will make it 5. Just wink once if it's true or twice if it's wishful thinking. Anyone else? All are welcome and Stef promises to make it a memorable lunch.
