How can I miss you when you won't go away?
 
Has anyone ever heard of Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks besides me?? There is a song by that title and I was humming it all the way to work today...

I need a good laugh...so how DO we make them go away?? Or how COULD we make them go away?? How to lose an addict in 10 days??

Glue the bottles caps on all the medicine bottles?

Use only electric radios??

Walk around the house singing all the time?

A Trading Spaces marathon?

Crackers in bed?

Flush while he is in the shower??

Sachets in his sock drawer?


Hugs,

Hmmm,
It would have to be serious.

No food in the fridge.
No hot water.
No telephone.
No TV.
If I had a man friend!!!!

No ice-cream!!

No use of the phone:confused:

Leave it To Beaver reruns.

Andy of Mayberry reruns.

Daily list of chores!!

Repeated singing of "50 Ways To Lose a Lover" (drives him nuts)

Don't talk - just sing the answers from any old song...Can I borrow $10?.."Oh I Ain't Got A Barrell Of Money, Maybe I'm ragged and Funny"...Is there ANYTHING to eat? "Yes We have No Bananas" la la

Watch Jeopardy reruns and shout out all the answers:D

And last but not least...smile a lot. No reason, just smile.

Ann 02-17-2003 07:00 PM

Oh I forgot one - file your nails...loud.

JT 02-17-2003 07:02 PM

It is a REAL song!! Search it...I have the album and then I got it on CD. I think I got the clip one time @ Borders.com.

Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks. Good Song! Right up there with "50 Ways to Leave your Lover"

I like these posts......give me a chance to be a vicious....

Give them a new ATM but no PIN

Always have empty ice cream cartons in the freezer

Take down the bathroom doors

Wallpaper the garage with the pages of the NA book

Always volunteer to ride with them to the store

Have the home phone number changed......every few days

Boy, this has felt good, I will keep thinking!

JT 02-18-2003 05:27 AM

Wear my helmit 24/7.

Start an Alanon group at my home on Saturday nights.

A Dr Phil Show marathon.

Show him where SR is and let him know what my name is.

Only phones with cords.

exhausted 02-18-2003 07:08 AM

Only pay phones!!!!!!

Paulie 02-18-2003 08:55 AM

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! You guys are killing me here.
One of my favorites is the wallpapering the with NA book pages, oh my gosh....that would have scared me in a second!!!!

I am laughing so hard I am almost crying!!!

How about replacing the videos in the porno sleeves with Barney? Or tapes of Oprah?

Or put the parental control on all the porn sites on the computer to re-direct those addresses to C-SPAN or something like that.

Chickie-

exhausted 02-18-2003 12:57 PM

No, no, no Chickie....replace them with the video "28 Days"...Dr. Phil, Opra and probably Barney are way over their head...they would never know they were suppose to be upset.:D

Ann 02-18-2003 02:05 PM

Read a recovery book - out loud.:D .

Leave them a phone message from "unknown" and the number is dial-a-prayer.

When they take your hormones, thinking they are Tylanol 3's, tell them they will grow breasts (this actually happened with my son and he checked for days!!)

pili7454 02-18-2003 02:17 PM

Oh my God, exhausted! I read your post at work and they asked me to keep it down of how loud I have laughed. Those were great!
I think I am going to try a couple of them........

JT 02-18-2003 02:24 PM

Start hanging out in the garage and reorganizing it.

All saran wrap...no foil.

Tell him you would like to "talk".

Buy tickets to the policeman's ball.

All channel surfing all the time.

Stay up later than he does.

Hugs,
JT
