Hi friends

I feel as though I have been gone a very long time and have missed all of you very much.

I just returned from a 2 week trip for a trade show, and I leave again tomorrow for another week long trip! I am starting a new job, and I wish I was excited about it.

Before I left this last time, I changed the locks, cleaned the carpet, armed the alarm, changed the garage door code, and STILL my ever-resourceful 18 yr old managed to get inside. He and a few of his friends whooped it up, smoked some pot, etc. I was soooooo angry when I came home. His rationale is that he's sure I would rather he do this stuff in the safety of my home than out somewhere else. NOT. I don't want him to do this AT ALL. So, for this next trip I will advise the management company as well as the police dept that NO one is to be in my home while I am gone. I hope that it works this time, although I am seriously considering moving away so that my life and property are safe and secure !!

It's good to read the posts and catch up with all of you. Other than this latest episode of Stupid Teenager Tricks I am doing well.

Hugs to all

Osier,

Is the job right for you? Or is it the home scene that is getting in the way?

Many years ago, my parents left town and left my teenaged brother at home. I was older and gone by then. Anyway he threw a huge party and they hid the beer cans up above the ceiling panels (drop ceiling)

Imagine my folks surprise years later when they remodeled!!!!!

How old is your son?

Hi Osier,

It's so nice to have you back even for a short time. Thanks for updating us on things. It sounds like you have taken every precaution. Good luck on your new job and have a safe trip.

We remarked to a family friend that my crack addicted nephew could break into virtually any house. The friend denied this and since we were all going out of town for a day he agreed to house sit to prove us all wrong. Well this friend locked all the doors and windows, and the garage door, and remained very quiet in an upstairs bedroom watching TV. A few hours later at night he was very suprised to hear the garage door being opened from the outside, it was the crack addict breaking in. It turns out on some segmented garage doors you can press the top panel in enough even if it is locked, reach in and manually pull the release mechanism.

Morning Glory

Hi osier,

I've missed seeing you.

Hope things go better this next trip.

Hi Josier,
I've been thinking about you! Where
is that woman? Well, sounds like YOU
KNOW what you are doing. I've been
thinking the same thing, moving.
See you next time around

My mom and I were laughing the other day.... David Letterman has a segment on his show for Stupid Pet Tricks. I wonder if we could send in some material for Stupid Teenager Tricks???? Some of the things they do make me laugh. It boggles the mind that my son could think something all the way thru, from beginning to end - and STILL do it, believing it was going to make sense.

Then I realize that he's not doing it TO me, he's just doing it. And besides, what do we call the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing the same way and expecting different results. Works for him, works for me. Apparently we're both a little insane.

Thanks for the love and support.

I have missed your happy little face here the past while and am glad that you are okay. Hope this new job is everything you deserve and more.

I often think that if our kids could rechannel their energy into something good and productive what genius's they would be.

Keep yourself safe and stay in touch.

Hangin' In

Osier,

Good to see you here but sorry to hear of your teenager's stupid tricks! But I do think your idea of suggesting a segment of Stupid Teenager Tricks on David Letterman just might make the show. Good gosh, I could supply you with enough material for the first year. You pick up on the second year, with both of us demanding royalities, and we'll be set for life!!!

Hang in there, gal.
