I don't even answer my home phone anymore!!! Everybody I know uses my cell phone and the home phone is only for dial-up anyway. There's caller ID on it so when I check it's always telemarketer sounding stuff. They aren't gettin' through!

I think you'll get a kick out of this.

The boys got hungry early, so I just now made them an early lunch. Matthew was at the table working on his Language Arts and I cleared his work away and put a grilled cheese sandwich down for him. He said "Oh this is the life! If I was in public school, I'd be having to think about the long line I was gonna have to stand in to eat!" I laughed and recounted the only real FIGHT I got in when I was in elementary school, maybe 4th grade...

A kid named Randy Voss cut in front of me in the lunch line. I didn't hit him or anything, but I just grabbed him by his flaming red hair and bent him over backwards. He hollered and thrashed till a teacher came up to me and glared at me. I just held tight and glared back. A few minutes later, that teacher gave me three licks with a paddle in the office.

I laughed and said to Matthew "Funny thing is, by the time we graduated, Randy and I were pretty good friends!" Matthew replied "I bet he wasn't your friend, really...he was probably just scared of you."

ROFLOL!! I immediately thought "Corin has got to hear this."

I don't get solicitation cold calls since that national registry thing. I get a few from places like the my own phone company (companies you actually do business with aren't restricted), but no more chipped windshield or carpet shampoo people.

I should look back into that registry for my fax number. I get spam faxes.

There are so many traumas I didn't even know I suffered!

Steve actually signed up for a Discover Card, to get a free tee-shirt. GAVE them our unlisted phone number.

I could throttle him.

I never thought about it either, but Matthew did! When I pushed his schoolwork over to one side and plopped his food down right in front of him! LOL

He's so funny.

I hear people say (and I don't mean to get into a debate about it) that paddling kids in the school system makes them respect the authority. I know if I ever met the woman that whacked me, I'd wanna tell her I still think to this day that she is an bald-faced HAG. It's one of the many reasons I won't go back for any reunions.

But I know that's just me. I got a lot of anger and resentment in me stemming from my school daze. That's just the way it is.

I tell ya, though...better not anyone EVER lay a hand on my jedis.
