ok....that was rad.

Hey, now the whole family can go on Oprah! 

Hey, report cards just came today in the mail.  Too bad the girls didn't know about this letter, no really, they made great grades - they take after their smart mom.  If they followed me they would have gotten straight Cs with a comment from the principle - Bobby has an attention span problem (no ritalin either dammit - just didn't pay attention!) In high school it got worse, straight C's because of lust.  Back then it was tube tops, short shorts and ho red toe nail polish.  That's right!!!  Ho Red polish along with a pink tube top and short shorts made me get a C in English, all I could say was hubbabubba hubbabubba hubba.  Hee hee   It got better when I entered cemetery!  Yee Haw. 

Tube tops, man that takes me back. I loved how easy you could pull them down and get to the bare facts, so to speak. What about halter tops? Man I miss the 70's. I miss being young in the 70's.  Youth is wasted on the young, although since I have lost so much weight I am feeling 20 years younger.  pan head

What a nightmare scenario! My daughter's 11 and thinking about situations like this already keep me up at night. Thanks for the (semi) happy ending.   DD
