Reasons one should not watch tv this late

Oh that is such a hard situation...I can't imagine the pain the family is going through...murder and suicide would be SO hard. Not saying that anything is easy...trust me it isn't, but I just don't know how some people deal. My niece's best friend committed suicide at 13 years old and she really hasn't been the same since. If affects your whole life. She was a beautiful, smart girl with extremely caring parents...but she had literally been dealing with depression since she was in 3rd grade and people tend to overlook someone that young. Just so sad!
 
Oh how horrible, guys! :cry:

Cin, how bittersweet. I hope your daughter takes comfort in the fact that he loved her still. Such a sad yet lovely memory of their time together.

Ping-we live in a small town and we hear different things. We're extremely private people. Hubby coaches football and wrestling and has coached pee wee baseball. We don't go to events in this little town or much anywhere else for that matter. We're kinda like a mystery to the busy bodies. We didn't grow up here and they don't know us personally so they speculate.

I don't normally go to the practices but I go to the games. Mom, dad, and I sit in our own lawnchairs. One day I happened to be sitting on the bleachers before a game. I had some lady sitting behind me with another one of the town's gossipers. I heard them whispering, saying "That's her! That's the coach's wife, I think!" The other lady was like "Who is she?" I turned my head around and was staring them both straight in the face. They had this "look" on their faces. One of 'em got bold and said, "We didn't even think you existed," with a smirk. I replied, "So you thought he made the boys all by himself? I poked holes in the condoms when I knew he'd be giving me the 'big one.'" I held my hands out like hubby's junk was a foot long :laughing: The bold one was like, "C'mon, Brenda, don't talk to her. She's crazy!" I did exactly what this smiley is doing :laughing:
 
OH...don't tell me about small town life...I have lived in one all my life! So I know all about it ~ this is no lie, the morning that Pam died and they hadn't even gotten her out of the house yet...well, they had just gotten ahold of me and my other sister, Karen, but we hadn't gotten ahold of Daddy yet...we literally hadn't known for over 15 minutes when my sister's phone rings ~ it is a lady that the family knows, but isn't extremely close to. She had heard it on the scanner and called to see if it was "our" Pam! Didn't miss telling Karen by much...she could have very well been the one to have gotten ahold of Dad...I just don't get it! Why not call someone "not" related to the person??? Geez.........
 
OK that was extremely rude and self-serving! And what is it with the police scanners in a small town? I always hear someone saying "well, they were on my police scanner." I always wanna say, "Well, maybe they'd appreciate you keeping your trap shut and not telling people that!"

And for the record, I don't think I've ever been on someone's police scanner :laughing:

And I never poked holes in the condoms. I ain't bat-sh!t crazy :booty"

:laughing: I live in a small town also. pop~ 4000.. one of those towns that if ya havent lived here your whole life you are an outsider. whatever. :popcorn: I dont like fitting in anyway.
 
I think our whole town has a population of 1,200 people if that! We live in the country, on the outskirts of this small town so we're not even in the town. I like it that way.

And I'm like you. I don't care what they think or if we fit in. In fact, I know we really don't. This is John Deere country and we're not farmers. But I do show everyone respect and that's all I ask for in return.
 
Well, my husband and I both were born and raised here ~ believe it or not we are both as rednecked as they come :laughing: I will bite my tongue when it is going to affect my kids ~ they shouldn't have to pay for my beliefs ~ period! I will try to do things the "right way" until I don't have that option anymore. Jimmie just jumps over the "right way" option and goes for the throat. I am always trying to get him to control his temper and telling him that it will be his kids that pay, not him! We are old ~ they have to live with his reputation for the rest of their lives ~ especially in this town!!

He will get out of the car and I will turn to the kids and I'm like "you know that isn't right, right!" I just don't want them growing up that hotheaded. It is fine to protect yourself, but I don't expect them to start the trouble over stupid crap :nono:

While I am keeping an eye on the weather, I am watching TV while doing my sweeps. People shouldn't watch TV this late why? Because, they watch infomercials and want everything they see!!

I have wanted a magic bullet (not that, get your mind out of the gutter) for a long time now and just watched the infomercial again. I want the machine even more now.

Our last storm prompted me to now want the nu wave oven. :nono:

There should be a disclaimer not to watch television so late at night. I really should be in bed, very tired but, I want to watch the storm info.

Any infomercials ever get to you? Thank goodness King of the hill is now on, lol.

I saw the sweep for the magic bullet yesterday and forgot to tell her!

Ping-love me some rednecks :laughing: Rednecks have better things to do than talk behind one's back or gossip. Some of the sweetest people I've ever met and don't care what others think of them. Gotta love that!

And rednecks sure know how to cook!! Well, maybe not you LMAO My hubby's redneck co-worker always spit-roasts a hog every summer, in his homemade pit. We had a blast last summer. I had him drinking some of my micro brews and he tried getting me to drink his Old Milwaukee's Best LOL Needless to say he was dying for me to try eating some of the hog's head. I finally gave in and started picking and eating the meat, only to realize I was eating the hog's a$$ :booty"
 
Woohoo! Thanks Amy. I was entering for the one Celeb cafe had but, doesn't look like I won. :scratch:

Population discussion- I come from a town of close to 1/2 million residents (Bakersfield, CA) but, I now live in a town with roughly 500-600 people tops and yes, it's like cheers...everyone knows your name and knows what you are doing even when you don't want them to know. :nono: :laughing:

Well, we've even got the old vehicles in the yard ~lol! We have my husband's 67 Chevy truck that he is getting ready to redo, and then we have the spare part Chevy truck :laughing: We are country folk, but our neighbors try to live like they are in the city...they HATE us! We grill out and mow our own grass :crazytongue: We also fix our own stuff...they don't! Plus, sit down for this one, we let our kids get D I R T Y!!! :nono: It is like they don't own water or something :laughing:

:laughing: I did all that when I was in CA in the city. I married a redneck, what can I say? Dirt and grease is a normal thing for us, thank goodness for showers and washing machines!

BTW, hubbys uncle gave him a riding mower the other day, he is enjoying his new toy...MEN.... :laughing: It was actually getting costly paying people to mow our lawn (almost 3 acres) so I am glad he got it. No old vehicles in the yard and I try to keep the place cleaned up. My landlord only mowed once in awhile but, I don't blame him. It wasn't his job to do it.

It's nothing in the south that many stereotype it to be. I am always getting after people for assumptions. You should hear some of the things I have heard or been told. Movies can be terrible for the Southern residents. Not refering to you at all completelyme, you just made me think of this.

And yes, Southerners are the best freaking cooks you will ever meet! I soooo wish I could cook as well as many of them do and everything is from scratch. OMG I gain 50lbs everytime I go to a gathering. And plus, even if you are not family, you are still treated like it.

I just get kinda lonely here but, I love this place. Beats Cali hands down!
 
OMG...all of you can come to our family reunion...we turn noone away ~lol!! We have a big ol' gathering every Labor Day weekend ~ we get together eat, talk, and then the pickin' begins! Nowhere in the earth that I had rather be than with that group of people! You will never meet a better bunch of people!

My Momma's parents really were dirt poor and had 7 kids ~ but they are the best people I have ever been around. Ya know, we all have our problems but there is real love there and you can feel it! We grew up in a great time...we didn't have gobs of "stuff" from the family ~ just gobs of "love"! I'll take the love anyday over the stuff!!

Oh, btw...the best cooks you have ever seen! My Momma was one of them ~ I just don't know what happened to me :laughing:

I was thinking about this today as I was making the kids a milkshake in my year-old blender. So, Miki, if I win, I will give it to you as well. I like to see someone who REALLY wants something to have it.

What's funny, Ping is that we do that too. We grill out and we mow our own grass, and we don't get our lawn sprayed for weeds. The area I live in is chock full of Honda workers who think they're living in Brentwood. In the Summer, we have our friends(hillbilly drunks) over and I cook a mad feast and get a couple of kegs :laughing: We pitch tents in the backyard so no one has to drive and we spend the day pitchin' horseshoes. Our kids get filthy and catch frogs and lightening bugs and wash up with the hose :laughing:

We don't go on vacation every year, I don't make exotic dinners, our cars were bought used and are paid for, but we feel we have so much more, because we "get it." Life isn't supposed to be about impressing others. My babies go to bed every night content and happy. Life is good! :love:
