<p>I am a burning man. Nyquil on the rocks, please. Make it a double.</p>
<p>what’s the house special? can i have a double?
,please tell me other mom;s have had this reaction… oldest (25)has been with same gf for over 5 years and knew engagement was coming and very happy BUT he called to say he bought the ring and i have been “weepy” for last few days since. sense of loss, closing of a chapter…rather than happiness.</p>
<p>transitions, even happy ones, mean leaving something behind. Here, have a mimosa with your kleenex. Cheers!</p>
<p>Awwww…parent56!</p>
<p>It’s the end of an era, the end of his “childhood.” But think of the fun you’ll have at the wedding. 
Think of the grandchildren! ;)</p>
<p>And glad to see so much activity in this thread! I’m getting the broom out…somebody has to sweep up all the peanut shells!</p>
<p>Well, tequila may not be a vegetable, but Bloody Mary mix is. Bring it on!</p>
<p>mommusic! Step away from the broom! We are sinners!</p>
<p>Barkeep… a round for my friends as we congratulate and commiserate with parent56. Huzzah!</p>
<p>Wait, there’s a bar here? How did I miss that?</p>
<p><em>slowly raises head from the bar</em></p>
<p>Can I get another Nyquil over here?</p>
<p><em>plops head back into puddle of drool on bar</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Barkeep! Please bring this man a Nyquil.</p>
<p>Just started realtor course - 9 hours in one day. I’m wiped out. I’ll take a shot of tequilla with all the fixins and a marguerita chaser.</p>
<p>Thanks, DeniseC! </p>
<p>People like you are why the floor is so comfortably padded. :)</p>
<p>A nice sauvignon blanc here if anyone wants to join me. Very hot here today and I’m stressed out trying to get everything done before going on vacation…almost makes it attractive to stay home!</p>
<p>Something cool and refreshing here, please! Not quite sure what would hit the spot. </p>
<p>Some of that sauvignon blanc that ebeeeee is having, if you will, barkeep.</p>
<p>I just finished moving the furniture from, let’s see…5 rooms so the carpet can be cleaned tomorrow. The carpet is only 8 months old, but the lunatic dog ate a bar of soap and urped all over it. We didn’t know what she had eaten, so we were quite concerned when she urped and started foaming at the mouth!</p>
<p>mafool–I would almost like to have a dog, except for the idiotic tales my friends frequently regale me with.</p>
<p>A friend’s dog ate a head of cabbage the other day. Yes, a whole head of raw cabbage. Much tooting followed, I understand.</p>
<p>She said a while back he ate a whole raw chicken and was sick with salmonella for days. Ewwwww…</p>
<p>And I’ve known other dogs who gobbled down sweets, plastic wrappers and all. But soap? That’s one I haven’t heard!</p>
<p>You deserve TWO drinks.</p>
<p>Anytime my dog pukes, it’s neon yellow. I have no idea what he gets into that’s neon yellow, but I’m pretty sure that’s not the natural color of doggie yak.</p>
<p>Our dog puked only once, exactly 10 years ago, when he ate a mushroom in the backyard. We thought the pooch will die, but after 15 minutes of foaming at the mouth, he was perky and up and running. No visit to the vet was needed.</p>
<p>My cats… That’s a whole 'nother deal, as my H would say. To the chemists who formulated Spot Shot - please keep up your good work!</p>
<p>LOL, I once read something that was titled “Getting ready to be a cat owner”… step three was “pile cold oatmeal somewhere between your bed and the bathroom, and practice stepping in it at least once a month”</p>
<p>That is the best simulation of hairballs I’ve ever heard of.</p>
<p>Anyone wanna share this Steel Reserve with me? It’s “high gravity,” you know.</p>
<p>(ewww)</p>
<p>Pour me a cold one, it’s HOT tonight.</p>
<p>mommusic,</p>
<p>This was one of those natural, boutiquey soaps–made of stuff like oatmeal, honey, goatsmile, lavender or something like that (you know: food!). The dog doesn’t touch the grocery store stuff.</p>
