Grandmother - Have boys. That way there is only one d*&k you need to worry about. With a daughter, you have to worry about all of them.

Told my daughter when she was dating, make sure and marry a rich guy with a big house, 'cause when I get old I'm coming to live with you. She and her hubby are doing all right, they're building a new 3,600 sq. ft. house in Florida. She knows I won't live in Florida. Too many, bugs, lizards, gators, snakes, hogs and most importantly, too many people.

Edit: I forgot the most important reason I wouldn't live in Florida, IT GET'S TOO F*^&&^%G HOT THERE 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR.

So she listened to your advice on the husband, however you also raised a smart daughter.

Yes she is, was a special ed teacher for 10 years. Her husband is very smart and successful. Was a European VP for a large American sporting apparel company, and he never attended college.

Oliver Prince Smith, was most noted for commanding the 1st Marine division during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, where he said:
"Retreat, hell! We're not retreating, we're just advancing in a different direction."

Sounds like something I'd say.... snow is a known alligator repellent...also a people repellent.....

Visiting kids in Philly and California, people often ask me if was from around there....

The kid that wouldn't allow my Silverado into the upper floors of the old parking garage in Old City Philly was a hoot.

Told him I had already been there twice with no attendant. Tight, but I could get it up there and back out. He said NO...that's WAY TOO BIG...

I offered to prove him wrong.....

He said "you're not from around here are you?!?!":cool::oops:

I guess it shows I'm from the sticks....I'm okay with that.

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
― Sun tzu, The Art of War
