They have a very good taste in clothing. No warranty. Sold as is. I'll pay you to take them. Edited to add: They do have a job.

Wayne SW/MO Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Can't help you, I'm too old to handle the stress and my son has one, with another in training. If he survives them I'm sure my grand daughter make him wish they were back. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Terry Beeson Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Hey Ronnie... careful... you may get a newer model which means MORE years before they leave the nest... I'm on my "second batch" now. Raised two through their teenage years and now have another one getting to the teenage stage. It is amazing how deaf (TV volume where the folks in Ozark can hear it), blind (step over trash and junk she drops on the floor), mute (ask a question and get NO answer) they can be. Lazy doesn't hang when I'm around. She gets by with her mom a lot, but I don't allow it. But she has NO concept of the meaning of even the loudest screaming "NOW!" coming from my vocal chords. And heaven forbid she put something up or in the trash where it belongs. She gets through with it and drops it wherever she is at the moment... and never goes back to get it... then complains when she can't find it... OK... soapbox clear... next?!

davekeim Posted June 23, 2007 Posted June 23, 2007 Hang in ther Rusty! Things seem to start changing around 17-18 years old. Start shutting off the funds and watch them become productive. I have two girls. Now 26 and 22. Just had the youngest move out May 18th. Gee I miss her! Tell someone to buy my house in STL so we can move to Table Rock Lake! Signed, Cardiac Abdito!

(And I would, too, 'cept those jeans cost me $35.00!!!) $35.00, thats all? I thought jeans today cost $95.00? And already have wear marks and holes in them.
gonefishin Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 If my body were a car, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I 've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull ... But that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter.....either my radiator leaks or my exhaust backfires, this is the time I would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I would rather be fishin'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." Benjamin Franklin, 1759
