The Vent - Part 2

[Krikit 1,164]

Ethan is 10. That's what really made me upset. This kid is 14 and throwing kids who are that much younger than him down to the ground.

Oh well now the police are now involved.

You did the right thing, Nev.

And something triggered my hives again. It's either the mashed potatoes or the gravy from Swiss chalet.

I have a package of SC dipping sauce in my cupboard..... is this what you were referring to?..... the dipping sauce and not the gravy? Anyway, here is the ingredients list:

modified cornstarch

salt

tomato powder

chicken fat

spice

dextrose

caramel colour

onion powder

garlic powder

silicon dioxide

I AM BORED ALL THE TIME...ALL I DO IT SEEMS IS DISHES AND WATCH TELEVISION AND THE WEATHER BLOWS

Enjoy it while it lasts!

My vent is that the thermostat for the a/c has died so it is hot as hades in here. I spent all day Saturday trying to troubleshoot it, and all day Sunday trying to find a replacement. (My husband had to return to work for an emergency so I've been trying to play man-about-the-house. )

Anyway, yesterday we borrowed the same thermostat from the neighbour across the street to see if it would work in ours. It doesn't. So now I am going to google how to check the wiring. And then I will call in the experts. bah

Charles, any truth to the rumor that you are represented by the firm of Sturm, Ruger and Co. Is your favorite hockey team the Blackhawks? By any chance do you have a pet Anaconda with a combat grip. Just remember that you don't have to be a Marine to have a Marine Defender.

actually, a ruger is one of the few makes i don't have. i'm quite partial to winchester, remington, and s&w.

the .44 mag is a model 629, stainless, but it has pachmayer grips

Trash should be kept in the dump, it shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets.

hey be nice, she's a beneficiary of my cigarette smoking!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I mean the woman was in my face waving her finger and going on and on about how immature my son was and how I need to stay out of his life and let him fight his battles.

What a dweeb of a woman...i mean really, this isn't the wild west.

No, it's not, it's New Jersey! Far worse than the wild west.

This doesn't surprise me, Nev. Sorry that Ethan has to go through it though. I probably would have hit her!

Older people love Swiss Chalet, I think the prices are pretty good and everyone loves comfort food. Roasted chicken, fries, gravy, pie, etc. Their fries are pretty good though, but I stopped going there when they discontinued their veggie burger on the menu. It was so yummy and every time I took my Granny it gave me an option on the menu. All that was left was perogies, which were pretty good too. But now I go elsewhere, no more SC. I do buy the packs of gravy to make at home for the hubby, he loves that shiz.

It's more upsetting that they don't even live here anymore, yet he's still here every single day. They live in a hotel down the road... go back to your red roof inn #######.

Hitting her would have just shown Ethan that it's okay to use physical violence, he was standing right there.

He's not allowed back in the neighborhood and if I see him again, I am allowed to call the police and report him.

What, no Colt, are you sure that you're not a Democrat.

.44 mag, model 629 is a nice piece, I would ask you what kind of butt you have but given your penchant for pornographic material, that's not a good idea. Stainless steel barrels have a reputation for distorting under constant use or extreme cold but I assume you only need to hit the target once. Of course if you burn through 20 speed loaders full of Buffalo Bore 340 gr ammo to hit the target at the gunrange, maybe one of the 16 inch guns from the deck of the Missouri might be more useful for home defence.

Good for you. The toothless one is trying to goad you into a fight, no need to lower yourself to her level. Why end up in court or jail for a piece of garbage, you're better than that Nev. Was the little maniac doing this when they lived in the area or is this a new thing? Call the police every single time the maniac shows up and write down every occasion when you do, it might prove to be useful down the road.

Sadly, he was a great kid last year. But then his parents divorced and now his mom and him are in a hotel. You know the story. It's sad.

It's hard when you watch friends of your children transform, and it's around this age it starts to happen.

You deserve even more kudos, St. Neve of New Jersey sounds about right. Maybe that kid will be scared straight. Was the Mom always so belligerent or it this too a new thing?

[Sprailenes 47]

I never even knew who she was until yesterday. We never had problems. They lived a few blocks over, so I never met her. The kid would just come around to play hockey with Ethan once in a while. Now he's picking on kids younger than he is. This is the first incident with Ethan, and hopefully the last.

While the mother and I argued her son stood behind her and was swearing at me calling me names. My son stood behind me quietly and didn't say a word. Shows you right there the boundaries she has for her son.

I would never swear at another adult ever as a child. I knew to respect my elders.

That's horrible!

Sounds like the changes in his family have obviously brought issues. You definitely did the right thing.

That's appalling! Reading everything you said I'm stuck trying to decide whether to be angry at the little snot for his obvious lack of respect and anger issues or feel bad for him due to his mother not having an parental skills. Wow....just wow...

[Sprailenes 47]

I am the type of person to react on emotion first and yesterday I was really angry.... but today I just kind of feel bad for him because obviously he's just misguided. It doesn't excuse what he did, but he is in for a life of trouble if he doesn't turn around now.

Isn't my problem though, I have my own child to raise and that's a full time job on top of my full time job.

No, I meant the gravy that does on the mashed potatoes.

I've had the sauce during my 6+ weeks of having hives and it doesn't bother me.

The only other thing that's made my face swell is Chipotle Tabasco sauce, and it has no colouring in it.

It's such a mystery.
