Haha maybe I will. I think the bike is a tad more expensive lol

I'll have to hint at my grandad
Hopefully he'll catch on and give me some money towards it.

My grandad would grumble and say no, I was a spoiled child and then secretly give the money to nan or mum to give to me, or buy the bike and the deny it was anything to do with him.

I still like offering, plus being an old lady plus living where I do, folks here are much more open to allowing you to help.

What I really love is seeing one of my children stepping up to offer somebody.

Absolutely!! I will continue to offer till there is no heartbeat left in me.

 

[Momof4]

Kathy, what time should we plan to be there?

Anytime, it's 5 o'clock somewhere!

 

[Momof4]

To stop me and my siblings killing each other lol

No, it's because of my little sister.

I don't mind though as my nan babysits and she brings tons of sweets with her

Ask your nan what you could do for her to earn some cash?

 

[Momof4]

I'm so over this humidity!! I'm stuck in the house! I check on the little one every 10 minutes and he's just grazing away but I'm sweating!!

 

[DawnH]

I'm so upset.
I really want a bike and I found a really nice bmx. There's just 1 problem: it's £206.

I have no money as I am a teen and I spent all my birthday and Christmas and pocket money mostly on spud. I currently have £0.

My parents refused to pay and said I'll have to work for money.
They said they would pay £10 a week for me to walk the dog every day.
I get £10 every three weeks pocket money. That all adds up to 4 months work!!!!

If it takes me 4 months then I would have missed summer and I wouldn't be able to go out all the time on it

Any ideas how else I can make money?

I am a meanie butt and don't pay my kids for chores. My thought is, you are a productive member of this family and keeping your room clean, your clothes washed and put away, your bathroom clean, clearing the table, setting the table, loading the dishwasher, etc is part of being a productive member of society. I will pay for extras though. Washing my car, the windows - stuff like that. If I were YOU I would go to my neighbors and start a dog walking business. If you dog is social, might as well pick up a few other pooches and have them walk with you. Or if your dog (or the neighbors) prefers to be alone, you can go that route and do them separate. Mow lawns. Wash cars. Go through your room and have a garage sale with all of your old clothes/toys/whatever and use that money (make sure your Mom approves the things you are selling first!) There are lots of ways you can make up the money and next thing you know... you will be cruising on your new bike!

 

[DawnH]

I don't really know my neighbours well enough.

I COULD WEED EVERYONES GARDENS!!!! Free food for spud!

Now's the time to meet them. Make a flier, wear some clean clothes and a SMILE and put those feet to work! You can do it!

Boob sweat. The number one suckage of being a tort mom...

 

[Momof4]

As I'm whining about humidity both kids are jogging! My 11yr old has to run 10mi by July 6th because his practices are cancelled this week.
I gave him my Fitbit so we could record it. I can't wait to see how far he got

 

[Momof4]

Hopefully burning more calories too!

 

[Momof4]

Dry heat is so much more tolerable!

Ok, done whining.

All this boobie sweat talk makes me, ummm…glad to be a man, yeah, we'll go with that, sounds plausible …

 

[Elohi]

EWWWW! Hahaha

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

EWWWW! Hahaha

You going to the margarita party at Kathy's house Monica, you and Dawn could ride together. Dawn makes some killer guacamole is the word on the street.

There's a thunderstorm nearby. The lightning just scared my dog and the crazy tortoises are all running around

I'm curious about something:

I was looking at all the friends someone had accumulated on their facebook page and quite a few of the pictures had a rainbow superimposed over their faces. Does this mean those people are gay?

I also was wondering about that myself. I don't have TV nor pay attention to news, even through the web. I'm clueless as to what is going on.

No it means they support equality for the LGBQT community.
-thumbs up-

 

[Yvonne G]

Ah...thank you!

 

[Elohi]

Here is my mine. There is an app that is built into fb that overlays the rainbow on your profile picture with like 2 clicks. It became available as a celebratory thing when marriage equality hit the news.
I consider myself a straight ally.
