I have got no complaints parents wise, they are both friendly, intelligent, salt of the earth individuals who would do anything for me if I needed it. They have both worked hard all their lives andI was never left needy for anything when I was growing up,financially or emotionally.
When either of them eventually passes away I will be devastated.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.

I don't put my houseguests up there, there are people already living there...Maybe next time you're expecting guests you could offer to make reservations at the Holiday Inn for them. ::gigg::
Yeah that only works part way, believe it or not. Example: Guest comes to town and reservations are made, they find out how much rooms cost here AT THE BEACH (remember, I live in a tourist area and prices are higher) and they decide two days at the hotel is enough and then quite boldly proclaim they're bunking either on my living room FLOOR like savages or on my couch - like slobs.
I tried bitching and whining how it's going to cost me $80 / day to kennel the one dog because he can't be kept locked in a crate for days on end (yes the kennel is better! he even loves it there - I found a great one that caters to bully breeds) and it will cause me to make a trip 35 miles away TWICE. Most times this works. The really stupid people who it did not work on now get to have the dog crated in the same room as they sleep. This has worked on those stubborn, rude and insensitive people.
Now I just solved it by saying, "I have two pit bulls but if you're comfortable around aggressive dogs you can stay. Just don't get loud or make any sudden moves toward me like touching me or waving your hands around while getting loud in conversation and you'll be OK."
Works like a charm.
I wouldn't mind so much if I were still living on the farm in a bigger house with a proper guest room and second bathroom but I live in a very tiny house by the beach. I just find the nerve of some to be astounding.
If we have a party and guests imbibe too much, I absolutely do not mind crashing on the sofa or floor. I take keys and would rather have this inconvenience than a dead friend. But, that happens rarely so it's not a problem. Our most frequent overnight guest is a good friend and he's ALWAYS gone before 7 AM and he cleans up after himself.

Ahhh, that's nice.....when Jackboots comes, will you have Donuts?:shock:
Yes if she wants and when you come, I'll put out oats and hay. Do you prefer Timothy hay, clover hay or alfalfa hay? Rolled oats, whole oats or sweet feed.

My parents and my wifes parents are long gone, my mother in law was the best, she would try and drink me under the table but what a laugh we had with her trying.
At the end of the day you only have one set of parents and personally I think you should make the best of them, they bring you into the world and mould you as you are now. we all moan about our parents at some time or other but that is life and part of growing up.

Judging by how you turned out, you ancient prick, they must have "moulded" you out of dung while being drunk, then.
