Not being the maternal sort, I only have a fur kid ... who provides constant "trips". She barks, as you know Galianomomma, like a fiend. And bites me. No one else, just me. We sound demented around here with the dog barking and us both screeching "shut your pie hole!!!" at her. *sigh* so it goes
I have learned to avoid all other fight nights by observing a few simple rules:
1. Never touch the remote control
2. Never put nail polish on Shell's toes when she's sleeping
3. Always empty my pockets before laundry day
Other than that, it's pretty peaceful around here.

My daughter and I have the same fight everynight.
it goes like this:
9:00pm
Me: Time to get off the computer, Lys
Her: But Mom.....I've only been on for ........hrs
Me: it's still time to get off the computer
Her: How about in 15 mins.
Me: ok
15 mins later
Me: 15 minutes are up
Her: But Mom......
Me: Now
Her: gumbling, typing g2g on msn to a billion people, grumbling.....
Just about everynight this happens. On the nights she's over at a friends it varies very little. Usually you can switch "but I've only been on the computer for" to "But I've only been at so and so's house for"

hee hee hee ... You are always welcome.
You would spend about one day here and run away screaming with your eyes spinning one each way. Between Shell and I hogging the couch, the cigarette smoke and the crazed Jack Russell, your tooth brush holder wars would probably look pretty good.
Course I wouldn't want to scare you off if you were going to cook while you were here!

Course I wouldn't want to scare you off if you were going to cook while you were here! When I was a kid my sister and I played Scrabble™ with our great Aunt in Norway. We would play in English and Tante Olga would play in Norwegian, and we'd do our best to explain what the words meant. We also agreed that if we drew any of the weird letters (Å, Æ, Ø) we could trade them in for "normal" ones.peapod said:hahahahaha...your mom is so funnnnnnnnnnnny!...tell her next time she cheats at scrabble I am gonna call the cops! Its a disgrace trying to cheat at a game at her age
After a while her daughter came in, chuckled over some of the words (I think one of them meant either "boobs" or "busty") and then asked what a few of the English words meant. It was then that we discovered that our dear sweet tante was making up words. 8O
