For two whole weeks? Wow... We used to cut school all the time and go swimming in the Southern California Edison canal. A guy from Edison and one of the school's administrators were trying to chase us once. We laughed at them and flipped them off as we drifted down on the current. LOL

When I was a boy of 12, a buddy of mine came over with a pet mouse that his mother had bought him for his birthday. Well, at the time, I had quite a large and lazy Maine Coon cat. I was holding the mouse and petting it, and I began holding it out to the cat and then pulling it back. I did this a number of times, when suddenly, Tilly the Cat gave herself over to her baser instincts and gulped half of the mouse down her gullet. We ran after her in the hopes of rescuing the poor mouse, but Tilly wasn't having any of THAT!! She'd stolen it fair and square! I looked at my buddy and he had big tears in his eyes. I ended up buying him an identical mouse so his mom wouldn't find out.  I felt badly. (And I swear, the damn cat was wearing a smug little smile)

Who, me? *smiling innocently*
My mom did something that ticked me off, so for revenge, I used furniture polish on the linoleum floor in the kitchen. She came through later, to do something, slipped, and landed on her backside.
I laughed and laughed.
I'm sorry mom. I'm so sorry....

I just skipped one day, which led to the next and then the next and just kept snowballing. It's the only bad thing (well, maybe not the only) that I did as a youth. I was a perfect child otherwise
When I reach the place I'm going, I will surely know my way.

I was a perfect child otherwise I believe you were a perfect child, Rocky. Well, for the most part. I believe you were a good child... as was I. As, really are most children. I'm sorry you had a rough time of it when you changed schools.... but it was just a short period of unrest... and then you got it together... or so (again... like the rest of us). And it still continues to this day... getting it together.... overcoming shyness... PRACTICING OUR PIANOS.... okay.....going overboard as usual.... but what the heck.... this is the "Off-topic" thread.... (smirk) so,.... have yourself a nice day, Rocky.... later. Sharon

Originally posted by Frank_W: I'd come home from a late late medevac, and was trying to sleep, during the day. My rude neighbor's wife was in her house, with the windows wide open, and screaming at the top of her lungs at her kids.
I opened my window and yelled out, "HEY, YOU TOOTHLESS CRACK WH*RE!! QUIT THAT SCREAMING!! I'm trying to sleep!"
She stuck her (ghastly) head out of her window and said, "WHAT did you call me?!"
I looked her in the eye coolly and said, "I called you a toothless crack wh*re! I'm trying to sleep. Stop screaming at your loinfruit, over there!"
She said, "No one calls me that and gets away with it!"
I raised my brows and asked, "So, does this mean you've been called a toothless crack wh*re a lot?"
She muttered something and slammed the window, and I had a very nice nap.
Note to self....Let Frank sleep.
