I think PayPal needs to hire some less snarky copywriters. I got an email from them (I believe, anyway) asking for my social security number (for tax purposes). They said this was the third time they’d asked and posed the question, “What’s the problem?” What’s the problem? The problem is there is no alternative to PayPal. (And, no, I don’t believe it was phishing spam. I went to PayPal and they did need/want my social)
This has been a long, hard summer. Everyone and every thing is driving me nuts. I practically lost it after my daughter told us she no longer wants to study drums, five minutes before her lesson. Why did she wait so long to tell us? Because she was afraid “Daddy would get mad.” I did. Not because she wants to quite drums, but because she made us late for the lesson.
The next day I set things right by taking her to the doctor so he and I could try to get earwax out of her head for 40 minutes (more on that next time?). But, we got a milkshake and held hands and had a great hour while the meter ran out…

My first thought was, $2 for 2 hours parking in Beverly Hills sounded awfully cheap! Way more than that here.
I do know exactly what you mean about the kids Dan. Been a long summer here too, and not dry like you. I guess your daughter has learned to push your buttons to get what she wants, which I guess is mommy attention, though she won’t be doing this deliberately. A good tip I have used is to make sure they both get one to one attention, as you did while getting a parking ticket.
Well Dan I guess I will put my comments in order –
1. I have NEVER made my husband move when a spot has already been picked unless MAYBE he has not started putting up the beach crap. There is no way. That is just a pain in the derriere – don’t care how good the space is. I guess we are all whipped in our own certain ways. It would just never occur to me to have him do that.
2. Take the beach hammer, put it in a storage baggie and attach it to the umbrella when you store it. Then if you need it, get it, use it, and put it back. Than you will never be without at the beach. I know – my husband used to think things like this were a pain However, over the yrs he has confessed he does like the accessibility of things when he needs them.
3. The store scene totally had me rolling. Your flip flop sound effects almost made me have an unfortunate accident. (I am older, I have had kids, there was no Snapple bottle, you do the math.) The bread, the crackers, the peach and the bag – I could see and hear it all in my mind!
4. Disclaimer: I love my daughter soooo much. She is 13 and in 8th grade. Dude – it gets soooo much worse. T sounds a lot like my daughter. “Oh, aren’t you a cute little emotional blackmailer? I’m so proud.” The very things that drive your batshiat insane now will help her grow into a strong, focused and outgoing woman. (At least I tell this to myself every night when she goes to bed.)Just wait for the hormones brother – than we will talk.
Today I was in Kohls (yes, Dan loves Kohls) and the music piped in overheard suddenly was playing Dragonette’s “Pick Up The Phone” (Old Wave Radio, New 80s Music ‘Cast). I was totally thinking – “Is Dan here?!”
HA! Yes, I buy shirts at Kohl’s… Our former Mervyn’s is now a Kohls. They open at 8am. And take returns. ‘Nuf said.
