Get Mom to come to your meeting place and meet your traveling companion/driver. That way she knows who your riding with. She can get his name, car license number etc.
then be sure to check in along the way and when you get to Westminster. We Mom's do worry. Even when our kids are 32 and 35 and have families of there own.

If your mommy changes her mind and let's you hitch a ride to the Nationals, I would need to know by midnight on Sunday at the latest.

 

[Miss Mercedes]

Sounds like a plan, I'll talk some more about it to her.

 

[ArthurRW]

Thanks...thanks a lot ...now I've got that %&*? song stuck in my head again!
Argh!
See you in a few days.

Huronlad has been a member for 4+ years. I pretty sure it wasn't part of his master plan on kidnapping you back in 2009 when he joined. He posts quite often and seems like a decent fellow. Like they said, have your Mom drop you off and meet him. I understand your Mom's point of view and that should placate her.

Mom's do worry and when Mom is happy, everyone is happy.

Huronlad, aka William is about as solid a citizen as is allowed into the smart SCoA asylum.

While he is one of those wild and crazy Canadians who has been seen at OTD in the company of Jet Fuel, he seems quite harmless?

But then again he may have been seen with a roll of industrial strength clear kitchen wrap one night? What happens at The Dragon, stays at the Dragon . . .

I just hope we don't have a repeat of the Dells

 

[Miss Mercedes]

She won't have enough money to "rescue" me from Denver. :naughty:

But seriously, I'll be talking to her tonight.

 

[jkjahobbs]

I'd trust either of my sons with Jetfuel. I'm thinking that if He hangs out with Jetfuel then we can trust him with Neon. Now the question is, is William safe with Neon.
I know you can't believe I'd trust my sons with Jetfuel.

So, are you going?

You guys just can't leave it alone! I can't think of another song that is more difficult to get out of your head than " the song that shall remain nameless." Nevertheless when we get to Westminister..."Let's have a party."

edit...I relented and watched the video...what a funny version...well worth watching.:rofl:

 

[BARNEY O]

So, are you going?

I don't think Neon's bucket is as big as Mommy's

 

[ArthurRW]

My apologies to DrKillerBee but I have this odd sense of humor (you might even say warped). As they used to say in my youth "watch out for the quiet ones!"

 

[Miss Mercedes]

Situation is as stands; I can go if and only if I can take a family friend with me.

Of course, had my summer plan been on track I would've moved out by now and be living on my own. Looks like I'm pushing that to late August though.

 

[jkjahobbs]

So do you have a friend to take with you? Can you afford the gas? Lodging?

Nothing against your Mom, I am a Mom afterall, but aren't you 20 now? Capable of making your own decisions? I'm guessing since you still live at home that Mom has some say in what you do.
Good Luck, I hope you get to come.

Let's all chip in and pay for Mom to go along.......

 

[wrumbarger]

Let mom meet some of us?

Actually, I know most of us, that would be a really bad idea!

 

[1983JZR3W]

But it might put a skip in the old girl's step.....

 

[DoraAnderson]

Let's all chip in and pay for Mom to go along.......

I am broke, but I WILL chip in for Neon.

Dear Neon's parents,

You must be very proud of your son. He has impressed hundreds of us in the smart community with his knowledge and persistence. There is no way that this community event would be complete without his participation.

We know you have concerns, as do all of us parents. The world is such a crazy place, and insane things DO happen sometimes. HOWEVER, there will be over 100 of us there watching him like hawks! Most of us are parents too.

Please consider your decision, and allow him to grace us all with his presence!!

Thanks,
Dora Anderson
A Mom.

Shoot, due to the catastrophe that is my new job, I only make enough money to pay for a week's worth of fuel. This job was designed to screw you over.

Plan B job should start next week thankfully. Hourly pay, full time, and benefits...no bull false promises and lies...

Hmmm...Lets show that letter to her... *gulp*
