I'm getting too old for this. (preparing for kids-grand-kids to come). I am getting old, and my wife has three grand-kids coming--9, 7, and 2 months--who crys 24/7--has stomach probs. and today the printer went out --business at home--have to work tonight getting caught up--had to rush out--buy new printer...wife cooking all day.  we are not used to it. she is arthritic. and we get in fights..kind of...in the kitchen..i am helping her... Now I can understand why my grand daddy (when I was a teen) caught one of the little grand kids --about 5 years old--one time  slamming doors...running in one door and out the other...letting them screens 'slap'...and grand daddy grabs him and holds him over that well on the back porch  and tells him if he 'slams one more door, I'm gonna drop you in this well"!...shore did happen.  but, knowing grand daddy he wouldn't have. (i'm sure). LOL  anyway, i am cleaning our bed-room and i see this b/d present  (the two boys are having theirs) and I see this WI thing...i did not even know what it was...my wife says it's her business...well,  the grand-kids 7 and 9 plays games all time...i doubt if they have a breath of fresh air except maybe hanging their head out the window on the way to school..i told my step-daughter that they going to weigh  300 lb (the kids) before they are 30 and be dying of clogged arteries...drinking cases of pop and staying on the game-stations...anyway  those WI's cost a bundle...and I am barely coming down from the sky...spending that kind of money when they have boxes of games, tv set ups, and so forth and have to shovel some out the back door every day just to get some new one in the front door...boy  ...am i out of snuff...and out of touch, I guess...and  I guess that's why my wife names me  Crabbie Pants...anyway I am real practical and say  instead of spending vast monies on b/d  and Christmas all the time,   most of that money should be put up for their college fund...but who listens to praticality  these days...

if anybody out there feels even a fourth like i do let me know...and if you   think i am bad, bad,  ok...so be it...takes us all to keep this damn world going around...just an ole timer...i guess...psssng and moaning...
