Bonfire of the Goddesses

Well we are looking at 4 to 8.....who knows..........
My grandaughter went to visit PSU this weekend just for the day....did not expect the weather she encountered, after she got there........a friend drove her car "a Cadillac".....She does not like driving long ditance and its about 3 hours....
Well when it was time to leave the friend said she was staying so my grnadaughter had to drive home alone.....luckily another friend said "I'll go to keep you company".
Comeing down the Turnpike my grandaughter hit an icy patch (not experienced enough to be navigating icy roads (not sure what my son was thinking even letting her go, but he can't say no",
She veered off the road into a ditch, and the car rolled over, and landed upside down at the bottom of the ditch...............Thank God for seatbelts.........she is ok...............
Why my son even let her go is beyond me.....she will be 19 in May, and it took her 3 tries to pass her driving test..........he is lucky she is alive.............
Would not have happened in my house...first they would have never been allowed to go to PSU overnight anyway.........we all know what that's about..................College life.......and 90% of them do it..........even the good kids get sucked into bad behavior......and a "female" at that..........

Oh and my son told my daughter and said "Don't tell Mommy"........my daughter said a picture was taken of the car for the insurance company..........it was on its roof with the entire under body facing the sky.............

eek!

oh no Ducky!! Thank goodness they are both O.K.. But the thought of what could of happened is terrifying.. Makes me laugh though that your son said "Don't tell Mommy ".. 😃

OMG, Ducky,, you must be furious! I'm so glad she is OK.0 -
Let me explain for those who don't know my age......that son is 49 years old that told his 56 year old sister......"don't tell Mommy"...........it was his daughter who was driving the car ..........I can't imagine what it was like when he got that phone call............but imagne...a 49 year old saying ""don' tell Mommy"......

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow..........behind my house

That is so eerily beautiful though Ducky. I would walk in it for sure, just to see it and maybe take pictures. But then I don't live where i get a chance to see it, and the few times I was in tahoe or something where it did snow, it was always sunny when I went to see it! Not like that with no sun, it makes me think of narnia.
People in my family regularly say, dont tell mom. And my mom says dont say you heard it from me. It makes it really hard to have a conversation with someone, because you can slip up and say something, and then the involved "parties" will be furious! It is no party! It's awful that there is so much secrecy, and the truth is, it is always about nothing that really matters...stupid. Oh yeah, and we are all in our 50's.

Tomboy.....could not have said it better myself......why the secrecy....I would want to share, so maybe someone else can help......especially kids, sometimes they think their parents no nothing, and a grandmothe, aunt, or uncle, even a cousin their age can help...
Problem is everyone wants you to think they are The Brady Bunch, but over my almost 80 years, many as a married women with 6 kids had finally come to realize "The Brady Bunch" is exactly what it was meant to be.......a Fantasy......I was no Carol, and my husband was no Mike".....
I never kept secrets from my mother...she was one of my best advisers....I had no siblings, :an only child", so she was my best friend......
However a lot has to do with inlaws.....especially DIL's.....always a competition either with me, or my daughters.......stupid......I always say "their loss".....they have no idea what they give up, just to covet their family.....yet...are up their families ass.......although the one has 4 brothes who she does not talk too......so what does that tell you...........LOL....like I say "shit happen....
As a footnote...I belive truly had the family known about Phil when this all began with the drugs....he would be clean and sober today.....had another relapse......oh well....sad....

holy shit
I'm missing out on all of this
Tomboy,U said it so well..UR words were excellent
I always told my kids don't tell my mother...in our poor days my kids at French toast,if my mother called my Dd1was to answer the phone and tell my mother we were eating steak...it's called protection..it took me a long time to tell my sons and GS I had the beast...protection
Yeah I have a messed up family too...I got the Russian bitch...
That's why I wanted the parties...we all need that
Luv all of U my sistas

Also wanted to share info on the 2015 BCO Summer Adventure aka California Dreaming part II.
A group from the Let's Post our Daily Exercise thread is converging on San Diego Sat. 6/13. We'll be there until Fri. 6/19. We'll hook up with some of the SoCal sisters including (hopefully) 2TA, beppy & tomboy. Anyone interested, please send me a PM.

Excited to see you all Badger.

I'm envious.. I wish I could meet up with you girls too.. Maybe if FK loans me her broom.!!
0 -
Sounds like fun, but its a long trip from Philly to Ca............especially doing it alone........I know....FK is from Pa., but even she is not around the corner...........we discussed this before, but that is one hell of a long train ride, and FK doesn't fly..........then I have only flown 2 1/2 hours tops one way to Chicago.........still scared of flying, but did it 2 times so far.
Ca. is 6, not sure if I could do that.............will be thinking about all of you..............
0 -
Who wants my broom?
Yes I will drive U there
Oh wait a minute
Calif????? Don't think so but U can borrow it
Yes Ducky and I talked about it...quite a few times and the bottom line is NO...I cant and wont fly anywhere...
I don't dare start up with the LE,as it is my arm always hurts
And the other reason U all no about...
Enjoy and think of us who cannot come

I checked out Ca..........if we used Amtrak it would take almost 4 days to get there....Phila, to D.C. to Chicago to Ca........with about 40 stops in between.........Acela is 3 day.......with a lot of stops too..........
Flying would be 6 hours........
All I can say is......"enjoy yourselves"........LOL......I am not spending 4 days on a train, or 3 for that matter, and FK won't fly.............that was to LA......not sure what San Diego is...........don't know Ca. that well.......
Not that I am that anxious to spend 6 hours flying either, and that is if it is a straight through flight.......not gonna happen........LOL.

O.K girls
.. Next year the "get together " is being held in Australia so that I can come.!! Here's a money tree for you so everyone can.afford to come.!! 😃
0 -
LOL.....
0 -
Lucy, I'll take one of those money trees!
I don't blame you both for not wanting to get on a plane. I feel the same way. If I can't get there by car, train or boat, I'm just not going!!
One of these days I will get to PA. I have an Aunt in Harrisburg I would love to visit. She came here last time and it's my turn.
0 -
Slow......I'm just not sure if I could do 6 hours on a plane......I get very nervous....and to be honest I'm not so high on trains either........they seem to have hit th fore front in accidents in the past couple months..
People say "oh you can see so much more on a train"........
If your on the Acela and that sucker is going a couple hundred miles an hour......what the hell can you see for any length of time.......LOL
It would be like'.........There it is............oh sorry there it was...........
One day maybe we will meet........'hugs
