That sounds like fun! Can you come up to CT and make one for my boyz, they would love something like that and their Dad isn't super handy.

Snap the photo, upload it to photobucket, share the photobucket link.
It's not easy being a 13 year old girl (or boy, either, but I think its harder for girls). The hormones rage. They make you feel funny. They make you feel like crap. They make you hurt. Throw up. Faint. It takes a while to learn to be able to manage that, and sometimes you don't learn, or sometimes they never really subside and you regularly feel like crap because of them, and then you finally feel like you've figured it out and you turn 40 and your hormones get wacky all over again (or so I've been told).
Give her a hug and let the surliness go. She doesn't really mean it.

thanks guin, I ll try to take your advice ...., about the girl that is, I have no idea what a photobucket is....
you are right about it being harder for girls , I think. when my son was young he had only three go to options it seemed
yes, no, or maybe. boys have all sorts of emotions too, especially in the teen years, but they seem to view life in the "yes, no, or maybe" fashion despite their emotions. (except for me, of course )
girls are more complicated even as toddlers, I think.
We are complicated, sensitive creatures. If you keep that in mind when dealing with us, and do your best to be understanding, open, truthful, and honest (i.e., don't be afraid to communicate, and "yes" "no" "maybe" don't count, you'll do just fine.

how about I do all the things guin said, and (italics) lock her in the treehouse until she s 23?
the treehouse is constructed in such a manner that frisky boys can be hit somewhere on their Levi s with my Red Ryder , if necessary, from a back window.....
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

You started in January, finished in March. So that means the dog was homeless for six weeks?
Maybe you should have been doing less pounding of the keys for Trumpty-Dumpty and more pounding of the nails for poor ol' Phideaux. -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Dog cart easier than a boat? Tell me more. I am considering the utility of a dog cart, after my legal authority to operate a motor vehicle is ended, either by my reasonableness or an act of civil responsibility on the part of my family. I am thinking there might be value in adding some braking system.
