I thought this was interesting, I was lucky, some kids aren't don't drink and drive!!!!!!

'Mean mom' sells son's car after misdeed
Wed Jan 9, 5:39 PM ET

Jane Hambleton has dubbed herself the "meanest mom on the planet." After finding alcohol in her son's car, she decided to sell the car and share her 19-year-old's misdeed with everyone — by placing an ad in the local newspaper.

The ad reads: "OLDS 1999 Intrigue. Totally uncool parents who obviously don't love teenage son, selling his car. Only driven for three weeks before snoopy mom who needs to get a life found booze under front seat. $3,700/offer. Call meanest mom on the planet."

Hambleton has heard from people besides interested buyers since recently placing the ad in The Des Moines Register.

The 48-year-old from Fort Dodge says she has fielded more than 70 telephone calls from emergency room technicians, nurses, school counselors and even a Georgia man who wanted to congratulate her.

"The ad cost a fortune, but you know what? I'm telling people what happened here," Hambleton says. "I'm not just gonna put the car for resale when there's nothing wrong with it, except the driver made a dumb decision.

"It's overwhelming the number of calls I've gotten from people saying 'Thank you, it's nice to see a responsible parent.' So far there are no calls from anyone saying, 'You're really strict. You're real overboard, lady.'"

The only critic is her son, who Hambleton says is "very, very unhappy" with the ad and claims the alcohol was left by a passenger.

Hambleton believes her son but has decided mercy isn't the best policy in this case. She says she set two rules when she bought the car at Thanksgiving: No booze, and always keep it locked.

The car has been sold, but Hambleton says she will continue the ad for another week — just for the feedback.

"Wonderful World"

Don't you love when you hear a song on the radio, you buy the CD and there is even a better song then the one you bought it for?

JAMES MORRISON

"Wonderful World"

I've been down so low
People look at me and they know
They can tell something is wrong
Like I don't belong

Staring through a window
Standing outside, they're just too happy to care tonight
I want to be like them
But I'll mess it up again

I tripped on my way in
And got kicked outside, everybody saw...

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

Sometimes I feel so full of love
It just comes spilling out
It's uncomfortable to see
I give it away so easily
But if I had someone I would do anything
I'd never, never, ever let you feel alone
I won't I won't leave you, on your own

But who am I to dream?
Dreams are for fools, they let you down...

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

And I wish that I could make it better
I'd give anything for you to call me, or maybe just a little letter
Oh, we could start again

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

And I know that it's a wonderful world
I can't feel it right now
I got all the right clothes to wear
I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

And I know that it's a wonderful world
When you're with me

What Do You Think?

"Yeah, and you're gonna get upset with Michael Richards for saying [something] you read and hear every day? He cannot be held accountable. The people that own the rights to the word have given it free license by their use of it."

Let's start with the fact that I agree overall with the statement or I wouldn't put it on my site. But does anyone really "own the rights" to a word? Since I don't use it, I don't like hearing it from anyone. I find that when I use other curse words, it just really makes me looki stupid. What do you think?

What is trifling?

Well let me tell you what trifling is!

Trifling is when the guy in front of you gets all pissed off when you toot your horn cause he is digging in the backseat of his car and not caring that the light has changed and flips you off.

Trifling is that little bastard who can’t do two things at once, I ask them to do something cause it’s on the way or near where they are going and for some reason they have such a one track mind they can not possible carry two pieces of paper at once, what the fuck, man!!! Now I realize it’s a habit I formed as a fat kid not wanting to make too many trips but damn it saves time and sometimes it’s just the logical thing to do.

Trifling is the cheap bastard who went into CVS, picked up the CVS brand ointment box emptied it out and put it inside the more expensive Mederma box. So when I get my tired ass home and open the box it’s the cheap $10 stuff when I paid $20.

First Lesson of the Year

If you ever have surgery always remember to decorate before going in the hospital. It doesn’t matter why I was there but doctors always ask to see your incisions. The first thing they do when you get there is make you strip everything and put on one of the gowns. So later when you really just want to sleep and they wake you for whatever reason so you just become like a baby and let them move you around whichever way they want. At one point somewhere around 2 A.M this guy came in and asked to see my incisions I looked at him said yes and as I drifted off to sleep my last thought, was I hope he is a doctor. So many people looked at my incisions on my stomach right above my you- know- what that I will definitely decorate if I ever go in again.

Teeny Tiny Contraception

So I am driving to work. I have stopped off to get donuts, which is another story for another day.

For once I am gonna be on time, everyday I try to be on time but be it Solitaire, Designing Women or Golden Girls, something slows me down. Anyway I was driving to work and there was this women talking about this new product blah blah blah, then this teeny tiny voice comes on and says, Come on let at ‘em, let me at ‘em, she says something else and then the teeny tiny voice says, oooh oooh I’m good to go! She says sssh he is here.

So what was the teeny tiny voice you ask?

It was the new contraception gel to avoid condoms. I am sorry but if I ever decide to have sex, I am thinking I don’t need any more voices in the room.

There will already be three, his screaming, “ Oh my God turn out the lights, I made a mistake, I made a mistake!” Mine saying, “Hell man I was already on my way, I am f!@#ing scared of that thing!” And of course the last one inside my head screaming, “why the hell does he want to do this with me, what does he want, I didn’t loan him money did I or is this the test before he comes out?”
