Mr Pinkley: Here at product testing inc. we're one big family! Tony and Joyce, I'm sorry, but I'm cutting off your allowance...Ed, you're getting a two-to-ten-year time-out...Lisa and Mark, pick up your rooms, clean up your mess in the kitchen, and pack all your junk in these nice storage boxes......SEE? Just like family! Everyone always dumps on the old man.

Well, maybe if the “old man” didn’t treat his “kids” as though they had the intellect of a five-year-old, they wouldn’t dump on him! total EYEROLL

A two-to-ten-year timeout?? Sounds like a prison sentence!I guess Cathy did all of her chores and didn’t talk back to “Dad” because she didn’t get any punishment. Good girl, Cathy! You can go out and play with your friends now, just be home by dinner.Good morning, legaleagle and Susan!@Susan – what do you mean by a computerized rubber stamp? If you mean for your daily hellos, you can just put it into a text doc and copy and paste it every morning. Seems a little impersonal, but I don’t forget people and it comes from the heart whether I type my hellos or paste them.Good morning, Aaron, if you stop by this morning, otherwise see you later today! A belly rub to LMB!Hello to GsMom, Billy, KFG, rgcviper, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, gmforde, soonergal, lippyfish and all the other Cathy nuts rolling around here today!

More like house mother than old man. He really should say things in his head before he says them out loud.
lightenup you had LMB at belly rub. :-D Hi Susan early on Wednesday. :-)

Just making a littler dinner for the family, saying “Hi!” to all my “friends” here and trying to stay cool on an 89-degree day . . . which is very unusual around here this early in May! This is probably the earliest we’ve ever had to turn on the a/c but when it’s this hot, it just can’t be helped.
Hope you, Dr. Billy and LMB are staying cool where you are too!

I think the ‘old man’ deserved that dumping. Come on Mr. P they’re not children. Their not exactly adults either, but time outs? Really?
Gretchen's Mom over 12 years ago
Soooooooo glad not to be a member of this particular “family” because if I were, I’d want someone else to “adopt” me!!!!!
Good evening, Aaron, Dr. Billy, LMB, lightenup, K.F.G. (wherever you are!), Susan, rgcviper, gmforde, hendelca, lindz.coop, summerdog, serenasakitty, kittycatpawsare, Gator007, legaleagle48 and all the REST of the “Cathy” fanatics joining us here tonight. As always, good to “see” you all!

Hi Cathyites!! So, who is left — just Cathy?!? She’ll have a work speed-up for sure. We hit 80 today in the Detroit area, but it was 86 for 3 days back in March, so we’re already somewhat aclimated.

… And (in this case, at least) for good reason, Boss-meister.
Seriously—could he “ask for it” any more obviously?
[Sigh]
