   Yep, and I have a couple JUST like it as well..
   My Kids always wanted to have their parties at "my" house..   My one and single rule was that they clean up EVERYTHING the next day...
   No, they didnt, so I confiscated EVERYTHING they left behind.. I ended up with coolers, kegs and taps, chairs, occasional pieces of clothing (Should have been paying attn to that party I guess!) and fold up tables from Wal Mart...   

   Exterminators often end up costing the homeowner a HUGE amount of money. The poor victim has no idea the stench and the mess that is about to hit their home when they have a hive bombed....

Scott- "My Kids always wanted to have their parties at "my" house.. 

     Our house was the party house as well. Our garage had a pool table, fridge, tv, sound system. Car keys went into a bowl under our surveillance. More often than not we woke up in the morning to teens sprawled in the livingroom. It was always positive to have those kids at our house,  except for two occasions.... one morning, one teen had barfed a gallon of stomach contents onto my new leather couch and slept in it for about 5 hours. Took a couple of years for the odor disapate from the leather. And one mother called and said that I was the leader of the devil because we were reading horoscopes from the newpaper to the teens and her 17 year old son was not allowed to come to our house anymore. That made me sad.

LOL Jen.. you have to accept there will always be a fruitcake in the crowd. I am perfectly fine with their teen not being allowed to come to our house any longer.   In fact, I am ecstatic there will be one less..  I have found through the years that despite the ban, they usually manage to make it anyhow...

   oh lordy...   your not telling me anything new there...    I have NO CLUE how I avoided going to jail. Nearly got divorced and my daughter didn't talk to me for several months. Even moved away from home after the firebird boyfriend event where he ended up laying on the sidewalk via the window of his car....
   Some teen boys havent got a brain in their head..   They REALLY need to remember that dads were once teenage boys.....

LOLOL! I could add to that with my daughters first boyfriend who was a high school drop out fresh out of juvenile jail, who's mother was dating a state prisoner whom she found in the back of a magazine, and she provided a camper in her front yard for her son and my 15 year old daughter to have some 'alone' time. but I won't go any further because we will be called out on the hijacking thread thing.
