CLEEEEEEVVVVAAAGGGEEE. It was the 1960's, my mother was divorced and you get the point. Yes, it was beyond annoying and I always cover up. SHORT HAIR. Hate it, my mother always comments on my long hair and how I should have short hair. She even will say "I know I shouldn't say anything, but..." She just can't help herself. My daughter prefers short hair and looks cute and I just bite my lip. She looks cute and its her thing. Her new wing tattoos nearly killed me, however. We don't talk about those. My father drinks most every day. It annoys my brothers and none of us drink daily. OH YEAH, PERFUME. ESTE LAUDER KILL THE BUGS PERFUME. Youth Dew oil in a bathtub will fumigate an entire neighborhood, and I dealt with it on date nights. Please don't do these things to your children. I'm scarred. CLEAVAGE. CLEEEEEEVVVVAAAGGGEEE.

Ask him about the time we went to the grocery store in Manhattan and I didn't have enough money for a Fudgecicle....ask him what he called me.......I nearly died, right on the spot. There were no lol's in the Hake household for awhile that day......also the day he was not going to eat his breakfast but decided that maybe it would be wise to do so.....he was in high school then. Really, we got along beautifully and I remember "the good old days" with joy. You will notice he did not mention his Mom because he knew I’d be waiting and watching!!

He used to tick me off doing the lawn when I was a teenager - but what doesn't tick you off when you're a teenager that your parents want you to do, right? Every blade of grass on the lawn and every leaf on the hedge had to be perfect. I don't know if it was six hours we spent on that thing or not - but that's how I remember it! #1, he's changed and isn't nearly as obsessive about it now. #2, I'm not really worth a damn at keeping my own lawn up. BUT, I still managed to push my boy through the ritual! By the way, that boy was supposed to do some plumbing work for me this past weekend...

But the other?...usually only when I am with strangers...purely accidental. methinks my dad did it on purpose, however, as shock value! I am not that old yet, but it just be one of the positive things we will be able to do at that age. If you mean the groaning and moaning, yep.

Mom was telling me to look in her glass cases, which I did and found several $100 bills in there. She owned a small piece of property in Salina and when the rent payment came in she would put part of it in the bank and part of it in her glass cases. I really doubt that Conrad will dare admit (out in the open) that we were anything but absolutely perfect, ho, ho, ho! Carly tells it like it is (a bit like her aunt Viki). It is good to be able to correspond with you even if I don't want a job.....I've got way more to do than I can get done now. Some way or other I didn’t get to finish what I was saying, lol.

One of the things my Mom did that caused many eyes to roll was pay for things at the grocery story with change that she would dig out of the bottom of her very large purse. It was always amazing to all around her how much money she could dig out of the recesses of that bag. I don't do that.......I just carry my change in my jacket pocket (which makes makes me a bit lopsided) so I can dig it out in a hurry. Bless my mother's heart, she loved change more than she did money you could fold........she carried that rolled up in little rolls in her glass case and told me that IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO HER Hey GL!
