LMAO - I don't blame you. :D

Im sorry you are having such a rough time. teenage boys....whew!....
I got me a couple of them. :):confused:

I hope things get better for you Beth.

Aw nuts, Bethie, that's no good. :( I'm glad you're feeling a little better, and just so you know, you really didn't miss anything at the GTG, no one had any fun at all.





Okay, maybe just a little.:o

Liar Liar pants on fire! :p

She's only trying to make you feel better :hug:

glad u got the gown issued covered, as to the other two, like you said time will mend those,

:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: Beth :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

OMG, I laughed right out loud at the wrinkled gown, Bethie! That's what he deserves anyways.

FG took the words right out of my mouth so I will just say AMN is a liar! I was going to say more but didn't want to make anyone mad. :), especially someone who has a ramp that I want.

BTW people, Beth told me what she said to both sons and believe me she still deserves the Mother of the Decade Award for what those two have put her through lately. She didn't say anything bad except for one slip of the tongue (who hasn't done that) for which she profusely apologized and he wasn't even mad at her about that.

And who said boys are easier to raise? Not I, I have 2 and long for a daughter about now.

Oh, Beth, don't feel bad. My older son graduated last year. First I melted a hole in the gown with the iron just like you. I had to buy a replacement gown for a ridiculous amount of money.

Thinking that I was really smart, I put the new gown in the dryer on the lowest setting. I went back to pull it out 15 minutes later, only to find a melted wad of royal blue plastic. Aarrrgh!!!! I was totally in tears but my boys thought it was the funniest thing they ever saw. Looking back on it now, I can laugh too.

Tkirk is right!!! Do not put it in the dryer. I don't know what they make these gowns of these days but it is not a natural fiber. I swear it is some kind of a coated plastic. The trick is to hang it on a hanger and place it in your bathroom while the shower is going so that some of the wrinkles steam out.

There I was the day before the grad driving, 45 miles each way, to the distribution center to pick up yet another gown. And of course I had to pay for it yet again.

It is a stressful time so try to take care of yourself. I came down with a full blown case of ON a couple days after the graduation. I am sure the stress contributed. I am glad that you were able to get another gown. Your son's high school seems to be much better prepared than ours was.

There, you see Beth? You really aren't the ONLY one who ever ironed a graduation gown..:D

I didn't know those things ever got wrinkled. Aren't they made of the same stuff they found in that field in Roswell back in the 40's?

Anyway, my youngest, also a boy, is graduating next year. Pray for me.

I have a black one hanging in my closet...anyone want it?

You stinka! It is beyond words how jealous I am about this past weekend! It just ain't right! I should have been there! (at least for the part of the rasberry vodka story):hug:
