But she's mine and I love her.Of course she is and of course you do.But what she did last night was stupid. And her husband needs a lecture as well.If you'll excuse me for saying so and I hope you do.
I did one better,I told her grandmother what she did .And grandma reduced her to a crying mess and her hubby had to sit and take it.Nobody hands out guilt like mamma(aka the war dept).I got the call last night asking not to tell grandma anything I told her that I make no promises. I told her that she as in such good shape as she was driving that she couldn't tell me exactly where she was with any accuracy and that was a problem for me.

It is hardly meddling, however, when she calls you smack dab in the middle of doing what she oughtn't. I'm relieved beyond rational that nothing worse happened to her while she was on her way and I hope she's feeling better.
That's funny, JF; that's just how Gunsmith described it, "used Grandma as the heavy", word for word.

I'm relieved beyond rational that nothing worse happened to her while she was on her way and I hope she's feeling better. She still hasn't passed the damned thing. But when you're as far as we are from her it's tough to enforce mush.But Sometimes I wish I didn't know what was going on and then if I don't know because somebody didn't tell me I'm a wild man. But we have a good relationship and yelling at her isn't going to help in the middle of itr. So I used Grandma as the heavy.
ya know sometimes I learn more than I want on this forum hehehehe
