Guess it wasn't a "Great Opportunity". (Sorry I just couldn't resist but after over 6 yrs in the biz you tend to get a little jaded).

Don, This song's just for you, Darlin' - "Jaded Notary"
**Guess it wasn't a "Great Opportunity". (Sorry I just couldn't resist but after over 6 yrs in the biz you tend to get a little jaded).**
To all out there - this is ONLY for the bad guys...
Don, we are all a little jaded these dayze...Jerry Jeff and I wrote this song, just for you....it's your way a-lookin' at signin' services...it's a two-step...HIT IT BOYS....a one, two, three....
Well, it won't be but a week or two,
You'll be out hirin' someone new.
It must have happened a hundred times before.
And I can see you been spreadin' not-ries thin toooooooo.
It's a lonely stage we notaries been a goin' through.
HEY! Don't hang up, I'll just throw the phone on the floor...
Chorus: (SING WITH US EVERYBODY)...
Well, I can see you are an angel,
whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old haloooooo.
Well the only kind of notary that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never PAY at all...
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
Well, you may have had ninety notaries behind you.
[spoken BEFORE YOU CALLED ME!!!]
Baby, I can hear you, but I sure can't believe you.
Seems like you would have found your own self by now.
But late at night your old edoc tears come back,
faces in your dreams, knives in your back,
voices of the memories, cryin' out loud.
Chorus:
Well, I can see you are an angel,
whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo.
Well the only kind of notary that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never PAY at all...
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
(Up a step)
Ah, what a joyous sight to see you in your website.
[yelled: NOT!!!!]
I believe I'm leavin'; I'm in too deep,
and that seems easy enough for a notary to say.
But we would never agree ON FEES if we talked all night.
Things are gettin' kind of heavy. I'm travelin' light.
Goodbye you jaded notary-user !$#!#$, you undercover scammer for a day.
Chorus:
Well, I can see you are an angel,
whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo.
Well the only kind of notary that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never PAY at all...
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
Tag: You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.

THE ORIGINAL SONG WAS JADED LOVER...
Well, it won't be but a week or two,
You'll be out lovin' someone new.
It must have happened a hundred times before.
And I can see you been spreadin' yourself thin too.
It's a lonely stage we been goin' through.
Don't get up, I can find my own way to the door.
Chorus:
Well, I can see you are an angel,
whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo.
Well the only kind of man that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never hold very long.
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
Well, you may have had thirty lovers behind you.
Baby, I can feel you, but I sure can't find you.
Seems like you would have found your own self by now.
But late at night your old lovers' tears come back,
faces in your dreams, fingers in your back,
voices of the memories, cryin' out loud.
Chorus:
Well, I can see you are an angel,
whose wings just won't unfold.
Tune up your harp; polish your old halo.
Well the only kind of man that you ever wanted
is one that you knew you'd never hold very long.
You're sittin' there cryin' like I'm the first one to go.
(Up a step)
Ah, what a joyous sight to see you in your sleep.
I believe I'm leavin'; I'm in too deep,
and that seems easy enough for a man to say.
But we would never agree if we talked all night.
Things are gettin' kind of heavy. I'm travelin' light.
Goodbye you jade lover, you undercover queen for a day.

Well, I can see you are an angel,
Whose wings just won't unfold.

Don - Going to a Ring Dunk - more OT garbage
*Brenda, you are just too funny.* No, Don...I just drank a Red Bull. I need to write several songs before I sleep. J/k.
Honestly, I am about to put on 78 cents worth of that expensive makeup my sister buys me and insists I wear....and, then I'll make a run across town, hence, the Red Bull. ( I hope Red Bull is legal since I am writing about it.)
Anyhow, I am going to an Aggie affair known as a Ring Dunk. Honest to goodness, all good Aggie parents do this...especially good Catholics. This is at my son's house and some of our friends from our hometown (the parents) will be hosting the party at his place.
When your kid gets his Aggie Ring the first thing you do is go with the kid to pick up that golden rascal that you paid a small fortune for...then you weep because you have to start staying at the closest branch of "The Poorhouse."
Then, you go get a crystal pitcher, pay another fortune to etch his name on it and you fill it up with draft beer. (You also spring for a keg.) Heretofore you have invited all their friends, barbequed, cooked until you sweat like a pig and your mascara is running faster than Tammy Faye Bakker's. The mother always looks like CRAP. Standard thing to do.
You take all the keys, issue cups and drop that gold ring down into the pitcher. Get a stopwatch, tell the kid (the same kid you have always cautioned NEVER EVER EVER DRINK BEER) to get ready, get set, NOW GO. Kid drinks, everyone claps...when and if he finishes the beer, you let the boychild have his ring if he catches between his teeth (ruining all the dental work you paid for for years...probably still are). If he doesn't catch it, call 911. (I do NOT know what the stopwatch is for.)
Okay, that's a Ring Dunk. It's Tradition with a capital T. This is the most conservative college town in the USA. I don't get it. But...my ex, my wife-in-law and I did it. I'm an Aggie Mom '03. It's just what the heck you do.
Go figure.
Getting your ring in Aggieville is a family affair. I better scoot on to watch another kid I love do this stupidity, probably vomit...I'll go take up keys and help slop them all with BBQ.
My baby's daddy has a ring that matches his...

Here's my son on ring day hugging his dad.

I'll check in later - not staying all night for this soiree' ala Aggie. (Is that how you spell it??? Soiree'??)

Re: BrendaTx BP & Susan....
Hello - and thank you for understanding! It's an Aggie thing...and no...it is an another tradition, yet most unfortunate...Aggie mothers are allowed one or two dainty glasses of wine, but no drunken mothers. Aggie mothers can never get drunk. If they do the school takes their kid's diploma.
There are ways around the rules, but you have to know a guy like Winston...with a lined trenchcoat...who roller blades.

What is a wife-in-law?
I thought about this post for quite some time, and just could'nt figure it out. So, I did a little research on the web and found this:
wife-in-law:
In prostitution , any of a pimp's workers other than his main or bottom-woman
Now, I know that cannot be correct.

Re: ok..Brenda - You got me...
A wife-in-law is one of these:
Current husband's ex-wife
--or--
Ex-husband's current wife
===================
Proceed with care...This is not about BP/WV's question...The rest of this is reflection upon how to make the best life for a child that I know and probably because of my little niecelet's arrival...and in hopes that these little ones get the best possible chance at being the best they can ever be.
From my own childhood, I knew that if you want to bring up a kiddo who feels they are important in the big scheme of things, you learn that a failed marriage with a child in it is not "all about me," or "all about you," but is all about the little one. So, you learn to find a place in your family for the new (step)mom. She's not a sorry piece of trash just because your ex- picked her. In fact, neither is he. I have had the wife-in-law/ex in my life so long that they are very much family to me. Good solid family members who love me. And, I love them.
We do, and have always tried to do, birthdays and occasions together. In fact, when my husband died, somehow my wife-in-law was the one available to take me to find clothes to wear to his funeral. She did and I will always love her for that.
Did we have our hard times? Oh yeah. But like sisters, somehow we worked it out for the greater good and she's my family and I love her. When I see her and the ex- we hug and we laugh and we remember together. Was she a problem? Was I? Oh we wanted to be...but we were mature about it and got better and better at maturing. We covered our buttons and moved forward.
Now all that homespun advice about non-dysfunction was uninvited, but if it helps anyone to make a better young 'un who says "I had a great childhood...now I will be a great parent" then that's okay. What a great reward to hear your child say it. Make their childhood about them and teaching them to be adults when the time comes. If anyone benefits from this and softens their edges they'll be glad when that wedding comes, or that first grandbaby comes along and no one is having a pity party or trying to make the scene "all about them."
Suffice it to say that my step-mom and my mother had words at my wedding...my dad and mother still hate one another. It's not going to happen to mine. No way. We can learn from our parents' mistakes and be better at life than they were. I am a much happier person because I choose to be happy. We choose our own destinies and we make it possible to give better ones to our babies.

Good Luck with getting your payment. You have to stay on them.
