So we are at the airport, and there's all these peeps with Sturgis T shirts on, and the parking lot is full of motorcycles and trailers.

We are in Dallas now. NOW I remember why I hate the south!
In Rapid, we saw several couples that the man was like 55 year old fat dumpass and she was like 30 something and beautiful leaving from Sturgis.
The upside - a great friend of mine from high school is in town the same time I am. Maybe I can see her after 20 years?

They love your money down there those older gentlemen with those younger pretty girls wreaked of money. I get to spend "quality time" with my 24 yo daughter. I haven't been in town 24 hours when she started in with her tirade about what a suck ass mother I was to her. She had a list! I was so dreadful! I made her eat lima beans against her will. Then 15 mins later tells her sis how she loved vegs as a kid. Eventually, I told her, "well, if I was a sucky mom, you would be living in your parent's basement smoking pot instead of going to college on a scholarship because you got great grades"

That's what I was thinking...wait till she has kids.
For some reason, I thought if I gave her a car when she was 16 - GAVE it to her, and all she had to do was pay for her portion of the insurance...I thought I would be considered the great mom!
NOPE! I wouldn't let her drive anywhere at anytime. And I had no right telling her when and where she could drive HER car.

I am learning new family stories while I am on vacation
When Shelly was 2 1/2 - she liked to hold her breath till she turned blue if she didn't get her way.
One day, Shelly and her mama were in Grandma's kitchen, when Shelly started to turn blue and was refusing to quit holding her breath. Grandma always kept a pitcher of cold water in the refrigerator. Grandma told shelly's mom to hold on, and she opened that frig and pulled out the pitcher of water and just threw the ice cold water on Shelly's face!
Shelly was in such shock, she took a big deep breath of air and that was the end of Shelly holding her breath because she wouldn't get her way.
