Helen, have you really never seen this? It is bizarre and apparently is only works with DIET coke. Honestly I want to know what it does in your stomach if you eat these two together.

Thanks lush,
I was ignorant of such experiments. Boy, it looks like fun. You are right, what happens if that mixes in ones stomach???
Maybe I could get a job as a fountain in the parks of Versailles.

Lori,

Re enginering blueprints ... as there are literally thousands of rocket designs, I suggest you Google Water Rockets. Depending on the severity of your obsession, you can pressurise baby rockets with a bicycle pump or ... if you're really serious, I use an air compressor through a 24v solenoid. My rockets are painted and have fins and skirts and parachutes. A good launch is almost orgasmic. I don't tell many people.

You serious rocketeers and pea-shooters need to check out these books:
*BACKYARD BALLISTICS by William Gurstelle (How to build potato cannons, paper match rockets, Cincinnati fire kites, tennis ball mortars and more dynamite devices)
AND
*THE ART OF THE CATAPULT, same author (Build Greek ballistae, Roman onagers, English trebuchets, and more ancient artillery).
:whee: :whee: :whee:
:goodluck:

Thanks Tawny,
I see the errors of my ways. Pea shooters, really, I must acquaint myself with the Twentyfirst Century promptly. You guys may just have launched a monster.

Tumadre.... I just may not have time for MWO anymore after ordering all those books...

Lori -- yes, you have met a kindred spirit here. Last time I "kind of" got in trouble in public, was when our whole family was out to dinner one Friday night at our favorite Mexican restaurant. Well... I quickly scoped out the scene looking for the perfect victims... LOL! There was this one HUGE table consisting of at least three generations, all the way down to a baby in a high chair who was extremely fussy. Well... I am not ALL bad with my laser light; in fact, I think most mothers would thank me. My husband snatched it from me before I could get it aimed on the high chair and took over. Well the baby stopped fussing and became very "happy". We bounced that red dot all over the tray of his high chair in which his hands would try to grab it. Of course when the adults looked over, we had to quickly make that do go away. But then the baby would cry again....

(And Becca dear, I know all about the cornea thing -- my brother taught me that before he ever allowed it to go in my hand!)

So I proceeded to do little random light dots on their table, and the teenage girls became determined to figure out "who" this was. So its not to hard to determine the direction its coming from, so they narrowed down our booth. So seeing how we had two teenagers with us, they figured my son to be the obvious culprit. Meanwhile... back at the booth... LOL... my kids are going... "MOM, stop it!" So we just happen to leave right before they did, and as my son had taken his car separately, he left first. He walked by their table and the man of the "house" said... "Nice laser light son." My son threw his hands up and said, "Its not me!" They glared at my daughter who stared at the floor, and never even glanced at my husband and as we payed the tab and acted like normal adults! So they are standing out in front of this restaurant picking their teeth with toothpicks when my son drives right past them and one of the girls yells at him, "You think you are sneaky... well we KNEW it was you blah, blah (that would mean cuss word). So then as they are shaking their heads, my husband and I drive by in our "people carrier" mobile... and I turned that laser light on and did it ALL over the place in front of them. That girl who had just cussed my son out... I think her jaw hit the concrete. She looked at me in HORROR and said... "OH MY GOD!!! YOU'RE LIKE A FREAKING MOM!!"

It was SO worth it. I keep spare batteries all the time now.

Thank you, Allie, for a story that makes me proud to be a Mom! My best times are when my daughters are in public...Yelling out the window "MAKE GOOD CHOICES" is a FUN thing to do. First day of college, I had to drop my daughter off on the way to work...I waited, traffic backing up, until she was surrounded by other students, and far enough away to have to yell...I laughed so hard at the look on her face. Also good to use when their going on a first date with someone...
It comes from the movie "StepMom" with Susan Sarandon & Julia Roberts. A tear-jerker at the end, but has all the funny/emotional/mom-daughter moments to make it a favorite.
Dancing in the car, singing loudly, using phrases that should only come from a teenager's mouth...I know how to embarass my daughters, and am proud of myself!
I so needed this laugh.
Tumadre

P.S. I do have a bookstore, so let me know if you want me to send you those books...It'd be worth it, but we'd miss you around here. I'm sure you'd make the newspaper!

Allie,
oh how I enjoy your teenagers curling up in embarrasment over their mothers un-motherly behaviour. Would have loved to be there. My daughter too thought I was a perpetual, unsufferable embarrassment to her and I enjoyed every minute.
