I am now starting a new club, the I Hate Princess Club. We are not exclusive, we will take any who want to join -- which will probably be anyone who has met her. We will be meeting at 4am in her bed every morning. Bring all the noise makers you can find, and crumby snacks will be provided in abundance. Our motto is going to be the loudest belch you can muster, so fizzy drinks will be provided too. She runs a heater full blast in her room all night, no matter how hot it gets in there, so wear your summer clothes and be prepared to sweat. Hopefully you do not mind washing your hands with cold water, because wherever Princess is using water, there will never be any warm water left. And I hope you don't mind drip drying after going to the bathroom, because there is nary a scrap of toilet paper to be found in any bathroom she uses. Odds are the sink will be backed up from all her hair balls that she leaves in there, so you may want to bring hand sanitizer just to be on the safe side. Do not bring anything you value, because she does not understand personal possessions and assumes everything is there for her use. And she will not warn you when she uses something up, so be prepared to get a nasty surprise when you go to use whatever it is. Bring a flashlight, because her room is a hodgepodge of clothes and other teenager crap that must be spread across the floor, not put away, and I don't want anyone to impale themselves on her stuff. When using the bathroom, be prepared to have the door flung open on you without so much as a knock to warn you, so don't be doing anything you don't want an audience for. If she should wake up during the course of the meeting, be ready for a steady stream of negative, snarky, rude comments meant to show you how hopelessly uncool and uninformed you are, so be sure you have a thick skin before you join. This is not a club for the faint of heart; you must be a secure person, confident in the fact that you are not as uninformed as 7th graders think you are, or you will be eaten alive. We will be discussing, among other things:
1. How does anyone survive their teenager years without an adult killing them?
2. Should raging, unchecked hormones be illegal?
3. Is it impossible to talk to someone in a normal tone of voice?
4. Should I see if the neighbors would like to use my stuff too? Maybe the public in general would like to use my stuff. Maybe I am being selfish by not sharing my pit juice with the world.
5. Will I ever be as cool and smart as a teenager, or is that just a ridiculous pipe dream?
Any topics that you feel need to be addressed will be added. If you are unsure of what would be a good topic, come spend a few minutes with Princess and your ideas will flow from you faster than you can write them down. Now I will close this announcement with our motto:
BELCH!
See you at 4 tomorrow morning.

YAY! You made it back through all that HORRIBLE weather in Arizona!! Heck, I'd join the I hate princess club just to annoy a teenager. I like that idea so much I can't wait till my niece is old enough for me to embarrass!! I am taking all your pointers from the previous post (stocking cap, pjs, and such) and will be adding crappy house shoes (preferably something that looks like I stepped on a pair of untrimmed poodles, in pink!)
New question for you - I don't know what they look like but have you ever considered selling your rugs on a site like Etsy? Maybe you already do but if not you might check it out. That is, if you are still making them...
BTW - Linda and Mustanginblue are the same person...
Age and time also appear to have some effect on disease progression. Most people who are categorized with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progress to secondary-progressive stage between 5 and 15 years into the disease.
Best of luck for your new club.
