if you pull on the end of the ear bud a little hard eventually the internal wires will come away from each other and sound will stop coming out of that ear bud. but, unfortunately you just ruined a good par of stereo ear buds. :-)

Now I understand being a single parent myself but she said something that sort of pushed my buttens and it was one of those things that I did my best at staying calm but did say something and am hoping I didn't come across bitchy.

Now, I took care of my kid's dad for two years before having to place him in a home and now make shore his disability pays for it.  I get a bit of Disability under him for the two girls and it covers daycare for the baby and a few light bills.  And I know that because she is saving money to move her parents have alowed her to stay rent free even though she works.  So my reply at first was "well, I have rent and child care and other bills that are more then what I get from their Dad.  And, I don't have people who can help that often."  I paused for a moment and continued, "I hope your able to get your own place soon.".  So of corce Ash calls me to let me know she's home.  And this woman heard part of the call and started in how it wasn't good to let kids walk around.  This anoyed me so I replied, "Well, she has to go some where after school and there is no one to drive her.  So she walks it won't kill her."  She starting asking if Ash had a bike and I egnored the quetion and said my stop was comming up so I couldn't talk to her.  She shut up but I know I'll run into her again.

I thought about just sayihng "Look, I realy don't want to hear all about your life, I'm listning for my stop."  Its just weard and would love to hear how to get away from this woman who wants to tell me how crappy her X Husband is even though I could care less.  Its not like we're friends, and in a way, she's starting to creep me out.
