Stayed Too Long

My daughter is graduating in a couple of weeks and 3 of her friend's sent me an announcement. I figure it is worth a $20 bill for each of her buddies.

If it is used strictly for legal purposes I see nothing wrong with its use. I guess you will have to ask Puck what those legal uses are though.

+Excellent!!! Excellent!!!

Why do we assume that teachers are out to make life miserable for our children? In the evening, instead of planning lessons for the next day and correcting papers, they are apparently deviously planning how to trick a child into completely disrupting the class, so they can 'cuff em'. Then these crazy instructors decide not to allow cell phones in classrooms just so some kid can mouth off when he gets a call and they can suspend him. And if the teacher in this case is white you can bet it was racially motivated. All irrate parents should ban together and take the schools over. Then you can show the rest of the world how to properly maintain order in the classroom. G-d (finally got to use the dash) knows your time has come.

I got a laugh out of it too, as did my friend Rosie Palm.

Gambino Family Refuses to Use De Palm Anymore Three New York doctors were charged on Thursday with giving large amounts of Viagra and other anti-impotence drugs to mob members in return for construction and auto repair work done by mafia-controlled businesses. ......Shapiro had been treating Gregory DePalma, who prosecutors say is a powerful "captain" in the Gambino family, for a heart condition, Herman said.

The left does not weigh in against communist slaughters. Under Mao Tse-Tung's Great Leap Forward 20 million died. He is held in high esteem for his 'famous' quotes. The Dems can not get enough of Fidel Castro even though he continues to kill his countrymen. Jane Fonda loved the communists in Viet Nam and still can not figure out why she is so hated for it.

Thanks for the information Sharon. This Friday I will set a side time to reflect on man 's inhumanity to man. More than that how folks somehow found the strength and endurance to live through those horrific events. I can not imagine what it must have been like.

You make it sound like McDonalds executives purposely put drugs and feces in their meat. Then compare doing it with molesting children. On the 'Obesity Threatens Military Readiness' thread you posted the following: According to this post meat gets feces on it because big companies do not work slowly resulting in the meat getting dropped in feces. So it must not be a McDonalds only plan to introduce feces in their meat. It happens at the slaughter and butcher plants in the course of preparing meat for market. And this meat could end up anywhere in the world not just at McDonalds, where a supposed conspiracy has been hatched to make our children obese. Conceivable this meat could end up in the White House, Your kitchen, my Saturday bar-b-que, Vincente Fox's box lunches given to illegal's preparing to cross our border, or a school lunch program.

You feel it is constitutionally right for NAMBLA to be able to teach adults how to entice young boys to have sex. And advertising a hamburger should be illegal?

The fact is the military will not work with out-of-shape youth past a certain point. They will give them the opportunity to get their weight down in a given period of time, but if that is not accomplished, it is back into civilian life. Many are working to get obesity classified as a mental illness. Some even want to have obese people classified as a minority. That way individuals will not be responsible for over eating, and can blame it on someone or some past event that happened in their lives.

When my daughter was growing up she lived in the same house as my then wife and me. This fact alone gave use hundreds more opportunities a year to influence her more than McDonalds. Do you have a study or authority that will backup your claim of McDonald's having hundreds more opportunites a year to influence my child more than me?

While it is true boot camp will get recruits in shape. they have to stay in good conditon through out their hitch. or be dishcharged. Even as a member of the Air National Guard I had to weigh in twice a year. They knew my height and set the scale for the maximum weight I could weigh. If the scales tipped it was time for the fat boy program. It was no fun being required to loose pounds. Weigh ins and counseling all the time. I don't remember the time period to loose the unwanted pounds, but it was discharge time if the pounds did not come off.

I googled "peopslters" and found them to be a sub species of gremlin who's main interest in life is to clean out the residue left inside straws used by coke snorters. Peopslters children start out quite young cleaning bongs.

Unfit For Combat "The pool of recruits who meet physical qualifications are shrinking as young people grow fatter. In the past 20 years, the percentage of overweight children has tripled, and the waist size of 18- to 22-year-old soldiers has grown 2 inches. "That's our Nintendo generation," said Col. Karl Friedl, also of the Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine." It looks like those who do not want to send our troops overseas to fight will get their way after all. If current obesity treads continue we will have a hard time recruiting sufficient healthy men and woman to protect the United States.

Seems like a legitimate claim. Whether the product is cookies, cars, or carmels, it takes money. If the lawsuits were not filed some girl would miss out on a great experince.

How about this from Trefor Heywood:

Active Way people I know have shown no interest in being in my circle. When out and about and one should spot me, they quickly look the other direction, and continue with their shopping. But this also happens with people I have previously worked with as well. Sometimes at the store they will not even acknowledge me. I have done this also a few times. Neither of us loses any sleep over it. I have also happened upon ex-Way, talked with them for awhile, and then said goodbye. It was apparent we had no interest in hanging out together. Life goes on. The past is just that, the past.

The man is 78 years old, so if you do not care for him, wait a few years and see how you like the next one.

If it weren't for the person that shot out the window in my car I would never have met the nice folks at the glass shop either. Guess I do not understand your post. It appears you are thankful for VPW screwing people over so you can meet them at GSC? I am not thankful to the jerks who shot my window out for bringing the glass shop folks and me together.

QUOTE]Quote of Lindy: What is interesting is how you ask the question as if I should be able to come up with an answer, as if not being able to puts me at some sort of disadvantage. Unexpainable seems to equate spiritual and/or God, not just ignorance. That was not my intention in asking the question. I used to believe the paranormal was done through devil possession. Now I am not so sure and asking for other possible explanations.

I was not attempting to link homosexuality and child molestation. The question was brought forth of where is the outrage and indignation when this heinous crime is committed against our children? I was making the point you would not find the ACLU outraged because of their defense of the North American Man Boy Love Association. NAMBLA supports men sexually abusing and molesting young boys.

As I was preparing my post excathedra made an additional post at 17:00, which I had not yet read. My post was at 17:10. As the then husband of a former league official and coach, my ex wife was constantly being called by parents who did not like the way she played their child. At games it was a pain just to show up because she would get jumped for not handling this play right, or why didn't she do this instead of that. Believe me there is very little joy from a coach's perspective in children's sports. The reason many do put themselves through the torture and abuse they receive is because no one else will take the position. If they do not do it their kid and others will not get to enjoy the games. These are volunteers who freely give many hours of their precious time. Two or three practices a week, calling to find out why little Johnny has not been to practice for a while, phoning parents to remind them it is their turn to provide refreshments, calling multiple times to see why Joey has not brought his money for his new uniform. Today coach's must be constantly on the lookout for being physically attacked and harmed. Verbal abuse if just part of the game anymore and has to be put up with, although some places are putting limits on it now. It seems yelling insults at a coach and critism of how a league or game is run, is a right we have been endowed with by our creator. I was seeing her post from the perspective of a volunteer who puts up with more abuse than they should ever have to. I over reacted to excathedra's post and I am sorry. I agree it was not spelled out in the rules so she had a right to question the league.

For cryin' out loud....give the coach and the league a break. Let them do what they are there to do: teach the kids a few things about throwing and hitting a stupid ball. The sun will rise tomorrow morning. The best thing your son can take away from this is to learn not to be late. Instead he probably has learned to see himself as a victim.
