good, i hate to tone down the chirpiness, when i could just as easily be a caterwauling shrew....

my 10 yo son is home sick today. thankfully, actually, since last night after i read about the Yates verdict on FR i went into the other room where the kids were and said "Andrea Yates...guilty...fry her butt". He was mimicking me the rest of the night with that and i had visions of him going into class intoning that today. i have no problems being known as pro-death penalty, but that was just a tad too flip!

[xsmommy]

This was obviously posted on the wrong forum, so i brought it to class from the news side... Camle, this has your fingerprints all over it. we will now have you searched daily for upward facing cameras....

[TxBec]

I'm torn here.. The death penalty in Texas is a lethal injection, quick and relatively painless. I've suffered more than that during any one of my illnesses/surgeries I've had, not to mention those poor babies..

I heard somewhere that some people on deathrow are anxious to "get it over with"..I think a worse punishment is to live out the rest of her days on death row.. waiting.. in a cell plastered with pictures of her children...I've also heard "you can never run from yourself".. being left to remember what she has done is more cruel than putting her out of her misery. make sense?

[xsmommy]

Yes, it does make sense. i guess i am figuring she will get her just desserts in the hereafter....sooner rather than later....

[TxBec]

oh she will..

[hobbes1]

bella it always amazes me to see you here early in the AM, because i know you are 3 hours behind me!

Actually I am amazed Miss Bella is home so Early!. (The Bars aren't closed at 1:30....)

[xsmommy]

hey OPH, bring your show and tell here to class.....

[xsmommy]

did not! did you see this?

This is a great thread, also posted on the wrong side...

[TxBec]

C'mon now.. we hang out in the "stupid" posts... Do they realllly expect us to figure out which side to post on too? LOL

[xsmommy]

I suppose i am reconciled to being a remedial poster....

[hobbes1]

That's O.K. I am sure you have other............talents.

[xsmommy]

thanks for noticing!

[hobbes1]

You're welcome.Now put your clothes back on.

[xsmommy]

you are an unbelievable snot!

[hobbes1]

Unbelievable....Yes. But Snot....???? I said you're wlecome.....Or...Should I have said..Thank you.

Oh, great--I finally get the courage to join school, and the teacher leaves.

Sorry, I was feeling animadversive about work. :-) Welcome to WFTD, we don't bite... much.

Well, here goes: I give the ACLU ten seconds to show animadversion to the terror level color code from Mr. Ridge. They'll decide it's discriminating against color-blind people.

LOL! I can see them doing this too, it would be just like them.

A+

[Slip18]

Just catching up on the morning crowd, and I see that???

"we hang out in the "stupid" posts"

I really resent that, especially since HLL of the Guild is on the "smart" side.

No one has told me which side the Fundraiser will be on . . .

Has anyone seen Gabz?
