Edwards will vote no!

They are going to reject him....

[MozartLover]

I should be paying attention to this............C-Span, right?

[Miss Marple]

Well, if they reject him he will just be brought up next time.

[Rivendell]

They are going to reject him....

After the butt whoopin' these RATs took on Nov 5, you would almost think that reasonable minds would conceive that it was this kind of BS (among so many other things) that was behind it. But then, I should realize that reasonable minds and liberal RAT idiots have nothing in common!

Note of advice to the RATs: When your ship is sinking, it's really not a good idea to open the portholes to let more water in...

As Red Foreman from That 70's Show would say - "Dumba$$es"!

[MozartLover]

Thanks you two. I appreciate the advice, I really do.

[lodwick]

Be glad he asked you, and then let him do what he wishes - if his heart's not in it maybe a change of pace and scenery will help him find a new direction. Good luck with it.

[Dog]

Looks like a vote on McConnell....just took place.

[Dog]

Did they just vote on Shedd??

[Holding Our Breath]

You are very welcome, my friend.

[MozartLover]

Sounded like it.........

Mozie - he's an adult, and needs to make decisions as an adult. What I would offer he needs, however, is a full understanding of what those decisions mean to him. This is something that at his young age he is not equipped to handle.

I would suggest that you two take time to talk - actually, you talk and he listen. Make that clear up front, he's had his say, now you have the chance for rebuttal as you haven't weighed in yet, but that you're also going to seek his thoughts in this as it is still a conversation. But make it equally clear that you are not deciding this one way or the other for him - that, I believe, will open up the ears.

He needs to understand what you think will happen if he doesn't stay in school, the possibilities that can occur - both good and bad (don't slant one side too much, it shows your mind is made up - and whether it is or isn't is irrelevent, you still have to be in the game as having an "open" mind). Try to get him to understanding this by asking him questions of what he thinks will happen - and then play out the scenario ("ok, now if that were to occur, then what would you do... "ok, now that you've decided that, these things will follow, then what would you do... etc.). Then keep him engaged.

After making sure he really understands the "real world" ramifications of his decisions, then he needs to know what you are going to do and not do (that is, financial support - which includes place to stay, and so on - this has to do with the fact he really is an adult and that if he wants to make adult decisions there are consequences he needs to consider). This is not so much as to be a hammer (it might have that practical application, but that is secondary), but as knowledge he needs to have to properly formulate a decision.

Now, after all that input and debate, if he still wants time off, and he's willing to do it on his terms, then that's his decision to make.

They are going to reject him....

Then we ought to resubmit Bork in the 108th Congress.

[Howlin]

I just got on. How did Edwards vote??

[Miss Marple]

Shedd passed. Mumbledy voice vote, with only Feinstein and someone else asking they be recorded as nay. I don't know what Edwards voted.

[lodwick]

Bork bump.

[Howlin]

Well, shoot........did I miss the last gasp of the Dems controlling that committee?

BTW, I have a new grandson!

[MozartLover]

One consideration he has to take into account is insurance; he will be dropped from Mr. ML's policy if he stops attending school full-time. Another thing is, his student loans will come due.........I know they will go back into deferment if he goes back in the fall, but he might have to make some montly payments in the meantime........

This is stuff I'm sure he hasn't even thought about.....

[Miss Marple]

Oh, congratulations! We are on baby-watch here. My daughter-in-law will have induced labor by next Thursday if she hasn't delivered by then. She has dilated to 3, so we are just waiting! (We are getting another granddaughter.)

[Neets]

WOW, that is a mouthfull...not sure I am ONE to give advise on that tho...

How ya doin other wise?

[Miss Marple]

Report on Nancy Pelosi coming up next on Fox. Bwahahaha!!
