they tied it to the door to keep their 3 year old from pulling the barrel over on her.

They had a 3 year old? Wow, hopefully the child was taking a nap when her mother drowned.

Stupid people come in all shapes, sizes and income levels. Something sounds very odd about this.

Bad puddy will getcha every time, it seems.

Been reading the anti-marriage threads, huh?

“More proof that cats are evil creatures.’

I was thinking of the words when I saw your post. It covers my feelings quite well. Thanks.

You can’t be that ignorant.

[MinuteGal]

Sounds like the Keystone Kats are (not) investigating this unusual catastrophe.

Kinda sad, but I cant stop chuckling.

This story has a smell. But we’ll see.

[Sue Perkick]

The child could have climbed up & fallen in. In that case it would be better for it to tip over. Why the desperate need to drag a barrel into the house to thaw the ice in the first place? Assuming there was even a reason, there are ways that could have been done without bringing it in the house. Doesn’t add up.

stupid human!

[thefactor]

you have no idea. he's as ignorant as they come. he's a known disruptor. back-woods curmudgeon who has never EVER made a mistake.

i'd say ignore him, but he still won't go away.

[thefactor]

huh? 55 GALLONS is a lot of liquid. here is the size:

[Sue Perkick]

The barrel had a 55 gallon capacity but it was only about 1/3 full.

if you have fallen in head first, your head would be under water and you would be unable to push yourself out if your arms were pinned at your side.

[Sue Perkick]

I see how that could happen & since it was tied she couldn’t have turned it over to escape. I really hope this was just an accident. The whole story is just odd. A terrible way to die.

You can’t be that ignorant.

No, but I can be that obstinate and resistant.

BAAAD? I thought that was someone else.

[DeLaine]

That’s a different kind of baaaad. You have to hear my voice when I say you are baaaad. You know.
