The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
It is windy, 48, and drizzling off and on-love the rain, but Spring is coming later here every year since about 2004...
The mid-terms are approaching,
And have an interesting shape-
The ‘rats were all in a coffle
But they have begun to escape
Instead of embracing Obamacare
As Nancy insisted they should
Those paying attention know
The results will not be good
So Obama and his minions are
Reduced to peddling his crap-
But just like Nixon’s capos
They’re walking into a trap...
Yeah, the lady who is taking our bantam chickens on dates brought them over for us. If it doesn’t work out, we can give them back. But they can cohabitate with the chickens, so it shouldn’t be an issue.
They are really cute right now.
Oops, sorry-I think I sent my homework to xs by mistake-I’m multitasking with phone calls for a bid today...
my off-duty sign is up ; )
please post pix of your group!
The Kenyan would love nothing more than to make groups of coffle out of all of us.
I thought the school said too much because the kid is only 8-but the grandparents got in too much of a snit as well. It is a private school, and if they don’t like the dress code, or the way the faculty interprets it, there are other private schools to send the child to. Let me guess-they have already spoken to a lawyer who has shown them visions of a large settlement...
And if the kid is making such a fuss about wanting to be a boy-she needs to be told she is a girl, period, and if she keeps it up, and causes any more chaos she needs an ass beating-not a therapist. I said as much, because that is what I believe-your gender is whatever is in your genes/jeans, and children should not be subjected to confusion about it-they are not adults-they learn from adults.
Consciously uncoupling.
i was put off by the fact that i read on another thread that the grandmother said something like, if she is homosexual or transgender we will love her all the more. why is that even being brought up unless that is something that is part of the issue here? this is not hairstyle and dresscode violations going on here, and the school is hamstrung from saying all that has been going on, bc she is a minor. So the grandparents are out there blathering their version of this and the news always eager to bash the Christians for being neanderthals, are happy to oblige.
From the incubator? What kind of ducks? With a pool, there is no way I would ever willingly have ducks.
they may have subconsciously uncoupled at a prior date...
No, from our partner in breeding.
The two incubating eggs should be hatching soon.
Sounds like the grandparents have a gender identity problem-not the kid. Maybe they think it is cool to have a confused, f’ed up kid that gets a lot of publicity-I say that is child abuse. If they are not capable of bringing up the kid in a healthy, normal way, instead of getting attention vicariously using that child, they have no business with a child at all. And isn’t what they are doing some kind of munchausen by proxy?
Or unconsciously coupled.
two kids resulted from the coupling, i think it was conscious.
“if she is homosexual or transgender we will love her all the more”
Doesn’t that say it all-they will love her more if she is abnormal, or an object of scorn and pity in some way? That is not a good message for a kid-you will not be as dear to us if you are Anna average. Jesus, if those grandparents want to nurture a disadvantaged kid, let them foster one who is mentally or physically disabled instead of creating one to their own specs out of a normal child-disgusting...
I like Donovan’s “Catch the Wind”...
