Thanks. They look much better now.

[Gabz]

I agree.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I'll be glad when they can add dad to the family portrait soon. Oyeah I forgot. I still believe that Saddam is in disguise now. He is disguised as "smitherines".

[Gabz]

"smitherines". !!!!!!

I love it.

A couple of days after 9/11/01 my then 3yo saw a picture of OBL on my computer and aksed what was his name - I was reading something and abstractly answered her with one word "MUD" she has called him that ever since. She refers to saddam as "Mud's cousin".

We lived near Dover Air Force Base before we moved so she was used to the C-5s. Everytime one would take off she would say "there goes another plane to help President Bush punish punish mud for breaking those buildings."

I had to come up with some way of explaining what was going on to a very smart 3 year old.

help me i got sucked into a Kobe thread and i can't get up.... ; )

[Gabz]

Why did you do that???????????????????

[Conspiracy Guy]

Kids get so much more input nowdays. Just think how smart we'd have been if we'd had it. I spent so much time teaching my kids to be kids when they were little. Now like me they can revert in a heartbeat. Stay on it.

[xsmommy]

bc i got sick of the name calling and i just wanted to ask the main problem person, that honeygrl has been stalked by, if she thought it was possible for a woman to LIE about rape. then i just had to go with it, after that.

[Gabz]

As I have said before - letting her be a kid is why we were so deperate to get out of Dover.

The other day the preschool teacher was concerned because when I went to pick her up her sneakers were still wet from when they were playing in the water in the yard earlier - my attitude was SO? she plays in the water all the time!!!

It was apparent the woman was very releaved by my attitude - sheesh. More time than not I've got to strip the child when I let her in the house - right after I've done the same thing because she turned the hose on me!!!!

[Gabz]

Is honeygrl still be bothered by that one?????

Which thread is it - there are a couple of them going on.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I hosed mine down a million times.

[xsmommy]

this one. it's pretty entertaining.

[Gabz]

I found it - and I'm reding.

I've had numerous run-ins with that CinFla or whatever his handle is - on the smoking threads we call him cinnie!!!!!

[Gabz]

She learned to turn the hose on my from her father - she had never done that to me until recently.

And she cheats at water gun fights!!!!!

[honeygrl]

"you won't catch me opining on a Kobe thread though, for fear of being strung up as a KOBOT! "

lol.. I'm thinking about staying away from those threads today too because I've wasted 4-5days on them already. The article about the party that was up yesterday said they had verified the party story with 5 different kids at different locations so I tend to believe it. And none of them have that Bray couple who defended her actually claiming to be at the party that I could find. They just denied that she acted that way. < s> buuuut of course we all know that KB owns all the media outlets and is forcing them to spin the story in his favor < /s> ;)

[xsmommy]

then don't click on my link, bc that is where i am.... the party thread.... : )

[xsmommy]

i think it is a woman, CinFLA>

[honeygrl]

ooh I *need* a purple diamond. I mean.. I _need_ it... just like food, water, etc....

[xsmommy]

well your anniversary is tomorrow isn't it? ; )

BERLIN, July 23 (Reuters) - Almost one in three Germans below the age of 30 believes the U.S. government may have sponsored the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, according to a poll published on Wednesday. And about 20 percent of Germans in all age groups hold this view, a survey of 1,000 people conducted for the weekly Die Zeit said.

They don't even remember the holocaust because their brains have been pixilated by the constant barrage of denial. They aren't capable of rational thought, be it history or current events.
