Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

One of my girls had three of her loose teeth knocked out by my son (accidently, on three separate occassions).

After a while when she told us she had a tooth loose, we'd ,"go play with your brother." :)

Putin=Orson?

Coast Guard cutter "Dallas" now joined up...helping w/ intercepts...watching for any Iraqi leader who may try to flee.."

That's really interesting.

"AL Gore said in Athens that he wouldn't have started this war."

Al Gore would have repeated Jimmy Carter's term in office.

(big smile here)

My brother still brings up the time I knocked his front tooth out when he was 2. (He had a gap for years!)

I threatened to sell my Daughter into slavery if she didn;t behave..

LOL .. My mom use to threaten to give us up to the Little Sisters of the Poor

I have no idea who they are ...

[commish]

Oh Gawd .. I just got a picture of Al Gore Giving the SOTU "The state of the Union is bad. We are in a Malaise" LOL

Was that Clinton?

I like the bit late last am where Dr. Bob doesn't have a helmet, and the incoming rounds are getting closer so he goes and graps an Iraqi helemt and puts it on ... I was thinking then, gee, what if someone mistakes him for an Iraqi who penetrated the perimeter? He, himself, sounded comfortable enough! (Fear grows with distance -- fear is invert gravity.)

MY mom threatened us with the Dreaded "I'll drop you off at Father Baker's" .. Large Catholic Orphanage in Buffalo.

I think a "major league suck-up" is required in this case. As far as I have seen, they are still spouting the same crap making the wall thicker and higher.

Is there a important reason to have a good relationship with Germany or France? I see some benefit in getting along with Turkey, Russia and China, but Germany and France can't hurt us or help us much it seems.

[valleygal]

I'm so sorry. But I couldn't help laughing. Forgive me. :)

[cajungirl]

That was a totally mean granny trick,,I do not approve of grannies torturing their grands. Altho I did tell one of mine that if he hit his sister again I would call the cops and he would go to prison.

What's with the Party on the Patio by the bagcams? Can anyone decipher this? I'm cubicized so I can't crank up the volume too loud.

[ChewedGum]

Liberation party?

Iraqi Version of a hurricane Party ..."Yo Ameer let's get drunk and watch the invasion dude"

My oldest sister explained to me when I was about 4 why my parents wouldn't let me drink coffee. She said it was better than chocolate and they didn't want to share. Since they weren't home at the time, she offered to sneak me some. I was overjoyed and opened my mouth wide to accept a heaping teaspoon of instant coffee grounds. Oh my God. It was horrid.

Fifteen years later I was babysitting her daughter and asked if she knew why her mother didn't let her drink coffee....

[AppyPappy]

Which camera? I get nothing on the CBS cam

[valleygal]

I just hope (maybe a pipe dream ) that the Arab world, the French and Hollywood hears every word of the stories these people will tell.
