They gassed your kid? :eek: Please tell me I'm misunderstanding this . . .

Nope, you got it right. In fact, I happen to know that at least 63 kids were gassed by the US government this afternoon. And you won't find this news on the NY Times.

The little scientist in my head is intrigued . . . any clues?

I'm sending a cargo container full of a car and bunch of computer parts to Kenya.


In this day and age I hope you have check with Customs/Dept. of Homeland Security on shipping computer parts out of the country.

About 6 years ago, a former associate who worked for me, sent me "Good Luck!" gift when I changed jobs. It was a fake grenade, with a #1 attached to the pin, mounted on a plaque. The sign said, "Complaint Dept. Take a number." He mailed it to me!!!

I never got it! :D

When my older one was about 3 or 4 or so we went down to a local playground that has a nice pond. Of course, it also has lots of geese. So we're driving home, the kids are asleep in the back of the car, my wife & I are gossiping. I happened to say something like "your sister has sh1t for brains". Later we got to talking about the pond, we were surprised that there were so many geese there and what a shame they made such a mess of the whole area. Suddenly we hear from the back seat (yeah, you guessed it):
"Those geese have sh1t for brains!"

Okay, one more post in this thread for me! :)

When my youngest son was three, he accidentally locked himslef in the bathroom. I came to the door, turn the knob, and discovered it was locked. "Oh sh!t!" You guessed it! Form the other side of the door, I heard "Oh sh!t!" :D

That brings back lovely memories of when I was gassed in boot camp. We were required to unmask, state our name, rank and unit. Well, I did that and hadn't felt anything yet so I added one of our motivational sayings. That's when it hit me. They threw me out of the back of the hut where there was a walking track where everyone walked it off. A buddy of mine had to walk me around it because I couldn't see because of the burning eyes. Every pore burned and I was slinging snot and slobber everywhere. Good Times! Good Times!

Am I not understanding this because of my anti-military Quaker background? I mean, is this a military thing?

Look at it as on the job training in a controlled environment. Conceptually not much different from student teaching - if I'm to believe what teachers tell me, anyway.

Well after solving the SARS outbreak by Arbor Day and the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict by July 4, I hope to have the whole world hunger thing sewed up by Mid - August to take some time off to concentrate on the hidden scourge "Seniors On Crack".
Just officiated the National ACE tournament here in our fine city.
Will be hitting the Mid/Deep (I forget which) camp in Charlotte next weekend.
Finished with our Spring League and a local youth ministries league.
Will go to our Association camp in July and August.
Hope to go to the state camp in July
Work our universities team camp in July.
Not much to do in August.
Go to Vegas on the 23 - 27 to teach a class. (No not a gambling class)
Paint the inside of our house. This is supposed to be a "We" project, but in this instance there is an "I" in "We"
Stain the decks.
Wash the cat
Ramble aimlessly on this board.
