Ours is in September.

Sport's dad loved Hawaii, and lived in Waikiki on several occasions. Lost his vision there in an accident that took place in Pearl Harbor--21st anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day, in fact. A few days after he went blind he was guiding his father all over Oahu. He took us there as a family...

Miss your dad a lot today, Sport. A great deal. My natural dad was a hero of sorts. Was in the Army Air Corps, and died in a plane crash in Costa Rica when I was a baby. Everyone who knew him loved him dearly, and I know of no one who has regretted having known him, which is a tribute in...

The little girl sitting next to me looked at me in surprise when I started chortling about the IX on the love potion bottle. I came home singing, "But when I kissed the cop..." Talk about bringing back my adolescence. But I loved the reemergence of "the Muffin man" from the first film. And...

As for bipolar not being a reason for using drugs--my experience in meeting active and recovering addicts has indicated that very often they are subject to serious biochemical imbalances, and that their reasons for using do indeed include self-medication. Sport here introduced me to the...

I wonder who gave the model a hand?

Re: The Liberals’ excuses!!!!!!! As for the Kid being a liberal--agreed--a bit of a problem for his moderate of a mother! Heh! (Takes after his father, who was a Democrat! SHUDDER!) :swing:

I was in the office with my husband. I was checking email or the WM3 site--can't remember which. Neither of us could believe it.

Re: The Liberals’ excuses!!!!!!! Let's see--the ones who were loudest in condemning Clinton for his sexual pecadilloes, Hyde and Gingrich--were keeping mistresses; and Gingrich chose to leave his wife when she was in the hospital dying of cancer to marry his mistress. Seems typical of those...

Re: The Liberals’ excuses!!!!!!! One day I might actually meet a completely "normal" child or adult--at which time I will faint. As the Kid will tell you, I got him and his sister pre-growed--which seems to be my lot in life, dealing with other folk's children. And I teach special...

No, Sport--not mistaken. Everyone has his or her own opinion. Some folk just love it. I just want more story and less highlights. Didn't go to see just the highlights.

There were school robes, but they didn't wear them as much, which apparently made the girl playing Hermione happy, as she says they make her itch. Didn't wear them into Hogsmeade. And they weren't allowed into the Leaky Cauldron--Harry got in only because he was wearing his invisibility...

Two thumbs up? For that skimming of the book? OMG, Sport! I loved the cinematography, but felt I was only getting the highlights of the book. No real character development, no real story development. Trelawny was scalped to the bare minimum, as was Dumbledore, and we didn't get enough...

I just wish our kids had listened more when they were teens. Sounds like you and I actually are in agreement, Gato, and that we both tried as hard as we could at the time to do what was right in instructing our kids. But we found that peer pressure was a stronger influence with the kids...

My favorite comment ever made by one of the kids? "You know what I hate about you? You make me think, and I don't want to." That day I just about died laughing. All I could respond was, "But that's what I'm SUPPOSED to do!"

Oh, I see yours, but it doesn't completely fit, does it? Big Bro told his kids not to use drugs, but admitted he'd used them. He tried using how his drug use caused major problems in his life as justification for not using them, but Neph still saw it as hypocrisy, even as Big Bro showed he...

My prayers are with the family.

Staph infection, eh? Not at all uncommon, you'll find. And it's when we don't read the small print in the legislation passed we find that we are losing out. Everything this administration has done has been rife with small print, you'll discover when you start looking at their policies in...

By the way--am NOT and never have been a member of ABB. My one other political discussion group is an email list, and a limited one at that. And there I am seen by those on the left as being to the right while those on the right see me as being a flaming liberal, which the true flaming...

Agreed, many children who are in crisis have less than adequate parents--but that is NOT always the case. Have a case right now where a kid is out of control, and it is NOT the parents' fault--the kid has serious biochemical imbalances which they are trying desperately to isolate and offer...
