Another kid killed by own mother

Post #31,184 by Silverlock 3/7/02 10:58:46 AM Reply	Another kid killed by own mother Right here in my town. She stabbed her two boys, one dead the other just upgraded from critical to serious. Judge says she is incompetent to stand trial. Seems to me any mother who kills her own kids is, by definition, insane. But what do I know, I'm not a mother. From the local [link\|http://www.news-gazette.com/story.cfm?Number=11144\|paper]. I don't think the nationals have picked this up yet. With this much manure around, there must be a pony somewhere.

How many "Time Bomb" Moms do we have out there who are ready to snap and kill their own kids? "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

Find out how to stop your daughter from doing that, and get your wife some help. My son knows how to push my buttons, but I am changing them so that he can't push the same button twice. What he does that works against mommy, doesn't work against daddy. He already learned that one already and he is only three. I've given him a lot of "time outs" and a few times spanked him. I don't normally believe in spankings, but when talking, time outs, and other stuff fails, sometimes you just got to slap them on the rear end to get their attention about what they did was wrong. I hope that he can learn from it. Say, how about a parenting forum, where we can share what we do that works with other parents? parenting is a very hard thing to do. I bought the Dr. Spock book, but it does not cover everything. "Will code Visual BASIC for cash."

The women were pregnant, and bitching about not getting sex anymore. Al told his buddies there was no point in having sex with a pregnant women. It was like filling your car up with gas right after you totaled it. I laughed. My wife threw a full 2 liter bottle of Coke at me. Hard.

Then Jobs convinced him to stop selling "sugar water" and come on over to Apple. Then Sculley ousted Jobs. Coca-cola had the three liter bottle, but got rid of it and now has 1 and 2 liter bottles. A local soda maker, [link\|http://users.arn.net/~sirrah/pages/vess.htm\|Vess], has 2 and 3 liter bottles of their soda. Vess also has no sodium in their soda, and claims to have billions of bubbles. [link\|http://www.kashrut.com/consumer/soda/\|And it is Kosher!] Too bad that Vess doesn't appear to have their own web page? But there is a [link\|http://www.catsupbottle.com/other/otherpix/vess.html\|Giant Vess Soda Bottle] you can look at. :) "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."

Post #31,752 by nking 3/11/02 8:53:41 PM Reply	Depends on where it is bottled I guess? A pint of Jack Daniels or a Litre/Liter/Howeveryouspellit? You know who tried to keep the metric system down in the good old US of A, right? "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."
Post #31,783 by wharris2 3/12/02 2:02:51 AM Reply	Never seen a pint of Jack Daniels But then I'm not that much of an experienced drinker. And again, I'm in a state that has tightly, one might say strictly, one might say anally, regulated liquor sales. State liquor stores. Nobody other than state-sponsored places can sell liquor. No surprise to me that "alternate formats" might not show up here. Where each demon is slain, more hate is raised, yet hate unchecked also multiplies. - L. E. Modesitt

But I thought they had quarts, pints, etc of some whiskey? I do know; however, that beer comes in kegs and half-kegs from my fraternity days. :) "Will work for fair salary and benefits, seeking company with integrity."
Post #31,940 by wharris2 3/12/02 9:16:37 PM Reply	Can't say that they don't All I can say is that I've never seen English measurement liquor on sale anywhere, mostly Ohio, Indiana.
