Nice gesture, but the ambulance driver was on the phone with pony right after he got the call about the accident. $100 for driver. $$$$$$ for pony.

Most major law firms have these. They just about know everything that you do. Some of you should be worried and some of you should be just ashamed. And Hank, you get a pass because you're special.

Kudos to my local safeway for piping in early 80s music for the entertainment of shoppers. Last night I enjoyed such hits as Send Her My Love and Once in a Lifetime.

Apparently they've gotten some taste. Or realized that the typical late-night shopper is a disaffected professional hoping to recapture its joyful, innocent youth through music.

I would have liked to have seen you dancing to Safety Dance in the beer aisle.

And then he steps up to the plate and volunteers, right?

ETA: Often "too much time on one's hands" is not really your worst enemy.

Only if the receipts aren't for: 1 hose from tailpipe to mouth;

Questions:

1) ladies, if you caught your husband having sex with your dog, would you tell someone?

2) haven't you failed on some level? (leave him, sure, but tell the cops.....)

3) guys- wouldn't you be afraid of angering the pitbull?

4) What position?

Never mind, I guess you have to do it doggie style, otherwise it would want you to kiss it.

No. Start with, draft, practice, playbook, etc., equipment, juice boxes, parents.

How about deserved?

What are the kids' Abilities? Attendence? Attitude?

husband's point to them is the only way kids will learn to play is if they are put in.

Or they can practice with their dads. The kids I know that are good at baseball, for example, are always at the playground practicing and consequently would never cut 4 on a ball to right.

Quote:

He pulled the race and disability card. Both children play a lot more as a result. My son starts and the other kid [deaf] as well. But they told hubby point blank. lOok. the deaf kid is not your child. stay out of it.

If the guy, however, didn't put in the deaf kid and your kid because he was just a jerk, that's different.

the deaf kid is quite talented. but a wild child...so they didn't understand he can't hear out of one ear [8 coaches] and so that was a miscommunication. Now he's in much more [he's our friend's kid] and our friends are much happier....his dad is rah rah but doesn't really know how to approach the coaches....

my kid? he's a big kid and shows some promise...he was able to hold? a kid without getting caught, and he's a bigger kid but not the biggest on the team...hubby felt he was underserved with playing time. Now he starts. I don't necessarily feel that that blunt force was necessary per se, but it got results. But we're a blunt force kind of family with communication, as you can see.

so is she and her whole household fucked up? completely?

Of course it's judgmental. I'm a judgmental person. I think the lessons you're probably teaching your kids about the beauty of materialism and the lessons your husband is teaching them about complaining (or threatening to sue) in order to get what they want instead of improving through their own hard work is socially fatal.

I think dtb was fucking with you in her post, but if she wasn't, my judgmental comment still stands.

I won't even ask why your kid is getting less playing time than the deaf kid.

The deaf kid shows more natural talent. seriously

so why is it I get a shitstorm for being judgmental...on this board and you don't

you don't even have kids dude.

walk 2 miles in my shoes, for real.

And I take offense...my kidsa re not materialistic about clothes, maybe about toys but all kids are. they really could care less. I would never pollute them with my issues. they don't even understand shopping in the women's clothes context. I do it int he city.

It is amazing that you simply cannot look at something someone says without trying to find something that is worse -- like that somehow excuses your behavior. I think it is because you're a brick.

If you cut off the dick, to keep as a keepsake, of a really successful and important banker because he thought you were fat, ugly and stupid, would your defense be that it was okay because cutting off his dick and then murdering him is far worse?
