This clip is one of the cutest I've ever seen - it's of a little girl explaining what she would do if a monster came to her house:

funny kid stories
by JeffT inour office manager and i are always swapping funny kids stories - about her boys, a 5 year old and one born in september, and my granddaughter.
so a few days ago the 5 year old walked up to her and asked in a very calm voice "mommy is motherf***er a bad word?".
when relating this one my daughter, who teaches preschool said that one of her four year olds, while heading for the car to go home suddenly said (also very calmly) "oh goddamn it i left my book in class.

Getting the forum back on track
by Simon inrecently we seem to have had a few different dramas and subsequent fallout on the fourm which i feel has detracted from its purpose.
with this in mind we have decided that we need to bring the forum back on track and as such we will be clamping down on a lot of the aggressive / insulting posts which have begun to become the norm for a few people.
we will also be clamping down on the paranoid assusation type of comments against newbies, if someone joins the fourm and you do not believe everything they post - so what, why do we need to hound them away with shouts of troll and fake etc, just ignore them if you dont beleive them.

Just because someone may not express themselves well doesn't automatically mean they are fake.
If people post stories online and there are major inconsistencies then people have the right to challenge them and to know if they are for real. If the person chooses not to respond then that is a response in itself and people can draw their own conclusions from it.On the other hand, many of the supposed falsehoods are trivial, unimportant or could be misunderstandings and I fail to see why people get soo emotional about them. Has someone told a lie on the internet and you found them out? Wowee ...
Frankly, it's pathetic how some people behave though from both sides. Some people are getting far too worked up and involved over what is just an anonymous (to them) screen name on another computer somewhere in the world. We do not need the whole constant drama and it encourages people who just seek attention.
If you cannot cope with an anonymous person on the internet possibly not being everything they describe then you should NOT get so emotionally involved with them in the first place. By all means make acquaintences online but don't imagine you are really best pals with someone you don't know and have never met.
On another subject, we will no longer be allowing ANY solicitations for donations or funds from the forum without prior consent, no matter how well intentioned or well deserving the cause may appear to be as time and again it appears to cause trouble. There have been several incidents lately where we've had to put up with the fallout of people getting bent out of shape over things like (often from other places) this so it just saves us having to get involved. There is nothing to stop anyone contacting people privately but we will no longer be allowing the open fourm to be used for this purpose.Thanks, Simon
Sounds great - I couldn't agree more!

I didn't notice this time glad to say! I've been spending a lot of time with my grandson and my kids. It's been real nice. The little guy is a real havoc wreaker at times but so cherishable. You know how it is.

Shoulder is dislocated/subluxated
by seeitallclearlynow inhave you ever had this condition?
it's not a full-blown dislocation as might occur in a sports accident.
but it's very uncomfortable and the chiropractor keeps trying to put it back in place.

seeitallclearlynow
Thank you all so much for your suggestions and experiences in this! It sounds much more serious than I had realized, because thinking back, it has actually bothered me for years, and only recently has it been so persistent! So that makes me realize it has gotten progressively worse, as some of you have explained it would. Shoot! I'll go to the doctor this week then. I've been taking a little Darvocet and Excedrin and adjusted the height on my computer chair, at home anyway, and have had some little relief. But obviously, I'll need to do much more.
Thanks again!

My account of a trip to the 1969 District Assembly
by RunningMan inwell, i've decided to try my hand at a different type of writing.
my atheist's book of bible stories is nearly complete, so i thought i would write the epic masterpiece history of my family, from the time that they came to canada until today.
i am calling the book "east of edenwold" (which is a small town in saskatchewan).

I believe that classifying this as the high point says something about how desperate we were for a break in the monotony.
Exactly.
Oh wow; so many years of this! Oh well, could have been worse! Could have been in prison or something. Lol.

Have you ever had this condition? It's not a full-blown dislocation as might occur in a sports accident. But it's very uncomfortable and the chiropractor keeps trying to put it back in place. He is only temporarily and partially successful. I'm thinking I should just go to Kaiser and get regular medical treatment.
What do you suggest?

Slap Uncle Bruce Here ~ Weak Poll #1
by unclebruce ing'day rude people,
some of you are just now learning what long-suffering older posters have known all along i can be very annoying!
my rising paranoia tells me enemies are setting up all around ... golf keeps whacking me with his #12 iron, the elders keep threatening to take me to the backroom, and even the mild mannered caveman comes out to kick me in the go-nuts

I'm rooting for you to succeed, Steve, and you can do it, I'm sure! My brother helped my mother kick the alcohol habit relatively easily, which was such a shock to the whole family. But after being a hopeless alcoholic all of our lives, after some 30 or more years of it, she just lost her appetite for it because of the nutrition program my brother put her on. I don't know exactly what he had her do, but basically he supplied her with meganutrients, plenty of B-complex, supplements, quality protein, candy and juices, and she literally stopped craving alcohol. It was wonderful to see.
Cigarettes were a different matter.

Eduardo, I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you comfort at this difficult time, and at the funeral. Hopefully the majority in attendance will be among the kinder, warmer Witnesses who are rare, but who do exist.
