  Amicus, You are soooo correct.

  I wish I wasn't. I'd love for someone to show me the honest Politician/Party.

  I really want to be proved a "liar".

  Of course y'all know.

  Would MMoor twist the truth?

  Could his message be all lies and subterfuge?

  MMoore would spin things if needed to make a point IMHO.

  But sadly, unless you pray to Jesus for GWB to save us all, you don't need MM to convince you that things have gone wrong.

  I don't think the rank and file Christians in my neighborhood are as twisted as GWB, but they will get painted with the same brush.

  Beware of the idiots you support is the message to the religious right.

  i guess i'm just looking around for other parents experiencing similar situations as i am -while being df'd and having little family support!.

  my oldest (9 yr old) son is asperger's (highly functioning autistic) and ocd.

  i worked really hard with him through behavioral therapy and medication and he is doing so well.

  Hi I feel for you and understand, My first son was born severely disabled and is 10 years old he has multiple problems both physical and mental inc severe epilepsy, mental age that has leveled at 2 years old, I also have a 4 year old and a newborn baby and am a single mum, literatually my life is completely given over to my children.

  Autism is a differcult decease to get diagnosed but once it is there is a lot of info out there about it, I will also say my niece had a learning delays and instead of talking created her own language that only she understood, very few understanble words about the same age as your son she got the help and within a couple of years she was talking normally now she 12 years old and perfectly ok, in fact is top in her school in maths and has been offered early exams, Sometimes for whatever reason kids are delayed on speech but this might just be a hiccup that just needs to be worked through. My sister used to have fun games trying to make speech fun, lots of rhyming and singing.to encourage her.

  Could I feel any more like an ass after my last comment? My last GF had a kid that was kinda messed up because she did drugs and booze before she knew she was preg. She had two other kids that didn't have the same excuse. They all were rotten, eventually though I found that the kid who *was messed up* was a better kid than the other rats. Dealing with any of them was hell...but if I really needed the truth the one who was impaired by drugs would eventually cop to it whilst the others just grinned. There are a lot of things I miss about the other kids, but the kid I trust the most and miss the most is the one that was labeled as the bad one.

  I come here unsure of what is appropriate.

  I have 3 older daughters that are...off the charts? Beautiful, smart, motivated err..kind, etc. Their kids are pretty much the same. My grandbabys are mostly martial artists,actually ma, and shooters who never fight. :)

  How does this fit in with our modern fu world...no idea.

  I come here listening to this bs, knowing most of what we read here is garbage and the spewers of the this crap are deluded or "complicit" spewers of garbage.

  My kids aren't high maintenance.

  My kids are our heart.

  I think my kids are just a few of many. We don't hear about them because the wealthy care not for any not of their class.

  Why would the super rich back the poor (middle class?)

  Err, cept if you had to fight my grandson.

  Smaller congregations are better?

  i keep hearing this from the dubs at work.

  have heard complaints about being in bigger congregations.

  all i can think at those moments is... "do they even realize they are complaining about "jehovah's" arrangements"?

  AMICUS- I'm with ya bro on the pig's tails ! I'm sure they are good, but I'd have to use a friend as a guinea pig first- just to make sure ! LOL! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

  Yeah, the only real way to resolve this to allow Snowbird to present her/his (heh, I'm new here) case before the SLTahoe Apostafest Commitee.

  Just like any international court, there are some issues that really need to be decided, regardless of the time involved, this could take years!

  I propose the SLTahoe commitee reconvene annualy to dedicate themselves this potentially divisive issue.

  Pig tails are delicious! My mother used to cook them all the time when we were kids. They were cheap and really filled us up.

  Damn, really makes me miss my old Martin D-28. More than that it makes me wonder how I could ever have decided to stop jamming with my buds to become one of the JW's.

  The music shown in that clip is timeless.
