DAD'S how much time do you spend,,,,
by Quentin in

as a father, or grand father, do you get your kids up in the am, feed them breakfast and get them off to school?

pick them up after school...take them to piano, or, any other activity?.

if so, why... and for how long?.
BrentR

I do it on average 4 days a week and I only have one but it's still a PITA! My wife is a paramedic and works 12 hr shifts so she is gone 14-16 hrs a day. So I am stuck with holding down the fort which is like giving a chainsaw to a termite.

Woodpecker Plan Has Big Price Tag

the ivory-billed woodpecker has thought to be extinct.

a supposed siting(i am sure is on youtube) perked the interest of wildlife people all over the world.

as the article points out, over a 5 year time span 27 million dollars is proposed to keep this bird from extinction again!

What does the meat taste like?
But seriousely the most efficient way to keep an animal from extinction is to create a market for it. Has anyone seen a wild cow herd lately? A flock of wild chickens? If we did not have a taste for beef and chicken these critters would have gone extinct long before any wildlife foundations existed to save them.

That is completely obscene!!!!!! But there are quite a few judges over here in the states that give child rapists and molesters a slap on the wrist. My wife's step dad was convicted of second degree child rape and given probabtion. During the probabtion he molested her niece but her mom did not report him since in her words "He has been through enough allready". Beyond pathetic.
That is part of the progressive movement to label a criminal as having a sickness vs behaving outside of what society deems normal, healthy and safe behavior. And then to confuse my brain even more someone over here abuses or neglects a dog and they get sentenced 6 mo to year.
We hear the term "The wild west" conotating roving bands of outlaws that used run loose 150 yrs ago when the west was being settled. I don't know about the rest of you but in hindsight that was a very safe time to be living compared to now. Back then being an executioner was a full time job. Rob a bank your hung, murder someone your hung, molest a child your hung. I doubt they even had the term "repeat offender" back then. It's hard to repeat a crime when you are dead.
Is that why they are referred to as the "good old days"?

My apologies, I meant DMT not (P).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyltryptamine It almost sounds like something I may have to visit. It's legal to use in S. America.

Those orange creamsicles at the assembly proabably had a stimulant in them to keep you from falling asleep during the endless talks. Could explain why they may have tasted so good. Or they may have been laced with DMP so your subconcious mind would actually believe the crap being spewed out.
