Strap the kid into an outfit like Anthony Hopkins wore in Silence of the Lambs and throw him into the garden shed for a night.

our two eldest sons and their wives went to las vegas for the week today.
i have the 2 year old son of one son and the 14 year old daughter of the other son, for the week (until friday).
the girl (carlie) is an absolute dream, so helpful and has a great personality, but she goes to school everyday.

this goes into the whole football-soccer thing.
i was watching a sports channel last night and an nfl-europe game came on between the scottland claymores and the amsterdam admirals.
the stadium was huge (regular football stadium) but it looked like about 500 people were in attendance.
the US is number 10??? WOW.
When your opponents are usually pot-heads from the Caribbean, it's easy to win lots of games and increase your ranking.

to all who have been following my lawsuit against the society here in canada, the judge is to make her decision this week.
it has been a long 8 months since the trial, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that she makes the right decision when it comes to protecting the children (and myself) from the wrongs of the society.
we have not heard yet if she needs more time, so friday is the end of her extension.
Hello Vicki:
We're certainly all keeping our fingers crossed that the Judge comes up with a decision in your favour. I can't imagine the tension you're going through right now, but you've been an inspiration to many!
Here's hoping for a celebratory June!

i've heard the grand canyon got started by a scotsman that dropped a penny in a ditch.
is that true?
i've heard that's for real !
Don't be silly, Scotsmen never drop pennies.

this afternoon a guy i met on line through yahoo singles came by the art gallery to meet me in person.
in the course of our conversation, he mentioned he was a scientologist and used to teach scientology in hollywood.
i guess that he could tell by my lack of response that i wasn't thrilled to hear that.
Robyn:
RUN!
Seriously, Scientologists are bad news. Like the Watchtower, only much worse. Please do some reading on them, especially on their techniques of thought-control and indoctrination, such as disconnect (their technique of separating you from family and friends), and auditing (basically high pressure brainwashing).

i remember walking home that night.
by the time i left school, it was already getting dark, and i decided to walk through the town centre and wander round the shops.
i took in all the christmas decorations and lights and colours.
Duncan:
Now I've been able to read the whole thing, I enjoyed it immensely (as usual!). A wonderful Dickensian feel to it. But surely this is just Chapter 1? What happens next, when Great Uncle Jehovah finds out about your rebellion? Don't leave us in suspense!

I think Jehovah is withholding his blessing from Duncan's formatting...lol

anyways, sm writes a letter after two years of silence, full of jw lingo, .
and imho, riddled with guilt.
It's funny how people who are supposed to be the happiest people on Earth and the only ones to have "True Happiness" (TM) have to keep reminding themselves of it over and over again.

the recent algerian earth quake has claimed over 1,000 lives.
quakes hit without warning, indiscriminately killing hundreds in just a matter of seconds.
quakes strike terror in the hearts of people who then become so gripped with fear they are driven from their homes.
Perhaps the UN can pass a resolution (or seventeen) threatening God with "serious consequences" if he doesn't stop his rogue behaviour. Then we can send Hans Blix to heaven to perform inspections.

i don't understand the logic of boycotting the dixie chicks because of the comments the singer made about being ashamed that bush is from texas.
it doesn't make sense to me.
keep in mind that i'm just a canadian, so maybe i'm just not tuned in to the american way of thinking.
After all, I'm just a "bald faced liar with an agenda", right?
Well, let's see now:
You probably do have an agenda. Everyone does. Most of us stick 'em on the fridge.
Bald faced? I certainly hope so! Women who have to shave their faces are a definite turn-off.
Liar? Rubbish!
