  a hard question...must consult a few philosophers before being able to formulate an answer.. no, wait!!!

  i have the answer.

  kate, i luv ya and all that---but, now, kindly step aside and recognize universally acknowledged and incontrovertibly demonstrable laws of conduct: the man owns the remote..

  Even though Iraq was an islam practicing nation, it was not considered an Islamic state. Saddam was a dictatory, it was not a theocracy. So, the women there were not mandated to wear burkhas or shadors. Women were allowed to work and go to school. Women held good jobs and there were even women in government. Saddam may have tortured his enemies, but for the most part, the average citizens were not all that bad off from my understanding.

  I am not saying that you had freedom of speech but how often do people really get into that in everyday life??? I guess someone could want your job and then trump up charges against you......... very possible. So that could be scary in everyday life. Not sure what life was really like for the populous, but I wish I had seen the Oprah show.

  Husband beaten over head with TV remote
  
  

  SEREMBAN, Malaysia, Jun. 15 (UPI) -- A male soccer fan in Malayasia was beaten with a television remote control by his wife for watching Euro 2004 soccer.

  The Malayasian Star reported Tuesday the man, who only wanted to be identified by the name of Yap, said his wife requires him to go to be early so he can get their two children to school in the morning.

  "She refused to allow me to watch the game, although I promised not oversleep or shun my responsibility of sending the children to school," he said.

  But at 2:00 a.m. he snuck out of bed to watch the telecast. However, his cry of disappointment when England, his favorite team, was crushed by France awoke his wife who proceeded to whack him on his head with the remote control unit. She then removed the smart card from the satellite decoder to keep him from watching future live telecasts.

  The soccer fan had to enlist the help of MCA Public Complaints bureau chief, Khoo Seng Hock, who after much persuasion got the wife to relent and allow her husband to watch soccer.

  Things kids say & do that bring a lump to your throat

  you know what i mean ... when they do something **so** nice that you nearly start to blub !!.

  the other day angharad had gone out and i was joking with the kids that with mum gone, they could have a pint of beer with me if they wanted (to see what they would say).. liam (7) told me in an earnest voice "dad, i don't think i'm old enough to drink beer yet.

  i think i have to be 16" (16 = grown up to him for everything ... he's already sussing out how old he needs to be to drive).. well, i told him how i was proud he was so sensible and wasn't afraid to stand up and say "no" and that i was really looking forward to when he was old enough to take me out and buy me a pint of beer (ok, father-son moment ... i was getting emotional already).

  My daughter and I were with her dad. She said, "Mommy you are beautiful." I told her she was beautiful, too.

  Then I asked her, "Is Daddy handsome?"

  She answered, "No, he's perfect."

  One for the baby book.

  mum took this picture in the summer (she loves to photograph flowers, mushrooms and insects) and this one really shocked us - look at the head of the moth!

  to us it looks like a little human head!

  very strange.

  All kidding aside.....I think that here in So Cal, the people were so busy and the towns so spread out, that the KH was not the 'center' of your life. When I lived in a smaller town, the KH was where we'd meet to go to lunch, it was not hard to get to and it was always a hub. In the congested cities it was harder to get to, out of the way and hard to park.

  But lax on rules? No way!!! All of the CO's and DO's were longtimers, came to California after having much seniority. Many powerhouses down here. It seemed like information came from Bethel to California then to the midwest. More moderate in thinking instead of inbred power.

  Pioneer Pace!

  2. experiences

  i never had the priveledge to go to any pioneer school or anything, so i was just wondering if there was any special training for this pace that the pioneers walk at, (it is not just limited to the pioneering ones..but they seem to have it mastered) it is noticeable from a mile away, usually breifcase swinging, one arm gesticulating, but not much progress being made.

  We called it the Pioneer Shuffle as well. I have to say, when you spend 90 hours, now 70, you have to shuffle, you have to find a way to enjoy your surroundings. Actually, it was quite peaceful being able to take walks and enjoy the flowers and pretty homes. It was also a way that when I talked to elderly to come out with me, that didn't intimidate them.......they always were able to keep pace.
