i eat babies

I just realized...

I never see Megil Tel Zeke anymore.

Being female I seem to have this bred-in reaction to the big-headed, large-eyed, small nosed specimens like puppies, kittens and babies ... thinking that they all are cute.

However, I don't want to hold them or have them climbing on me. I only like well-behaved children and yes, they are extremely hard to find anymore. And I blame the parents.
I remember when it was just common curtesy when a child was crying or squealing that horrible screech that only a mother can't hear - the parent would take the child out of the movies-store-church-restaurant, until the child calmed down and was quiet again. But not now - they look at you like they want to axe you in the head if you even look sideways as their brat screams its head off over the dialogue of the movie. It's the rude parents that need to be disaplined.
But enough of that - we need more children born so they will pay our social security like we paid the old people ahead of us, right President Bush? Isn't that how it works, President Bush?? President Bush! Your gonna confiscate all the social security funds and pass them out to your rich oil buddies?? Pres, what the heck do we need the kids for then? Executions all around! hehe

So I am very glad to hear that Stomach Ache is doing okay. I think your situation sounds promising. Four are better than two when it comes to trying to pull together and make it work. Shame that you all do have to sleep outside for 2 weeks, I hope you all have a tent and sleeping bags and all the neccessary gear. Or that you can trade some foodstamps somehow for at least a sleeping bag if you don't.
I think that you did the right thing if you had bad parents. A wise but probably very difficult and scary to make decision. Better to find friends who are a good influence in your life than living under the roof of bad influences. I hope you guys all get jobs and it sounds just delightful about the efficiency apartment. That is all we've lived in the past 21 years .... but really, it's great to have your own space at all, no matter what the size.
So, please do keep us informed and do be careful. You know who your friends are. There may be some people who will see your situation when you guys are camping out and they might try to ingraciate themselves to you, in order to take advantage in any variety of ways ... don't fall for that. I'm sure you know what I mean.
After you all get the apartment, maybe you could pool your money and get a computer and the internet - that'd be cool. Take care. Visit with us as often as you can. Don't forget that libraries have computers where I think people can talk on websites.

Yea.. I was thinking the same thing..

School (college) is about to get out here so.. Maybe he has finals?

Yeah, I've been wondering where he went. He was a good poster and a cool guy with a lot of interesting views.

I'm going bowling in an hour, wish me tons of strikes (or atleast some spares).

I wish thee good luck Master Red sir....may your hand guide the ball and gift you with a lot of strikes...

But I think it is funny...Megil dissapeared once like this earlier too...and it was a LOOOOONG time before he came back...I hope he returns soon though...he have a lot of interesting views...just like kindred spirit.

Hmmm ... well, I hope he comes back then. Let's hope it is college exams keeping his attention and that he is not having any trouble like I am having in trying to visit a website that I used to frequent and have many friends at.
I used to be a regular at The Elder Vaults website, but they got a hacker who shut it down and ever since then, my comp will not find the webpage - not through Yahoo or Google or through typing it directly into my browser window. So, I am relying on Khajiit Overlord Rainer to convey my messages back to the homesite.

Glad he is happy to be of service that way - so considerate. Thanks Rainer!

Rainer wonders that as well...

So everyone hated themselves at a certain point in their lives?


And Rainer will do his best as a messenger, Ibis.

Oh, I still hate myself. Back when I was a kid I probably didn't hate myself, though.

Where do you live? Utah?

Someone posted a huge list of reasons why not to like children, I find this list quite disturbing.

All of those attributes of the children that you've listed so far come from how they are raised. In other words, if the parent acts in a certain way, the child will. It is not the children, it is the one teaching the child: aka daddy and mommy.

I agree. All these kids I see in stores that cry and whine for hours on end so they can get a toy. And end up getting it!

First of all, the kid should never be allowed to throw a tantrum for very long (aka, slapped!)

Second, you don't actually buy the thing for them!

My parents didn't take any oof that crap, and when/if I'm a parent, I won't either.

Oh darn,i forgot to say i was just kidding
I mean i DID put the sign in it.I'll edit the post a bit

Anyway at the moment i live in Nederland

wow....that´s very good and sensible! I am proud to say that I never let my kids whine in stores to get things..in fact they even never thought of it, they knew perfectly well it was of no use!...

even though none of us like children, we have to remember that we were once one to! so you can't hate them that much seeing as how you were pretty much the same when you were their age

kids today are trained by comercials to whine and whine until they get something.

You know, Doom is absolutely right. In fact, I think kids today are pretty much totally taught by TV. It began back in earlier generations when TV was new and mothers discovered it was a good distraction for the kiddies to watch the tube in the living room while they did the household chores.
But TV has WAY changed since back in those days ... and Doom is right. I mean, look how in about August all the channels start early with the toy commercials for Christmas. And so many of the cartoons are nothing but floss that sells the toys that are the starring characters.
Cereals are now disgustingly coated not just with sugar but industrialized syrup/preservative. The aisles in supermarkets are arranged so that the kiddie stuff is right at level of a child's head in a shopping cart or lower so they see it walking.
And now, computers are taking over the teenage scene, and cell phones. You gotta be in the in crowd and have your computer in your room where your parents can't see what you're doing with your friends online and gotta be able to IM everybody else's cell.

Where do parents stand in all this barrage? Where they want to, that's where. They either parent or they let the media do it. God help us all.

Hmm.. Commercials directed at children are illegal in Norway (along with alcohol and tobacco commercials). Maybe something to work towards in other countries as well...? I can understand that TV commercials can influence children.

Hmm.This is an intresting discusion about commercials.

I would just like to say,that kids don't necesarily whine for what they want.At least i didn't whine when i was a kid.But again,my contry was under wars that severly cripled the economy,and people don't have much money.So i knew that my mother can't but me the toy because she doesn't want to,it's beacuse she doesn't have money.My country had some great crisis back then.....

Anyway,what i think.
Well,it's how you teach them really.If they know that they can get what they want by whining,offcourse they will whine.But if they know that method doesn't work...they will just give up.

Help yourself!

Anyway, speaking of advertizing, did anyone notice that we have a new ad on the site? We had the option to choose between two new advertizers that approached us, and one wanted a text ad while the other wanted big honking flash ads - I personally hate those.
Even worse, one asked us to mix content with advertizing! Write a "review" about their products!

Do you hate annoying web ads too? Big flashy stuff that distracts from the content and ads that are not clearly recognizable as such?

No. Where is it? Ads by google?

LOL I hate those flashing ads too (doesn't everybody?),but if there is anything even worse,it must be pop-ups.Good that i have pop-ups blocked

Anyway,congratulations on the new add (even though i didn't notice it ),and i hope that money income from the ad will partitionaly be spent on improving Chorrol.com servers
