I liked to be pregnant, too, but no one warned me about teenagers. Or little girls! Little girls are something else. Maybe your wife has some advice on raising those creatures!! How many do the two of you have?

To avoid any further rambling and mundane posts on my part, I had better sign off. Enjoy your evening.

(now. . if I groan, will it just encourage him?)

humm. . .talk about straight lines!

Merle

my side, 2 girls and a boy and 3 grandkids. That I am aware of. My kids and I are estranged, long story and not pleasent.

Wifes side more complex and not sure where I put the calculater. 2 girls and 2 boys, that's the easy part, 11 grandkids, 1 greatgrand kid. Probably missed a couple and who knows how many more to come. That second set, for the most part, is of breedin age.

No distinction is made between kids or grandkids that came from other unions. On either of our sides.

My advice? You'll make mistakes, there is no such thing as a perfect parent. Relax, both you and the kids will live longer. Get them a life pass to the library, keep them out of church and sex is ok conversation at the dinner table. Take them often to their grandfolks, if they (the kids) have bonded with them. (good for you, good for them, good for grandparents, win win combo) If not, then stick to the birthday partys. If you get lucky you get to do it the right way with the grandkids. And you get to send them home again. Once in a while blow off a healthy dinner for banana splits

Well I liked it. Yossarian didn't think it was to funny.

which Yossarian? There is a username Yossarian and there is someone (I forget - hopeless with names) who has Yossarian up the front of a B25 as his avatar.

from urban dictionary:

moke : A person (usually with an ethnic background consisting of Hawaiian, Filipino, and/or Japanese. And in some very rare cases Caucasian) who is a local of one of the Hawaiian islands. Is extremely profound and in most cases, fluent in the use of "pidgin" laguage. These people usually have an IQ of 50 but make up for it with thier ability to talk a lot of trash. They engage in a lot of trash talk, and usually have nothing to back it up. They enjoy getting into fights at school and hoping that it will gain them many popularity points. Their "fights" are mostly pushing around and yelling the phrase "wat 'chu faka" out loud many times and are broken up extemely quickly. Many mokes may look tough but are actually very sensitive. If you joke about them, they threaten you, if you look at them they get pissed very quickly, and if your a white person, they will call you a "haole" and tell you to get out of Hawaii. Mokes believe that the white man took over and degraded Hawaii when really, the white man helped modernize Hawaii.
They also have low-income familys. Which probably explains why they can't speak proper English. Which makes it very hard to understand them

Moke: What 'chu faka? Like scrap?

in reading that, i find it very offensive. sorry.

Yes I know the moke who stole him. He stole him for fighting, which has been made illegal in all 50 states, I heard today. I called the police and they actually cared. Doubly sad story - hens without mate, chicks without dad, and poor rooster leashed to a pen till gets put into a fighting ring.

Blessedmom, I don't know where you get the idea that rambling is NOT okay. It is actually encouraged on this thread. The more topics being discussed at one time, the better.

Merle, is that gorgeous woman in your avatar a picture of you

I thought when you said one stole your rooster, a moke must have been like a weazel or fox or something.

Bummer.

Do mokes have cock fights?

Cock-fighting is huge with mokes. There's a house up the road (all lots here are one acre) and half their acre is devoted to rooster huts, each with one rooster leashed to its hut. There are about 75 of them. I can't imagine being their neighbors at sunrise.

Bad moke! Bad moke! Make lady chickens mad!

I knew it was Hawaiian, but I couldn't remember what it meant, and I couldn't find my Hawaiian dictionary.

What island are you on, Aylissa? I went to Oahu, and last year, my friend, niece, and I went to the Big Island. I loved it! It was like a tropical version of home. Hilo is wet, wet, wet. And while a friend of mine who's from the Big Island said the locals hate the coqui frogs, I love them. It reminds me of home in the summer with the frogs going crazy.

I live 19 miles from Hilo. The coqui frogs are plentiful, all year-round (wow - you even spelled it right!). We don't hear them anymore because we've tuned them out, like people living near freeways, I guess. That's an interesting comparison about "tropical version of home".

Did you see any lava while you were on the Big Island?

Bazza, since you're the financial genius, do you want to lease our house? Then you can stay in it whenever you want! (I did mention we're moving to Oahu, and selling the house, right?)

Oh, my!! What horrible memorys I have of getting into a cock fight with a redneck. I had a little cock, he wasn't impressed, then I put the spurs on and he didn't laugh. No sir he did not, he took his cock off the table mighty fast. It was a no contest. No feathers were ruffled. Dignaty was lost, and a few eggs laid.

*listening carefully for Merles groan*

Oh wait that's me groaning. OMG, I'm Yossarian!!

I did see that (but I need to check an atlas to know which island is which). Did you see that I am financially burdened until 2010?

When i think of Hawaii, i always think of one of the late great Marlon Brando. i always meant to go there and see if i could find him (is that stalking?), but left it too late.



Those mokes sound like boguns here, that's the beer swilling, fighting, bonging-on Australian. It's an 'unsophisticated' person really, so everyone is a bogun at some stage of their life.

that's very kind of you

but i think i expressed myself wrong,
in real life i like to be the one running around with coffee cause that makes it easier, no fixed conversation,
i can bore no one , etc
so i though i can as well do that here too (although it's only virtually of course)
and i only pointed out that sometimes people shout at the waitress (or who ever brings coffee around) and that that is not what i'm after (not that i meant that i thought you'd do that)

hm, i guess i'm explaining a bit too much here,

i'm very tyred, maybe i should'nt write just now
