Screw it, I think we should have a sort of "child Pound" where you take kids whose folks, whether biological or implied, could drop them off, if they no longer wanted them. We could have cages or rooms if you will for these kids, and beg for rags for them to sleep on and food to feed them while we try to find homes for them. We then adopt them out to prospective new homes, but we have the homes examined and the kids spayed/neutered before they are sent to their new families. Obviously, I am being facetious here. I have raised two of my biological children, and 1 adopted and have had about 8 or 9 foster kids thru my house at one or another time. Tell the guy who is trying to weasel out of a relationship, too bad, you wanted to screw the mom, now you are the kids dad by default. Take it like a man, and raise the kid/ pay the support, be in the life of a child who needs you. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Locally we have a place called the Blue Cat Pub. I am assuming it is because they strangled the cat slowly. I have always supported them, based on that theory. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

I tried to fill it out, but it said it was read only, and I couldn't send it back to you. At least this is a bump so maybe someone else will be able to help you more than me skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

WWBD? (what would Beezy do?) skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

When Don Kirlin asked me to take on the WFFC, Beezy was one of the people whos counsel was invaluable. He was knowledgeable, direct and thoughtful. He was also kind. We will all miss him! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

The shower diverter and the rear hose bib are the only two things that would have me scratching my head. Sounds like you are going to learn the joy of home ownership! Have fun with the insulation! You'll be glad you did that! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

I bought my first house when I was 19 and reasonably handy. I have since become REALLY handy, and other than major electrical problems, I'll tackle almost anything. I am an independent contractor specializing in landscaping, and I show up on time 99% of the time. If this guy has been unreliable on this one point, he will be unreliable on EVERYTHING else. If your toilets leak, go to the SMALLEST hardware store you can find. They are the old independent ones, that have handymen working at them, not some minimum wage high school kid. Ask the guy how to repair the inside of the toilet. Tell him you want to replace the WHOLE works. It'll cost about 14 to 15 bucks in parts. Scrub the inside of the tank while it is empty, it will save hours of scrubbing the bowl in the future. Buy yourself the parts to the toilet, TWO pairs of vise grips and spend a half a day getting to know your toilet. You will be glad you did, and you will be MILES ahead. This is something you will need to know for the future, so learn it now, and save yourself a FORTUNE in the future. PS. Send me an email, and I'll give you my phone number and talk you thru it the first time, if you can't find a hardware store that has a real handyman. My hardware store has a couple of brothers that will come out and help with anything from a washer in a faucet to replacing a water heater, so go the little guys first, they make their reputation on service. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

When we adopted our daughter we already had two older brothers in the house. They would come running down the stairs yelling " the baby stinks REALLY BAD" And they were right, she was the smelliest baby EVER! At first I figured it was whatever her foster parents had been feeding her, but she never got over it. She wasn't noisy, just smelly! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Thanks for the link, It was sure fun to watch that! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

That's how I clean the filter on my chain saw, and it works EVERY TIME!! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

One of my favorite headlines from the Onion was something like "God answers dieing boys prayers... NO! God says!" skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

oh, and aren't YOU SWEET!! Notice I prefer to dwell on the terrific part, and not the "never serious" part. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

it's "The Onion" and of course, the "Onion" is NEVER serious. terrific, but never serious skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

I feel so sorry for our pets. They have no idea what is going on , and yours has had a double whammy. Give her a little scritch behind the ears for me. I hope you are doing well. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Last year I built a rain garden, it was supposed to catch the rain, and redivert it, so that the sewer system didn't have to accomodate it. It was so dry I had to water the darn thing. Lake Superior was down by 11 inches in Feb when I was there, they were worried about the huge cost of shipping things, since those gigantic ships couldn't carry as much in the low water. They said it would be years before it could be returned to it's former depth. I was there last week, and they were UP by a couple of inches. I think they are guessing all of the way around. I hope you guys get rain soon, and have to mow your lawn. I am still mowing every 4 days here, and it's very unusual for me to be mowing that much this time of the year. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Cali Peeps! Any updates, we're hoping you are all ok! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

We do the best we can for our little buddies. They do so much for us. He was lucky to have picked you out to be his best friend. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

I've spent the last several days having hot flashes. I'd be happy to send some to you! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Hope you are safe and all is well, try to sleep soundly, although I have been thru a fire once, and I didn't sleep well for months after. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

[\ \. No, it wasn't called Soylent Green. I have always believed in, and practiced controlled burns.. How many of these youngun's have ANY idea what Soylent Green is?? What a great THOUGHT provoking movie! skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Oh MAN! Too bad there isn't video, or you could get "Best Exit from a Garbage Can" skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Folks we lost a good friend to the sport " Ganja Rodriguez " this month, who fell from a ladder and died while working. He posted on this forum as "Pullhigh" I'll miss him next time I go to Skydive Carolina. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

We have had L39 rides for a donation to the Rantoul Kidds Club at the WFFC for a couple of years. Lets hope that Don brings them back. Still kinda pricey at 2500 depending on the price of fuel. I think at last check the fuel costs were 500 bucks for 20 minutes of airtime. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com

Being up here with Streaker, and sleeping nekkid with him has really increased the odds of the crazy dream thing. Or is that crazy reality? Anyway, odd, Streaker, nekkid, it all goes well together. And as far as the mom not being naked thing goes,, my kids learned LONG AGO, to knock before entering the bedroom, or risk having nightmares of your naked parents for eons to come. skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com
