A New Grandson!
My daughter gave birth yesterday to my newest Grandson, Micah, all 8 pounds 2
ounces of him. We tried to get her to hold off for a couple days until the day Leonardo da Vince was born, the Titanic sunk, Abraham Lincoln died, Ivory soap was invented (it floats!), the first MacDonald's restaurant opened, the first major league baseball game was played outside the United States, in Montreal, income taxes are due, and, of course, I was born. But, she couldn't wait. He's a cute little guy, and his hands are almost big enough to hold a fishin' rod already!

How wonderful for you!
Congrats. You know, I knew you were an old fart, but if you were really born on the day Abraham Lincoln died, why isn't this a great, great, great, great, ....grandchild? :-) Using the same bizarre standard, I'm nowhere nearly as old as you are John. I was born on the same day as Adolph Hitler, (I too have a b'day coming round the bend)...........so I'm only a hundred and something now. |

In another thread, I admonished myself for a number of specific things and JimH responded by objecting to my "personal attack". Weird enough. Then, I congratulate Karen on showing some restraint and saying something nice about John's new grandbaby without her customary "Gould is a piece of **** and here's Krause's lie of the Day" attached, and that makes me a "piece of dirt"? Weirder still. Well I certainly don't want to be a piece of Dirt, Bert. I guess I'll watch your behavior very carefully and try to emulate that. Should I succeed, nobody will ever consider me a "petty" asshole, of that I can be certain. |

That's it?
No 15 paragraphs of "stuff" attached? Congrats to you too, Karen. Really. :-) I thought we'd stopped the personal attacks, Chuck. -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking ******************** It must be a contagious disease. Is Rush Limbaugh sending mind-altering frequencies to all his listeners or something? First JimH interprets something I explicitedly said about myself as a "personal attack", then Bert said I am a "piece of dirt" for congratulating Karen on posting without her typical jab at me and multi-paragraph broadside featuring "The Krause lie of the day." Now you're chiming in with another accusation of "personal attack"? What's up with that? I made a "favorable" comment, complimenting Karen for posting without her usual schtick attached. That's a personal attack? I guess it must be, according to some standards. The protest about personal attacks is run out on a moment's notice, or shelved completely it seems, depending upon who is saying what about whom. |

Chuck,
It is nice to see you are not being an asshole, keep up the good work. Now that is a nice favorable comment, no one would ever think that was a personal attack. wrote in message oups.com...

Stop wasting your time here, fella, and get your butt over to my house. I'm installing a set of stairs and I could use some more help. Stairs?? I just came in out of the sun after doing 'pick & shovel' work in front. We're replacing our livingroom windows and the wife decided we should frame the opening in a 'bay/bow' fashion to gain more square footage of useable space. Up here it's advisable to set your footinga about 3.5 feet deep....below the frost line. I was hoping i'd hit bedrock before I got that deep. |
