Thank you! Off to order a copy now! His writing style is brilliant.

I ended up paying for part of mine AND making the food. Wouldn't have been a big deal, but I never asked for the shower.

I am sure you all remember the book this came from: The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!' My daughter read that to me when she was 5. I threw the book away. :lol: (She didn't know I threw it away and I didn't make a big deal out of it...but...:svengo:)

In the case of a few people here it truly looks like pot-stirring. Maybe not every spin-off, but for several, they come across loud and clear. And it's not less judgmental, but I am not making S/O threads, tagging posts and making a general spectacle, either.

:lol: Pringles are one of those things that I NEVER want....until I eat one. Then I finish the can. :001_huh: Same with popcorn. I am not entirely sure I even LIKE popcorn. I am going with your crack theory.

What breed of adorableness is that in your siggy? :001_wub:

When you see page after page after page of spin-offs and accusations, it becomes easier to see who likes to keep the pot stirred. That's all. :001_smile:

:lol:--I am still giggling over your ethernet cable statement. :D

But that is not what happens. Asking someone to clarify is one thing. Full-blown War On Trolls is another. In all of this "troll-outing" quite a few troublemakers have "outed" themselves. Again.

Well then why can't the "outing" be enough? Just someone throw up a quick "your story doesn't make sense" and leave.it.alone. The Troll will usually out themselves with how they respond. Quit feeding a Troll and it will look elsewhere for food.

Respectfully, doesn't the constant attention to "The Trolls" and thread after thread of "spin-offs" affect the integrity of this board? It's made me look at the boards in an entirely different light.

I giggled when I read this because I frequently get this look::001_huh: when the kids see me muddling through the pronunciation. I am learning to read a chapter ahead and master the names before I read. :D

I was about to respond with Fifth Disease, but I see I have been beat to the punch. ;) I hope your little ones feel better soon!

I did want to add, though...You did the right in protecting your children. It's just a horrible situation all the way around. :grouphug:

This disease has the potential to rip the ability to act in a grown-up manner away. It's progressive. It does not get better.
