Should Children Witness Child Birth?

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house Was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a Flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the Baby.

Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and After a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his Little feet and spanked him on his bottom Connor began to cry. The paramedic Then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she Thought about what she had just witnessed

=0 AKathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first
Place .......spank his butt again!'

If you don't laugh at this one, there's no hope for you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I had a good day. I made a new best friend. There is one very important thing that we share, our love of venison. I wish him luck the next few days on his quest for the big one. I will be baby sitting until wednesday.

The Creation of the Computer

1. In the beginning God created the Bit and the Byte. And from those he
created the Word.

2. And there were two Bytes in the Word; and nothing else existed. And
God separated the One from the Zero; and he saw it was good.

3. And God said - Let the Data be; And so it happened. And God said -
Let the Data go to their proper places. And he created floppy disks and
hard disks and compact disks.

4. And God said - Let the computers be, so there would be a place to
put floppy disks and hard disks and compact disks. Thus God created
computers and called them hardware.

5. And there was no Software yet. But God created programs; small and
big... And told them - Go and multiply yourselves and fill all the
Memory.

6. And God said -I will create the Programmer; And the Programmer will
make new programs and govern over the computers and programs and Data.

7. And God created the Programmer; and put him at Data Center; And God
showed the Programmer the Catalog Tree and said You can use all the
volumes and subvolumes but DO NOT USE Windows.

8. And God said - It is not Good for the programmer to be alone. He
took a bone from the Programmer's body and created a creature that
would look up at the Programmer; and admire the Programmer; and love
the things the Programmer does; And God called the creature: the User.

9. And the Programmer and the User were left under the naked DOS and it
was Good.

10. But Bill was smarter than all the other creatures of God. And Bill
said to the User - Did God really tell you not to run any programs ?

11. And the User answered - God told us that we can use every program
and every piece of Data but told us not to run Windows or we will die.

12. And Bill said to the User - How can you talk about something you
did not even try. The moment you run Windows you will become equal to
God. You will be able to create anything you like by a simple click of
your mouse.

13. And the User saw that the fruits of the Windows were nicer and
easier to use. And the User saw that any knowledge was useless - since
Windows could replace it.

14. So the User installed the Windows on his computer; and said to the
Programmer that it was good.

15. And the Programmer immediately started to look for new drivers. And
God asked him - What are you looking for? And the Programmer answered -
I am looking for new drivers because I can not find them in the DOS.
And God said - Who told you need drivers? Did you run Windows? And the
Programmer said - It was Bill who told us to!

16. And God said to Bill - Because of what you did you will be hated by
all the creatures. And the User will always be unhappy with you. And
you will always sell Windows. You will make many shekels (which I shall
create forthwith), but many people will hate you.

17. And God said to the User - Because of what you did, the Windows
will disappoint you and eat up all your Resources; and you will have to
use lousy programs; and you will always rely on the Programmers help.

18. And God said to the Programmer - Because you listened to the User
you will never be happy. All your programs will have errors and you
will have to fix them and fix them to the end of time.

19. And God threw them out of the Data Center and locked the door and
secured it with a password.

20. And mankind suffered General Protection Faults, Blue Screens of
Death, Out of Memory errors, and many erratic and unexplainable
crashes.

It is getting close to Halloween. My place is more decked out this year than I ever even decorated for Christmas. In some ways, I feel that I have finally found a holiday that I can relate to
In wiccan tradition, this is actually considered New Years. The veil to the other world is to be the thinnest. It is a time to look at starting new projects. It is a time for letting go of all past hurts and failures. It is a time for new beginnings.

I am actually looking forward. School is going good so far. My writing is to a point where I am entrusting a few friends to read my work on google docs. The story is an old idea with a lot of new twists and turns. I just could not let it all fade away. Maybe this time, it might get published.

well, I am off to my class soon. And I need to get things ready.

In case I don't get back on before Saturday: Happy Halloween to all.

I had a wonderful day today with HB. We went to Harley Davidson Octoberfest. The weather was great. The chilli was fantastic. The band was really good as well. I got to wear my new cowboy hat as well.It seems that black hats were made for me.

HB's new line for the day was "save a horse, ride a pretty cowgirl".

And what a ride it turned out to be.

I guess I just can't wait for Halloween. Still not sure of the costume. But it is going to be one hell of a party at the house that night.

It has been some time since I was last on here and left a post... I am still around... I am once again taking classes... I am enjoying the subjects and I am making some very special friends...

I have gotten my divorce from Scott. I received the decree not to long ago... I know many have said that I would never do it but the deed is done...

I have also gotten in touch with a few friends from my past... It has been great having someone to share my memories with... There is talk about having an unofficial class reunion soon...

I love Papa John's... I got a free one topping large pizza just for showing up at the store with the camaro... Got to love the sports car... BTW still no speeding ticket... But I have been early to a few events in that thing...

Finding ones inner strengh and peace takes a lot of work. I find myself turning more and more to nature to stay grounded. I find myself in the woods a lot more. I esoecially like fast flowing streams and rivers. I have found some water falls as well. Both boys are doing good this summer. I have not been able to see them but my mother has taken time to go to be with them. Brandon is no longer with Scott. He is now living with Scott's sister. Zack is spending a lot more time with Charlene and her family. Xavier is very happy being a "daddy's boy". He loves all the attention. I find that I am comforted by the fact that they are doing so good without me. I was once told that I did not have a purpose but to be a mother

These months of being on my own has really helped me. I no longer need someone to give me a purpose to live. I have my own reasons.

I was told that it would take years for me to be okay. I have managed to do it in a lot shorter time span. I am faithfully seeing my therapist. And I just wish that she would have been there from the start. I am actually embracing my whole being.

My lawyer called and said that the divorce papers were signed and filed with the courts... HB decided to give me a congrats present... After some deliberation, I now am the proud owner of a 95 Camaro T-Top... And I still get to keep my Durango... Cruisen has never been better...
