Dear irresponsible, uneducated, chat speak talking, wannabe dog owner.

You're getting a puppy for your 18 month old daughter and don't see a problem with that? You may have dogs, you may have kids, but you don't know crap about having either one.

Dude, an 18 month old baby doesn't need a puppy dude. You get my drift?

Also, if you already have a dog and your daughter is afraid of animals, why would you get another? Why is your daughter afraid? Did your other dog attack her? What's up with that dude?

Thank you for writing back. At first I thought you were a responsible dog owner, that you would want the information I had and you'd be grateful. Now I realize that you don't have a clue what owning a dog is all about, you don't have the brains God gave a goat and you're reproducing when you probably shouldn't be.

As for meeting up with you in a dark alley. No thank you. I'm smarter then that, sadly, you aren't.

Good luck with your puppy. Good luck to the puppy.

Peace out dude. :(

Actually, I have his name, it's D Guerrero (only first initial to protect his privacy). The email gave it to me. Unfortunately, it also gave him mine, and if he cares do to a Google search of my real name, he may just find some way to locate me.
I'm smart enough not to say something to further provoke someone being idiotic and irresponsible, what would he do to me if I drove him crazy with logic? :confused:

Lol :p:rolleyes:

Nothing, because he wouldn't understand it. ;)

part of the life of misery was,apart from the no phone,tv,early bedtime,was the offender had to stay with me..all day if it was a saturday,that meant listening to me garbal on and on..and on..
i would also make the offenders favourite dinner or take a way and serve it to everyone else and they would get a well balanced meal!
it was hell for both me and the poor child!
i would just like to add 'life of misery' started when my daughters hit their teens!

Ya well I think hanging with his mommy all day is his misery. We are sitting on his bedroom floor deciding what's garbage and what can be kept. He hates getting rid of things. Poor kid.

Who wants to listen to a whiny kid complain that their tv and phone have been taken away for a day?

It's my Saturday, I plan to enjoy it.

So, the punishment in our house keeps the kids busy, out of my hair and works like a charm.

We have three dogs, they all poo at least 2 times a day, if not more. Whenever one of the kids crosses the line, they get to go in the backyard and pick up dog poo.

Depending on how long it's been since the last punishment, this can take anywhere from 1 hour to 1 week.

Point one for Mommy. :)

Alty you're a genius. I may go get me a pack of dogs. In the end its worth it.

Hehe, you and that shakey butt, makes me laugh!

But, you are probably right.

Hmm... maybe I should give him the address of an insane asylum, and see what he does! He may just go there, and stay! :p

Drive him crazy with logic.

HH that makes all the sense in the world. I may have to use it someday.

Give him the address to the Humane Society, maybe they'll get through. :cool:

It's a lot like killing someone with kindness. ;)

He should get one of those dogs for his daughter! :rolleyes:

That man shouldn't have dogs or children. That's my opinion. ;)

I'm with you Starby,why punish myself ?

Grounding was an absolute nightmare for me,I came up with all kinds of creative ways to get my message across but I rarely resorted to grounding.

When I did ground it was with the implicit directive"If you pi$$ and moan about it ,we can add on another day".

That was pretty effective.

I used to get a lot of heavy sighs and pouty looks but one look from me and it was "I'm not sayin nothin".

Its funny to remember when I had such a hold over them.

The good old days. :D

Didn't freak me out, made me smile. :)

She'd laugh at it, and so did I.

You don't know how many times people got us mixed up on the board. We had a similar writing style, both frequented the dogs forum, people got us confused all the time. :)

If it wasn't for Starty's faux pas I wouldn't have my ducky book. :)

You don't think I really know how to spell half of these big a$$ words I use ,do you ,not by a long shot.
Honesty and humility are wonderful traits,that's what Mama always said. :)

Aww Art, did you have to look up how to spell "Honesty" and "humility"?

Naah, you know I love you, and I've done it plenty of times! :D

Thank goody-goodness!

Well at least we know our back up plan. Maybe we should pass the word. Worked out well for us.

It did didn't it?
Kept my sanity intact for a while.
Just wish the darn chat feature worked for me so I didn't have to make wall posts all the time!

Why doesn't it work? I had mine up and I saw you on. Are you still in there I will send a message and tell me if you got it.

I can see what people are saying to me, but it doesn't let me type a reply :(

I usually have the chat on "offline" so people don't think I am ignoring them.

I got to talk to one person for 2 messages today before it stuffed up :rolleyes:

That's what I used to think, I flat out refused to join, now I love it.

Sunny and I were saved from the no-amhd monster because of it

Hi kids!

I didn't read back, my bad. Someone give me the short version of events?

On a brighter note;

THE KIDS GO BACK TO SCHOOL TOMORROW! :D :D :D :cool:

Darn I'll miss them. ;)

I agree shaz. Refused! I think I even read a thread on here about it and Myspace and I commented how silly I thought it was. Now I love it to. Have been in touch with friends I haven't seen since graduation in 1991.

Ok just popping in my boy wants to play some games on here. Later.

Hi Alty I think I saw you.

My kids (well, not my kids) went back last Monday. :D

Alty, the site was down for a few hours last night, some people freaked (like me) and some of them went to Facebook. (Eww, I tried it once and it sucked.)

Ah! I'm glad I missed the freak session. I must have been all snug in my bed, dreaming happy dreams, snuggling with my dog. Yes, my dog. The little bugger is sleeping on the bed.

Don't say it Shazzy, I know, I know, bad Alty, but he's such a good boy when he's on the bed and he snuggles with me, hubby won't, he's not a snuggler.

Sigh.

Hehehehe... my girlfriend loves to snuggle! :p
(Fully clothed, don't worry!)

I'm thinking about making a joke forum called AMHDInsanity or something, so it's just a random place for all of you AMHDers to go when the site is down... :p:D

Hubby only likes to snuggle when we aren't fully clothed. TMI? ;)
