How high does a person have to be to take all their dishes out of cupboards and lay them out on kitchen floor? I can't get to my fridge ... this is a disaster.

BUT, there are some things that I don't mind sharing with you.When my mother took the time to read to me at bedtime, she read me Edgar Allan Poe's stories (the poem, The Raven, was my favorite) and the original Grimm's Fairy Tales. For those of you not old enough to remember, the brothers that wrote those stories were very aptly named! They are not the white-washed stories children have been spoon fed for the past 30 or so years.When I was young, we sat as a family around the big television in my parent's bedroom. While my brothers and I were glued to the TV, my father used to take off his dirty smelly socks and throw them into our faces. For those of you that know me, these tidbits should explain a lot.
SO, what did your parents do that you believe helped shape your personality? less

They ignore their senses, common sense being the most ignored and go with the words of very convincing others. How long does such a charade last? Till death do they part? How much dirt can you eat after all and still survive?

I bought my first tower decades ago before my three kids were born. It was a 80286 processor 2mb ram floppy drive and the latest svga CRT monitor all running windows 3.1. It cost me nearly the cost of my mortgage deposit lol. My father, in his 70's plays COD amongst others on his powerful gaming computer. Now I'm aged 53 approaching old age I realize it was our generation (and even older) that played the major part in today's technology. By the way I bought my kids their fist megadrive, Sega gamegear, gameboy, laptop, cellphone Wii, xbox, playstation?.Think I got the wrong end of the deal here lol. If you agree or disagree, optionally state your age to make it more interesting. less

The charges facing the 5 boys (one is 17, the other 4 are 15) include 2nd-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder and malicious destruction of property. If you were the Jury/Judge what punishment would you hand out? Why?

Or do you tell it like it is even when it is painful to your cause/side/political party? Why? Are you very noisy when you can self-righteously attack the ENEMY and very invisibl and MUTE when the attacks are directed at your views/beliefs/dogma/script? Why?
