Okay so where were the parents of the kid that invited his friends to the house. First I wouldn't go anywhere without the kid - he's coming with us when we leave. A house worth a million and they didn't have some sort of agency checking on it? He would be soooo grounded for starting a party and then just letting it go on after he left. Nice friends his friends had to total a house.

I have a friend that whenever her biological clock is ticking she'll babysit for her niece and nephew and that takes care of her urges for another year.

Ok this is one strange accident. We have a one legged man taking off his prosthetic leg and playing in the street and a drunk in a convertible. The real world is always stranger than fiction.


By ABC13 Eyewitness News
(5/30/02) — A fatal accident overnight has a bizzare ending when the driver doesn't realize the man he just hit was now riding in the car with him.
According to police, a man with a prosthetic leg took off the leg and began hopping around in the street on Old Spanish Trail at Highway 288. That's when the driver of a Mustang convertible hit him with his car. The driver traveled two blocks before finally realizing that the man he hit was in the seat next to him.

The victim died at the scene. The driver was taken into custody on suspicion of drunk driving.

I tried resaponding to you several days ago, several times without success, and then had to leave. You're so right. I always tell the parents that grandchildren are the best revenge. My wife's son was complaining bitterly to his mom about the behavior of one of the boys, he was beside himself with frustration. She said he described himself as a boy to a T

I'll have to tease my son - he lives in that area mentioned in KC for the limo's for grade school grads. I'm sorry but there is no way that I'd get a limo for a little kid. There would be nothing to look forward to as they grow up. If they get everything now what's left? Then these same people wonder why children don't appreicate what they have. Give me a break.
