I've mentioned before how silly some of the laws are, here in Virginia, and Richmond specifically. Here's a good one they have apparently missed.
We went up to 7-11, and two women had a 13 month old baby at work with them, in a stroller behind the counter. Apparently, while this is against company policy, (We checked), it isn't against the law to have your 13 month old, at a convenient store at 11pm at night, in not the greatest part of town. (Before bringing the baby to the counter to help us, the baby was back by the freezer and cleaning supplies, while momma and friend helped themselves to a slurpee.
It saddens me to no end that you have to obtain a license to drive, fish, and hunt, but any idiot can get knocked up, and be a complete idiot parent.

Good call, Bobby...
They really need to do something nationwide...too many stupid people breed, their accountablity is only made an issue when some helpless child dies...
One day I was at the Dollar store in Stockton, CA, and there was a bitch in line ahead of me causing a scene because her CA-issued Foodstamp ATM (which is another peeve of mine, make it humiliating! Bring back the stamps!) wouldn't allow her to buy a candy-filled keychain. Granted, it was just a dollar, but those dollars add up, and we get screwed on payday...us hardworking, contraceptive-using citizens...And the kids in the basket were grubby, and looked like they needed milk and bread more often.
Its pathetic...
Wow...that was one of the few times I get all bent up! Thanks!
PAtsy, I soooo glad to hear that...its funny, i have friend my age with kids in jr. high, and i still think i am too young to have kids..
social services would take my kids in a flash...and even worse, i'd let them keep em...
Patsy, Want to hang out sometime?
lordy lordy.
I watched one time as a guy slapped the heck out of his kid at the gas station. I couldn't help myself, I walked up to him, cell phone in hand, and called the cops. Thank God for drive offs, everything was caught on the security camera. He went to jail, I still feel absolutle horrible about it to this day. (That the kid probably ended up going back to that asshole.)
OH MY GAWD, BOBBY!!
I have been saying this shite for friggin ever! I would always say that people need a lisence to have a kid. And that the poorest people in the world are the ones with the most kids. I mean, look at impoverished, disease-ridden countries...kids, everywhere. I couldn't bear to have a kid. I mean, can you imagine a bigger smart ass than my kid would be? :)
Amen...
I top my crackers with sermicide foam in a can...
Yeah, peanut butter and spermicide sandwiches. Which, if you add red food coloring, looks like jelly.
word ver - "ugwkf" - Ugh, what the f@ck?!?
Damasta, yes, we think alike. heh.
LB, I slip it into other people's foods. Just people I think shouldn't reproduce.
And don't ask me how, but I knew that if you added red food coloring to peanut butter and spermicide it looks like jelly.
I said don't ask.
I won't ask. As long as you don't ask where Jinxy gets spermicide foam in a can. Or why I don't buy jelly anymore.
I wish I could pay L.A. County to add it to the water...hey, why hasn't Bush thought of this yet? After all, the govt. controls AIDS and cancer...The money for research goes to golf outings...
And all these people send their kids into the public schools...then when the kids can't larn, it's up to us to fix it.
Don't uncork that genie!
Of course, for some, school is the happiest place they have.
Don't forget a dog license too. I was out with friends at a casino recently and I could not believe the amount of kids, small kids, roaming around. On a freaking MONDAY.
I cannot help but think of DG and little Pope.
I miss Madman.
:(
Did anybody here get to see her picture?
Cass, believe it or not, I am a former Southern Baptist. Heh.
Babyjewels, I look forward to the start of school, so you can actually go some places and time it for when school is in. Imagine my disappointment when there are tons of kids anyway. You know how it feels.
Serena, I never got to see her pic. I barely got to see the blog, but luckily I read every word before it went away. I was thinking we should create a blog, with shared user, and we could continue to post what we think would have happened to DG, Tiny, etc.
This must be a theme today....
I think if we had to buy kids, we might take better care of them. Licenses sound like a great idea. I know if I had to fork over a grand to have a kid, I would probably do a better job at it.
I also just found Madman's blog. I read most of it in the four days I had. I hate not knowing how things end. It is like taking a movie back to Blockbuster before you are finished.
Madman...come back!
