Here you go ma'am.

Thank you!  Not sure why it wouldn't work for me.   

Stupid computer, YouTube, Vista, Sarah Palin, Tea Party, Microsoft.

That's what I tried, but I am unable to paste the url in the YouTube code.  Weird.  It's like my paste/ctrl+v is broken or something.

Try right clickin' it and use the drop down menu that shows up. If it doesn't show up, copy and paste might be disabled on the page you're tryin' to copy from. You can generally copy the URL though.

ETA:

Ah, I see DS took care of it for ya. Still, ya might remember the "right click" option for next time.

If it were my family, I'd be on the phone with my family, NOT on a damn website. 

Exactly. Because of my MOS I have odd duty hours. I might be online for a few days at a time and offline for days. But if a family member were having a breakdown I would'nt be spending my free time on the web talking about it.

That's because you aren't an attention whore.

Blep, we get that enough from our son, who is a Marine vet...not as impressive as all that because the powers that be medically discharged him.  He was two days out from finishing SOI when his DI caught him limping, he got sent to the doctors and the rest was history.
But, everything happens for a reason.  He met and married and divorced this girl, but at least he ended up with the sweetest baby ever.  Whom I happen to babysit two weeks out of every month.
  :yahoo:He left yesterday for his momma's.  I am on hiatus.

How'd ya get that arrangement? I have a little 3 year old terror that seems to have moved in since I'm home all day and everyone else is workin'! I need a vacation! Potty trainin' just ain't my forté! Not with little girls anyway! Boys is easy, the ranch is handy that way! Ya just whip it out!

Well, his mama is active duty AF up in Phoenix and my son currently resides in our home.  The kid is only 2, and a holy terror of course, but the parents have divided him up into equal residences.
I put his cute little butt into morning preschool/daycare four days a week so I can do something other than tear my hair out.
One word of advice on potty training:  DON'T.  We tried everything with our oldest but the lazy little kid didn't care if she wallowed in wet or poopy diapers.  We gave up and right at age 3 she announced out of the blue she wanted to use a potty.
Problemo solved.  With our son we let him use a diaper until three and a half and he got tired of the wet diapers.  We DID have to keep an overnight diaper on him until age 5.


My grandson knows to the minute when he's gonna pee, he announces it, and then waits for me to change his diaper.  He pitches a fit if I don't hop to it.  I swear I am too old for this parenting shit.

DUmmie's politics have finally ran her uncle crazy.

[Randy]

It's a lie. Remember DUmmy's lie. All the time. They lie.

He's making a point about mental illness and gun ownership. He needed a vehicle to do it.

Absolutely. The BULLSHIT alarm started Whoop-Whoop-Whooping when I read the OP.

She was doin' just fine until My Son in Law and daughter went to a Bow tournament down in Prineville! It was pretty much a campin' trip and the "facilities" were as you can expect in late fall. Well my super genius daughter informed her is was okay to go in her pull ups as there wasn't exactly a potty chair available, and it's been like that ever since!

How the hell I got saddled with it is a mystery worthy of Harry Potter! I'm too old for this shit!

Condolences, Allo, truly.
She ought to get tired of the wet and dirty diapers eventually though.
PM me if you want a sympathetic ear.  And bless you for taking care of your granddaughter.  Whenever I start feeling put upon, which is quite often, I remind myself of how blessed I am to be able to share in and help mold the young life of my grandchild.
Easier said than done, obviously.  He left here clutching the remnants of my busted up $100 MP3 player.  My husband marvelled at how he'd managed to jam together the plugs in the miniscule computer jack.

Right now my uncle is barricaded in his house and will probably not come out alive

Another DUmmy, another day.

I say shoot the bastard...the resulting DUmmy fodder will be priceless!

[PatriotGame]

An attention whore lookin' for DUmp cred over gun control! I guarandamnteeya, if he's been arrested before for this, they sure as hell ain't givin' his guns back! It's a felony to barricade yourself in against the cops and last I heard, felons are prohibited from owning guns!

Me thinks there's way more to this story than what this DUmbass is willing to tell! If it's even true! After all, "DUmmies lie, they lie all the time!" ( © franksolich 2006 )

Hey!!!

My uncle is holed up in his home in Idaho Falls! With several cases of home brew and 8 cords of wood and several sides of beef. Waiting for the cold-snap to subside...

CALL THE COPS!!!

[PatriotGame]

These are the idiots that, when a family member has a heart attack, they'll call 911 and immediately run to the PC to post it on DU. They're f'n insane. I didn't know that was a secret. Bunch of drama queens with no real-world life.

Yea...

You need to go to the 911 troofers section.

No you ought to remember the new emergency number... 0118 999 881 999 119 7253.

Jacking this thread for a sec, because this is a truly funny story, IMHO, at least in retrospect.  When I was a little girl, about two or three, my Mother was bitten by a spider.  We were stationed at Hunter AFB, GA, at the time.  Apparently Dad was too busy rushing the dead spider to the hospital to take Mom along.  He of course had killed the spider and wanted to ascertain that it was non-poisonous.  Thirty years later Mom was STILL ragging on him for that.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.

I love your mom!

I would state the nekked pictures thing but shy away from the resulting bitch-slapping...

update on my uncle who has barricaded himself in his house and is threatening police and himself
 Edited on Fri Jan-14-11 06:04 PM by Robyn66
Thank you all for your care and support. My poor father is just an exhausted mess at the scene right now. We all appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Its about 20hours now since the stand off began. They have broken every window in the house shooting in tear gas and he wont come out. He was running around yelling how he was going to kill anyone who came near the house and that he was not going to be taken alive. For a while he was on the phone but he turned off the phone. Then it got quite and they have been sitting for like 5 hours without anything going on. So now (I think its the State Police) are bringing in this Tank thing to bust down the door in hopes of bringing him in. THe police are doing everything they can not to hurt him.

The last time he did this he fell asleep and slept it off and went quietly once he woke up. I am hoping this is what happens now. But I don't know what will happen to him after he is arrested. He needs to be in a hospital, and he needs to NOT get his guns back. But every time this happens he is back on the street with his guns really fast. Maybe the big difference this time is he is going to be charged with criminal threatening of a police officer. But the fact still remains the man needs care at a hospital and I don't know if he will get it.

Well that sucks...

I was looking forward to an in-depth dialog of your every Bowell movement...

My mom, God bless her, would  :rotf:if she were still alive.  My Dad, on the other hand, were he still alive, would nix your bitchslap for his trusty  rifle.
