Man I can't fathom a woman carrying 8 kids to term but it is good to know that everyone came out fine:

Im sorry..
I figure 1 kid is hard enough, and 2 is asking for a FUN time..
having 8 in 1 shot, this person will be walking SIDEWAYS for the next 8 months..

I'm confused. Is this the second-hand-CNN web site? If so, I wanna get paid!

No this is a blog where we post articles or topics that we find interesting for others to read and reply to. If you don't like the articles I post then don't read them but I have a few sites that I check regularly and share what I find so unless you have something better to post then stop whining.

Jay, post all you like.  When you turn into Paddy-O, that's when you'll get the brow-beat.  So far, so good.  Keep posting.  I'm certain the crowd here will let you know when you screw up, as I do often.  Just don't listen to Paddy-O.

I am not going to stop just based on one man's opinion and while I know that most of these are not front page blog articles I enjoy reading most of the blog/forum posts so I want to participate. Also I have no clue who Paddy-O is so I will just wait until I get the time to have a chat e-mail... hehe

Jay, this forum is meant for a somewhat different crowd than the normal "you're a moran"" kind of commentary you see everywhere.  It's an eclectic collection of articles ranging from politics to space science and aviation, from offbeat to hi-tech.  I'll bet we have more hi-res pictures per post than just about any general web site.  And, occasionally, some humor.

Some people even read "This Day In Space," and "Guess this car."  Soon, there will be another pin-up series.

Keep posting.

In response to both posts I will say that I add the local news because yes ever state has idiots... after a few years of dispatching at NH State Police HQ I know this very well... I know this forum is for a wide variety of topics and while I don't jump into everything I do like to keep the ball rolling especially since the boards I moderated in the past all went down hill meaning out of the 500+ members there was maybe one post a week... and how dare you try and hijack my thread... wait what was the topic I started again...?

... wait what was the topic I started again...?

I believe it may have been something from CNN.

Don't mind me, I'm just a cranky geek some days.

Eh we all have crappy days... I posted right after from coming in from the wonderful snow storm outside and we all love shoveling so eh. My snappy remarks were wasted on my mother who couldn't figure out how to work her printer... she claimed she didn't know which one to choose in windows and there is only one... this is a woman who wants to get back into the job market and just annoy the crap out of the IT department.

Don't worry about it Jay.  You just got nailed by the Master Cynic.  He's actually a pretty nice guy... probably was in a bad mood.  Eh Cineád?

Next time, don't get upset... just come back with a snappy reply.  Har!

OOPS!  Speak of the devil.  We posted at the same time!  As Mister Mustard would say, "HAW, HAW, HAW!"

Hey, wait a minute there, Hop! Are you saying my bark is worse than my bite or are you saying I'm sometimes in a good mood? I don't like double positives because I think it's possible two positives make a negative. I can't never get that right.

I have to go shovel the snow off my roof now. It's piled up higher than my head.

Shovel snow?  Har!  In 4 weeks I'll have to mow the lawn.  Hop can verify, I'll bet he'll have to mow his, too.
