Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

It is the Churches property, but talk about insensative.

This guy is supposed to be a priest? Where is sharing of love for God’s children? Sounds like he needs a refresher course.

Have a great day.

chas

Alysin,

The new question of the day. Hum…well, I must agree with Chas and wonder whatsup. We don’t maybe know all the facts yet, it would seem. Good question, as all I managed to hear was priest and church and child kicked out. Pouring milk for the grandpa got in the way.
If he is six foot tall, this presents a problem. Why the restraining order? Can we assume there was a conversation first. I hope so. This is definitely an interesting situation, and problematic for all parties concerned. lol

Your Royal Hotness (YRH),

The priest went overboard and should have searched his heart for a better solution. Expecially when the Church has suffered so much from priest sex scandals. I know a family with an autistic child and it is extremely tough. They are responsible for his behavior and yet the priest is responsible for providing the family the comfort of the Church. Maybe he should have considered a Mass open to families and persons with disabilities.

BTW, Gretchen Carlson is so beautiful (HOT) in that classy white outfit. She looks like the HOTEST part of a flame.

I am extremely frustrated about crafting blog entries and having them not show up. With your permission YRH, may I try to repost an another missive about Open Blog Friday?

Will Penny

good morning alisyn

it seems other types of arrangements could be made at the church some churches have rooms for children while the parent attends services but banning seems a little extreme

It is such a shame that a church would ban anybody from going to church. If need to get technical then I would say they would need to ban all babies and children. I mean what is wrong with this picture. Do you think God would not let anyone into heaven if they wet their pants or cried out loud. Then what child would be let in if this is how God ran heaven. I have seen supposedly normal grown ups act out more inappropriately than a child at times. I think it is just so, so sad.

Goodmorning Alisynshine Dweety,
There are other churches out there to attend. I wouldn’t want to go to a church where I wasn’t welcome anyway. In the other news, why didn’t you just call those silly crazed orangatangs Hillary and Barak?

Sweety I meant

Good Day All:
I think the pastor should have dicussed all options with the family, and done a warning before this cource of action.

The church should do it’s real job and get the kid the help he needs to keep him from being disruptive and dangerous.

Alysin,

We have left church in the past when the “children” were “disruptive”. If you are sitting there with six little ones, and all of them are crying for one reason or the other, it is time to excuse oneself, I would think. There should be a resolution that both parties could have reached. Six foot and 225 pds. That is not a child…that is an adult size person. The two year old could be a handful, if deciding not to behave. I can’t even imagine a child like mental capacity in an adult size body. Priests don’t choose this as a remedy if there is another handy. There is more to this story than the plea from the mama, which we all are sympathetic with, and the churches very aggressive remedy. lol

Good Morning Alisyn,
this is a tough one.
Sal

Another case of the few ruling the many. If he can not behave in church, he should not be there. I had 8 children and they behaved out of respect for the place they were and the other people there.

Alysin,

Perhaps the church has done just that Dog. There is more to this story, I promise. This just does not usually happen, even in this atmosphere of no children please, at weddings and other important events. We prob won’t get to hear the end game. That is usually what happens. We are left with this, the church is at it again feeling, when that is prob not the case at all. lol

The church is a haven for those who are in need and unless the boy is proven to be dangerous to others. He should be allowed to attend services. It is not an act of Christian Charity for the Church to turn away those who need them the most. Too many today sit in the front pew…mumble their Amen’s but fail to understand the words or live up to their own expectations of others. Let him attend services and if he proves too disruptive they can work with the family to find other ways to accomdate his presence.

Btw the reason all the Orangutan are escaping they heard Brian is looking to adopt and they want to be first in line. Want to bet their all females Brian always was a Chick magnet.

It’s a story where we don’t have all of the facts … And both sides are not telling the whole story … 6′0 & 225# at 13yo is quite a large kid … There must have been something in the evidence presented to the court for the judge to grant the restraining order and the sheriff to enforce it …

Ashlee Simpson’s wedding reception — According to People.com … “The Alice in Wonderland themed reception featured a wedding cake by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings with a top hat, tea pot, stop watch and a pot of flowers on top.”

Kenny Chesney and the ACMs — The ACM broadcasts were part of the deal when Redskins owner Dan Snyder bought Dick Clark Productions last year … Kenny Chesney was NOT upset with the fans … He was upset with the Academy’s “Idol-ization” of the Entertainer of the Year award (as power voting screws things up) … I’m just glad the whole award was not up to the “fans” as the AI fangurlz would’ve made Carrie Underwood the Entertainer of the Year …

Btw - What a shock it was to see you & Doocy on “NASCAR RaceDay” on Saturday doing the segment about the “fan vote” for the NASCAR Sprint Cup All-Star race … One complaint - You mispronounced Patrick Carpentier’s name (It’s “Pah-treak Car-pawn-tee-ay”) … I thought it was a funny coincidence that the eventual winner of the fan vote was from Enumclaw, WA and he went on to win the All-Star race and $1 Mil …

As Sal said, it’s a tough call.

Good Morning
Virginia,Chas and sweet Alisyn.
Sal

Alysin,

We go to a very large church downtown and there are many homeless hanging out. The church does take care of that part of their community, but they might not be welcome to come in a disrupt the mass. C’mon guys! This is ridiculous and a person is not entitled to be anywhere if they are disruptive…church, school, the store, the park, possibly their front porch!!?? The police just might be called. Yep, that could happen. Why would we assume malicious intent from a community that would not normally be malicious. lol

Morning Sal.

It IS a tough call..Albeit, sending a cop out to a citizen’s home to threaten them isn’t…That was over the top and possibly unconstitional..Judge?

“unconstitutional”

ALISYN;
I WOULD BET THAT FATHER JONATHAN DOES OR WOULD NOT CONDONE THIS ACTION IF HE IS
AWARE OF IT.IT GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING I’VE BEEN TAUGHT.I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT.JESUS WALKED AMONG LEPER’S AND TALKED TO THEM.MERCY,COMPASSION,
CHARITY AND ACCEPPTENCE.IF THAT WERE MY CHURCH I WOULD LEAVE AND ENCOURAGE
OTHER’S TO DO THE SAME.I WOULD WRITE A LETTER OF PROTEST TO THE BISHOP.I HAVE P.T.S.D. SUPPOSE I WERE TO HAVE A FASHBACK WOULD I BE BARRED.WHAT ABOUT SOMEONE
WITH TOURET’S SYNDROME ARE THE ALLOWED.THIS IS A BLACK MARK ON THAT CHUECH.THERE
ARE NO CHRISTIAN’S THAT ATTEND.

Has this been the church this family has been attending all along? If so, why is it now this is becoming such an issue and don’t you think this would have been something that they would have addressed some time ago?

Alysin,

It would be interesting to hear from some of your bloggers on just what their expectations are when they leave the house to go to church, with children or without, in tow. Yes, I would like to hear just exactly what is expected…yes I would! Betcha not a six foot 225 pound disruptive person…yeppers, betcha my annuity that would be the case!!!!! lol

Good morning Alisyn,

This indeed is a difficult issue. I can appreciate that Mrs. Race wanted to attend church with her son; however, her son is not a toddler over which she would have some degree of control. I don’t think we know all of the facts in order to make an informed decision on this story. Does this church not have a “cry room” where parents can take their disruptive kids so that they can still attend the service, but allow other parishoners to have a meaningful worship experience?

When my boys were small, if they made so much as a peep in church, I took them out of the sanctuary and to our church lounge, where I could hear the service and they could cry/talk/etc. without bothering anyone else. Perhaps I am guilty of being too sensitive to other people’s needs, but I could not in good conscience EVER allow a child to disrupt a church service (or any other public gathering, for that matter).

Make it a great day, Alisyn! Also, please tell Brian to cover something else besides the pro basketball playoffs when he does his sports report……..like our fantastic Pittsburgh Penguins!!!!!!

Pat

No comment on this but I would sure like to see something about Annika Sorenstam and how you guys really blew the interview this morning… what a shame… greatest woman golfer in our time getting ready to do wonderful things for kids and others and the Friends can’t even pronounce her name correctly.

Alysin,

Ken…if you are in your community that knows you and loves you, I expect the squad would be called immediately. That’s what would happen I am sure. This is not unconstitutional. Sheesh! Private property. One cannot disrupt! i.e. gays dressed as nuns? disrupting mass? this is not acceptable or a constitutional right. I think NOT!!! lol

5/19/2008 8:42 AM

I was musing in my sleep about Open Blog Friday’s first question:
“1. President Bush’s speech in Israel. Was he referring to Barack Obama’s foreign policy?”
Upon further reflection, I was partially correct. His remarks were about Jimmy Carter’s unprecedented and disgraceful abuse of his former office by conducting foreign policy. Furthermore, they were about Barrack Obama’s uninformed remarks, and lets not leave out Hillary. Barrack was taken to the woodshed for his comments about “talking to our adversaries.” Hillary was taken to the woodshed for proclaiming she would obliterate Iran in the event that country attacked Israel. Moreover, let us not forget Nancy Pelosi and her mid-East trip.
Foreign policy is the prerogative of the President of the United States. It is not the prerogative of candidates for that office nor is the prerogative of the Speaker of the House. Their actions have the effect of blurring the lines in the minds of our allies and our enemies of the President’s publically stated foreign policy.
Unpredictability of the United States foreign policy has its usefulness, but not this kind of unpredictability. (If I did not have to report to the salt mines I could cite a couple of case studies; maybe another time and maybe if anyone reads this and is interested in further explanation.)
I would write more but there is no guarantee this entry will be posted to the Aliblog.

Will Penny

YRH,

Miracles do happen! My OBF 2nd post made it. Thanks.

Will Penny

Good points Will…and well stated!

MORRNIN EVERYONE,

The Bible is The Book of Life.I think some people should read it and apply.Not just the parts they want.
This POOR Family,They are blessed as are all who face such in life.So says OUR LORD GOD.They
have every right to attend any church they wish.Have you ever been to some services where
some parents do nothing to control thier children?HELLO…This happens in every Church not just
thier chosen faith.I myself,I am a Christian,I see no differance in anything.Race,etc…that in itself
has brought problems.I live in the BIBLE belt,enough said.I was tought the first 7 words,and to live and die by those WORDS.
Thank-You &
Keep The Faith

hi aly,
13, 6′,225 lbs.-and a management case-
the decision to keep him away was made by several in the congregation-
they are afraid of litigaton

I think there is more to this story then meets the eye. Having gone to church with my children for many years it was at times difficult and at other times impossible to stay. I knew when my kids hit their limit and before they hurt themselves, someone else, or disrupted the entire congregation I would remove them from the building. We all need to learn to be more respectful to those around us. I feel badly the church resorted to “banning” the boy with a restraining order but I would imagine there were many, many conversations, suggestions, and thoughts from both sides. To say that “they” the church folk don’t understand autism is irrelevant to the situation. Autistic or not if the boy is too big to control and is indeed flailing his arms and legs people could get hurt. That is not to say it was done purposefully and with malice. The church has the right to do what it feels necessary to protect the congregation as a whole. Like I said, it seems to me there is more to this story then what was reported. I cannot fathom that this Priest woke up one morning and decided to file a restraining order without good cause.

Alysin,

Sonja…not a right honey, nope. And I was also raised in the bible belt, in the word. Not a “right” at all. The whole story has not been told, and to bash “the faith” is also not a Christian way to respond regarding a Christian community. lol

Alisyn - Would you tell Doocy that the 91 degree temp on Saturday was completely uncalled for?? How am I supposed to perfect my ginormous chocolate chip cookies IF it’s too flippin’ hot to bake??

You’ll enjoy this footage of Snoqualmie Falls from Friday and April …

Alysin,

Donna…ditto!!! lol

Alysin,

Good morning Marshall. I agree as always. lol

Excellent questions Laurie..We havn’t heard the complete story.

Alysin,

Ah~~sigh~~Will!!! As usual you are spot on. I am glad you got out of your hammock and fire pit duty, to come and comment!! Or are you comfortably ensconced in said hammock, and blogging? Good morning! lol

Allisson:

Unfortunately, I feel that the whole story is not being presented, and that there’s alot more to be said. I would agree that disallowing anyone from attending Mass is somewhat disturbing. However, let’s assume there were conversations to help this young man out and provide alternatives for him and his mother to attend Mass. What about the other church members; we really haven’t heard there side. I assure you if a child caused harm in my presence with anyone, that would be a huge problem and I would not want that child attending the same service or any service for that matter.

Since this is an opinion, and because the whole story is not told here, I’m going to agree with the priest on this one. Believe me, I have run into a very similar situation with my child. The priest had every right to confront me ask that I take my son out of the Sanctuary when he was getting out of hand. Mass is for me and my family, but it also includes those around me as well and it’s not right for anyone to be disruptive and ruin everyone elses service.

THIS IS A VERY SAD SITUATION AND CAN UDERSTAND BOTH SIDES. FOR THE MOST PART
PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT TRAINING FOR CHURCH WORKERS IS AVAILABE FREE
OF CHARGE TO THOSE WANTING IT.

THIS IS A CONSTANT WITH PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM, NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE
THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION AND PARENTS ARE SHUNNED AS WELL AS THE
CHILDREN! WHAT SHOULD WE DO? LET THEM GO TO HELL?

I AM HOPING BY THE PUBLICITY OF THIS SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN! HATS OFF TO THE MOTHER THAT WILL PRESS ON WITH THE RIGHTS OF HER 13 YEAR OLD SON. THIS PRIEST IS UPSET
OVER TIME IN CHURCH? THIS MOTHER SPENDS 24/7. I DO HOPE THE PRIEST CHECKS INTO
OTHER OPTIONS AND OPENS HIS DOORS TO A VERY HURTING SOCIETY. THE ODDS OF A CHILD DEVELOPINT AUTISM ARE STAGGERING. HE OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT HAD IT HIT HIS FAMILY OR HE WOULD NOT BE SO QUICK WITH HIS ACTIONS. IS CHURCH A PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PLACE?

THANKS FOR FOX NEWS FOR MAKING THIS PUBLIC!!!! GO TEAM GO! I HOPE THAT YOU WILL NOT STOP HERE BUT PRESS ON FOR THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WITH DISABILITIES.

Annika is pronounced AWnika not ANnika. But my point was that you didn’t talk to her about the things that you said you were in the prologue… marriage to whom, what her foundation was, etc., etc…

This is horrible-I mean to claim Christianity *christ likeness* and turn away someone from church-anybody from church is ridiculous. I mean, come on if Jesus had only hung around the really well behaved-the Bible would have been much more boring! This is crazy!!!! They go against everything Christianity is supposed to stand for,

Alysin,

Ditto Chris! Whew! My frowney face and the puzzled brow is getting some relief here! lol

Alysin,

I thinkkkkk, that no child is going to “hell”. In fact, I am certain of that. Think, listen and discern folks. The whole story is not being told. The church has reached out to this family. Where, again, is the papa? the grandmother? the best friend? the autistic community that has a huge outreach program? Where are they??? lol

Alysin,

I think some of the bloggers are confused about what a caring church does and its responsiblility to meet the needs of ALL people that attend. Some may need special attention like the 13 yr old boy that should be addressed in a different setting than a full assembly where disruptive behavior in any sense takes away from addressing the needs of the many that are there that possibly has a physical or mental need just as much so as the boy and his family. Its a tough situation to say the least. One person was right in saying that the judge/magistrate must consider the request a serious threat to the public or person to issue a restraining order. All of gods children, old and young are prescious and deserve all the love the church, (which are the ones with Christ like unselfish love not a building), can give them, but a public assembly may not be what the child needs as much so as his parents. Hopefully they can resolve this as a loving body of believers in which they may have already tried to remedy this situation out of love and had no recourse other than to restrain them from assembly so all needs from others may be served also. I hope the family gets the help and love they so desperately need and deserve from all “real” Christians, not just in this church but in all bodies of believers.

Ms. Alisyn,

Wish I had read a few Blogs before I sent my 1st…WOW….He is still a child… Hey this is my 2nd blog.I know BIG DEAL… bye the bye Say Hello to Monkey-Boy…There is a cute story here to long
for this…I am laughin to hard….you all do a wonderfull job,keep it up.this includes those behind
the scene also..

Keep The Faith

I am married to someone who is mentally ill to the point of disability, so I believe that I can comment intelligently on this story.

First,I have to say first of all that we probably don’t know the whole story.

That being said, I have to say that IF the child did what they said he did, I have to agree with the church’s stance. It is up to the parents to make sure that the child is capable of behaving in an appropriate manner for the circumstances the parents bring them into. The parents do not have the right to subject other parisheners to dangerous situations. Whether the child in question intended to harm other children by hugging them is not the point, can he controll his strength to make sure that he doesn’t harm the other children? Can the parents not use Depends or a similar product to solve the urination problem? I know from experience that there is alot that can be done in these types of situations. I also know that neither I nor anyone else is entitled to subject others to dangerous behavior or unsanitary conditions.

i have a brother that is retarded. my mother takes him to church(mostly evening services when less people attend.) he is kind of unpridictable..he will be quite and all of a sudden let out a yell. or he likes to pace at times. usually he goes to the back of the church and pace back and forth.. paceing will last a couple of minutes sometimes)most of the time he will be quite when he does this. mom puts soft bottom shoes on him…now mom has attended this church since before my brother was born and ..he is now in his 50’s…and the older members have known my brother all his life. If mom misses to many services she gets flooded with calls making sure my brother is not the reason she isnt attending. she has never been made to feel he wasnt welcome. the minister has been known..there has been several over the years..to make a joke when he suddenly yells…like at least someone supports what i’m saying..or kelly did u mean to say amen! etc. church is a very important part of my mothers life and i cant imagine her being told because of my brother she couldnt attend. my mother is now 80 years old.

Understood your comments
But keep the faith does not apply to the BIBLE

Obamas said,
about Foreign Policy we have to get to the root of the problem,
who does that sound like, ding ding, ring a bell?[Carter, pastor Wright].
Sal

Alisyn - Yes, I saw that … And once again was surprised … For someone who’s trying to remain anonymous, I’ve been popping up in the media a lot lately … LOL Tell Doocy that I’m female and don’t drink alcohol … LOL

Did Gretchen seriously not know what Beer Pong is?? The expression on her face made it look like she had never heard of it before …

You guys should’ve had NASCAR’s All-Star winner Kasey Kahne on the show … so that you & he could compare notes on Skagit County …

Alysin,

The screen is jumping around and the cursor is actin’ funny..humm. We continue to ponder…can we assume that the sheriff was sent to the home to just maybe, keep any embarrassing confrontation at the church??? While we continue to assume allllllll this malicious intent and staying up all nite trying to figure out just how mean the community and the priest could be to this family…hummm??? lol

in my earlier comment i should have mentioned my brother is not subject to harm anyone…he actually avoids others. i might also point out mom sits the back of the church. if there are special services my brother goes to the nursery..as i said he isnt a danger and doesnt bother anyone.

As a mother of an 18-year old with autism, I know all too well the challenges of disruptive behaviors in public places and feel this parent’s anguish. As much as I disagree with how the church handled this incident, I also think that the mother’s expectation of parishioners to “understand autism” by excusing these behaviors is unreasonable — I would compare this to parents with a hysterically crying baby in a restaurant expecting other diners to tune out this behavior because babies cry when unhappy.

Was there a dialog between this mother and the church prior to the restraining order? I suspect there is more to this story than what is being reported.

I always ask for the non-kid section in a restaurant, so I am not a good judge of these things. However, it does seem that the priest could have been much more diplomatic and searched for alternatives. Maybe put some Depends on the kid and find something that might occupy his mind during that brief period in church. As so often is the case, there is probably something going on with all of this that we do not know.

Alysin,

And we have all celebrated the “children” who are special, and celebrated their presence at church, and hugged our best friend when the child was born, and prayed with the family and engaged in the raising of. This situation is not being told in toto. That is obvious. lol

Banning a person with special needs is an overreaction. The first thing to do is have the parents sit down with people in the church who have the most contact with him and explain to the others about Autism. This will help them better understand about Autism. Secondly it would be good if he sat near the back so that when he started to be disruptive he and one of his parents could quietly leave so he wasn’t disrupting others. I am not trying to generalize but people who do not have or work with kids with special needs have a harder time understanding them and some of the things they do ( I find this to be especially true in the education field!) Parents and others need to help educate the public about these kids and how to best integrate them as much as possinble into society.

Guess I do not understand how to post my views.I am sorry if anyone was hurt for my views.I am an American VET. That is where those words come from…I will not post again,but I will continue to watch..Again SORRY

Alysin,

And we continue to assume that all of the above was not done. Is fox and friends going to do a follow up on this story? Or is it going to just hang out there…as they so often do. It is not incumbent on “people” to know all things about all illnesses. I am assuming, again, that this congregation did get informed and discussions were conducted, and the parent of the “child” was uncooperative and inconsiderate, perhaps. We don’t know…but, that would have to be the case. If that is not the case, she wasn’t ever getting any solace from this community, so why is she there at all? I agree with the former post…find another community that better fits the needs of your considerable difficult circumstances. My daughter has been active in this community for years, both adult and children, and I have friends with special needs children. They have alllll been to my house for celebrations and just to visit, and I do not believe for one millisec that the church hasn’t tried to find a resolution to this problem. lol

Sonja…I was not and I was referring in general and not to you specifically…except for the right to attend issue. I love your comments, so keep them coming.

I too find this story as odd and at first thought that the church was over reacting; however, what would happen when or if this boys hurts someone while at the church? Since the church knows of this behavior and did nothing about it, could they be held responsible? With all the lawsuits out there, are they just protecting the church?

There are at least two sides to every news story.

Sonja - Your opinions are just as important as any and this tends to be a pretty friendly, tolerant group. This is a heavy topic and it evokes many emotions.

So, what happens after tomorrow’s primaries? Will Hillary just keep on going like that Ever Ready Rabbit? To me the longer this goes the less presidential Obama looks, but that doesn’t seem to be the popular view. His fans seem to be blinded by something and completely ignore any negatives about the guy. Strange election season for sure……..

Ah.and FOX is on and the jr senator from Illinois tries again to change the subject. Guess chaatising the “people” over thoughts regarding his wife, does keep everyone off the subject of 57 states and other incredible thoughts that have come out of his mouth these many months, as his do not touch is wearing thin. Better get used to it big boy as we the people just might have a lot to say…and it isn’t always nice!!!!

Sonja,

The bloggers here are pretty savvy. So I doubt anyone was actually hurt by your views..But if anyone was, it’s not your problem, don’t worry about it…You’re here to voice your opinion whatever it may be and we’re here to get yours and others perspectives on various subjects..

Regards

Very tough call on this one. If this young man has no control of his bladder I wonder if he wears adult diapers? Seems like that would help. But the church cannot allow him to physically endanger others - whether they be children or older adults.

Our church has had to “ban” certain children for a period of weeks because of physical violence to other children and unending streams of profanity. It is a difficult decision each time but necessary in some cases. Please note that the parents of these children do NOT attend church and use us as a baby-sitting service which is fine with us as long as their children are reasonably well-behaved and do not endanger other children. Keep in mind that when these children are disruptive no one learns and for most of these kids the only Bible teaching they receive is the two hours they are with us each week and if we allow that to be totally ineffective because of a few children then we are not fulfilling our responsibilities.

But still a tough and emotional call each time.

Marshall,

And we watch and wait anxiously for the drama to unfold. “His” group have been told over and over again, it does not matter. Those who can discern, will change their votes in November, and those who don’t, wouldn’t anyway. We hope the majority can listen, think and discern. We continue to wonder how on earth he got such good press to begin with, with no substantive questions attached to this “new” person who would be president. I guess we have all the answers now. He is/was anointed by the dem party, and that is the end of story. I was too old to think much of him to begin with. Age does have some benefits!!!! Yeppers, it does…lol

Let me change the subject once more.

Anyone else see “There Will be Blood” with Daniel Day-Lewis? If so, what did you make of it? He is no doubt an incredible actor, but I found it very difficult to sit through that movie and wouldn’t do it again. Did I miss something in the telling of this epic, or was it just kind of dull and long-winded from beginning to end?

Marshall,

Since I really think you are smart and paying attention, I will not spend my few s heckles to go see this movie. Now, how about Indiana Jones and Narnia? I am going to go see those two for sure and not wait to watch them on the very lg, but not lg enough screen at home. lol
The carnival ride is being discussed. How did this happen and will it happen again? Welllllllllllll yes, it will happen again and accidents do happen, especially at “carnival” events..hopefully the inspector in charge of these things was not guilty of not doing his job. We all hold our breath when we participate in these kind of things..the thrill of it all being worth the risk??? Humm?? I think so!!! lol

5/19/2008 10:14 AM

Alibloggers,

Perusing some entries I would like to say to Virginia - which entry was spot on? The OBF 2nd post or the entry about the priest and the autistic child?

James in Georgia- which entry to the Alisphere. I can’t help it - I like using terms like that and Aliblog, Alibloggers. BTW, they are not copyrighted (not by me but maybe by our hostess), therefore feel free to use them. I coined them to be used.

Sonja - don’t bow out. I have been on many “S” lists. I was totally frustrated with blogging and not seeing them posted. I must have said something right that was pleasing to the blogsisphere gods (Note lower case g). Has anyone reviewed the rules of this blog with you yet? I’ll reiterate:
1. Rule #1: It’s Alisyn Camerota’s blog, therefore make nice. Compliments are accepted graciously. Insults will get one a lot of hate mail.
2. Rule #2: When in doubt see Rule #1.

Got to go, Mrs. Penny is home today and she is expecting me to accomplish multiple tasks (i.e. the hammock is rolled up and in the vestibule).

Will Penny

The comments response has started to slow as the gurus continue to fix this prob. Or maybe this is the time of day, the flow gets so slow and conversation impossible, and too difficult for the busy life that is ever present. lol

Well Marshall…looks like it might be over for a while anyway. Always makes me sad when the conversation is over. I agree with whoever commented on the smart and well informed people that come to this most wonderful place to be. lol
