KIDS THAT AREN'T POTTY TRAINED

When it comes to potty training kids are smarter than most of the parents. Today's theory is that kids give parents a signal when they think THEY are ready to introduce their little butts to a potty. It seems to me parents aren't getting the signal. I recently saw a kid squatting on the floor ,grunting and pointing to his diaper trying to hint to his clueless parents that something was "going on" down there that required attention.

I've seen kids dragging boxes of Pampers to their parents asking for a refill. I've seen kids at checkouts buying those "Big Boy Pants" to take home to their unable to get the point moms. Whats wrong with these so called adults?

We need to get some common sense here.Introduce the child's butt to a pot before he is old enough to go to Harvard. Books are heavy enough without asking him to tuck a box of diapers in his book bag.

Kids are a lot brighter than modern day parents think. Look at that "wise-Butt"kid that sells E-Trade on TV. He is sitting on a plane with a drink in his hand and has the gall to be wearing a diaper. How about all those kids on TV making money by doing that "Potty-Dance"? Does anyone think that maybe their parents should be shuffling down to Walmart to get them a gizmo called a potty-chair?

Its time you parents wake up. Toilet training isn't that hard. Give it a try!

POTTY TRAINING 60'S STYLE

I think its time we went back to the 60's when it comes to potty training. Modern day kids are smarter than most of the parents.

OUR PRESIDENT NOT TAKING CREDIT

President Obama needs to take credit for pulling out the last group of combat troops from Iraq. This is finally the end of a very painful era in America's history. He needs to remind the American people that had it not been for his wisdom this conflict could have continued to fester. As recent as last week the military talking heads were pontificating that conditions on the ground would guide the decisions. We should thank the President Obama for saying enough.

CATS ROCK

Cats rock.. I own two of them so I knew that watching my daughter’s dog for a long weekend would stink but she suckered me in with her motherly , tearful brown eyes. Her parting words were; “Mom, don’t worry she is a real good dog all she does is lie on her blanket.”.
Right, and I believe in Santa Claus .My first problem was that I couldn’t stop the dog from eating the cat food and the cats signed up for Jenny Craig rather than eat the dog food.
The dog spilled all her water and both the cats took a very unwanted dip in the pool due to being pursued by a eighty pound dog. The cat door then got ripped off the casing because the dog wondered why the cats had their own powder room in the garage- and soon found out that her eighty pound body couldn’t fit through a opening meant for ten pound felines.
Making the potty run was the next joy facing me. I was wishing that dog would just get a onset of acute constipation. Not my luck. There I was walking around the neighborhood with my plastic bag while my pooch buddy was being very selective about a spot to do her business. I tried to coerce her to use the empty lot owned by the electric company. That way I could cheat and not have to pick the business up. No way , she chose my neighbors well manicured turf instead.
Next came the 4th of July fireworks. Another advantage of cats, cats don’t bark! Dogs bark and whimper and shake. So I had to sit up all night, while the dog howled, whimpered, barked and shook.
Then this thing started to get serious. The dog missed her owner and went into a state of depression. Then the mental condition became physical . She had to be treated for a pulled muscle when her foot got caught in her neck bandana when she tried to jump the coffee table to attack the UPS man who rang the door bell. Needless to say I was very happy to see my daughter return. And I love my gentle, serene, fun loving Bonnie and Clyde all the more. No more dog sitting for me. Cats rock!

THE COUCH FROM HELL

Four years ago I purchased the coach from HELL. I’m sure many of you have made the same mistake. I went to one of those places where you have to buy the whole deal. You can walk in there thinking your only going to buy a $400.00 couch. Somehow if your weak willed like me you will end up with a couch, loveseat, tables, rug, lamps, pool table, and back scratcher.
I ended up in one of those deals and got the whole package and a couch that had a mind of its own. All the cushions were loose and the place where none of them wanted to be was on the couch. If you sat on them they slid forward, the back ones also didn’t like their lot in life . It was the worse couch I have ever owned. Finally it got to my mind. My cats wouldn’t even sit on it and any company that had to deal with it were stuck gripping the sides for dear life so they would not slide off.
I decided the cure was to try BIG LOTS. The couch is the most comfortable one I have ever owned. The cushions do just that- cushion. I bought just what I wanted and nothing additional. In this economy the buyer needs all the help they can get.-- Thanks--BIG LOTS!
