sigh, sniff, sniff.
Funny you bring up raising children. Shorty's rant reminded me of my children's early years tugging at what ever appendage they could reach repeating the same thought over and over until they got a satisfactory answer or got the message that the answer was no. I guess Shorty can't figure out the answer must be no.
On the other hand you remind me of my kids when they were preteenagers and through their early teenage years, who thought they could outsmart dear old dad and manipulate him as they wished. They know better now.
you did bring up something that interests me though...
>>In fact, I tried to help Poet and marcos fire up a resource thread here, but with little success. Active posters elsewhere have offered reasons why. C'est la vie.
What kind of resource thread? Poet seems to be doing fine currently with the options box and her corner threads, what were the "reasons" given for the "lack of success". I'll be happy to offer my own since Poet seems to be succeeding well enough when unencumbered by your and/or marcos's assistance.
