Dale, I'm here for a little while today. I don't know about everybody else. I've been busy with the Labor Day weekend. I have my daughter, her 4 boys, 2 cousins, my son, brother and sister-in-law, nephew, my parents, sister, brother, nephew and 3 nieces and some friends here from out of town at varying times for meals etc. I have really enjoyed the company, but been busy.

The List is currently under moderation. the reasons are as follows. This action is to forestall a attack planned by those who have been banned from the lists. <<> >> >> I wonder how long it will be before the hammer drops--it's unusual for >> Jeff >> not to check in and surely he must have expected SOMETHING to come up on >> the list in honor of Jack court date. >> > >> Over the last week or so I have been working to keep the Topic of Jack's trial off the list as a topic. This wasn't a popular decision with 12 people. Periodically I have also recieved direct mail from various members of that group which indicated that they were on the list under aliases, and attempting to reignite the fires which lost this list 60 % of it's subscribers in a four week period. (Down from 350+ to less than 200) Various individuals have also been posting directly to some list members behind the scenes, and harrassing them. ONE of those has lost an ISP account, which she has re-established on another server. This was a direct result of the communications I personally had with the abuse department of her server, and provided copies of her messages submitted by her victims. One recent subscriber used the name BobHansen, an impersonation. That person's identity is known to me, as well as some of the other aliases that were in use. [email protected] was another. As soon as the ban on the Child Pornography subject went up, the person resubbed and qualified as a relative of a near Identical case. This was (immediately suspicious) a (now) proven scam to disrupt the list, and debase the manager's authority to set the topics. > My Uncle was involved in a child pornography ring on the internet.

(amazing about that comment re: private Yahoo Groups designed for nefarious purposes) I did recieve several emails that indicated this was happening directly from the parties involved. <<[email protected] writes: > > damn he wont post my answer. > >> >>> It depends on what the info is.

I think the things that are sent should be mostly genealogy and friendly. After Jack is sentenced then, that's when bombs should be dropped if they are. >> A follow-up answer: <<Let me know where you want the bombs dropped<g>..... Old Crow>> Then to me personally: <<From: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> Are you having fun at your little game. Protecting a child molester. Did you order some of his videos? I still cant believe how dumb you are , not to have caught me on my request to join... LOL>> From: <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> oh bull sh*t you did not know... or you wouldnt have let me in, So you did get some tapes... did you enjoy them... you are a sicko you are the one who should be worried... deleting evidence , hiding a child molester. buying kiddie porn videos. Some of the privately sent mail to our list members included choice comments, like the following: <<> >> Oh God!! You must be as sick as your friends Jeff and Jack.>> <<CHILD MOLESTATION IS NOT FOOLISHNESS... There is another child missing...>> << > I don't condone Child molesters, or approve of anyone helping them to hide > the fact. > Nor do I hide there dirty laundry,,,, it needs to be hung from the highest tree. And he needs to be castrated... >> << I just received 2 emails from Jack Childers and they both contained downloads, I haven't dared look at it and and am not about to download it. >> (How can he send email from a Jail cell? and an address on one of the "Dirty Dozen's" servers? This is what caused the loss of THAT ISP account) On July 20th, twelve former members of the IBSSG started a mail group on Yahoogroups. I was informed, that this group was forming on July 7th. (Yes two weeks before it was formed on Yahoogroups) The PRIVATE group is called "The_Dirty_Dozen" and has amassed over 1500 messages since that date. It is a group designed to promote sabotaging IBSSG. So far Yahoo is unresponsive to my obvious questions. The mail lists will be "moderated" and appropriate emails will be forwarded, those that are not "on-topic" will NOT. I hope everyone understands the reasons for these actions. Jeffery G.

I just realized I sent a letter to Blacksheep Chat List that I intended to send to Memory Lane. Sorry about that, it sure doesn't do to write when you are dead tired from packing. How can one lone woman accumulate so much stuff? Gail in La.

Judy, I am happy you finally got a dog. One of the best dogs I ever had was a lovable mutt, part Collie and part German Shepherd. He was such a wonderful dog and I still miss him even after 25 years. We called him Charlie Brown, the best dog in town. We lived in a trailer park and someone had been stealing my gas about twice a week. So this one night when I came home I backed into my driveway rather than pulling in like I usually did. I tied Charlie Brown to the back bumper with a big bone to chew on and went on to bed. About 3 am I heard Charlie barking and growling and someone yelled lets get the hell out of here. I looked out the window but by that time they were gone and they never stole my gas again. Charlie sure earned his dog food that night. I did buy a locking gas cap though as I always felt better with Charlie in the house at night as he could hear better than I could. I love cats but dogs are great. Heck I love just about all animals, even the squirrels that eat the bird seed I put out LOL. Gail in La.

A woman brought a very limp parrot into a veterinary surgery. As he laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadly and said, "I'm so sorry, Polly has passed away." The distressed owner wailed, "Are you sure? I mean, you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or something." The vet rolled his eyes, shrugged, turned and left the room, returning a few moments later with a beautiful black Labrador. As the bird's owner looked on in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his front paws on the examination table and sniffed the dead parrot from top to bottom. He then looked at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head. The vet fussed the dog and took it out, but returned a few moments later with a Cat. The cat jumped up and also sniffed delicately at the bird. The cat sat back, shook its head, meowed and ran out of the room. The vet looked at the woman and said, "I'm sorry, but like I said, your parrot is most definitely 100% certifiably ..... dead." He then turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and produced a bill, which he handed to the woman. The parrot's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150! she cried, $150 just to tell me my bird is dead.!!" The vet shrugged. "If you'd taken my word for it the bill would only have been $20, but what with the Lab report and the Cat scan and all..........." Well ya get the picture! KYUCK KYUCK KYUCK!......E T.....

Thank you Aleta. I agree 150%. best regards to all, Rick Stirling, IBSSG, BoPeep2002 and proud of it.

FW: These are so bad they're good1. Two vultures board an airplane, each carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at them and says, "I'm sorry, gentlemen, only one carrion allowed per passenger." 2. Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils. 3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it, too. 4. A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He slides up to the bar and announces: "I'm looking for the man who shot my paw." 5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? He wanted to transcend dental medication. 6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?" they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer." 7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; the name him "Juan." Years later, Juan send a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal." 8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars. 9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ?what? (Oh, man, this is so bad, its good) A super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis. 10. And finally, there was a man who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Armadillos........That used to be done, years ago. You could find those little baskets made of an armadillo shell.in gift shops, etc. Then it was discovered that Armadillos carry the virus or bacteria that causes Leprosy (Hansen's disease) And I think they are the only animal that does carry the disease. Armadillos are used in medical research and they have learned a lot about the disease this way. Leprosy is the least infectious disease that there is, but I wouldn't take any chances. Laurelyn
