A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy. "Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies." "Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "These puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money." The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?" "Sure," said the farmer. And with that he let out a whistle "Here, Dolly!" he called. Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight. As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared, this one noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner, the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up. "I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt. The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would." With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands." The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

She wanted to eat out at least 4 times a week. My son paid all the bills and she spent her money on herself. Hair done each week, nails done. Facials etc. Then she would throw a fit when he wanted to get a hair cut! Last straw she wanted a new car and him pay for it. He told her if she wanted a new car she would have to pay for it. She earned more money a week than he did. Jackie

My 2 cents worth....I think the father of the Yates children is just as responsible if not more so than the mother. It takes two to tango and he KNEW she had problems. And I wonder if any family or friends tried to step in and help this family. This is the saddest thing and you know killing your own children goes against all the maternal instinct a woman has. Guess I should say most women. If I was the maternal grandmother of those children I'm afraid I would be in jail about now!

Okay, Pat, you are influencing me. Good or bad? I couldn't let it alone--here is another site about the murders in California. His arraignment has been delayed until March 19th. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/los_angeles_metro/la-000014858feb27.story?co ll=la%2Dcommun%2Dlos%5Fangeles%5Fmetro Regards, Patricia In a message dated 02/27/2002 5:39:37 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: > Here's the story: > http://www.thestarpress.com/tsp/news/ap/stories/nation/2002-02-24-FatherArre > sted-67898.php
Hi Guys, After the OJ business, and Clinton getting off lying the judge and the country, nothing surprises me. Guess I've gotten cynical in my old age. I used to be so gullible. Aaaahah. Norma
I hadn't heard a word about it. It was interesting that immediately to the right of the story are the other national headlines and the top three are about the Yates murders. Yates testifies today that they had more children even after they were warned not to, because they loved children and just wanted to have more. He really gives me the creeps!
