Cornel Thompson of WO-S.

Just qualifying to go to the meet is awesome, let alone doing so well. Just goes to show that SE TX has some amazing athletes. (Like we didn't know that already!!!)

First of all, congrats to Miss Brannon. What an awesome accomplishment. Trey Franks ran in the 200m race and placed 4th in his heat. I believe that he placed 15th overall. He will participate in the 100m tomorrow. Any word on Hayden Reed?

Wow...Hitler was funny? What's next... will we be laughing at someone impersonating Saddam Hussein? Both were tyrants. And, no...I did not watch the video because anyone who dresses up like a cowardly, clusterscrew-up of a wannabe-man who was responsible for the genocide of millions of people (who he looked more like than the "nation" of blonde-haired, blue-eyed folks he was pushing for) doesn't deserve the attention of civilized people. And, we wonder what is wrong...

Yes, we are. Will the others get a certificate even if they didn't attend? Just wondering! Will you be at the high school on Saturday to honor them? (I know you will mm... )

Happy Birthday, DV! Hope is was a great one!!!

Well, whatever the event...she qualified. Nice! What an opportunity for this young lady to travel and compete in Italy. Is she still in high school or did she graduate?

I agree with you. I think that sometimes people tend to forget that these kids are fallible and that no one wants to win MORE THAN THE PLAYERS! I don't think that WO-S' record is too shabby and yes, I would have loved to gone farther each year. When you are parent of a child who has busted his behind and given all he can give and he is crying, looking for you after a loss in the playoffs (especially as seniors)...I'll just say that you tend to look past how it looks/feels to the fans and everyone on the outside because in the end, it's all about the kids.

Wow...if only the countless parents over the years (whose kids tried/abused/or were addicted to any substance) would have thought about talking to their kids and "knowing" their kids well enough to know when they were lying. Sometimes, it might not be that easy. I, too, believe that it is the parent(s)'s job to teach their kids to not only say no to any drug, but also let their parents know if they know of someone who is attempting to get kids to try drugs. Does it happen? Yes and no. Are there still countless kids who lie to their all-to-trusting-parents? Yes and no. Will it continue? I'm sure. There are those who will become manipulative enough to convince their parents that they have not (or never will) try drugs and then there some parents who actually probably have a clue that there is a problem, but are too scared/cowardly/or just don't care to address the problem and do something about it.

Wish it were closer! :'(

Obama thought we had 57 states! Obama said Cuotro de Cinco on May 4th! Its Cuotro de Mayo Enough said!! 8) Who cares! He's still the President Evidently you guys do because you get all wadded up anytime someone mentions him! The B.O. defense crew rushes into action I guess I rush to his defense more out of spite because one reason is that I know a lot of you people couldn't stand it when he won. No, I didn't vote for him that is true. Did I lay awake and gnash my teeth about it though? Not hardly. Life goes on. I'm finding now that its fun watching you guys run around trying to take up for him. Here is is what the thread will look like if we don't defend him somewhat: Bear; Obama sucks Hippy: Yeah, he does Bandkid: I agree TVC: He really sucks Bear: Glad we all agree Thread over. ;D Defend him somewhat???? You guys break your necks tripping over each other to defend him. And if we didnt' keep you guys honest here is what it would look like Westend: I get a tingle up my leg when Obama speaks Bluedove: Yeah he is the greatest person ever born Dick: Black power! Obama's the man! SFA: Republicans suck Westend: Yes they do and Democrats are the greatest but I'm an independent Stang: Ditto everything Thats some funny stuff!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D [/quote It really is...I mean, ditto...that's really funny stuff. Thanks for thinking of me bearbaby... but, you're just a tad bit off. I don't agree with everything that everyone who is a liberal/non-conservative/of differing opinion than you...so, I can't ditto everything. But, you definitely get an "A" for effort and cuteness.

WO-S' Trey Franks will be there (North Carolina) competing as well. Congrats!

If they didn't show up that day and refused to test, then they should be consequenced like they had tested positive. It seems that perhaps they did have a heads-up. A friend of mine lives in BC and her daughter is a junior this year. In the last three years, she has been drug-tested six or seven times. She's a pretty safe bet. I would hope that it is completely random, but I don't know. The dealer of the steroids (MD or veterinarian or anyone in between) is the biggest culprit. And, unfortunately, I think more parents know (than don't know) that their child is doing steroids.

JMO, but I totally disagree with this statement. With the problem of steroids being a national problem and in the media (professional sports), I feel like that if kids are made aware of this problem early and the "threat" of them being tested is there, they will think twice about doing it. Scale it back, maybe; totally get rid of it, NO. Even if a handfull of kids test positive and they are "caught" at an early age, their life may be saved in the long run. I agree. Can't put a price on a kid's life...

Condolecenses to the family and friends of this young man. Our prayers are with you from WO-S. Did it say that the last time he was seen was by a police officer and his car ran out of gas? Did the police officer offer to help or help him? It just stood out.

I saw her today on two different networks. She is still a headline grabber. For now, but sometimes that's not a good thing! Kills time in the news while they try to think up what else they can make into a news story. True, true or until something horrible happens that they can ride for a while. Not a job that I think I would like.

Was there one day without palin in the news...now that's progress!

Wow...I wish someone would have told me that President Obama was "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man." And here I've been in the dark all of this time. (No, I am not trying to make this racial!) 8)

Will it be ac'd? I mean, while it would be nice to have in inclement weather, wouldn't there be a certain disadvantage due to games will be played in the good old SE TX climate? Just wondering....

Please don't try and quote me because I never said to lower tuition...I stated that they needed to recap it, like it used to be. I would deal with it, but I have much more important things to do than what you're wanting me to do. Hope that doesn't offend. And, coop, if you take his off, please take mine off because it has taken a nose dive (by more than 200) in about the last month. I'm not crying because I really don't care and IT REALLY DOESN'T BOTHER ME. What's the age limit on here? I know that my son has posted...oh well, he wouldn't be considered a juvenile. A young man/adult, but not juvenile. Oh, never mind! I see that my earlier comment is proving myself true...thanks for the reinforcement. Here's some love for you though... :'( :-* :-*. See, I kissed it and made it all better! 8) OMG, you really are a juvenile. I mean what's next? na na na na na na?? (Here it comes folks) Your credibility with politics is nil. You speak out both sides of your mouth. One time you are OFFENDED (nice try throwing that at me, you are the sensitive one) with name calling, then you defend 85 and what he said to the kid. So you really don't have a stance, you just want to type and have people read it. Is it self-empowering? I haven't touched your karma, mainly because I don't care. LOL. Well, actually you were the one who was crying over the karma thing. To voice my opinion and believe in what I believe in without someone trying to oppress me...that's self-empowering, but I empower myself daily, so it's not that big of a deal. And, sure you don't care...just like you don't care about your karma, huh? Thank goodness I don't need your opinion about my political credibility. Remember, sometimes...just because you say it is or isn't so, does not mean it either way. Remind me again how I talked out of both sides of my mouth. Question? How does one speak with their mouth and only speak out of one side of it? Is it kind of like ventriloquism? Just wondering. :-* Anyway, just to let everyone know...I am exiting the site now and therefore will not be available to provide karma for anyone. I thought maybe baddog and bearbryant might be able to sleep a tad bit better! Good night.

yes and they were utterly tasteless in their attacks on her for having that baby. I don't agree with Obama on most of the issues but to me his kids are off limits. He's got two beautiful girls and they should be left alone. That wasn't the case with Palin's kids. And no, SFA-- her keeping the baby as well as welcoming her oldest daughter does not put her family values down the drain. It shows the high famliy values that she has. Oh, so now it's ok because she's who she is. Where were the warm fuzzies and high family values at when we were referring to children born out of wedlock were called bastards, or the kids who don't choose their parents and maybe couldn't afford to go to college were called simpletons (just in masses of course)... I honestly don't recall anything being said about Trig...but, I didn't stay glued to the t.v. either. Things that make you go.... ummmm........ Well, not really because it seems that the kids who make mistakes who come from broken/poorer families are not referred to as having high family values...just the ones whose parents can afford to help them with their child and help them get through school in order to make a better life for the both of them. Ahhh....I see! I'll explain it to you one more time. A bastard is a child born out of wedlock. If Palin's kid had a child born out of wedlock, it would be a bastard. Not name calling, that's the definition. Deal with it. On the simpleton...that wasn't directed at the kids whose parents couldn't afford college. It was directed at the simpletons who would then be able to get degrees when they weren't qualified because you wanted to LOWER the entrance fees. Get it straight or don't try and quote me. Your inconsistencies lessen any credibility. Have you ever gone through a drive-through, you were the only one in line, placed your order and they got it wrong? That's a simpleton. They're everywhere. Deal with it. Coop, can you take the karma thingy off my profile. There's some juveniles on here playing stupid games. It doesn't bother me, it would just take away some of their fun. Please don't try and quote me because I never said to lower tuition...I stated that they needed to re-cap it, like it used to be. I would deal with it, but I have much more important things to do than what you're wanting me to do. Hope that doesn't offend.

Call me stupid...I mean....something, but besides the fact that I haven't been on here since this morning and have been doing housework and stuff with the kiddos. Wish I could take credit for it (well, not really because I don't really get my kicks out of pushing that darned button)...besides, how often can you push the button? 13? Wow...if I were smiting you, I wouldn't be the only busy finger-on-the-button on here. :-*
