I personally have enjoyed this group for going on 10 years (yeah, mine will
be 9.5 on Friday - time does go fast). Anyhow, when I read opinions that's
fine, when I read remarks, that's fine, but when you guys start to use "4
letter words" because you can't remember any other words from the dictionary
you have just reflavored this group. I was part of several groups that I
dropped like a hot cake because no one could "debate." Remember that stuff
from high school? Opinion is an opinion but the rules relate to NOT name
calling. Where are we all going to. Let's keep this group informative, fun
and friendly. I for one, don't appreciate reading peoples remarks when they
have to get personal. We have some newbies here - mom's/dad's to be of
multiples looking for help. I always found people supportive and helpful.
Where have you guys all gone. TROLLS GO AWAY!!!!

The time-honored way on usenet (and the only one that really works) is
to ignore them. If your newsreader can killfile them, then you don't
even have to see them.

That would be cool, and a good opportunity for them to work out with the
team. Why is Chris so hesitant?
If they have been working out with the team already, then they will most
likely make the cut for the team next year.

I went to my middle school today (very long story but I feel like the
traveling summer secretary, anyhow), our girls basketball coach called to
talk to me about my kids. They will be going to my school (what a great
way
to keep them under my eye) for middle school next year (not this August).
He said because both are pretty athletic and tall, he'd love to have them
work out with the 5th graders on Saturdays playing basketball and learning
the game. My DD loved the idea, my DS is hesitate but we have time as the
boys games don't start until January. Anyhow, I thought this would be so
cool for them, then they know kids next year when they arrive, get to be
ahead a bit on the game next year and gets healthy exercise!!!! Hope it
works out.

Those are not regular posters, so please don't think this is the new
normal for
this group! It looks like someone crossposted something and who knows
what
else. It's just been very quiet here lately.

Wanna read a thread about kindergarten? Because we gonna start it real
soon!!
boo-hoo!

Chris is one of those kids that has to completely know everything that may
or may not happen, he has always scoped things out before he dives in to do.
His twin is so opposite it isn't even funny. Chris even went looking for a
diamond ring one day at the mall, he told the clerk that he had a particular
diamond for the lady he will marry some day. The clerk chuckled but in all
seriousness he said he didn't have someone picked out but knew that he liked
diamonds and knew what he wanted. I have to say would I be the recipient of
this offering, I would be pretty happy. She better be nice!!!! Anyhow, he
just is a watcher. Eventually, he gets involved but not before he has
mapped things out in his mind.

Please note that the trolls posted to several groups:

soc.men,misc.kids,soc.singles,alt.parenting.twins-triplets,alt.space*******s
,alt.parenting.spanking,alt.fan.starwars

So it isn't from somebody who is really part of this group. Ignore 'em.
