There is no governing body for the cheerleaders, so they have no safety standards...

12:35 am

cheerleading has become theatre... it is a sport that imitates dolls
12:35 am
herinfernallady

Actually there is regulations on basket tosses and such now
12:36 am
mrpresident

they are not allowed to do sexually suggestive moves either...

but there is still no governing body for their safety
12:36 am

Isn't there a National Cheerleading Assocation (at least at the collegiate level)?
12:36 am

12:39 am

more and more schools are making up rules for protection, our uil in texas has such rules, but not alot of states have them
12:40 am
MLFAN17

herin some of their music sure is suggestive i even heard te song Push it or at least partial duing one of the cheerleaders routines in a competition once
12:40 am
mrpresident

Texas is the only state with the rules in place
12:40 am
herinfernallady

There is rules and ruglations. that is the American Association of Cheerleading
12:41 am
mrpresident

cheerleaders are pop culture icons! Synonomous with popularity... they are willing to risk their lives though.
12:41 am
cherlyq63

problem is those rules are antiquated and so many new moves are not covered by them
12:42 am
mrpresident

infern, there is no governing body to those rules
12:42 am
herinfernallady

That is the 09 Guidelines.
12:42 am
MLFAN17

i see a lot of moves over and over. i am a bit bothered with soem of the outfits they wear
12:42 am
cherlyq63

then maybe they are finally waking up to issue
12:42 am
herinfernallady

Puts on lawyer hat. But at that age they should be responsible for their safety too.
12:43 am
mrpresident

indeed MLF... it is very controvertial especially amongst the young children
12:43 am
cherlyq63

yep, but alot of kids think it will look good for scolarships to have difficult moves
12:44 am
MLFAN17

thats something else mrp why do they have younger cheerleaders like those under the age of say 13???
12:44 am
mrpresident

They push the envelope every year in the national championships!!
12:44 am

12:45 am
mrpresident

they have cheerleaders in primary school... 8 years old etc... and their culture is very much around being pretty and popular... and sexual to some.
12:45 am
westford

they sure do and for twirling too
12:45 am
herinfernallady

I don't ahve much respect for a culture that has an appearance of ZERO brains and an intolerance for others that aren't them
12:45 am

What has cheerleading got to do with scholarship? What's happened to the meaning of words?

8:48 am
Uniquity

Inge, it is possible that a word went into the list and not the grid. Happens to me quite often. My list reads 225, same as the grid.
8:48 am
EvaNadine

AS9 builds off of the SY7-8 combo....think of nerves in the brain + chemicals firing in there...
8:49 am
EvaNadine

theres AF6/27 in the grid.
8:53 am
inge

OK, trying for the as 9. The other a word checked in.

4:21 pm
EvaNadine

ok, so, i knwo generally people have a shower for their first pregnancy + not after that.
but is it "socially acceptable" to have another shower for your 3rd pregnancy if the first 2 were girls + the 3rd is a boy?
4:21 pm
westford

absolutely
4:21 pm
westford

those hand me down won't do

4:22 pm

well,westford,you see the salad fork,while it does have shorter tines it is superior for back scratches as the time are a tad more blunt than the average dinner fork.so embarrasing fork puncture questoins can be avoided at the E.R
4:22 pm
crosshair

tines even
4:22 pm
EvaNadine

thats news to me. i thought you got one shower, and thats it...
4:23 pm
westford

I understand crossy I like the dinner fork because the handle is generally longer
4:23 pm
westford

how far apart are the babies?
4:23 pm
bichon

di 7/32?
4:23 pm
crosshair

but it is bad form at baby showers....
4:23 pm
magazinemom

Eva- that is considered totally acceptable these days
4:23 pm
pythonx

i have always thought it was one shower per couple, no matter how many babies
4:23 pm
EvaNadine

lets see....her first daughter turns 7 this year and her second daughter is 3, i think.
4:24 pm
EvaNadine

pythonx -- thats the rule i always knew.
4:24 pm
westford

so she must still have the big items like crib and stroller

alot of items can be reused whatever the baby's sex
4:24 pm
magazinemom

I had a shower for each of my children. First was a girl, second was a boy- they were 20 months apaprt, so I mostly got boy clothes and boy items
4:25 pm
westford

baby showers can get costly if the mother 'registers' all big ticket items
4:25 pm
westford

that's true python for the most part
4:26 pm
crosshair

and in the end,if momma wants a showr for her baby let her have a baby shower.i mean whats going to happen the excess baby shower police are going to come and tear gas the place?? lol
4:26 pm
bichon

My d.i.l. is expecting a boy this time and she thinks the ideas of a second shower is funny
4:26 pm
crosshair

life is to enjoy so do it :)
4:26 pm
westford

usually someone else gives the shower sometimes it's a surprise
4:26 pm
magazinemom

Many times it is because the mom's friends want to throw her a shower. And you aren't necessarily obligated to buy a gift, just send a nice card
4:26 pm
pythonx

no the police won't come, but she may come off as greedy to others
4:26 pm
zoozzoom

Thanks bubba..been looking for that one a long time
4:27 pm
westford

eva how close are you to the mother will you be expected to attend?
4:27 pm
EvaNadine

the whole point of the baby shower is that the couple has nothing for a baby, so you are showering them with the things they need. all they dont have now, are "boy" clothes.
to me, it just seems like they are begging for gifts. strikes me as a little tacky...
(i received the invitation from the mother-to-be's mother.)
4:27 pm
crosshair

mm perhaps python..theese things can be a mystery to us menfolk:/
4:27 pm
EvaNadine

this is my best friend. so yeah, i pretty much have to attend.
4:28 pm
magazinemom

It *IS* poor etiquette for a close family member to have the shower though
4:28 pm
westford

and she's sure it's a boy? my cousins dil was having a boy ( her third child) who turned out to be another girl
4:28 pm
pythonx

crossy, you wouldn't believe some of the plotting that goes into showers these days.
4:28 pm
crosshair

as a guy with a baby on the way all i knew was to say goodbye to any positive cash flow for many years;/
4:29 pm
BabbleRabble

If without any suggestion from the parents a friend decides to hold a second shower are the parents obligated to say they will not participate?
4:29 pm
westford

so true crossy
4:29 pm
EvaNadine

i DO know it is "bad etiquette" for family members to throw the shower. i threw her first baby shower.
4:29 pm
magazinemom

the shower should be given by friends or relatives like aunts or cousins
4:30 pm
magazinemom

sorry eva, didn't mean to suggest you didn't know that :-) was just saying that was the bigger breach of etiquette :-)
4:30 pm
westford

are you kidding bab? grandparents would have to participate
4:30 pm
crosshair

lol seems like less planning went into d-day than what planning and back room meeting that go on for baby showers lol
4:30 pm
westford

and would want to
4:31 pm

eva has she said anything to you "like boy another shower would be great" but personally I think it is tacky
4:31 pm
pythonx

i have started to receive invites now that tell me I am expected to bring food and what food I should bring.
4:31 pm
BabbleRabble

I said nothing of grandparents
4:31 pm

4:32 pm

crossy slowly backs away as the mysteries of baby showers intensifies....
4:32 pm
EvaNadine

nope. i had no idea about another shower until today, when i got the invitation from her mother.
4:32 pm
magazinemom

whoa python! that is bad!
4:33 pm
westford

have any of you heard that some people think it's bad luck to have a shower before the baby is born?
4:33 pm
BabbleRabble

some people think a lot of things
4:34 pm
EvaNadine

crossy, the general rule is that in no way, shape, or form are you allowed to ask for gifts. you are not allowed to have your mother or siblings ask for gifts.
if someone else wants to GIVE you gifts (thus, someone else throwing the shower), then that is ok.
4:34 pm
pythonx

4:34 pm

Trifioso, go online if nothing else. Search your state's divorce laws. Knowledge is power. He already has indicated he will not be bound by legal orders unless forced to. Force him too.
9:44 pm
72 Temple Owl

no but have faith, trif. and a good attorney.
9:44 pm
Trifioso

yes, I have done that BR. read the entire chapter, in fact. Can't say I understood all of it, but I did read it.
9:44 pm
lbdawger

have it paid through the court, Trif. that way the court has the records of his payments
9:45 pm
Trifioso

generally speaking, which would you all say is better: to ask him to put my name on the deed to the new house, or to insist on half the value of the house he bought paid to me?
9:45 pm
72 Temple Owl

you knoe, being old enough to remember when no fault divorce became law, i rmemebr the argument against it. too young to understand then, but do very well now.
9:46 pm
72 Temple Owl

take the money. house with no way to upkeep does not work, and values are too labile
9:46 pm
BabbleRabble

If money for a lawyer is an issue, ask the mediator to allow you to use some to hire an attorney. If funds are not available than ask the mediator to order your husband to pay. After all, he already has spent thousands.
9:46 pm
lbdawger

I think your name on the deed protects you in getting a fair share, since what he says is half may not be a fair half.
9:47 pm
72 Temple Owl

dawg that can be gamed. i did so a bit to get back some of what i lost.
9:47 pm
BabbleRabble

Listens to your guts and brain and not your heart.
9:47 pm
torgone

What is better is to stand on the signed agreement which is a binding legal document. Let a judge or arbiter decide what is the outcome of abrogating that agreement.
9:47 pm
lbdawger

on the other hand...cash in hand now keeps you from wondering if you'll ever get anything from the house
9:48 pm
Trifioso

what he says is half should be pretty easy to determine, since he just paid for the house on Thursday last.
9:48 pm
72 Temple Owl

gee trif and all i am very sorry but this is too close to home and i have spoken too much
9:49 pm
72 Temple Owl

9:49 pm

9:50 pm
Trifioso

I will only speak grid from now on , I promise!
9:50 pm
lbdawger

9:51 pm

9:51 pm
Marc Freeman

Good evening, could I have a clue with the two ur7's, please?
9:51 pm
DR1965

9:51 pm
lbdawger

10:07 pm

10:10 pm
torgone

It started turning into the Alan Alda self-adoration show .. got too preachy ..
10:11 pm
Trifioso

hmmm. I stopped liking it when Margaret was walking around with her hair all feathered. NOT very period-appropriate
10:11 pm
torgone

That was about the same time ..
10:12 pm
72 Temple Owl

so many haad left by that time, i guess he was the lynchpin, at least in his own mind
10:12 pm

I do like the smithsonian series alan alda did for PBS though
