IL - Azariah Nino, 3, beaten to death, Beach Park, 27 May 2008

I forgot to ask Webster what he thought of snickering before I used the term. I just do that when I find something amusing. Generally don't laugh derisively at anyone. Perhaps I just don't laugh heartily enough to know what to call it? ANYWAY, there's never any ill intent with me. I am sorry, again, if you thought so.

Oh, and I wasn't snickering at the personal info - guess you had to be in my brain at the exact proper time of amusement. Sorry.

Snicker is derisive, giggle is amusement.

Snicker is derisive, giggle is amusement.

Perhaps one's Pain IS another's pleasure?

Glitchwizard, You know what? I'm done with this. I stand by my thoughts about your use of the word snicker and we're probably both better off leaving it alone.




Sorry guys I will stay back on topic.



I'm trying to understand how there was one or more witnesses to this yet no one stopped her. I know I would have, I would have done anything to make her stop.

No - Thank You.......:blowkiss:

I just wish that I could put that handwriting example on a billboard for the world to see.....I dream big.

If you don't dream big then big dreams can't come true and as long as JR is still alive there is a chance and although it' small I hope (dream) there will be some sort of confession.

Snicker is derisive, giggle is amusement.

I always preferred maniacal laughter myself:crazy:

 

[Linda7NJ]

*snicker* Bet if you told him you posted this for the world to see NOW... he'd say... I'd rather you spanked me! *snicker*

Seemed innocent enough to me Glitch...I understood exactly how you meant it!

 

[gaia227]

I did too. You were saying I bet he would have preferred you spanked him as a child rather than telling all these people he wet his bed until he was twelve. It was a joke. You added the *snicker* as a way of letting people know you were kidding - kinda like adding a after saying something. I don't think Glitch was thinking what the literal definition of snicker is.

Perhaps there is an underlying issue that happend on another thread or something but I think most posters here would prefer to talk about the subject at hand rather than listen to a rather personal argument about semantics.

The neighbors even heard it. They said her home attracted a bad crowd and it was not a happy home life.

It seems to me, from that little bit, that the mother was more into partying than child rearing.

Me too, Glitch. :blowkiss:

Back to the subject, this just sickens me that no one came to help this little guy. I previously taught preschool and then went on to coordinate a children's program at our local Jr. museum. I had alot of 3 yr olds that participated in classes. Many at that age get so absorbed in what they're doing, that when they realize they have to pee, they can't hold it. I just kept extra clothing on hand for accidents.

My own dd did pretty well potty training, but I remember one time when she was close to 3 that she went over and stood in the corner behind the recliner to pee instead of going to the bathroom. My mom always taught me at frustrating parenting moments to take a deep breath and count to 10. All it took was putting dd back in pull ups for a day. She wanted her "big girl" panties back so bad that she never had another accident.

When this mother gets older and her pee muscles get weaker - she'll sneeze one day and get pee on her clothing. Maybe at that point she will have an "ah ha!" moment and realize that the human body isn't always reliable in holding on to liquids. It's not rocket science that accidents happen. :-(

And, for those who know me better - thank you for your voicing your support. I'd have never thought a snicker was derisive since giggling isn't my style and manical laugher scares people when I do it. I learned something today, and will just have to find another word, other than giggle or snicker, to indicate my amusement. I do like Snickers, though - especially the chocolate ones!

 

[Mygirlsadie]

Jubie I know..I would of physically removed the child from the situation I don't care if they called the cops and accused me of kidnapping. I would of done anything in my power but that child would NOT have been touched if I had been there.. I will probably end up getting shot one day by some trashy family because I really don't care what happens to me when it comes to protecting a innocent little child and i'll be the first to stick my nose in the business.

Laugh away! It's just not as amusing for everyone when it's at someone else's expense. Especially a co-poster that dared to openly share as you have in the past.

There was no laughing at anyone's expense. I've apologized to you for how your misunderstanding made you feel. I acknowledged that I learned I have misused the word snicker my entire life and would now correct my error. Please tell me what else you'd like me to do so you can move on. I know, beyond a doubt, if you really knew me, you'd totally understand. This medium doesn't allow it, and for that I am very sorry.

LOL - Okay - MY misunderstanding doesn't need to take up any further room as this is a non-issue for me so moving on past a conversation that you are still having is a piece of cake. Jubie had a very valid point that I agreed with and I'm sorry that this medium didn't allow you to get it. I will just agree with you in hopes that this "mother" has many Depends moment in her furture and leave it at that. If not - we do have the PM function.......

A cackle is always fun as well. :crazy:

I tried to cackle once at Halloween and ended up in a coughing fit. I suppose the amused, sly grin in as complex as I can get.

River Rat - maybe we can facilitate the woman's depends moment. Want me to write her cellmate and have her dip her hand in warm water each night while she sleeps so she wets the prison bed? (Here would be awesome to insert your manical laugher, golfmom!)

We can get the rest of the inmates to do a "Carrie" scene, only using depends instead of maxis!

Hey! That was MY manical laughter!

 

[GlitchWizard]

Correction - Linda's manical laugher.

Golfmom had manical laughter, too, though.

Oooh, creepier still - both of your manical laughters at the same time, in a recording, playing while the depends are being tossed and someone who cackles without coughing can fade the cackle out at the end.

Perfect as a public service video to get the information out there.

They should (on a serious note, not that I have many of them) have commercials regarding parenting. Things like showing a child born, then at school, then walking at Graduation and a caption saying ...

1% of all high school graduates have bladder control problems. Chances are, your child will outgrow theirs before then. Please do not hit a child.

Or something that explains that a child peeing is not a threat, a child saying "no" is not a threat, either.

I could think of a million things that ought to be on television in between the toilet paper and new car commercials.

(More condom commericals aimed at people who don't have the temper to be a parent is one idea.)
