Do you know there are parents who actually sing that to their kids in the library?
Shouldn't that qualify the place to be a "hostile work environment?"

We were not Barney-ites. We were Comfy Couch followers and we did the 10 second tidy.
WAY less annoying.

We LOVED Big Comfy Couch!

OK, what would you do?

I just came home a little bit ago and there was a lawn tractor parked in my driveway. I haven't hired any contractors. I wasn't in the market for estimates. My house is kind of private, only one neighbor. So, what would you do?

Not think much of it.

That is strange. I'd probably ignore it for a while & hope whoever parked it there would come & get it.

Just the tractor?

Do you see anyone working in the neighborhood? (I assume you would mention it.)

That would bug me.

I'm reading the "PreviousyTV" forums about last night's Survivor.

Seriously, learn to spell the contestants' names.

Me? See, I am the Bvtch who would park right behind it, blocking it in and head in the house. If you make it inconvenient for me to access my property, I will make it inconvenient for you to leave. But then, my driveway is narrow.

I'll limit myself to one quote from one review:

Well, what's to say about this "show"? it is the WORST thing ever created in mankind! Why the hell would anyone make such a god-awful show about a horrible character with an extremely painful and torturing voice that seriously make my ears bleed. What kind of sick human being would show this to pre-schoolers? Barney is the worst character ever created! I hate everything about him, his voice, his appearance, everything! and I hate all the other characters too!

I'm sorry, but THAT made me chuckle.

My kids didn't like Barney, at any age.

flan

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

That is just silly. Barney's voice was soothing, and the kids LOVE him.

Barney taught manners, how to use your imagination, how to deal with feelings - and he sang catchy songs.

Not as well. And they didn't inspire as much love as Barney did. There are other shows NOW, but Barney was easily the most popular for years. So much so, he still endures today.

I should have just drove it into my garage!! lol

But, seriously, it seemed odd. And, I knew that i had left my front door unlocked so when i pulled into my driveway and saw that I wasn't sure. I didn't see anyone. I didn't have my gun with me so i figured i would not investigate it myself. Anyway, i just called the local police and when he got up on the tractor there was a note there that it had been dropped off. To the wrong house of course, lol. But, still I guess nowadays, you don't know. I wasn't sure who it belonged too and didn't know if some man was with it.

But, maybe that was a sign that there here is the random vehicle that i might need to know how to work a stick shift!

He's harmless, sweet and thoughtful. I do NOT understand the hate.

Now, hate I do understand is DORA. Good heavens, that show is terrible. Every time she sings "Backpack, backpack", I want to scream. And when she screams "vamonos!" six thousand times, I want to shoot the TV.

My cousins watched Barney. Irritated me back then. Don't much mind it now. Honestly, I'd probably like it now.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

My niece loved The Wiggles when she was little. They were pretty tolerable.

My nephew LOVED the Wiggles. He was so happy when DD12 started to like them, b/c he was "too old", but it was ok to watch with a younger cousin if that's what she wanted to watch.

DS vomited last night. Not sure what made him vomit. He seems fine this morning. Quieter than usual. The vomiting must've scared him. He was bawling and shaking. Today is Kids Club but I called it off just in case he has a bug of some sort. Don't want him infecting other kids.
Hope the little guy gets better fast.

He seems all better. Not much of an appetite but I figure that's par for the course. He crawled up onto my chest when I stretched out on the couch and took a nap.

As far as kid shows go, DS likes Thomas, Sesame Street, Curious George, and Daniel Tiger. He loves TBBT.

He's starting to laugh at parts that are funny. I turned on Hannah Montana yesterday and he was laughing at all the appropriate scenes.

He likes a lot of the kid movies. Home was a hit. So was Cloudy 2. Despicable Me and Megamind were also enjoyed.

I will admit that I've never seen Dora.

It's Barney's voice that is annoying. It's hard getting past that.
