Frankly, if you are driving your children around in a car that

[Midlodemocrat]

doesn't have Sirius Satellite Radio, you are neglectful and CPS should get involved.

Oh, and a sunroof.

Yep.

:hide:

[kentauros]

1. So much for supporting public radio

like Pacifica. Where again does Sirius-XM have Democracy Now airing? ;)

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Who cares? I listen to Hair Nation.

:rofl:

[kentauros]

3. I have Dish Network, and gave Sirius a chance when it came out.

Pointless.

Their "CD" music channels have better music and no fake dj interruptions :)

[Midlodemocrat]

5. In the car? Never heard of that.

[kentauros]

6. No, in a caravan.

i.e., "RV" :P

[TommyO]

25. 1st Wave and Howard Stern here

:hide:

[CreekDog]

8. she don't listen to that crap, she listens to this crap:

[kentauros]

10. Yeah, that is crap.

Here's the kind of vehicle to use for true Satellite Radio, though:

4. You feed your children processed food...

Don't you, freeper?



:hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

11. No. I don't feed them at all. Cheaper that way.

And, I dare any of you to keep processed food out of BoyM's mouth. If Ramen Noodles and Cup O'Noodles weren't so cheap, I'd be living in said van.

[madinmaryland]

7. Freeper, elitist!! Don't you know that is what the

can of beer and cigarettes are for??

:hide:

[CreekDog]

9. Don't make fun of Midlo's van. It's VERY practical!

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Why, yes. Yes, it is.

Especially for Costco runs!!!

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

[BeachBaby]

13. Hey - I had an evangelical tell me.....

that allowing my two sons to listen to "secular music" is child abuse. I am apparently leading them to the gates of Hell.

I'm wondering why DYFS hasn't picked up my kids yet.

[TZ]

19. Heh. I know your kids are listening to DEVIL MUSIC!

Heck they even sing it! You are doomed..all of you! :rofl:
Edit to add: maybe next time I'm up there I can give your kids dance lessons..then they really will be ready to go straight to hell!

[rolltideroll]

23. Tell him that cloistering yourself from society

and constructing your own version of reality where magic predominates is a much worse form of abuse. Then give him a copy of Handmaidens tale.

[Deep13]

14. When I was small we did not have air conditioning in cars.

Besides, my parents weren't going to drive me anywhere anyway.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. Remember the first car they bought that had it?

LOL. I do. It was a great day. :rofl:

[Lost in CT]

24. Air conditioning? try seat belts... I went from CT to Cape Canaveral

in the back window of a Charger.

[Deep13]

26. Had them. Never used them. nt

[LynneSin]

15. Yes but CPS might be interested to know why the kids are ducttaped to their seats

:shrug:

[Midlodemocrat]

18. The roof, not the seats. I don't want to ruin the upholstery.

[LynneSin]

28. well maybe if you potty-trained those damn kids. You make Octomom look like a Mom-of-the-Year

:hide:

[malta blue]

16. please don't report me Midlo....

:hide:

I don't have satellite radio, nor a sunroof.

I make my kid listen to NPR. :P

[vard28]

20. We don't have cable or dish in our home

The kids at school look horrified when I tell them that. Most say, "OMG! What do you DO at your house?" :rofl:

I do have to admit that I have satellite radio in my vehicle, and I'd skip meals (for me, not the kid) in order to keep it.

[Midlodemocrat]

21. We have cable.

But, in my defense, I need cable for the computer for work. Plus, if you don't have it here, no reception at all which means no Chris Meloni naked butt possibilities.

[vard28]

22. We had dish years ago

When they only had the giant WV state flower kind of dishes available. It got damaged by the husband with a tractor when he was pushing down a dead tree and it never got fixed. Subscription ran out and I never renewed it. We only had it on one TV and he and jr would always fight over what channel to watch, so I told 'em it was insane to spend the extra money on that crap that we aren't home to watch most of the time anyway. I get all the cool shows jr. likes on dvd from netflix and all is right with the world. We have a nice flat screen HD tv in the living room and are ready for the conversion when it comes. I won the battle. :rofl:

Plus, this way I will NEVER again have to watch the last 12 minutes of any movie, which is what my husband did when we had dish. :banghead:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

27. Uncharacteristic asshattery by Midlo?

Say it isn't so!

To think I took her side during the great Mildo-Tater war!

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Uncharacteristic? Where the Hell have you been?

[DS1]

29. If you haven't built your womb-nugget a series of heated interconnecting tunnels

to school and all his friends' houses, you're a useless meatsack as a parent.

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Womb-nugget.

:rofl:

Dude, you make me feel all tingly with your words of compassion and nurturing.

:rofl:

[SOteric]

35. He is a silver-tongued devil, ain't he?

[redqueen]

30. What about the dual screens...

mounted on the back of each front-seat headrest?

Do I have to get those to be a good mom?

Cell phones too?

[Midlodemocrat]

31. Cell phones, iPods, you know the whole shebang.

[AlCzervik]

34. i don't have any of that but i think the daily beatings i give her make up for it.

[OmahaBlueDog]

36. Arrest Me

I drove my 11yo daughter to the NCAA tourney in KC. We listened to XM, but only briefly listened to America Left. Mostly, we listened to sports. I am a bad and wicked parent.

She and I ate popcorn. Then we went out to Jack Stack Barbeque. She ordered a prime rib sandwich and a side of steamed asparagus. When I pointed out to her that there were DUers who thought I should be arrested for feeding her sush fare, she reminded me that none of it was processed food.

Later, I bought her a York pepermint pattie at a truck stop.

Perhaps DU should just hire someone to kill me -- for the good of my entire family.


..and there was no sunroof!

[kwassa]

37. get serious, Sirius! I've got XM radio and a sunroof and a DVD player!

who needs Sirius when you have XM?
