Normally, I am able to gloss over stories on the drama of the human condition. But sometimes, I just don't it. How do people like this even exist? Much less have eight frickin kids!

:mad: WTF?!? :mad:

I can tell you how she came by the 8 frickin' kids...

Worse yet at the bottom of that page I saw something about the trial of a woman who microwaved her baby!!

What is the world coming to!

1. The oldest was 16. If they'd gone to parts of Africa she'd be looked up to as a matriarch. So it was good prep.

2. Sometimes you need a baby dry RIGHT NOW.

Both stories seem perfectly reasonable to me.

Alex, Alex, Alex. What can I say to that, other than you never cease to amaze me with the stuff you come up with!

That Nigerian prince DID promise her his fortune...

Geez, I only had three kids and I could barely go to the bathroom....down the hall.....

What's amazing is that the microwaved baby is the "lesser" story:eek:I don't think it is a "lesser" story. I saw the first story and linked to it. cirquelover then noticed a link the microwaved baby story as a "related" story at the bottom of web page with the original story.

Just semantics I guess.

Yeah, I guess you're right.....I keep forgetting that the internet doesn't work the same way as a newspaper.
