[Beware of Cuccos*]

Well this is a weird coincidence. I just got a phone call from a guy who heard from someone I know that I'd like to get a new guinea pig. He's got two brothers and two sisters he'd like to get rid of since he didn't know his daughter's piggy was pregnant (Poor momma! That was a big litter!). I'll be seeing them tomorrow since he lives right town!

Have you called CPS?

(I would be lying if I said I didn't miss the "Sup kitty" sig :( )

Someone beat me to it and I don't know whatever became of it because they moved. I honestly have the shivers now because I don't like thinking about that family; they did so many things I didn't like. Granted this is a debatable topic, but I don't believe in homeschooling, which is what those kids were. I don't trust parents to adequately teach their kids plus they don't get the social interaction they do at a school. It's so important to learn how to deal with the different types of personalities out there, and the fact that you have to learn to get along with them, no matter how much you wish they'd get hit by a truck.

Whenever I spoke with the kids they just seemed so far behind and I really fear for their future.

I liked the kitty sig, as well but I really wanted the whole thing, and I guess I need to special program to re-size a gif? It kept going screwy.

I just wish I could've found a smaller version of this one; I nearly died:

There's so many loopholes in the child protective system it's almost not worth it, but it's the most any of us can do.

And I totally agree on homeschooling. I believe it's really bad for kids. I feel the same way about religious schools. Parents/religious schools only teach what they want to, not what they need to. (Like brainwashing or cults or both) But you definitely don't want to get me started on a religion rant.
