Title: Good News, Bad News Post by: Stogie Vol on August 13, 2012, 09:31:17 EDT Good News:
My 10 year old daughter has been wanting to enter a pageant for quite some time. We finally relented and let her enter the Jefferson County Fair Beauty Pagent. She was Third Runner-Up and got a trophy in the Pre-teen Miss category. She was thrilled. Bad News: At same fair, they had one of those $#!++% games where you could win a live animal (a rabbit in this case). As I was out of town this weekend (Golfing in Lake Lure, NC (bonus good news!)), my wife took my daughter back to the fair and let her play that game and, of course, she won a rabbit. It died last night. My little girl has been sobbing all day. I wish they would ban giving away live animals like that; they are always sickly and not well-cared for. Title: Re: Good News, Bad News Post by: VinnieVOL on August 13, 2012, 09:34:58 EDT I remember winning a goldfish at the fair when I was a kid... It came a torrential downpour and we all ran to the car. When I got in the car, all that was in the clear baggie was water.
Congrats again to your daughter, well deserved. :clap: Title: Re: Good News, Bad News Post by: 10EC on August 13, 2012, 10:02:43 EDT Good News: My 10 year old daughter has been wanting to enter a pageant for quite some time.

Was its bloody limb in your monster dog's mouth? Just a thought. Title: Re: Good News, Bad News Post by: Volznut on August 14, 2012, 12:59:39 EDT Maybe...if I knew what it died of. That sucks man. Hope your daughter feels better soon. Title: Re: Good News, Bad News Post by: Stogie Vol on August 14, 2012, 01:05:50 EDT Vinne: smh
Nut: Thanks...she's doing better as long as there is no mention of Bonny the Bunny. Title: Re: Good News, Bad News Post by: Quasi EVol on August 14, 2012, 01:16:15 EDT Buy her a tortoise. It'll outlive her grandchildren.
