From: Art Thieme At the insistence of our son, Chris, and his wife, Kat,our grandson, Byron Thieme, who has his first birthday on June 29th, was out all day today trying to find a job. He just got back home for dinner, and you can be certain that, given the state of our economy now, he wasn't hired! It seems to get the job an applicant must have two years experience. I blame this on Bush! Art |

23 Jun 09 - 06:45 PM (#2663122) Subject: RE: BS: 1-year old cannot find a job!! From: Bee-dubya-ell From June, 2008 until the present, Mr. Thieme has been self-employed, working as a baby. During that time, he has mastered the skills of shaking rattles, chewing teething rings, spitting up, and making poo-poo. He has recently begun learning to communicate using spoken words and is able to walk six steps without falling down. Mr. Thieme feels that these skills qualify him for employment in most governmental agencies, or as moderator of an Internet discussion forum. |

I do miss having them around, but they are in good hands. Byron is a wondrous little guy who seems to double his size every time we see him. What a joy he and Siera and Chloe are! Art |

I take the latter to school each day and collect him from thee... we spend quality time and he presents me with an invisible jar of "Grandsons Love" to have with my dinner each night. Will be taking him.. on his own to a local Airshow early July and know as always it will be a special time. Best wishes all. |

Put all the profits in Mom's account so when you get caught she can keep it and you can prove that as a minor you're not guilty. |

24 Jun 09 - 09:01 AM (#2663419) Subject: RE: BS: 1-year old cannot find a job!! From: Elijah Browning Here's the kicker - Byron is working! He's been a trooper with Momma Kat in this 95 degree heat as she walks her dogs, her own business. Daycare is a bit steep in this economy. We're doing alright though. Her business is expanding and she's hired a helper. Byron is already plucking on the old banjo. He gets a big smile when he gets to play it. Our five-year-old, Siera's main goal is to see how loud it can get before Dad says "be careful or you'll break a string." Chloe and Siera have already got a pretty good Scruggs Roll. Better than Dad's but that ain't saying much. Byron considered a career in politics but prefers dog walking. Working with dogs or working with lobbyists, hmmm, hard decision. Also, the messes smell better and are easier to clean up, and unlike politicians, he hopes one day to be capable of wiping himself. Love from the Thieme family, part 2. |

This "child" is a drag on American society, a parasite just looking for a bottle and a handout. Put 'em to work, I say! Or ship 'em back where they came from! |
