funny B... but I was posting as you wrote your story... thank you!

LOL - great minds think alike - we posted at the same time.

B... I have to tell you that aside from being called a good dad... the way that you view me (a willingness to get involved) is perhaps the best compliment I could receive.... I'm most definitely not a sideline sitter. Thank you again.

Ivory soap

That was my guess but the Ivory history site said 44/100 when I looked it up...?

Didn't a famous porn star get her start as an Ivory girl? Can't think of her name.

Ivory is 44/100... so there must be some other obscure reference

i was thinking ivory soap too...but when i googled it it came out 99.44% pure.....what is it, noodle?

Noodle is bad at math

Marilyn Chambers... Ivory put in morality clauses after that!!!

cool story medc....I can SO see you doing that too! I haven't chased down any theives LOL....but I've definitely gotten involved....and it's been pretty scary sometimes because I'm not that big.

Thanks... I think getting involved can take on many forms... even in my story... if people had just said something I would have considered that getting involved. Not everyone is trained (and btw... if you are ever interested there are things you can do to make your size almost a non issue... Krav Maga is a wonderful dicipline and for the lay person... (as well as the professional albeit on a different level) can be learned very quickly to make most threats very managable) but we all have a voice. I would not advocate everyone jumping in physically... and it seems you are aware of that. But being involved is important. Thanks again for your kind words.

Krav Maga huh? Sounds interesting!! In my case....I think a few times my size actually encouraged other people to get involved. I looked so stupid....they figured they were probably going to have rescue me too. People must think you don't look like you need any help! haha

I remember a time in a grocery store...there was a woman shopping with a baby in the basket. The baby looked to be about 12 to 18 months....little. And the woman was very large and powerfully built. From time to time the baby would reach out for something in the cart or on the shelf and this woman would smack her in the face and head and yank away her little arm away or wrench something from her hand. I know a whole lot of people were just squirming and even looking around at each other. I wasn't the only one who was looking on horrified as she hit this baby really hard accross the ear. When the baby let out a howl....she raised her hand to hit her again....and I grabbed her hand in the air and said "Lady, if you want to hit that baby again, you're going to have to hit me first." She looked at me like she had no problem with that and like she could eat my lunch....but the butcher jumped right over the counter and said "and you're gonna have to hit me too". Then a couple of other patrons decided to stand in close and glare. She tried to leave, but the manager ended up locking the store until the authorities came.

noodle is *so* bad at math.

Yes it was ivory.

Don't you think it's more fun to try and figure things out with all the wrong information?

Me 'neither.

Thus exposure [and with a sweeping bow she hauls out the big shovel and brings her screw up right on topic with a pointed illustration Ta Da!]

You did a very wonderful thing for that child. Bravo!

gosh, quoted in pep's sig.. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

The only star that I know as an Ivory baby is Brooke Shields.

That was the coppertone girl.

I forget her name.
