And by the way, this has nothing to do with a duck! lol

Jim Schu, u probably need some education, with all that garbage you talking. your starting to make this a little personal.

Catmom – lol. You are far too kind. This is undeserved on my part. However, I do appreciate the sentiment and I am fortunate to consider you as a friend. 8^)

Yes momasan, he's a "duck" and not a very intelligent one at that. Actually a real duck has more smarts! Great post! Have a nice evening.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...IT"S A DUCK! Everything Chris Henry has done was by his own choices, no one forced him to behave like an ignorant, spoiled, THUG! How many of us wouldn't love to be making even a 1/4 of what he makes, and have only to work at something we love ? Most of us don't have that luxury, and we work where we can make decent money, have some benefits (if we are really lucky), and many of us do not particularly love our jobs. I personally think Chris Henry has some emotional problems...He seems to be thinking he is something special, has the idea he is so good, but then again maybe he has the "Little Man" complex working there. As I've been reading the comments here, and in the paper and hearing on the newscasts, I am LOL that Chris actually tried to claim mistaken identity, PLEASE... there are only three people that are that unmistakenly identifiable, yet all look pretty similar, Chris Henry, The CAT LADY (the plastic surgery catastrophe from NYC) and Michael Jackson. It looks as if Chris will never get the concept that crime sure doesn't pay what the Bengals did!!! Probably no one else will pay either !!

Jim, you know why I really enjoy communicating with you? It is because of your huge, intelligent vocabulary and that you make me think! And yes, at times, look up the definitions from words in your posts! My husband does the same thing! I, via email, subscribed to "Word of the Day" just to try to stump him while we were courting:) And I "broadened" my horizons and vocabulary because of it! Never to old to learn, even if I do let my brain get ahead of my fingers that cause typos! I am just thankful The Lord allowed my brain to stay intact after my stroke in 2003. It is really ashame that Chris Henry didn't learn anything in college. I believe I heard somewhere on the internet that he had "criminal problems" while attending college, but don't quote me on that because I am not 100% sure of its accuracy! We hear nothing but stories of loser criminals in the news daily and sometimes they all start sounding the same - dumb and stupid. In Chris' case/argument, I'd like to add "ignorant" and "lack of ANY common sense". I see yard work ahead for tomorrow after Church. I know the kids and I are tired of the Winter and the rainy Spring season we've had thus far! Have a great weekend, what is left of it. I'll take this weather and temps any day of the week! God Bless.

Catmom – Well said (2:10 post). Weather is nice, too nice to lament about Chris any longer. Time for me to follow your lead and get some quality outdoor time. Tomorrow promises to be nicer! The wife already has her backyard ‘chore’ list for me. I think she spent all winter writing it! lol. I hope your husband gets a chance to enjoy this weather this weekend on the deck he built for you. Won’t be long until I’m complaining about the heat and praying for Fall to hurry up. lol. God Bless.

Jim, my husband built our huge deck and built it enclosed underneath lattice so the kids could go up and down the stairs. Trust me, I know exactly what they are doing! It is easier for me to just clean the aquarium myself. I am not working and my husband is a welder/fabricater, so I really don't mind. The aquarium was my idea! I also look for posts from you and read them all, you fasinate me. That is why I wasn't surprised that your's about our tragic loss here in Colerain Twp. was on Local 12 news. And I am getting older, I hate to admit and yes, I am all the wiser for it! FiteNS, I don't know why he/she has turned Chris Henry into a man to be given a 6th chance at the "big apple". Really, he isn't worthy of it! Have a great afternoon! God Bless.

Jim, what heroes we have from the great City and Tri-State Communities. Like you said, Matt Maulpin is finally coming home and now his parents will hopefully have some peace knowing he is not a POW and being tortured. Then we have Travis Griffin from Springboro. Fourth Tour of Duty, what a man and he too is coming home to rest in peace. Then we have the tragedy of yesterday, my Colerain Twp. firefighters, Captain Robin Broxterman and Firefighter Brian Schira. We live in Colerain Twp. and although they were not friends of ours, we still grieve for them and their families, friends and co-workers. I love living in Colerain Twp. Our Police and Fire Departments are the best in the City. These are ALL HEREOS that are forever etched in stone for the men and women who gave it all. THEIR CHARACTERS ARE NOT SHADOWED BY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY THREW AWAY, yet doing their job and risking their lives, with what they are paid so little for. Hopefully, we have heard the LAST of Chris Henry. A man that could have gone places and seemed to have great potential. Now, he is just another criminal.

Hello Catmom – You certainly have been on a roll the past couple of days. And aren’t you busy today. lol. FiteNS is a HUGE waste of time. (58 posts!) He needs to reimburse ma and pa for his ‘wasted’ education! Hey, you need to be outside watching your kids! The birds are out enjoying this weather as well! Perhaps you should have waited for hubby to get home to help you with that big fish tank of yours. Sounds like a lot of work. I have enjoyed your posts (here and other threads) and make it a point to see what I’ve missed each time I get on. Certainly a lot of bad stories lately (what’s new?). Keep fighting the good fight! With age comes wisdom!
