My youngest daughter has managed to outgrow most of her clothes. And some how the phase difference between the youngest and oldest daughter was just enough to ensure that the youngest would not be able to wear ANY of those adorable seasonal clothes the oldest only wore once :-( I just helped her clean out her closet, and we bundled them all in to a big black bag.

My mother used to send the girls the cutest clothes at this time of year. I hope someone at the Salvation Army will enjoy them.

It's sad when the little birds start to grow so very big. Mr. Ionesco and I were walking in Coscto, and we saw this amazingly cute Incredibles doll- and we realized all our kids are too old for such things.

"The point is that you wrote a post insisting that I wasn't very well educated..."

Taste of your own medicine.

"because my comment about George Bush's oedipal complex indicated I didn't know what the meaning was."

You don't.

"You are obviously wrong about that, and I proved it."

No, I'm not and you didn't.

First of all, your statement about "Bushie's oedipal stuff with his daddy", as you put it, demonstrates your lack of understanding of the term. An "oedipal complex" is something a male might have regarding his mother, not his father. Oedipus killed his father - accidentally - and married his mother - unwittingly.

Second, being able to get a bunch of websites to hit in a Google search on a pair of words doesn't "prove" anything except in the bizarro world of conspiracy nuts or to the truly ignorant.

As for your IQ, I don't believe I've written a single word about it. Besides, the fact that you often use words you don't understand, and then insist you've proven something you haven't, doesn't necessarily tell us anything about your IQ.

Lastly, when you stop insisting on the stupidity of anyone who disagrees with you, then you will be in a position to object, without being hypocritical, to others questioning your knowledge.
