Next year pass me over
the video below
Passover was fine, we had some good moments. We were talking about girls and Matts injury due to a cute girl, which led to my seven year old nephew Jeff announcing he " does not like to be kicked in the weiner". Uncle N said " eventually a girl will end up kicking you in the weiner, physically or metaphorically." Uncle N and my dad Papa sure liked that joke, they laughed for like 20 min, slapping each other on the back and such.
Other amusements were the kids new toy, yes, I know what it looks like, which is why my sister would not allow me to post the kids playing with it.
The little mouse, or whatever that is, comes separately. The " snake" pops out of the can. My life sure is attracting a lot of " weiner" talk, I'll have to analyze that another time.I also asked this question, and I will ask you all too. If you could clone yourself as a baby, would you have the same parents or type of parents raise you? Matt, who has an experimental mind gave several answers, first he said he would put his clone with an abusive poor family, I said that was sick, then he said he would give it to his friends parents because the kid turned out to be a druggy, he wanted to see if clone Matt turned out to be a druggy too, then he said he would raise his clone himself, which I think would be weird. Jennie said she would have her best friends mom raise her Mrs. E, I got jealous, because mrs. E is a really good mom, and clone Jennie would probably turn out less neurotic than real Jennie, but she said " Mom you got a chance to raise me, I think it would be cool to see how Mrs. E does it".
I just know I would not raise little Laura, she was a hard kid. I haven't decided what type of parents clone laura should have. But it would be a cool nature vs. nurture experiment.
So who would you have raise your clone self? Multiple answers are allowed.
While your thinking, check out my Sanjaya video. Sanjaya, Sanjaya, come on let's all sing

Okay, forgive my sickness here, but what the heck IS that toy - "My First Vibe"? LOL I saw the pic before I read the post, and, well, that's what it looks like! I know, my bad! :moon12:
Glad Passover was fine. It must have been fun hearing the old fellas having such a good time.
Oh, my goodness, no I would never give my clone to my parents! LOL! :lol29: I would be the child of Mike and Carol Brady, who loved all six of their children, and didn't discriminate between the ones they gave birth to and the ones they got with the marriage. Yeah, right! :lol29:
Hope you're having a good week!
Kathi
LOL, classic video.
I'm with Kathi, that does look like an "adult toy". :muhahaha14: Love the video. I saw some others on YouTube making fun of Mowgli. I liked "House of Sanjaya" a salon where guys could make their hair "sing like their voices never could" :lol29:
If I could clone myself I think I would want my clone self to be raised by Bill Cosby. He always seemed like he would be the coolest dad.
If I could clone me as a baby I'd want to raise myself. I know all the things I needed and didn't get, or the things I got too much of, and I think my mother is a better grandma - not that she was a bad mom. *digging myself deeper in this hole* I hope my mother doesn't see my comment.
If I could clone myself as a baby I'd want the clone to be raised by a couple similar to my friend Elen's parents. They were a stable force in my life as a teenager.
Well, I was raised by neglectful/abusive parents. I turned out fairly well (thank God!) BECAUSE of the challenges. It's horrible to imagine wishing that upbringing up on my clone self, but in reality, I can't change it, I can only learn from it. [shrug] If I had a clone, I would be curious what growing up in a healthy environment would be like. Would I be a total diva/bitch, spoiled to no end? Would I be a powerful business woman with major connections? Would I have gone the famous singer route? There are lots more questions I have about that. It would be interesting to see what a charmed life would've given to me. For sure. But, I'd have to say, I'm blessed that MY wildest dreams didn't come true, they were exceeded by the unexpected joys and tragedies that caused me to be who I am now.
I wouldn't want to inflict a cloned me upon the world!
If I had to, though, I would probably hand her over to my mom. Do the prospective parents get to keep all the knowledge they've earned in the years since I was born? If so, then yeah, I'd definitely give her to my mom to raise.
I'm not sure who I'd send my clone to. Maybe I should take applications for this. Naturally, the first interraction with a baby is breast feeding. So, step number one will be to submit pictures of breasts so we can weed out those who would starve the baby. :rofl17:
Wow, I'd either give the cloned me to my oldest sister or to Robin Williams. :cheer10:
You should have proposed a toast to the metaphorical kick in the weiner.
I think I'd pick my aunt and uncle to raise me. I practically lived at their house when I was a kid and they were really cool.
I definitely would NOT have my parents raise me again. I'm lucky I turned out semi-ok, but that is only because I've been through YEARS of therapy to get past it. I don't know who'd I'd want as parents for my clone. Every family is dysfunctional in some way, so I'd have to think long and hard on it.
Raising yourself would be interesting :zanygrin16:
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt...I mean hell once she adopts a kid from every other country maybe she'll consider adopting a clone from the US. You get to travel and get tattoos .
That's cool right?:question27:
My mother would love this, as long as she didn't have to raise my clone. Apparently I was a pain in the a$$ and thus deserved every bit of grief Male JR chose to give me. Hubby and I have often what iffed, since we both had very non involved, uninterested, almost neglectful parents, and wondered what would have happened and what successes we might have turned out to be had someone encouraged us since after all where do you suppose my successful children inherited their talents and brains. But since life has turned out pretty ok I don't wonder in a depressing way. If someone had sat at all my sports events and congratulated me on the report cards and made me believe I was smart and helped me figure out how to pay for college, hubby and I would probably not be together and then we wouldn't have Priss or JR (who turned out more than ok after all). PS RYC the other day I don't post unprotected I've really found its too small of a world and I would hate to embarass the people in my real life but if you have someone who wants in, a friend of a friend is always allowed access.
I know for sure that I was a good kid, compared to how mine have been raising
RYC: I think that is a great idea. I'd like this to be as far reaching as possible. I know there were a lot of Xangans nominated whom I have never even visited before, so I know there is more out there than what I can gather alone. Let's run with it and see what can be done! I'm not feeling better, but I'm not dead yet, so there is still hope.
Ryc: I had the same trouble. YouTube has 2 codes, copy the 'embed' code...when you have your xanga page up where you enter text, click the 'edit html' in the upper right hand corner...then paste the code into the text box and submit. Let me know if it works for you, or if you have any other questions.
I would wait to clone myself until my daughter is old enough to take care of a "baby me" and see how she would raise me.
Hmm
I think I would keep my parents
Except have them be filthy rich
and willing to spend whatever money it takes to make me happy
: )
I think I'd let my parents raise my clone again, they did a pretty good job the first time... Even though now that their older I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want the job.
hell my real self grew up with abusive alcoholic parents and we didn't have a whole lot of money after a while. do not let those kinds of people raise your clone. love your clone. i'm putting mine with a well to do sweet couple who love eachother to bits and are all about family, love and G-d. I'm putting myself with the brady bunch!!!
That video was awesome!!!
Oh dear... I was wondering what he would wear tonight??? Now I have an idea :muhahaha14: :muhahaha14: :muhahaha14: :muhahaha14: :cry24: Please go away Sanjaya!
Have fun watching AI... I am waiting for Skooter before I start.
Hugs, Tricia :zanykiss8: :zanykiss8: :zanykiss8:
:muhahaha14:that toy is just so.....so phallic! lol:lol29:
When I was a kid I thought that aliens had taken over my real parents bodies and that they just weren't good at being human. Yeah it was bad and I wouldn't even wish it on a clone .:cry24: Life is better now than then.:question27:
LOL @ the toy...I too saw it before I read about it and thought - well - I thought LOL. I don't know who I would give my clone too but if I could clone my oldest I think I would give her to my parents to see if they are laughing when she acts the way she does with them! My luck she'd be just fine and they'd still be laughing. Sanjaya video was too funny :rofl17: He sucked tonight too. Actually he was a bit scary looking.
I don't think I'd rock the boat. It isnt nice to second guess God. I'm just too afraid. I would come back (sigh) and be raised by my wicked mother and emotionless father, only to watch my father grow into the ultimate dad and grandfather when he divorced the wicked mother. Who is new and improved evil. Yeah, that.
First I'd clone my grandma so that she could raise clone me. She was a great lady :rollinpin11:
No comment on the uh........toy.
-Isaac
LOL....wow...nice toy. Its amazing that the toy manufacturers werent bothered by the obvious here... And my clone...raised just by my Mom with no Dad.
Hey there!! Just got around, read the conversations with the boy and with jennie, and the Kweens thing.... and htis one... whew, you've been busy. So have I!!!
So... to this one... a little cloned me, where would I want them raised?.... I would give her to my friends parents down in Texas. They had 4 kids, homeschooled them, and they are ALL the coolest people. All very motivated, all successful, all super smart, well rounded... I think I had that potential and then my life happened. My next choice might be me.... It might be sort of weird, but I think I do a good job with Jr, so it would be interesting to see what Idid with myself... could I somehow encourage my 13 year old me to surf the net checking out for sure which college she prefers???
I can't blame the germans for inventing the sausage, because the Japanese used to carry the phallic symbol around too. What is more demoralizing, the fun your male family was having or the artificially enhanced bimbos like Nicole Smith. At least men can be kicked down a notch, those enhanced bimbos seem to lead a parade and only die from accidental overdoses.
I don't think you want to see a clone of Matt raised by Matt. Hindsight is hard to beat. Same goes with Jenn. I don't think you would enjoy raising either Matt or Jen it is more fun spoiling your grandchildren....
RYC: But it would be nice to see myself rich.
To see if my work ethic would be different etc.
what a naughty little toy. . . lol
Have a great day!
~Cookie~
I would put myself in the same family. I was so blessed with a creative and funky mom who I lurve.
I think if I had a clone of myself, I'd put her to work so I could basically double my income. But I refuse to share my husband with the other me, nope, won't happen.
LOL -- OMG that Sanjaya video was hysterical, that guy really had his mannerisms and voice inflections down....
I think I would give my clone to my kids to raise, just so they realize I am actually a good mom and how hard their life really could be, with a kid like me. They'd actually be fine until I hit my teens, then Katy bar the door!
I'd pick someone famous, so I'd be famous by default.
Is that some sort of Stitch toy? Does look a little questionable!
I want one of those toys!!!!
I would want one of those rich Hollywood couples to raise a clone of me. Just watching those shows where they show all the expensive stuff those kids get .. yeah, I want that!
RYC: Hey .. I can be uplifting at times ... I can post seriously stuff from time to time that isn't sex related!! But let's face it, sex is just more fun to talk about!! Yeah ... you do crack yourself up at times. I can only imagine what you were thinking!!!
interesting question... not sure i have an answer! thanks for the support and encouragement. i appreciate it. it's been a rough two weeks on the ego!
I can't think of anyone I knew growing up who I would want to raise clone me...so I'd have to do it myself. I'd buy me that Barbie wedding dress that was too expensive...and other stuff I was deprived of.
Great video. LMAO.
It's hard to answer the clone question because I just can't imaginea cloned me as me now without the parents I had. Does that make sense? I would not raise cloned Son#1. He was a pain in the ass.
