Obviously "Sick Ram and the Ancient Bioweapons" WBAGNFARB. (Actually Sam the Sham may have used that at one time.)

[SW]

Their first hit was Ram-A-Lamb-A-Bang-Bang.

[Igloo]

Sick Rams. Isn't the the name of the Pro Football team in St. Louis?

[pogo]

I wish I hadn't said "Sam the Sham". Now I've got this earwig.

Uno, dos, one, two, tres, quatro
Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw.
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw.
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Hatty told Matty, "Let's don't take no chance.
Let's not be L-seven, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.
Matty told Hatty, "That's the thing to do.
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully.
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully.

"Bring out the secret weapon!"

[Eleanor]

Ooh, igloo, I hope sly doesn't see what you wrote. You'll make her cry. And Bob Costas too.

[Jazzzz]

SW ....the first Hittite

[DeskDiva]

*snork* @ Hammie!!

[Igloo]

Scorpion Bombs would also be a great WBAGNFARB.
*Igloo humbly apologizes to Sly for the slight.*

[DeskDiva]

Hiya, Jazzzz! How's it hangin' today?

[Jazzzz]

Hey DD!! All good...you?

[CJrun]

Thus was born the phrase, "Ramming speed!"

[DeskDiva]

Feeling better today, so - good. :)

[Just Ducky]

This is classic geram warfare.

[Mike Antonucci]

If your rock band were named Sick Ram and the Ancient Bioweapons, would you have to release an album entitled "Greatest Hittites"?

[Siouxie]

Yes. CJ is a sick individual. THAT is why we love him so!

[Siouxie]

"The country that finds them shall take over this evil pestilence," the tablet said.

Are the squirrels hiding? or maybe Twitney & Paris?? or maybe Barry and his Manilow?

[DeskDiva]

LOL/groan, Mike.

[daisymae]

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Sam, Sham, Ram & Spam

[slyeyes]

*sniff*

MY RAMS!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sadly, El, igloo has it correct at this sad point in time.

But at least we have MIZZOU---RAH!!

GO TIGERS!!

*exits to see if Bobby Costas needs some cheering up*

[Siouxie]

I thought their names were..Wang Bang ThankYou Ma'am...

*needs to brush up on her Apocalypse*

[slyeyes]

Careful, Siouxie. It can be tricky brushing up against the Apocalypse.

[Meditrina]

I thought it was US that invented gifting pestilence to our enemies friends.

Chocolate Milk anyone?

[Siouxie]

sly, I've got protection. My trusty machete ;-)

oh and Bruce Willis.

[Meditrina]

Come on, Sioux. You know it's my night with Bruce. You can have Mel or Russell.

[Meditrina]

Dam, OJ pleads innocent and Rodney K!ng is shot in LA.

Am I having flashbacks or is history repeating itself?

[GOD]

ACTUALLY, I AM THE ONE WHO FIRST GAVE PESTILENCE TO MY ENEMIES.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Med - thanks for the newsflash. Guess I won't take the freeway home tonight.

[Cheri]

Hi gang.

I love you all.

I won't be blogging anymore.

I have no joy in my life.

I can't be funny again.

Please fill the void.

[Siouxie]

(((((((((((((((Cheri))))))))))))) Have faith. I love you, my friend.

[DeskDiva]

(((((((((Cheri)))))))))

I have prayed for you all day, and I will not stop.

All my love, Amy.

[gjd]

(((Cheri)))

You and your baby are in my prayers. I will not stop praying for you.

Laura

[Cheri]

Amy - Ask God why he would do this to me. What evil have I done that is so bad as to make me wish I were dead.

Let me know what you get.

[ellie]

Quote: Records indicate that rams mysteriously began populating the roads in Arzawa

Well, I'm guessing they "populate" just like the rest of us mammals. The boy ram and the girl ram...

Hi guys! Diva, I'm glad you are feeling better.

[foggiest notion]

Cheri, this is not a time to give up. I've been trying to email you but I guess I'm not savvy enough to get by my browser. Email me, please.
Tia (aka foggiest notion).

[Amy]

Cheri - I wish I had an answer for that, but it would be arrogant of me to even pretend to.

The only thing I can do is tell you why I trust.

The thing I hold to in times like these for myself is that I believe He is the One Who sees all things and I must trust that He orders them together for the good of all His people because He promises this. But that doesn't mean that I can see how it works, or that I am always comforted by that. I am often furious with God for the situations in which I find myself. I have screaming matches with Him from time to time.

But I do believe that he loves us all as His children - you, Cheri, most of all.

[Just Ducky]

(((Cheri)))

IMHO, pretty much all of the bad stuff that I've experienced throughout my life has happened because of people and institutions, not a deity.

I'm so sorry, Cheri. I really hope you can get things straightened out. Meanwhile, you and your family will be in my thoughts and, yes, prayers.

Linda

[DeskDiva]

I think maybe Ducky said it better.

[crossgirl]

{{cheri}}
i'm sorry honey. when i read your news i was just sick. I can't even begin to imagine how horrible this is for you and your husband.

now i don't feel comfortable commenting on how these might have been the answer to that bioweapons situation.

[Auntie M]

What is WRONG with some people?
((((((((((((Cheri))))))))))))))))

[blurk]

Cheri, I don't talk religion too much because, although I very much believe in God and the bible, I don't live the gospel everyday, or ever, really. But God must have a plan...maybe it's just as simple as seeing how much you really want this child (and we all know exactly how much that is). Who knows what The Man (now's not the time for The Woman comments) is thinking?
We will all be here for you.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Punkin' there's nothing I can say. but I'll attempt these:

I love you.
I'm outraged.
You are in my prayers constantly.

[Meditrina]

Punkin -

Know that your blog family is hurting with you and praying for you, in spades. May God and His wisdom prevail in the hearts of the folks who are genuinely trying to protect Sadie.

Know too, that the vindictive, hate-filled, judgmental, illiterate Ghost of Christmas past that stirred this hornets nest, will feel the wrath of God. The big 2X4 of bad Karma, of "forgive us as we forgive our trespassers", of the misery that hatred begets, will only lay the thorn-filled, firey path that leads to hell. Then comes the "real hell."

INTERFERING IN OTHER PEOPLE'S FAMILIES IS EVIL.... NO MATTER YOUR INTENTIONS, CONVICTIONS, OR SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.

I don't blame the human services officials. They are as much victims to the hate campaign as Sadie is. I feel pity on the fool who is so evil that they would take baby Sadie away from parents who want her, love her, nourish her, and protect her. Who are PROUD of her.

Keep your chin up, Punkin. Don't let the evil win... and take you away from your family. Have faith, girl. Right is Might.

[Siouxie]

I second what blurk said. And then some.

And what Wyo said.

Please note this is one of the few times you will see me agreeing with the males.

[Just Ducky]

*makes note on calendar*

Med, I gotta tell you, I love "the big 2X4 of Bad Karma." That is just outstanding.

[Siouxie]

And what Med said!

[Auntie M]

I second everyone. I've never understood why any moron can give birth to a child and no one questions it, but good people who try and become adoptive parents are questioned and harassed. Please investigate whatever recourse is available to you.

[Siouxie]

All I know is that whoever is responsible for this will have to deal with a higher power one day. And you all know I'm not a preachy person. I don't pretend to be Holier-than-thou. But I know evil and I know malice and I have FAITH that things will work out.

[Meditrina]

Ducky, to give credit where it's due....

My sister coined that phrase after my X's homewrecking gf broke up with him the same week he got fired.

I swear I didn't laugh. No, really. Really, I was more worried about my payments. ;-)

[Just Ducky]

Gosh, Med, not even a wee, hasty snicker? ;-)

[CJrun]

*pushes trebuchet loaded with sickly rams and donkeys into position to fire on bad kiddy-takers*

[Auntie M]

Don't forget the blankets laden with smallpox, CJ.

[Wyo Cowboy]

Ready, Aim, Fire for effect!!

[Siouxie]

Well folks, I am going to bed. Today has been a doozy of a day and I am angry. I am speechless and I am emotionally spent. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.

[Meditrina]

Okay, Ducky, maybe a belly laugh. Deep and resonating for effect. But only for effect. ;)

[DeskDiva]

Auntie M - you and Nurse Tammy would get along beautifully. She suggested a sledge hammer and meat grinder for the knees and sandpaper with which to apply capsaicin and nerve agents.

[mm]

We're sitting here in helpless angry agony right along with you Cheri. I couldn't say it any better that Med though. Someone has their comeuppance coming. Please know we're all behind you and with you, and will do anything we can to help.

[BLT]

Hey, guys - I haven't posted for a long, long time - no time, with 2 small ones & another on the way, but I read the blog whenever possible & just happened on this thread.

Cheri - we've been following your saga for months, and you're in our prayers. The people who did this to you are ignorant and surely confused. The folks on this blog (the regular crowd, anyhow) do get a little verbally randy with each other occasionally, but there's not a one who would ever harm a child. If there is anything we can do, such as writing letter(s) of support, please let us know.

Please - don't drop all contact. We love you. God loves you - and Sadie. Romans 8:28.

[Wyo Cowboy]

mm, you just said it all, thank you.

[Edgar Greenberg]

I'm sorry. Is this a bad time? What happened? Is everything OK?

[Wyo Cowboy]

I can't help but wonder, if Dave were to put Cheri's case before the public, would that help or hinder? I honestly don't know. It is, I think, something to seriously pray about. This is obviously a gross injustice. We all feel helpless and angry. Today, is not the day to make rational decisions on how/what might be done to help. Let us all carefully consider everything, before doing anything.

[ArcticAl]

Cheri, don't give up. Fight this evil with all your might. Get a good lawyer and get a fair hearing. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that you're an excellent Mom and that the charges are ludicrous in the extreme. Common sense will prevail in the end. I know that you two are meant to be together. We all love you and the baby. Take care and God bless.

[Auntie M]

Edgar, check your e-mail.

[blurk]

Edgar, read.

[DeskDiva]

Gmta, Auntie M. I sent one, too.

[Wyo Cowboy]

I'm thinkin' Edgar's email box is overflowin'

This is a special family.

[blurk]

There's so much more I want to say but I just don't know how. Unfortunately, I'm not quite as eloquent as you folks. Usually, what I have to say involves shooting something, which I feel like doing right now. But that's all just jokes (for you CPS baby takin' blog monitors). So I'll just say I'm gonna pray for you, Punkin. And I don't pray for nuthin' very often.
Again, we all love you.

[Wyo Cowboy]

blurk, email?

[Auntie M]

I need to go to bed. Punkin, I'm praying for you. Night.

[CJrun]

Hmmm. It seems to me me that everyone around here is accepting the worst, before events have played out. I'm not young, and mostly things work out OK.

I've just had a brother barge into the house and us spend hours talking over cold ones. That never happens... he and I generally keep parallel, but separate lives. We don't know what tomorrow holds.

[blurk]

CJ, have another cold one. Maybe I should too, because I have no idea what you just said.

[blurk]

Yeah, yeah, yeah...I know I should've put a comma between "should" and "too" but I think that looks stupid. I don't rightly care what the textbooks say.

[Wyo Cowboy]

blurk, you workin' nights now, or are you hooked-up at home?

[Edgar Greenberg]

I got the emails. I'm not sure what to say yet, save that I too am horrified. And even though nothing that I could say would make any dent in the pain, I wish it could.

[Edgar Greenberg]

Me and my damn "Lagrangian multipliers." Why couldn't I keep my mouth shut?

[Wyo Cowboy]

Edgar, perhaps you (like the rest of us), are human?

G'night folks, love you all, and love the blog.

Cheri, you're never alone.

we all love you. perhaps more than you know.

[blurk]

Wyo, if it's the cowboy address I'm at home. G'nite.

[Just Ducky]

'Night, Wyo! Time for me to flap off to bed, too. Nighty-night and hugs to everybody!

(*Snork* @ Edgar's Lagrangian multipliers--we should wash out your mouth with soap!)

[blurk]

Time to hit the hay for me too. Nite all.

[DeskDiva]

Ditto. It's been a rough day in a couple of ways.

[CJrun]

I'm confident beacause of things Wolfgang's Concert Vault. That a Blogger turned me on to. I have great confidence in humans, even if they're funny lookin' with their clothes off.

[CTProf]

Cheri, I just wanted to add my prayers and support. Siouxie told me about what happened this afternoon, I just haven't been able to get here before now.

You have an incredible group of friends here, don't forget to lean on them when you need to.

I've been on the receiving end of a "revenge" call to DCF, so please know that things can and probably will turn out once someone with a little common sense steps in. Just don't give up.

[rebekah]

Cheri, my heart hurts for you. I don't know how to fix this but I do know you should NEVER give up hope. Stay strong for baby Poo.
Much love, Becky

[danceswithvowels]

Cheri, I wish there were something I could do, or something I could say, encouraging, practical, or even nonsensical, that would be of any help to you. I can only say that I'm praying that those charged with looking after your precious baby's wellbeing will correct this bizarre and hurtful misjudgment, quickly, and that you'll be comforted and strengthened to persevere in the meantime. It's clear that you have many friends who love you.

[diverdowndoc]

((((Cheri and Dr. Poo))))

Honey, I don't know if you are still reading these outpourings of love and support, but we feel so helpless and angry for you and the injustice that we don't know what else to do.

I'm sure you will hold Baby Poo in your arms again. We all love you and your family and don't want to see it broken up.

Angie

[Siouxie]

Good morning!

I feel the love, people. Let's home today is a better day.

[Siouxie]

And, by home, I meant HOPE.

*note to self - do NOT attempt blogging before fully awake*

[DavCat]

{{{{{Punkin}}}}}

I'm praying for you and your family.

[Mot The Hoople]

After yesterday I'm lacing the coffee with Uncle Jack, and tough sh1t if anybody objects.

[crossgirl]

there's no place like hope, there's no place like hope.

[Siouxie]

very funny, cg!! ;-P

Mot, I'd have one of those but then I'd never get to work. Enjoy it for the rest of us.

[crossgirl]

thanks for the boost mot. glad to see you up and about this morning!

[danceswithvowels]

Thanks for the "Mot's Apple Juice" this morning, Mr Hoople. And it's off to work with me. Trusting the end of the week will be immeasurably better than the rest of it ...

[Eleanor]

*zips in*™

Good morning.

The Goo Goo Dolls have a song called Better Days. It came out at a time when a close friend of mine needed some. and then I found comfort in it for something a month or so ago. I'm sure it's on YouTube but it's too early for me to look for it.

I wish Better Days for you, Cheri.
