1. Why is other peoples' tragedy cause for amusement?

4. That post can either be taken seriously or humorously.

Why would you assume that it's meant as humor? People NEED to keep an eye on their kids if they love them.

Enjoy your stay.

6. Well, he initially asked if kids were floating away

As this is beyond probability (unless DU is predominantly populated by balloonists) it would appear that it was a quip about today's tragedy.

However, the OP has sionce been edited.

If the original poster says it wasn't meant to be snark I believe them...the new OP is far better.

7. It was meant to be a kid check

I could have easily said, "Driving off in the car"

8. If you say your intent was innocent...

...and your edit bares that out, then I'm sure it was innocent and not meant to be a snark over tragedy.

:hug:

Fortunately, all is well that ends well and a little jest can be a stress reliever.

2. Wish I could.

One is in Morgantown, WV (with the flu, NOT swine.) The other is in NJ, recovering from surgery. I'm not happy with what the industrial revolution did to families. We miss eachother.

5. I don't have any

Sometimes, I wish I did have some kids to look after

9. Everybody check that your balloons are tethered

That's what my mom always taught me.
