emergency prayers!
For details go to headline news, but please begin praying immediately for a 6 yr old boy floating away into the rockies in a gas ballon, alone.

Well, I guess a whole Country of Prayers had the wind the lack of trees and soft ground, made a perfect landing for the Balloon.

It looks like he might not have been in the balloon. The door "wasn't breached." His father is a meteorologist and weather chaser. The balloon is one of his projects. How it got loose and where the little boy is are still mysteries.

He's been found alive at the house!
In a box, in the garage in the attic!

Ha - I wonder how long HE will be grounded!? I thought for sure he had gone up in the balloon.. I didn't figure such a little guy could hide away for such a long time.

I wonder what mom and dad want to do. Hug him or whip him. LOL
What a strange story. That may be the most TV I've watched in a long time.

What about the 'you guys said we did this for the show' quote. Sounds a bit like a set up to me - but I have a suspicious mind!

The boy busted his parents in a live interview. Had his parents backpedaling to cover themselves.

Ahhh Wind in Her Hair, you may have spoken the true question.
We now know the child was safe all along.
A lighter than air device requires a gas bag material that will hold the gas in it with out leaking. A home made device (yes I know his Dad knew about lighter than air craft) will be made of materials that will leak out the gas within hrs.
So why would someone keep the gas in a craft if it were not about to fly?
Very good Mam, I think you cracked the nut.

I am so thankful to the good Lord that this child is ok. All afternoon I kept looking up at the sky and thinking, what if that were my 5 1/2 year old dgd?
The thought of him falling out had me literally nauseous.
But now? I'm starting to think something was rotten in Denmark all right!
How in the world did he stay that quiet and still that long? Could his throwing up now be from swine flu (we are epidemic) or did they give him something to keep him quiet?
Seeing videos of his dad make me cringe. The man seems seriously unbalanced or manic. If he yelled at the kid the way he yelled on wifeswap, I CAN see a terrified child hiding in fear for his life.
But the comment the kid made, and the look on his face when he did, about "the show" coupled with the dad's pitching a reality tv show about his family unsuccessfully have me seriously wondering if it was all a hoax.
Whatever, I sure hope our social services looks into this family.

RIGHT!
The parents have no responsibility here. It is unfortunate that we have such a large percentage of our population that does not need to abide by any rules.
They just do whatever their little harts desire. they seem almost useless sometimes. So in self defense we let them go to college, on and on. Some become perpetual students. This is good because they could not hold a job thet required labor. Then speaking of labor we actually allow them to breed.
It's always somebody else's fault. Perhaps the oldest son. Right!
It is really unfortunate that the type of people who refuse to live by any rules that require common sense, now seems to be about 50% of the population. Really sad
