Not to be confused with semi-retarded, which she has been for a long time.

Careful. You will be sued for defamation.

Or, more nefariously, some sneaky dog can make your posts just disappear.
it seems to happen quite often w/o any explanation.

A taste of the bait is worth the pain of the hook.....

If you say things which are offensive, or personal attacks, expect your posts to disappear. if you do it too much, you may get banned.

UPDATE
Philanthropist Geraldine Cox reflects on life saving hundreds of children, hands over reins of Cambodian orphanage
By Shari Hams
Posted 12h ago
Before Geraldine Cox gave up her life in Australia to care for hundreds of children in Cambodia, she was living "a hedonistic, materialistic life in Sydney".
The Sydney-based socialite-turned-philanthropist said while she was on a mission to save orphans, they had actually saved her.
"I didn't save the kids, they saved me, my life is so full of joy and love every day," Ms Cox said.
"I had catered for dinner parties, expensive jewellery, first-class flights.
"I never gave to the Red Cross or Salvation Army, everything was about me.
"It wasn't until I saw the plight of children – it was like a bullet to the head."
Now aged 77, Ms Cox – known as 'big mum' – is about to hand over the reins of her orphanage and welfare empire in Cambodia.
She first visited Cambodia in the 1970s at the very beginning of the Vietnam War and was overwhelmed by the number of disadvantaged children.
Soon after she found out she could not conceive children, she returned to Cambodia to help as a volunteer in a children's orphanage in the mid-1990s.
The centre, run by the royal family, was plunged into uncertainty after a bloody coup in 1977.
Ms Cox found herself looking after the orphanage alone and on the wrong side of a highly volatile political war.
The royals notified her in 1998 that they were closing the orphanage and she was left with 70 orphaned children, but nowhere to go or funds to look after them.
"The military overthrew the royal family, I was working for the royals at the time, so my life was really in danger," Ms Cox said.
But she witnessed the inhumane treatment of orphaned children and turned to Prime Minister HE for help.
He offered her Cambodian citizenship as well as 10 hectares of land and buildings rent-free for 50 years, on which to establish a new orphanage.

There was no coup in 1977. Only two decades out.The centre, run by the royal family, was plunged into uncertainty after a bloody coup in 1977.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
