T'Mahk Too - Comments on You used up all the glue on purpose! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html Last night we had a traumatic event. Gark broke one of his favorite Bionicles. There was so much wailing and gnashing of teeth that I couldn't, at first, even ascertain the problem. Which used up my wailing sympathy pretty fast.... en-gb Wed, 15 Nov 2006 08:41:55 -0500 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 19:25:31 -0500 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.33 kim@andfam.net 180 By Rosanne LOL- I asked ds13 if he has that Bionicle, and his response was, "NO! That's one of the eeeeeevil ones!" I didn't realize that my children were concerned with the morality of Lego critters. ;-) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html#c20762 20762:529@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ LOL- I asked ds13 if he has that Bionicle, and his response was, "NO!

They go straight to their father, or they put it up and wait until he gets home, because generally I am considered the incompetant parent. I can't imagine where they got that impression. (Possibly, it has something to do with the fact that whenever *I* break anything, I yell "BOBBY! HELP! The world is falling apart around me!" And he rushes to fix it, because he is nice that way.) (Although he is still insane. Much more insane than me, and I hold to that fact with every fiber of my being. The fact that I am the most sane one in my family says a lot, don't you think?) (Although, again....isn't it actually really crazy to think that you aren't crazy? Maybe I only think I am not certifiable, and actually my family's craziness is normal and I just can't tell. Now I will have to ponder this all day.) http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html#c20783 20783:529@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ Alas, I can be of no help with the gluey substances, because when anything around here breaks, my children don't even discuss it with me.

We have our own stockpile of poor, abused toys that were never repaired because of this reason. We have a GI Joe whose face came off ( I know! ) and he still sits up on the cabinet waiting for the day he can once again menace the Barbies...... http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html#c20784 20784:529@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I use "super glue" a lot.

I have yet to find ANYTHING that bonds plastic together and withstands child's play. Sorry to sound so gloom and doom. If you find something that works, PLEASE let us all know what it is!! http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html#c20811 20811:529@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ I hate to be the one to say it, but if he wants to do more than just set it on a shelf for display, I seriously doubt ANY glue will hold it together for you.

I don't remember it looking that way EITHER and I bought some within the last 3 months - a THREE-pack, so that if we ended up doing what your dh did, we'd still have some here :D http://andfam.net/kimblog/archives/000529.html#c20943 20943:529@http://andfam.net/kimblog/ And by the way, I followed your link to SuperGlue and they DO appear to have changed the packaging.
