It is called liability. Vinyl siding and burning off grass are mutually exclusive things. My neighbor tried to burn off his yard and melted the whole side off the end of his home. I have seen grass fires in subdivisions where we have been called out. when the grass starts growing again, it is as green as can be. It just looks bad until then and is a very dangerous thing to do.

Why? What is it doing that you do not like? Is it messing up your Bermuda? If that is the case Lime the heck out of it. Bermuda loves it and it will flat kill Centipede.

I am very "Liberal" when it comes to spankings. I apply them liberally and for all to see (if the need be). I do usually try to go to the bathroom or leave the premises. Dis jr. did something that warranted a posterially applied corrective measure while dropping him off at daycare years ago. I took him to the bathroom and swatted his butt. Another parent must have seen it as the door was closing because the director pulled ne aside later when I picked him up. she told me tha "you need to take him off site to do that" Really?!? I'll spank him in front of you if the situation demands it. Say h

Uh Ooh!!! You done did it now. You used the "S" word.

My kids like to play Unofficial there. They have cards for the kids.

No... That is a vow you make to your spouse. Just because they break it does not give you the right to do the same. You promised to forgive and that is what you do. In regular life with say a coworker, it is a far different thing to be accused of "acting" some way towards a person even if you do not and then start to just go with it and treat them that way because they are already convinced you do.

Now that is what I'm talking about!! Sometimes you just have to stoop to their level because it makes you feel better. Yeah I know, we are all better than that. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. don't stoop to their level. All are sage advice but sometimes just leaves you still feeling pissed with nothing to show for it. ETA I'm not seeing a "yes" up there that I would expect from you.

I have not noticed an attitude from you. Sometimes we just have to agree to disagree which is fine. Pubby, I actually agree with you on that.

So in the movie a woman is set up by her husband and convicted of his murder (but he is not really dead). He did it to get out of financial trouble. So she figures out he is still alive but can't convince anyone of this fact. She does her time in jail for his murder. When she gets out, she of course goes after him. Remember that you can not be tried for the SAME crime twice in the US. Well that is the concept anyway. So here is my poll's concept... Should someone accuse you of treating them in a specific manner, that you did not, should you go ahead and actually start treating them

I actually enjoy the "peek-a-boo" over the seat thing... for short periods. Not for my entire dinner though. If I can look up and smile at a child and add a good momment to their day and help pacify a restless child even for a few seconds, I see no harm in it. I do have a real problem with small kids running around in a restraunt with no supervision. It is disruptive and dangerous. I think I might even like to send Dis jr. over to their table to bump it and knock their drinks over into their laps. I wouldn't but I would like to. I do remember taking my newborn daughter to a movie once. Som

Who is Siri and how do I hire her?

What she said. I have taken Dis jr. to the bathroom, outside, behind another building or even home leaving the wife and daughter to eat when he misbehaved. He does MUCH better now. I will cut a parent slack for things that just happen and not think much about it. However an ongoing 10- 15 minute tantrum or an entire dinner with an ill mannered or cranky child is just pushing the limits of acceptability. I wouldn't do it to them, I do not expect them to do it to me

Cool!! Kind of like orienteering with a phone. Sounds like lots of fun.

Uh... Okay... Glad it works for your Geo doofalachimicola. Could you put that in layman's English please.

Transparant phone app. http://www.tecca.com/news/2012/02/07/transparent-screen-android-app/ I do not do this or use this app but it seems like a good idea if you must text and walk at the same time

No, they shouldn't and the parents should teach and reinforce that. It is also acceptable to teach it in school but where do you draw the line with enforcing it?
-
Not to Speak for Mrs. H. but I believe she was refering to the fact that you stated "it was your belief" so to speak that the girl had too much to eat. She was questioning your ability to judge what she should be eating without being even the in the slightest way familiar with the child and her needs as an individual. That is the problem I have as well with a fourth party deciding what and how much my child should eat.i seethe childhood obesity as a problem but not one that I feel that I need to be involved in with the child. You want to go after the parent, Fine, have at it. You should also p

Picking crops is a skilled job? Not to be confused with growing / farming in general. When the farmer says it is time to pick the cotton, you go pick it. Now there will be a very small learning curve as you figure out the best way to remove the crop from the plant. I do not remember having to read a book in order to pick an apple off our apple tree. But sure they will be a little slower at first.

Supply and demand works. In the face of shortages prices rise. If there is a labor shortage then wages "prices" need to rise. when they go up enough they will get more workers. On the other hand, they may be trying to force another shortage. If their goods are in short supply, the price of the goods will rise. If the price of goods rise then they can better afford to pay the workers more. It is all part of the laws of supply and demand.

Technically number 12 is wrong. Excluding numbers 3 and 8 since they were "skipped" there are 10 facts but the tenth one is wrong.

I have no issue with teaching proper nutrition. Why do you feel that a teacher would know when they are full enough or have eaten too much. Proper nutrition education means eating the proper items from the right food groups and teaching the benefits of following them vs the down side of not. It does not mean the food consumption patrol sitting behind me has determined that I have had enough chips now and need to eat a carrot or that I am now full and can not take another bite.

No... We had issues. But WE HAD TO EDUCATE OURSELVES and then the school. And still we had to deal with things that were just WRONG. Dis jr. gets extra funding from the state which goes straight to the school. When we still had ASP through the schools, he had a person just for him that was paid for with those funds. YET STILL the school called me one day saying, and I quote "we had another teacher call in sick today and need your son's to watch the other teacher's class, you will just have to come and pick up your son". WTF?!? over... That is the stuff that I KNOW CAN AND WILL HAPPEN when some

Good GRIEF!!! If you are not hungry do not eat it. Again, we are teaching our kids that someone ese will always be looking out for you because you are too stupid to even know when you are full! Now get back in there and learn to handle that shovel dummy! We got ditches that need digging. And to all, I am not talking to the child per se, just trying to make a point about what we are actually teaching them.

Here is a Wiki article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-1-1 I love this part A promotional website for 3-1-1 in Los Angeles described the distinction as follows: "Burning building? Call 9-1-1. Burning Question? Call 3-1-1."[ We do not list the station's phone numbers for safety reasons. It is better to call 911 to report a house fire than it is to call the closest station. We will still have to call dispatch to start the other engines and we may be out on another call. One of our stations numbers recently got put on Google and they were getting calls all day and all night.

So now you are saying that since I prefer privacy that I must be abusing Mrs. Dis or Dis jr. Nevermind the fact that I travel to 400 @ 285 every quarter for his PE Dr. visit for which I get the privilige of a $4,000 medication Rx. We travel to Johnson Ferry and Lower Roswell every 6 weeks to see his counselor and get other Rx s. We get to go down town Emory Adventist and pay Huge $$ for being scoped and treated due to food alergies in hopes that he will not choke on a food he is alergic to and die or at best his body will tolerate so he can grow. And let me throw in here that his dairy allergy
