  1. Is there a paulding county number to the red cross? This morning my daughter and her roomates house was gutted by a fire. Thank God they are okay, but they have lost everything. My daughter is 20. She only escaped with the clothes on her back. I took her shopping for a few things today but I can only afford so much. If any body has info to the red cross please post here or pm me. Thanks so much,

  2. I wear (always) a guardian angel pendant around my neck and also a cross. The guardian angel pendant was a Christmas gift from my parents, the last my father ever gave me. It comforts and reminds me that my daddy is still always with me.

    The cross was a gift from my mother this past Christmas. I also have a cross hanging in my livingroom. To me they are symbols of God's love for us. Of Jesus sacrifice for us. When things get rough, it's comforting to look over and see it on the wall or just feel it on my neck. I think sometimes we need reminding that no matter what the Lord is with us.

  3. I think sometimes the kids are just so young and suddenly there aren't as many limitations on what they can do. A lot of times these are good kids, good grades. They probably have parents who keep up with them. (in high school). They know where they are, who they hang out with etc. Suddenly they are in college with no one looking over their shoulder. A lot of peer pressure etc. Sometimes some kids just don't make the right and mature decisions. I have a son going off to college next year. Right now I always know where he is. Next year I have to hope and pray he makes good decisions. I know we've taught him well and he's a very smart kid. I will still remain a concerned parent.

  4. I have always talked honestly with my kids. I told them, I trust you unless you give me a reason not to. I also told them It's my job to protect you from yourself. I will try to keep you from getting yourself into a situation which might get out of hand. They have always understood even if they didn't like it.

     

    as far as boys only wanting one thing, I have seen some pretty aggressive girls. I've warned my boys about girls like that since they were young.

  5. we have always had big dogs. we have a boxer and golden retriever/lab. biggest babies in the world. Our daughter had a male pit. also a huge baby except where strange dogs were concerned. then he could be bad. all the dogs we've ever had were very sweet except for one we got from the pound, he hated other peoples kids, and a crazy mixed breed we got from a family member. he didn't like most everybody. we have always treated our dogs like family, but just like people, some dogs just have bad personalities.

  6. I rarely ever spanked mine. Maybe 2-3 times. And that was for something really serious. I think the only time I ever really spanked one good was when my son ran out the door and into the street. Little nut was laughing the whole time. Scared the hell out of me. He never did it again. My parents whipped us though, orange hot wheels track, paddle, belt , hairbrush, switch. Whatever they could get their hands on. Didn't you just hate it when the little red ball came off the string on the paddle? It wouldn't be fun.

  7. When I was growing up both of my parents smoked, in the house , in the car, wherever. It was hard taking my kids over and bringing them home smelling like smoke. Both of my parents did eventually quit. My youngest has asthma and doesn't need to be around smoke. Even small amounts bother him. When people who choose to smoke stand in front of doors to buildings he is forced to go through their smoke. He gets no choice.

    I remember as a kid how bad my throat would feel when I would ride in the car while my parents smoked. Everytime I see someone smoke in the car with their kids I feel so bad for the kids. I know it hurts.

     

     

     

    My dad died in 2003 from lung cancer. 10 years after he quit.
