I'm with you, not my thing.

whole roasted chicken, baked corn casserole, kale chips & salad.

I was about to say John Denver. I am his #1 fan. I can't listen to The Eagle & The Hawk Or Wild Montana skies without shedding a tear or two. Those songs bring me right back to the early 80's singing & dancing in my living room. I don't have a huge amount of happy carefree memories from my childhood, but that was one that I will always love. I tend to always associate songs with life events and memories also. The Verve Pipe "freshman" always makes me cry because it was popular on the radio at the same time I was 19, pregnant and terrified. when I hear it it brings me back.

Thank you so much for this post. I have been bothered all day by this thread. I just can't understand comparing deaths or life, or who "deserves" what after their death. Where is the compassion for a life lost? It's disturbing to me, the lack of sympathy.

So, is this like when a person cheats on his or her spouse because he or she is being accused of it, so they figure they may as well go ahead & do it?

I think the real problem is lazy parenting. Plain & simple. SO many parents will threaten and threaten but never actually follow through on threats or punishments, I see it all the time with ceartin people I know. And i'm sure on the way home from the resturant, the same little angels who just finished running amuck and ruining dinners are treated to a dvd in the back seat, instead of having to listen to a lecture on how to act properly in a resturant. Easy peasy!

I do too, and I agree with you 100%. VERY well said!!

dosen't bother me. I remember when my dog died, a "friend" of mine thought I was being too dramatic in how upset I was, My thought was, How can someone tell someone else how upset they should or should not be over a death? I don't get it.

Oh, I do. I find it very annoying.

I don't have a Kindle(bitter). I asked for one for v-day but instead got candy that i've never liked. One of these days i'll join the rest of civilization, I just know it! I'm reading "Fast Women" by Jennifer Cruise. It's a mystery/romance, I hate it and can't wait to be finished. 20 more pages.

Oh.

for real!!! WTH?

Did he die?

Dear government, GET OUT OF MY BELLY! That is all.

pan fried flounder & scallops, Roasted asparagus & garlic, whole wheat garlic cheddar rolls.

Homeschooling. ETA-anyone know of any local pagents? I want my infant son to compete.

Obama is a muslim.

Same here. Good post.

and you got +3 for that. Sad. I can't imagine having enough darkness in my heart to feel that way about someone simply because their politics differ from my own. Tis a scary world indeed.

If my child stands around to watch a fight, and that is against the rules, that's my childs fault. Even back in my day, kids got in trouble for watching a fight. With all the BS teachers & admin. have to deal with these days I don't blame them for having a zero tolerance approach, as a matter of fact, I hope for it. Get rid of the distractions, PLEASE!

I'm with you.

This is the plan. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing that SS. Looks like a talk is in order. I can already picture the eye rolls.

good post, thanks.

um yea, 14 going on 50. How I ended up with such a serious, mature child, I will never know!! Thanks guys for your input.
