  • My income is 6 times what it was in 1980. I don't have a problem with that.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Moogs ?: You made that up, right? I didn't make it up. I picked it up from somewhere. It could be fact, could be fiction. It's funny either way. One that happened here... We have a suburb cal…
  • Heard about the weatherman who predicted a big snow storm that never materialized? On the next night's news program, the segway to the weather report was a classic. The pretty young female news anchor turned to the weather desk, and asks, "Well, Dic…
  • Saw Neil Diamond live a few years ago for the first (and only) time. Started collecting his albums when they were albums. He's always been my favorite. Enjoy the show!
  • Spanking your kid is analogous to whacking your donkey between the eyes with a two by four. It gets his attention. That is, it's effective. That done, lesson two begins. You get more teaching done that way.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Wrong Robot: I think a disapproving frown is perfectly dandny, cause then it shows the kid that you are displeased and if you never hit your kid in the first place and are extra nice to them they will respond to seeing y…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BRussell: Kids definitely test boundaries, and you have to win - they're the private and you're the sergeant, and they have to lose rank sometimes. But I don't think you need to use spanking to do that. You can have disc…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Wrong Robot: I think its not okay to spank your kids. not only do you advocate using violence but you lodge in their minds that if they are bad, they get pain. ...punishment is not necessary. any form of punishment. …
  • [quote]Originally posted by BRussell: I agree that age is a big factor. But 8-9 months seems too early to me. You can easily hurt a baby. The way I see it, at that age, it's OUR fault as parents if the baby gets into something they're not supposed …
  • I agree with many of the things already posted. The old adage "spare the rod, spoil the child" holds water. I spanked my kids, but rarely. As for why is it ok, well, at an early age (I mean early) the kid understands that, and little else. (in terms…
  • Jeff, I thaught you were my frend. I never think you would say such mean things about me. It is a long commute to Iowa from here. Did you ever think that I am just to tired? I won't never speek to you again. Bye, Jeff.
  • Well, it really is the little things. Trying not to trigger the frustration of a pet peeve. (There's another thread for you!) Stuff like making sure to close the (cupboard, closet, dresser, medicine cabinet, garage, microwave) [pick one] door/drawer…
  • It's the little things that count the most, the ones the other person is not even aware of. If you are the only one who knows that you're doing something for another, getting no recognition for it, and you keep on doing it anyway, that can bring imm…
  • Lucky me, I missed all of those shows. Well, I did watch one, ok, two rounds of The Chamber. The controversy they generated sucked me in.
  • Slutskaya better looking? Right. On a good day, maybe. Cohen nearly ran into Kwan during warm ups. This was before the Olympics. The media tried to make a big deal out of it, like it was some sort of attempt to intimidate. Not a chance. Well, not…
  • Well, at least there's one person in the world who thinks Irina Slutskaya is an elegant skater. However, Eugene, there are many who think that of Sarah Hughes. And she will get better. Sasha Cohen's 'air' disturbs me. She seems puckish to…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Splinemodel: Slutskaya is and was a lot more smooth, despite any technical mishaps. I couuldn't disagree more. Her strength is jumping. . (<--period) She is stiff in her presentation, and seems to be forcing he…
  • I think the judges got it right this time. Slutskya was better than Kwan, but only by a "nose". Sarah Hughes will develop more refined artistry as time goes on. She was the youngest of the top 6 for cryin' out loud. But, on that night, she gave the …
