yay, hursh!
7:53 am

lol I was thinking just that myself, hurshy
7:54 am
hurshy
so une i just read an article from the wall street journal about why french parents are superior to american parents. :)
7:55 am
Uneaixoise
it's been on NPR a lot -- someone wrote a book about it --
7:55 am
Anniebrook
I am reading Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother about the superiority of Asian mothers.
7:55 am
hurshy
i'm much more convinced by the french than the asian
7:55 am
Uneaixoise
radio interview yesterday was tres interesting -- basically pointing out cultural differences re child rearing around the world
7:56 am
hurshy
since the asian model is about producing high achievement in certain areas, while the french is about producing independence, self-sufficiency, and maintaining life for adults as not totally oriented around the kids.
7:56 am
Uneaixoise
one thing I like about the French is that they don't plan every aspect of their lives around their children
7:56 am
hurshy
if i were to decide to have a child i would HAVE to do it the french way, i could never handle the modern american way.
7:57 am
Anniebrook
This particular Asian mother planned her life around her children's achievements
7:58 am
hurshy
my husband was born in france and lived there until he was 12, though his parents were american, but i guess they kind of adopted the french parenting style
7:58 am
Uneaixoise
interesting NPR segment about her as well, a while back, Annie
7:58 am
magazinemom
With an 11 year old and a 13 year old and knowing what I know now, there are MANY things I would do different
7:58 am
Uneaixoise
and yes, I listen to NPR while transporting rescue dogs LOL!!
7:58 am
magazinemom
and I totally agree with the French!
7:59 am
Anniebrook
I must be on my way, bye dear babblers
7:59 am
hurshy
it's funny though, i had taken roughly the same lesson already from a house episode where a mobster told a child to stop crying. the kid did and the mobster then told house and the kid's brother "they have to believe you'll hurt them".
7:59 am
hurshy
of course not the hurting part but the general idea of conveying authority.
8:00 am
MollyL
Well, in a kinder, gentler way of parenting, they have to believe there will be consequences. : )
8:00 am
Uneaixoise
one of my favorites: many years ago, my daughter's sixth birthday party was at a local skating rink -- the mother of one of the invited little girls impressed upon me how important it was that I watch her daughter closely to be sure she didn't "get overheated" AAAGGHH!! LOL
8:00 am
hurshy
i employ it on nieces and nephew to great effect.
8:01 am
Uneaixoise
of course, THAT was the little girl who fell and one of the other little girls skated over her hand!
8:01 am
MollyL
Une, I would have invited that Mother to stay and watch her own child.
8:01 am
Uneaixoise
i'm sure her mom thought I was the worst mom on the planet! LOL
8:01 am
hurshy
yeah i'm with molly
8:01 am
MollyL
Over heated? Seriously? The poor, delicate flower.
8:02 am
Uneaixoise
indeed!!
8:02 am
Uneaixoise
and she's now grown up to be a tour manager for some bands based in Atlanta!
8:02 am
Uneaixoise
no longer a delicate flower!!
8:02 am
MollyL
I bet she gets overheated doing that. : )
8:04 am

and the people i am buying form turned nasty last week, but i am finally there
11:59 am
montreal13
what did they do ?
12:00 pm
Glantarell
all sorts of stuff - the phone company cut them off a week early - not my fault - genuine mix up
12:00 pm
Glantarell
i offered them a mi=obile dongle (prepaid) so they weren't inconvenienced - they said no, they'd already borowed one
12:00 pm
montreal13
oh, ok, stuff happens
12:00 pm
Glantarell
then they sent me a legal claim for loss of income due to no internet
12:01 pm

which of course has no substance but it has still cost nme in legal fees to rebut
12:01 pm

good luck on them getting anything on that one..thats what 4 g sticks are for
12:02 pm

also they won;t hand over the keys - I am staying with a friend less than a mile form the hosue but they insist on taking the leys to the estate agent 5 miles away rather than hand them to me
12:02 pm

but finally, the reward is in sight
12:02 pm
crosshair
no substance at all
12:02 pm

12:58 pm

One evening Mr. Rudolph Block, of New York, found himself seated at dinner alongside Mr. Percival Pollard, the distinguished critic. "Mr. Pollard," said he, "my book, _The Biography of a Dead Cow_, is published anonymously, but you can hardly be ignorant of its authorship. Yet in reviewing it you speak of it as the work of the Idiot of the Century. Do you think that fair criticism?" "I am very sorry, sir," replied the critic, amiably, "but it did not occur to me that you really might not wish the public to know who wrote it." -- Ambrose Bierce

This is fun, especially after a day spent at a funeral. Having said that, the day was not short on laughs. Beloved's family, especially the menfolk, are nto short on dry humour or black humour.

7:38 pm
Shirlockc
i have ee4, eg4, el4, em4, what am i missing?
7:39 pm
Jacula
It may sound strange to say a day spent at a funeral was not short on laughs but here's an example of what the widower said after the newly qualified lady vicar had stumbled her way through the service. It was her very first funeral. 'She did alright, didn't she? She told me before that she was very worried about mucking it up. I told her, "Well I promise you we WON'T laugh!"'

ah4/6! Here is a story of clues. It se5/12 like a story is not needed today, however, I fe 4/7 like doing one anyway.A few years ago,I was wearing high he 5/12. I tripped and fell down. I tried to sh 5/12 myself from a glass table I was about to fall on.In doing so,I put a ga4/7 in my forehead with the tip of my shoe.When I fell,I just looked up at the ce4/5ing and saw stars.All I could do was si 4/7 at how clumsy I had been. I also wished that I was more ag 5/14. Then I sat on the so 4/7 with an ice pack, but that did not help.My hubby had to drive me, his wi4/11, to doctor's office to get some stitches.Now I am going to go watch the movie Sa4/7 Harbor. I'll be back later on to enter last word.

Hi stidg! I used to eat infant school 'glue' (flour and water mixed). I especially liked the lumps in it! I also used to eat paper. My teacher got so worried she asked my Mum to take me to the doctor. Mum did and he said I had 'pica' and that she had to give me the things in my diet that I was obviously missing.

Can you see the young lovers parted by the battle? He's up on the city wall with his bow and arrow poised. She's down in the square hoping he won't get shot down...

He'd only confessed his love for her just hours before the si5/14 began.
8:29 pm

ok,here is someone online dating picked for me:
8:30 pm

Then there's the couple who've been married for many years. The wife's looking up at her brave husband (chief of the city) and her 4 sons, the youngest of which is only 11... and they're all up on the walls ready to do battle.

8:31 pm
72 Temple Owl
"Someone who will not except me to make all the dissions, of what we should do, I would like your input. Isn't that's what being a couple is all about.
I beleive family comes first for both parties also friends, some friends are family.
As your read you can see I'm not too good discribing myself. Please no mind games, just be honest, I can take no as an answer.
People that know me would laught but there are times I am not much of a talker, then there are other times you may need to tell me to be quite.
I grew up in a bar / night club. I was a bartender and manager. It must have been in my geans, my one Grandfather was a bootlegger."

8:33 pm
72 Temple Owl
jacs, do you think he meant grewupin a barN?
8:33 pm
ChampFit
And bootlegging could come in handy, I guess...
8:33 pm

No, TO, since he did say /nightclub.
8:34 pm
72 Temple Owl
he did not list his occupation,only that he did not have a 8to 5 job. does not matter, i am a yeartoo old for him. the site routinely ignorethings like that as well asthe fact that you are 700miles apart.
