Yes, for a non-morning person such as me.

8:21 am

Aloyisius

actually have been up since 6am.. did water testing at sunrise for the DEP, all went well but temp in the 40's kind of chilled my gray matter

8:21 am

Aloyisius

am warming up with some cream of wheat and hot coffee, aah

8:21 am

Aloyisius

and Babble too of course

8:23 am

mumpish is.. a moody grump? or.. ? hi Byz (-:

8:26 am

Aloyisius

a curmudgeon here has a fan club - runs a column in the paper

8:27 am

Scrabbler

I am becoming more of a curmudgeon as I get older. I think we all do, as we see changes for the worse. In my office I see the decay of families and parenting.

8:28 am

Aloyisius

yay for curmudgeons!

8:29 am

hurshy

on the other hand, global poverty and disease is on a major downward slope!

8:29 am

Aloyisius

yay for optimists!

8:29 am

Scrabbler

True, Hurshy.

8:30 am

hurshy

i am not an optimist - i just keep these facts to remind myself not to be a complete pessimist

8:30 am

Aloyisius

good to hear something positive, that is for sure

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Yet I see more feral children every day, so I am ascared of the future.

8:30 am

Aloyisius

the news can make one downright depressed

8:32 am

Scrabbler

I see reality every day and it scares me. Lack of parenting, loss of families, loss of manners, etc. Sorry, I am being a pessimist now.

8:33 am

robwhy

I keep hoping that we are in the one step back that precedes two steps forward

8:34 am

Aloyisius

well, do the "sad cases" make up a large percentage of your cases, Scrabbs? Just one a day would be upsetting, but I imagine that if you encounter a steady stream, it would indeed be scary

8:35 am

Scrabbler

I hope there will be an awakening, rob, that we have lost 2 generations of kids to wimpy parenting, and that parents do indeed need to behave like parents in order to create adults.

8:36 am

TheByzantine

depression: a funeral in the brain

8:36 am

Scrabbler

We (my partners and me) estimate that just 20% of parents behave as traditional, responsible, thoughtful parents that are focused on giving their kids the skills to become adults.

8:36 am

Anniebrook

That is very sad.

8:36 am

Scrabbler

Byz--it's an epidemic among kids that are ignored by their parents.

8:37 am

Scrabbler

So sad, Annie, that I want to adopt hundreds of kids.

8:37 am

Aloyisius

egads.. a disturbing observation

8:38 am

Anniebrook

Scrabbs, Does that happened across the entire practice? Or just in pockets?

8:38 am

Scrabbler

I am awaiting a newly published book by Leonard Sax, MD, The Collapse of Parenting. He gets it.

8:39 am

Aloyisius

oh what fools we Mo7 be

8:40 am

Scrabbler

Annie, we have observed it over the last 20 years. Across the US. Look at the data for the number of American kids acandemically failing, or on psychiatric meds.

8:40 am

thanks, aloy

By the logic of lo5, "creamcheesed" should be a word too. I'm ok with that, being fond of cream cheese.

4:24 pm

lynxxx
