I lived with my grandmother and of course my room was always messy. One day she said my closet was a rat's nest. I truly believed it, as if she would have tolerated a rat in her home. I did clean up my room after that.
My sweet aunt told me I was born with six toes. She even reinforced it with shock that my mother hadn't told me. I believed it for years and eventually found out it wasn't true.
When we used to have cookouts in a park, inch worms would be dangling from threads from the trees above. When the wind blew they were blown over the grill, killed and dropped in the fire.
Well, it seems like people are just looking for things to ban these days. Did you know in the early days of the automobile, windshield wipers got a bad rap because they might distract the driver.
Great news. Now please keep an eye out for how they interact with you. Even the slightest moodiness. These can be signs that someone may be trying to influence them against you. I hate to be a wet blanket but these were the signs I missed.
Doesn't matter if you are near or far. If one parent is intent on bad mouthing the other, it will be a mess. It happened to me with the kids living with me and their father having visitation. His manipulation is still felt to this day. I never dreamed a person could be so vile. I pray there was only one devil like him in this world. Good luck to you.
Long, long ago a few co-workers and I went out to a party at another co-workers house. The idiot spiked the drinks with PCP. Even the next day I couldn't function at work and went home. Later this same guy killed his ex and her boyfriend. In jail he somehow hung himself.
When my daughter stole from a supermarket I went with her to take it back to the manager and apologize. When I told my ex about it the only thing he said was "love her more". The jerk was turning my daughter against me all the while. When I eventually found out it was too late to redeem myself with her. To this day we are estranged.
Solitude is not bad. You can choose to be busy or not, depending on your choice. I guess it can make you a bit selfish when everything is what, where and when you want.
Since I don't have anyone to put on makeup for, I do it for myself. If I feel good about myself, I think that reflects on my interaction with others (in a good way)
Yes, give the brats anything and everything they want. As my daughter said "she didn't ask to be born". Execuse me, anything they want on a silver platter. I'm the enemy because I didn't cave.
If Obama expresses sympathy for blacks, he doesn't care about the white population, if he expresses sympathy for whites, he's an Uncle Tom, if he shows no feeling about anyone, he's not a people's president.
Fodder for anyone who wants to prove how awful he is.

Matinee police don't exist down here. Movies shown afternoons are fair game.
