Off-Topic / RULES to teach your daughter !!

« on: August 27, 2022, 06:56:04 am »Message ID: 1371514

1. Make your bed every day, even if it’s right before you get in it.
2. Don’t wear holey underwear…in case you’re in an accident and they cut your clothes off.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
5. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
7. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
8. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
9. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
10. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
11. Never walk through an alley alone.
12. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
13. Can’t is a cop-out.
14. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
15. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
16. Never lie to yourself.
17. Your body, your rules.
18. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
19. Practice your passions.
20. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
21. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
22. Stay as sweet as you are.
23. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
24. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
25. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
26. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
27. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
28. Question everything, except your own intuition.
29. You have enough. You are enough.
30. You are amazing! Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does….walk away. You deserve better.
31. No matter where you are, you can always come home.
32. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
33. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
34. No one will ever love you more than I do.
35. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
36. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown

Off-Topic / The Man In The Glass

« on: July 24, 2022, 05:46:23 am »Message ID: 1370931

by Dale Wimbrow
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for the day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you’re a straight-shootin’ chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
If you can’t look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he’s with you clear to the end,
And you’ve passed you most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

Thank you all for your feed back. We have a neighbor who keeps calling animal control on us for her barking in the yard. We sent our dog to Maine to go live with my daughter and her family A new neighbor on the other side of us just moved in and now he has a dog. I hope his dog is a barker just to pi&& her off. I'm sorry but I cant stand people who calls on you because your dog might bark 3 times in the middle of the day. YET here is our neighbor who walks around her house naked for all to see GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....put curtains or blinds up DAM !!

I have one son who says it routinely and the other one says it reluctantly, but I take what I can get. I love 'em both so much it's ridiculous. I am blessed to have two wonderful sons.

I have a wonderful daughter too, but this post is "a guy thing" post, and I didn't want to leave her out when talking about wonderful children. 

I'm glad you included your daughter. My daughter tells me as well. My kids are great but both coming from the same parent I just dont get why my daughter says it often but my son wont. He emailed me once and said "I love you Mom but dont expect to hear it in person" I just dont get it

My guys are around the same age and on the hone or when they are leaving they always say something, maybe just love ya, but something.  So it is not all guys.

Oh my son will say i'm leaving now bye. He's a police officer so I ALWAYS want MY last words as "I love you" God forbid if something happened

My son got us a puppy almost 3 years ago now. My BF retired and so my son thought it would be a good idea to get the puppy to keep my BF off the couch so much. My BF had a stroke a month ago and is in rehab now and he was the one who always took our dog for a walk. I tried a couple of times walking her but it seems like she is walking me more because she drags me. Me being 65 is having a hard time walking Sasha so I just take her out in the yard and play with her out there. Is it that awful of me not to take her for walks? I cant afford to pay someone what do I do?

Playing with her in the yard is not so bad.Maybe you can train her not to walk so fast or hard as well in the yard.Dogs respond to simple kind commands.

How big is she?Reward her when she listens.

She is a medium size Mexican coated with a mind of her own. So many tried to help me but she still pulls and is very strong. Neighbors have tried to walk her but find it difficult
