    It'd be nice if all kids were raised with that attitude. Except for people like Claude. Some egos just need mega doses of sequestering.

    Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      Yeah, it would be some irony if an otherwise decent kid was transformed into a monster cos her parents forced her to make with the cute for the benefit of social media.

      Jus' look what happened to the kid from Home Alone.

      Trashed by fame, sullied by cute, ruined by mankind's lust for sugar coatin' on life's hard-boiled egg.

            Well guys, she's absolutely right.

            I also don't care if you don't like me. I figure that would be your problem, not mine. I like me just fine.

            And unbearable is in the mind of the beholder.

            Oh, also, I don't care if you think I'm unbearable. That would be your personal problem, not mine.

              I can bear that with you, but I can see the girl becoming unbearable if she goes does not pass

              "assertiveness training" who use "assertiveness" just to get their way, such as a young person
              who was going to be "assertive" with her boss about getting her Birthday off with short notice.

                You're absolutely right. There must be a balance in all things, especially when training and teaching small children lessons of life.

                I actually think that at her age, I did care what you thought about me. It's just that after I lived life for a while, grew up and matured I came to the stance I have now. I came to the realization that there comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama in your life and the people that create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good! After all, life is too short to be anything but happy!

                That's why I hang out with you all, all of my buds here in the OT, and you all know who you are.

                                          Frank; I was talking about myself.....again.

                                          I just don't understand how it's fun to cause an animal anguish or pain, or watch someone else do it. The same with humans. Frightening someone, shocking them, just for our entertainment...is something I never understood.

                                          That doesn't make me a better person. It's just not funny to me.

                                              I actually wrote an answer to this, and then realized that I sounded like a matronly old woman.

                                              Although that is my eventual goal in life....................not yet.

                                              Added later; And in a rare moment of self awareness.....I know that I can insult people to tears, and it gives me pleasure. But only people I like, and only if I know they can take as well as they give. And never to women...because no matter what they say.....it won't end well.

                                              And Riffle.

                That is so sweet.

                I am no shortass, but I figure standin' on a bucket gonna make for a better view.

                Thing about the wetsuit is, mud can really dry out your skin.

                You get a ferocious mud pack on your face an' you can be dehydrated into a mummy in no time.

                I am no expert on mud science, all I know is, that stuff can bleed you dry of vital fluids gonna keep your complexion healthy.

                2 hours in the wrong kinda mud, an' you are gonna shrivel jus' like you would if you spent the afternoon in a hot tub.

                Only it ain't gonna be no temporary heat-induced fingertip-specific shrivel, it is gonna be an all-body suckoff of moisture.

                Wetsuit fixes alla that, an' also doubles as a cool emergency undergarment for when you get caught in the rain havin' forgotten to pack an umbrella.

                Tellya, I am so fulla life hacks right now.
