I have lived through three days of the most horrible kind of hell, and for the first time in about 51 years, I don't have a horse. My mare passed an hour and a half ago, and I was with her. She died i

Maybe send him a large book of blank drawing paper as well. He needs something to practice his crayoning on. I hear his daddy reckons he's too old to be scribbling on the walls nowadays.

Actually, scratch that idea. Might be wiser get him one of those where there are lots of numbers that he has to join up in order to make the pictures. There'd be a greater chance others might actually recognise what he's trying to draw.

:whistle: 

Marty, if Drew nukes Ireland...just remember I told you so....😀😀

Well, Caz it is a valid concern...😊 For example...: I had let Kyle and Randy make up their own mind about Drinking and Drugs...I let them get drunk one Christmas holiday... Their response was a hefty hangover, I asked them the next morning and they both decided it wasn't for them, they didn't like it period...!! They have friends that do and a lot that don't so I would say the term everybody has or does is a matter of opinion and really should be up to the reader's opinion... Just saying everyone doesn't and your right a lot don't ever... I myself at a very early age tried pot and through a very bad experience while still in high school decided it was not for me, and never touched it again...on a final note, without ever coercing the boys have made choices that would be considered "Old Fashion" they don't move to follow the in gang but at the same time don't judge them either!! So I really think a whole lot is still the same as when we were younger,  and they have friends on both sides of the fence...😊☺☺ just keep your chin up and know that your thoughts are quite accurate...!!!😗😗😗

Bob great reply....

You're welcome Caz. One other tidbit I heard many years ago. It was advice for young women concerning the men they were dating. It went something like this ... if you want to know how he will treat you if you marry, look at how he treats his mother. The implication being a young man who treats his mother with courtesy, love and respect will treat his wife in the same manner. Of course the opposite would also hold true.

Folks sometimes look at mum and me with surprise as most often we're teasing one another and they're just not sure. By the same token, I hold the door for her, push in her chair, open and close her cardoor and offer an arm in support if the ground is treacherous. I was taught this at a young age. As soon as I was old enough I was expected to be first to the door when we went out as a family. I opened and held the door for everyone, that meant my mother, father, sister, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles, cousins too, though the older boys usually beat me to the task. If as sometimes happened there was a second door my father opened and held it until I, the last in line had entered. It was meant as courtesy not sexist as some have suggested. Quite obviously, my father and grandfathers being adult males could manhandle a door far more easily than my scrawny seven-yearold self and on occasion lent a hand opening a particularly irksome one though the holding duty remained mine. I still strive to be first to the door some of mum's friends are still learning. Many are single or widowed and grown accustomed to fending for themselves. Mum will put a hand on their arm and stand quietly by the door, occasionally she'll say "wait" until I get there. I was also taught that the man goes first only if the restaurant or other establishment is busy so he can clear a path in all other instances the woman goes first. I could go on but your eyes are beginning to glaze over ...

A very good reply. My mom hated 2 of my friends (so did Dennis mom). These two came in without knocking (like you see on sitcoms), my parents being older didn't like their attitude neither did Dennis' parents. My parents taught me to say Mr. and Mrs. and knock at a door. We are doing the same...

I promised July would be a Nuke-Free Month, and I keep my promises. -_- That's why I'm the greatest President ever! :P

Uhm, I'm pretty certain that my heel spurs will be acting up and my doctor says that I need to be excused that day. The good news though is that I heard from reliable sources that both North Korea and Russia have offered to send a couple of their missile launchers to help beef up the military gravitas of the occasion. 

Bone Spurs? According to my Secretary of Health, that is a serious medical condition! :o You are hereby exempted, Sexy! :glomp:

Argh, someone rescue me from Edits (off site and that's why I've been so absent. I signed a new contract that I'm starting to second guess) Warning rant ahead.

It is so confusing when one publisher's editor tells me off for putting details and play by play of conversations in, then another publisher's editor tells me they want all the details in because that is what makes the story and tells me off for glossing over conversations.

Plus, I've got one editor that is telling me my young men are acting more like it's 1950, than 2019 because they brought gifts to their first date and do things like holding chairs/doors for each other. I'm not that far out of touch am i? I'm sure i saw a young man doing that for someone a few days ago. Surely manners haven't changed so completely since i was last dating? 

A bunch of hugs for you, Caz. :hug:

Yes, Gary has a hair appointment that day to look amazing for the 8th, which will be a greater celebration. Balloons will definitely be a plus :P

Nope, Mickey and Remy always hold doors and push in chairs for each other. Because Morgan and Dad-in-law have done a good job of teaching Mickey how to be a man. Remy just sort of picked up on it when they started dating.   :gikkle:

G'day y'all. Made a bit more progress in the garden this morning. Then it became too hot. Now the pup and I are relaxing in the shade enjoying the breeze.

Evening, Dugh and Thistle.   :hug:  *scratches Thistle on his belly*

And there is absolutely no flaws in respect... Actually if people really " Want to Pay it Forward" that's where it should start... My mother was probably as precious as Mum in a lot of areas, I did so much over and above what I was taught...because it just felt Right, I wanted too out of love and respect...!!!😊😊 

Very true...we want our kids to be treated as ladies and gentlemen with their dates... (Hopefully they won't be dating anytime soon, thou Ash said the there's a guy who she likes, but I think Jordan and Kipp wants to reverse aging....😀 and out other two foster kids are still young. 💓So they won't think about dating for 7 more years hopefully...).

@Caz Pedroso I know that when Dennis and I go out, Dennis holds the door for me. Dennis and I got taught that you should hold the door open for females (or feminine male, like me 💓). I know some parents aren't teaching that, but we are! Gifts on the first date and flowers should be bought...

Speaking of manners...when did it become common practice for menfolk to leave the cubicle door hanging wide open when they do #1?  <_< For ****'s sake!! I've seen it happen no less than FIFTEEN times this week, and it's only Wednesday!!   :pissed:

Glad it make you think of me, Gary.

I have to admit that I think Johnny Cash did one of the best versions, though. :unsure2:
