I had upset my daughter about something so she said," You don't act like a friend." To which, I promptly replied, "I'm not your friend, I'm your parent."
It too often appears that parents, today, want to be a 'buddy.'

Right on! Glad the tip was free! Ever here about blood and a turnip? That would be close to me. :-P :-P Thank you. Yes can be fun, and some DON"T have a sense of humor for sure. Oh I expect I'll be around a while longer, but probably a bit less as weather is getting better!
To answer your question, no, I don't believe I have.

You cannot get blood from a turnip.

Excellent post! I now know the reason for my mother's concern that her grandsons, "dress for success." and therefore the reason that she and my Dad worked hard to make sure that my siblings and I were always "presentable" as they would tell me often, people judge others before the first hello by how they look and then by the company they keep.
Thank you!
Thank you!
No, thank you, J. Not to get off topic BUT, I read somewhere that the whole process takes an average of five seconds, it's part of the "fight or flight response system. I also read that a woman knows if she will sleep with you or not, in half that time.

Sorry, what offer are you declining? Please tell me how your response has anything to do with what I said. How does dressing for success have anything to do with flight or fight? How does keeping the right company have to do with sleeping with a woman. Just color me CONFUSED!

I thoroughly agree. I have no arguments whatsoever... (show quote)
"rumi", I almost always have to read your posts more than three times before it sinks in, it's always been this way. I've not done that yet. Its weird, just the other day, which was probably a couple of weeks ago, I read one of you posts and I got it on the first try. I believe I may have commented. I'm going to give this one another try, but thank you for agreeing with me.... I think.

You said thank you at the end of your post and the response no(Iwould) thank you made perfect sense after Ireread it all a couple of times. Then it alters the topic to include other snap decisions.

Let me see. I agreed with you and added my personal experiences with my parents and my in-laws. I said thank you again at the end because you made a great point.
So you come back and decline the appreciation or what I learned from my folks.
And now you say that I altered the topic and included snap decisions.
Do I have it right?
If so, I am at lost of how to respond. So, I will just say your reply is appreciated.

lol, I can almost guarantee you the problem is my love of hearing my own voice; the less understandable, the more I need to talk.

Both students and teachers, have also rated photos of students in private school-type uniforms as having higher scholastic ability.
When I was in grade school the only children in our neighborhood who wore uniforms were the ones who attended Catholic school. I don't recall thinking they were any smarter than the rest of us. However, I do remember feeling some pity for them, knowing they were far more regimented, and far more likely to be abused with corporal punishment. Nothing like being taught by a repressed celibate cranky middle aged woman.[/quote]

Really Brian, all catholic school teachers that were in your area at that time, were as you just described? I see the word "abuse" used there, is there something you're trying to tell us?
What is it with you, and well... anything Catholic? It seems any chance you get to throw a dig at it/them, you can't resist, like a "crack head" looking for anything to use as a pipe. It really takes away from your posts.
