Stanima dog?

Ok, i want to get a dog that has a lot of stanima. I like to roller blade A LOT and the michigan weather get sorta hot and humid in the summer and wet and cold in winter. Im worried about maybe a huskey getting over heated while roller blading. And a dog that would be able to SORT OF pull me. ( I DONT make the dog pull me all of the way, as i am a dog walker) I just want a dog that will be healthy and happy and not get over heated or too cold. What is the best choice?

Stanima dog?
your best bet would be to look at your local shelters. they have many husky mixes or any other type of breed that suits exactly what you are looking for. since you can provide a lot of exercise i'm sure they have tons of dogs looking for a home just like yours. as long as you can provide vet care and training as well. try www.petfinder.com





there are hundreds of young adult dogs who would love to come home with you and be your roller buddy!
Reply:dalmations were bred to run with the fire carriages, so they have a lot of stamina. it wouln't get too hot b/c it has a short coat. there are plenty of breeds that want and need lots of exercise. just do some research to find which breed is best for you. good luck
Reply:have u look at Austrailanshepard they are very active an will go all day an are very loving http://www.tkaustrailianshepards.com/
Reply:I'd suggest a standard sized Poodle. The big poodles, I've seen a poodle compete in the sport where the dog (s) pull a skier in the snow, so I'm sure it could pull you easily on skates, also these dogs are high in energy so you can expect the dog not to get tired soon. For summer months you could shave the dog and for winter months you can let the coat lengthen. Huskies are fine in almost any weather, you see Huskies living in Florida or California, even Arizona all year round with no problems even though it can become intense heat in those states. As long as you allow breaks and keep the dog fully hydrated you should have no problems with getting a Husky.

Whats the t.v. show?

They were roller blading. And the guy was from California or something. He meets this chick and they go into a plant house. He goes skating around the place, and surprises her. The one guy is like a total goofball and tries to get a date. Umm..he surfs then he tries to roller blade.

Whats the t.v. show?
Air Borne.......I'ts actually a movie and the goof ball was played bt Seth Greene.
Reply:It was filmed mostly in Cincinnati, Ohio. Lots of hills and winding roads.

How to rollerblade without falling?

are there any links to tell u how to roller blade withoguth falling? or keeping ur legs balanced? cause when i roller skate i can go but cant stop and soemtiems fall.. or i think its too big for me so it makes it go to the side and thats y i lose balance but still what are some tips and tricks on how to be better at it?

How to rollerblade without falling?
Well the only way you can rollerblade without falling 100% is getting used to the rollerblade which means you gotta practice. If i were you i would try rollerblading with someone to keep an eye on you. Eventually you will get the flow, and you will feel like a natural with skates. If i were u i would check the size of the blades 2. It might be too big for u.
Reply:Hold on to something
Reply:keep your knees bent and don't be so stiff, if that doesn't work, you could always get training wheels lol.
Reply:Make sure you bend you knees and shoulders so that if someone was to look on you from above, your shoulders, knees and toes would all be equal.





When you are trying to stop, try a T stop. Keep one foot heading forward. LIFT the other one, and then gently drag it along behind you . Your feet make a T shape.





Also make sure that your blades are done up correctly, if they are too lose they are no good. When rolling make sure your blades are upright, as in you're not skating with the wheels on a massive angle.

Should I do this and fall to purposely get hurt?

I'm thinking about going roller blading right now. I love roller blading, I'm really good.





I don't know why, but I'm thinking about going to my middle school to roller blade around the parking lot...and purposely fall, to get a big scrape across my arm. No one's there because its late, so no one will see. I don't know why, but I want to do this. I think I will at least try.





Is there some psychological reason behind this?

Should I do this and fall to purposely get hurt?
Well, there could be a lot of motives you may have that you don't realize.





-Perhaps (and this could be totally wrong.. don't worry, I'll give more motives) you wish to do this so you can show off the scrape? It'd make you seem more dedicated and hard core-- could that be it?





-Maybe you want a scrape to prove yourself to yourself. Someone who would get scrapes from any activity (accidentally) is the type who is dedicated enough to go through pain to get better at it.





I'm thinking the second objective for you. It's like this: visualize someone who feels like they've been through a lot, but maybe really hasn't in the big scheme of things. Maybe they want the "chip on the shoulder" of having a tough life to feel like a better person- would you have a greater respect for a man who opened his own ice cream shop and grew up with loving parents, or someone who opened his own shop and grew up with parents who were abusive and threw him out? Most would say the second man, because (although he did the same thing that the other man did), his achievement seems harder to come by because of his hardships. Someone who imagines their life to be worse than it is could be aiming for that same respect- even if it just comes from within.





I think you are looking for the credibility of a person who is dedicated enough to fall and hurt themself while blading- just so, what you do, and how you work, and what your life is like makes you feel better for being you.





But you shouldn't do it! Think about this: you'll feel really good about who you are for you if you start to appreciate what you already do awesome in life and your own hardworking capabilities. You don't need a scrape to prove anything to anyone else- or just yourself.
Reply:I bet you're thinking along the same line that Steven Krane was when he wrote 'Red Badge of Courage'. Not sure of the spelling of Krane.





In "Red Badge.." the main character needs a wound to prove to himself he's the master of the battlefield. No matter that the wound he gets is from being slugged by one of his own army guys.





Anyway, it's a complex emotion.
Reply:Have you ever gotten in an accident like that and in return gotten a lot of attention later on? Maybe that’s what you’re seeking for; the love and attention you get from people when you’re hurt.
Reply:Hurting yourself on purpose would be a psychological problem. Either you don't feel pain properly, or have a strange idea of how to get attention... Neither are good.
Reply:Attention! -- Or you want to see if you still feel?


Or you want to see what its like to get hurt doing that?

dog skin problem

My knees and my ankles hurt? =S?

it started this week, and it's really annoying. When i go down stairs my ankles will have pain in them and my kneez ( for kneez a bit) Like i use to be able to run perfectly but all of sudden i realized that my kneez and ankles hurt when i ran ?? im 16 years old, 5ft 8". I weight about 180 pounds, but this is normal i could run just fine with the same weight. Like when i ran i felt the pain a little but it's when i try to stop when it hurts. Just today i was running and after that there was alot of pain in my kneez and ankles. i just wanna know if this is something serious, like the pain is bearable, it doesn't hurt like mad or anything. It's just annoying. O and when i roller blade like even when i roller blade really fast, i dont feel that pain as often. It's only when pressure is put on it that it hurts. Going down stairs ect. pls hellppp!!! i dont wanna give up soccer, baseball, track, and ice hockey =(

My knees and my ankles hurt? =S?
possible strain, or even developing stress fractures?


With all your exercise, do you wear properly fitted athletes shoes? Different ones for all your sports? If you are getting pain running, that would be the first thing ti look at.

Where do I honestly go from here?

So i had a guy I was dating for 3 years. and its been about a year that we have not seen each other. And well today we met up so he can get his roller blades..he asked.. and when i saw him he had his new girlfriend with him. But the only thing he could talk about was our past or about how crazy and weird the relationship was with her. now i dont know what to think but he spent about twenty minutes with me till she came out of the car and walked over. thatn he came in to my work to get a drink. and still stayed in there to talk to me. now the one thing that was a little strange was that he kept asking me how my newer relationship was. so i felt the need to lie to him and say great, when really it sucks. what do i do.i still love him and cant let go. where do i go from here?

Where do I honestly go from here?
he wants to reconnect to you, if you really want to hook up with him, see how he fully feels, do more investigation. He might be generally just nice and trying to find common ground to talk to you.
Reply:Send him an email saying it was great to see him again. End with Keep in touch. See what happens.
Reply:Well he is with someone, so its selfish to hurt that girl, but it sounds like he hasnt gotten over you yet. you shouldnt lie, u have to be honest. women do big mistakes, lying and going around a story to fit the other persons needs or if that lady is insecure but seriously, your doing more damage, to you and to him, especially both of your relationship, so.... be honest .. go for lunch as friends , without his gf and talk about things, youll be surprised what he might say, it is being self confident about situations and learning to deal with them in a mature way.

Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?

for his 18th birthday she bought him a 1962 corvette stingray. and gave me roller blades for my 18th birthday. his college tuitiion was paid for plus she got money for living expenses, i had to take out a $50000 loan. now for his 30th birthday she is building him a house at Hilton Head. She is now allowing me to stay at home for my last year of college as long as i pay rent ($350/month + 1/2 of utilities and gas for the car). i'm much darker than the rest of my family...perhaps i was adopted...i need to look into this..any suggestions ?

Why does mom love my older bro so much more ?
haha with the difference in skin tone sounds like you were probably just a mistake from the mailman!! She probably can't stand you and wishes you never were...! Dude like seriously i saw this stuff on CSI and they can find your real dad... forget your mom, steal her money and run w/ it!
Reply:Woah. Ask her. Confront her.


Honestly, I would have.


Use your examples.





"Mom, we need to talk." Sit her down. "I want to be treated fairly, I would appreciate it if you listened, to the whole thing"


Pause. "I think you are treating me and _your_bro's_name_ differently. I feel upset you are treating him better." Let your mom respond. "For his 18th birthday, you got him a car. I got roller blades." Pause "His colledge tuition was paid for, aswell as living expenses. Why was mine not? Why do I have to pay rent for living with you? Why for his 30th birthday you're getting him a house?" Let her respond. "I want to be treated fairly.." That's what I'd say.
Reply:How old are you??


You said building him a home at Hilton Head for his 30th


but you are allowed to stay home for your last year of college.


So you are still in college...just wondered if your life style may be something that she does not approve of..have you ever had a big disagreement with her that she may still be holding


over your head. Do you and your brother have similar personalities? I just have questions because wonder what could be the reason..Is she closer to him . Like he visit more or suck up ??? Got to be something we didn't hear.
Reply:talk to her....be open and honest, its all you can do.


explain to her how you feel, be calm and genuine, and if she reacts badly then....her loss


dont let her favouritism ruin your life, make the effort to straighten it out and if she doesnt respond, try and move on...i know its difficult and you've got a right to be upset but dont let it take over your life


good luck xox
Reply:i say bring it up with her. it sounds like extreme favoritism. she should know how it makes you feel. and i guess you can look into the adoption thing
Reply:My god your mum sounds like a *****. You should confront her about this before you do something that you regret.

Am I self absorbed?

OK so heres the deal I've just moved to a much smaller place which is hard cause I'm maybe used to a little luxury, but I'm still intact with the real world, I'm gonna start a new school. Naturally I'm nervous, and the place which I'm going to has UNIFORM, and its fugly. I have a little bro and sis which are great, and I do try and help mum when I register she might need help. Me and dad dont have the best relationship, he called me fat once, it really hurt. Mum agrees but she'd never say it to my face. While unpacking I thought that if I find my old roller blades me and mum could go out around the park or something, be healthy.





I told her about my idea and she started snapping at me telling me I was so self absorbed 'all I ever think about is myself' . I dont think thats true, can you people please tell me if I'm self absorbed and what the hell my mum is thinking? (and please leave out the whole stupid teen part, its quite offensive)


thanks!

Am I self absorbed?
no not at all.. idk what your parents are thinking, but anyone going through problems is going to be upset and want to talk about it w/ other people. and its great your trying to help your parents. i know personally with my dad too, he always thinks hes right, saying this and that, but he doesn;t understand at all. you have to be right there and go through exactly what your going through to understand. im sorry i hope everything gets better, but your deff not self absorbed!
Reply:Your mom might be stressed from the moving. But that doesn't give her an excuse. You aren't self absorbed at all for wanting to spend time with her. Give her some space then when things get less busy, talk to her about it and tell her she hurt your feelings
Reply:You're mom might just be stressed from the move and having to put you kids into different schools. Try sitting down with her and asking her if everything's ok, and just let her know you were only wanting to spend some quality time with her amid all the chaos you all have been going through lately.

Why are Segways so expensive?

They cost an arm and leg


almost 3,000 for a used one! And 5,000 for a new one.





Honestly what is their purpose and why alienate the majority of the buyer's market to appeal to wealthier people?





I'd rather buy a very expensive skateboard set, a pair of roller blades, a pro mountain bike and even a used civic instead of those overpriced pieces of crap.

I want to be healthy but....?

I'm 5 ft 150 lbs but I hate working out on machines it's not fun!! I like to rollerblade, jump on my pogostick, ride my bike and take my dogs for a walk (all 3, with my mom) is this as good as exercising on a treadmill? I live in PA, and let's just say last weekend (Saturday) it SNOWED. Yeah...Pa is still cold. It's around 46-50 or something degrees here. So is it ok to go outside to exercise on my bike, roller blades, pogo stick...? Thanks and if I do one of those every day (well almost every day) will I lose weight thanksss


BTW I eat healthy

I want to be healthy but....?
riding your bike and stuff is just as good as working on a machine. on a machine its just a more constant work out. theres not point in wasting your time on one if your not having fun though. worrying about that kinda stuff just kinda ruins ur day though. enjoy yourself what ever your doing. if you worked out alllll the time and constantly worried about it sure you would be healthy but whats the point of having a healthy body if you cant enjoy it.
Reply:All of those are great exercises, and they'll help you burn off calories very well. Just eat healthy, and cut down on any red meats. Animal fat is the worst thing when you try to lose weight. It's why vegetarians always seem to be healthier.

Is there a difference between men's and women's skates?

Is there a difference between men's and women's in-line skates? I was looking at roller blades, but I want to buy the ones that will fit my feet the best.

Is there a difference between men's and women's skates?
There is a difference in sizing, but the best way to find skates that fit you (no matter what type of skates you are buying) is to try them on. When buying roller blades/in-lines specifically, just make sure that your ankles don't bend inward. You should be able to EASILY stand straight up with your ankles and knees directly over your skates. If they are too big, you can cause yourself some SERIOUS ankle problems! Not to mention that skates that are too big will cause blisters (from the friction of your feet moving inside the boot)!





GOOD LUCK!
Reply:men and womens skates have totally diffent sizes.





mens skates are wider and spacious





womens skates are tighter and have a smaller size.

Does anyone know of this cartoon?

Ok I remember there was this 2d cartoon in the 90s where the main character was a boy with a team of robots that fought a team of evil robots. Each robot was different there was one that was a ninja, one on roller blades etc. And they rode around in these huge vehicles. Also I think it was integrated with 3D portions where they would say "Time to put on your 3D shades" and you could watch the action sequences in 3D.





I hope I'm not just imagining this... Anyone know what it was called?

Ceaser Milon?

My brother watches dog whisperer and all of a sudden he thinks he knows more about dogs than I do. Who pleaded to get a dog for monthes? Me! Who did research on Google for three hours a day? Me! Who looked up the best breeds of dogs? Me1 Me! Me! ME! He also makes up common scense rules. My parents don't do anything, so what do I do? I keep my feelings bottled up which I know is not healthy. How do I tell my brother that I know more about dogs than him? How do I tell him ceaser (salad) only helps the owners to show the owners how to teach their dog new tricks?Added note- Ceaser's roller blades are weird!

Ceaser Milon?
Here's my analogy of Cesar Milan.





A few years back the Atkins Diet craze hit. Many jumped on the bandwagon and got temporary results. Meanwhile, nutritionists stood by and shook their heads - knowing that this was INSANE.





Same thing with Cesar Milan. He has no education or credentials. Anyone with any actual knowledge of dog behavior knows he's a hack. His methods may work temporarily, but in the long run - all you do by training a dog that way is create a ticking time bomb.





Glad to hear that most of you are seeing this guy for what he really is.
Reply:Yes, his methods are old and generally ineffective. Also, none of the dogs on the show seem to like him, which amuses me since he is apparently the "Dog Whisperer." He doesn't even have a graduate level education, which obviously shows through his methods. He is not technically a dog behaviorist or psychologist (he would need a master's or doctorate for that). Rather, he is a dog trainer that got his own tv show and seems to make the pet psychology field look ridiculous.
Reply:first of all i think the dog whisperer is a load of bull b/c the same friggin thing happened to me. i've been workin my but off @ a pet store since my parents opened it. i learned ligitamate ways on how to train your pet and what chemicals work and what doesn't and my grandparents started watching that stupid show and know they think they know the best way to train my dog. The "dog whisperer" does have some good, proven ways of training but also aloyt of them are just crackpot things that he films when it works and doesn't film when it doesn't work.





that bitter apple spray incident, that stuff does wirk, if you use it the way your supposed to, and your deffinately not supposed to spray it on there face, tell your genious brother to read the back label! but finding a way to prove to your brother that he's kind of an idiot, just let him read all of your responses to your question!





have fun proving him wrong
Reply:tell him to research Cesar, that he IS being sued for a dog that was injured on his premisis (he was not there, but staff used the treadmill, the dog now has 20000 worth of damage, and the owner is only suing for vet costs!)


he gets bitten, OFTEN. They don't show all of the cases on the show.


MOST dog behaviorists think that his ways are bad, they were used 20+ years ago.





There is a group here on yahoo. dogbehaviourscience look it up, then start reading about Ceasar. But don't ask about him, its been gone over a billion times, just look in past postings!





and yes, the added note was nessecerry. GRAB THE BOTTLE AND THROW IT OUT!
Reply:I watch "Emergency Room Vets", but I'm not qualified to offer medical advice to anybodies pet.


I watch "Animal Cops", and I'm not familiar with all the animal rights laws.


I watch "CSI", and I'm not a police investigator.


I could go on with this, but tell your brother to read the disclaimer at the beginning of the "Dog Whisperer".
Reply:Ceasar Milan is a hack, and his methods are abusive. If your brother thinks he knows everything about dogs because he learned it from Ceasar, he is wrong. You could do better by going to Pet Smart and buying a book than by taking advice from Ceaser Milan.





Note: If anyone ever sprayed chemicals in my dog's face for any reason other than self-defense, they would leave on a stretcher.
Reply:You seem to have more of an issue with your brother than with Ceaser. Your brother is just being a brother....a pain in the butt....that is what they are for. Yes, it is annoying when they are being show off, know it alls. Think of it this you will have the last laugh. Don't keep you feelings bottled up either......punching bags are a good way to release anger. By no means does this mean that you are to string your darling brother up by his neck and punch him!





I have heard what Ceaser has said, I have seen a part of his show once. I saw more than I needed or wanted to. I didn't agree with what he was doing, in fact many years ago (long before he was on TV), I tried exactly what he was showing on TV and it failed....in fact that was the point I turned off the show. From what I understand Ceaser has a good personality and he is a very charming man, therefore good TV. If he stops only ONE person from beating on a dog that is a good thing.





I have met several people who watch the show, some have never even owned a dog.....but they are now expert dog trainers.





WELCOME to the world of dogs!!! This is how is it. You take everything with a grain of salt. You learn to smile.





As far as that Bitter Apple goes. Product end use is not spraying it in someone's face it is meant to be spray on something. I believe you all ready pointed that out. Don't do it. I do not personally believe in spraying anything in a dog's face to stop a behavior. But that's me. If you feel the need to do this, plain water would to the trick. Throw the stuff out or instruct your brother to use only as directed on the label.





Maybe you can try to get your brother interested in those home repair or car repair shows. Then he maybe just start being master carpenter or mechanic and stop being a dog trainer.
Reply:the main thing about the Dog Whisperer is that he is teaching people you don't have to beat, choke, stave, or kick a dog to teach it. The Dog Whisperer sees dogs under almost crisis situations. AND do you think they will televise any of his mistakes or dogs his methods don't help?





I think he is great! BUT! The Dog Whisperer does not give the dogs enough credit for intelligence. He purely views them as animals. I have one dog who is so smart I can take him anyplace with out preparation. He has not been trained. He is just very intelligent. He really understand about 60 words, not commands. He even talks back with snorts. ( all he really wants to talk about is food though)





The Dog Whisperer is good. You should recognize that and adopt some of his methods But dogs are like people, all different. Your brother should recog nise the The dog Whisper is after all a TV program. NOt total reality.





MY GOD that is abuse!! REAd the directions they say not to spray on th edog!!!! BAth your dog quick! The poor thing! Tell your parents!!! And he does not spray his dogs in the face with anything!!!! TEll your parents we will poison your dog!!!! Of blind him!





Look kid if this is how you rbrother is you need to find a good home fo that poor dog. Find him a place where he is not abused. If I lived near you I woul report him to the Humane Society! If you rparents are allowing him to torture this poor dog they need reported to childrens services. Any child who tortures animals is very ill. Your brother needs help! And if you rparents don't get i tof rhim they need reproted to the proper authorities!
Reply:Just say "just because you watched the dog whisperer you don't have to pretend you can talk to them to. What do you really beleive in that stuff you loser"
Reply:Caesar has several good methods, however I do not agree with all of his methods. I do not feel holding a dog on the floor is right, that's just being a bully. I have used the 5 finger touch to redirect my dogs attention or to let him know I disapprove (as a pack leader or momma dog would do). Most of his methods are to show people you don't need to beat your dog to make him listen.





I know they don't show failed cases, but I have seen him tame the beast in many dogs.... of course they don't show you everything they had to go through to get the dog that far.





My father-in-law bought his book "Ceasar's Way", and yes, I've read it.





I've never heard him say, seen him use nor did I read it in his book anything about spraying a dog in the face with bitter apple. He doesn't use any chemical deterants, he uses "redirect". If the dog is chewing something they aren't supposed to, he redirects to something they are allowed to chew.





As far as his roller blades, yeah they do look a little weird. I rollerblade with my doberman every morning, and it helps expell energy and is great exercise.
Reply:Cesar Millan. Don't blame your brothers stupidity on Cesar. I was lucky enough to get Cesars help with a problem my dog had.Cesar is a very cool guy and knows his SH!T.He does not spray bitter apple on barking dogs, his methods are totally different than that. He would find out why the dog is barking I.E. aggression ,anxiety ,fear etc. and work on the issue more specifically.Bitter apple is to be sprayed on items to prevent chewing, not to be used as a weapon.More to point you and your brother need to be on the same page as far as how you train your dog, two different people and two different approaches will most likely make your dog 'Crazy'. Really put your dfferences aside for the sake of your dog. I suggest joining a group obeidience class together so you both learn and teach in similar ways.I also highly reccommend you watch the Dog Whisperer. Cesars methods do work and quite well. As far as the Law suit, it has nothing to do with his methods. He was exercising a dog that was very out of shape and had a hidden heart defect and had a heart attack,no one felt worse than Cesar..
Reply:Does it really matter who knows more about dogs? Caesar does not only teach dogs new tricks. He also helps dogs who have behavioral problems. If you really feel that way just tell him, or you could be the bigger person and just let him think that he does.

Facts of Life .................................

If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite.


A 3-year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.


If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a superman cape. (It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20X20 foot room.)


You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.


The glass in windows (even double pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.


When you hear the toilet flush and the words "Uh-oh", it's already too late.


Brake fluid mixed with bleach makes smoke, and lots of it.

Historic Ice Hockey Stage show?

I heard of a high school or university drama club putting on an original show about a small town hockey team winning a big championship. The show included re-enactments of crucial plays during the game (the actors wore roller blades and recreated the game situations on stage). Has anyone ever heard of such a show? What was the name of the production? Where was this show done? What was the team portrayed? I saw this on CBC out of Canada .

Dear santa.......funny??!!?

Dear Santa,





You must be surprised that I'm writing to you today, the 26th of December.


Well, I would very much like to clear up certain things that have occurred since the beginning of the month.





When filled with illusion, I wrote you my letter. I asked for a bicycle, and electric train set, a pair of roller blades, and a football uniform. I destroyed my brain studying the whole year. Not only was I the first in my class, but I had the best grades in the whole school.


I'm not going to lie to you, there was no one in my entire neighbourhood that behaved better than me, with my parents, my brothers, my friends, and with my neighbours.


I would go on errands, and even help the elderly cross the street.


There was virtually nothing within reach that I would not do for humanity.





So what balls you have leaving me a poxy yoyo, a lame whistle and a pair of ugly f**king socks. What the f**k were you thinking, you fat pr*ck, to think you've taken me for a sucker the whole f**king year and to come out with some s**t like this under the tree.


And as if you hadn't f**ked me over enough, you gave that little w**ker across the street so many toys that he can't even close his front f**king door.





So don't let me see you trying to fit your big fat asss down my chimney next year.


I'll f**k you up mother f**ker. I'll throw rocks at you retard reindeer and scare them away so you'll have to walk back to the f**king North Pole, just like what I have to do now since you didn't get me that f**king bike.


F**K YOU SANTA.








Lots of love,








Little Johnny

I need your best advice!?

Ok so theres this dorky kid who lives down the street and my brother is having a lot of trouble! His name is Brenton and my brother tries to be nice but all brenton does is steal stuff from him! My brother came in and hes like "Brenton probly stole a game (from his gamecube) and we checked madden '07 wasnt there we checked everywhere for it! Im very ...pis$ed at Brenton all he does is be mean and rude! list of things he does





1) Steals


2) Kicks people with roller blades


3) swears


4) cheats


5) shoves


and a lot more.... i think u got the point!





I think we need to call the athorites with this kid! HELP MY BROTHER!!

I need your best advice!?
if that were my brother, i would be straightfoward wit the little b@$t@rd. i would say; look kid, your really mean to my brother all the time and all he is is nice to you, but next time you steal anything of ours, we wont be so nice next time." and then if his parents ask you about it or something just say " well your child is bulling my little brother and i told himi to stop" or if you dont want to come in conatact with the family leave an anonymous letter on their doorstep at night saying what he does addressed to the parents.





these ideas are reasonable but i would kick the little b@$t@rd myself. oh and also go to the parents and ask for your game back, otherwise ask them to buy you a new one.
Reply:If you can prove he stole tell your parents if not than get evidence of his behavior and takeit to your parents so they can have a sitdown meeting with the offending twerps mother and father.
Reply:Tell your parents and your parents will take them to his parents. Or if this doesn't work do what he does and see how he feels like. If he does that at school he can get suspended. Or stop being friends with him.
Reply:Its only a matter of time before your brother is beat up,talked into doing something stupid with this kid.Get rid of him,talking to parents is cool,but often you find their just as foolish as their kids
Reply:You need to talk to your parents and see what they can do for you. They can go to Brenton's parents to see what is up. If the problem persists or gets worse, go to bigger authorities like the police. If he is stealing stuff from you, that is theft, which is a CRIME! good luck!
Reply:maybe hes trying 2 fit in but he doesnt know how to do it!
Reply:I guess Brenton`s parents will be no help, so you will have to keep him at a distance, til he is no longer a friend.
Reply:eat him!





or u could just tell him off and tell his parents and ur parents
Reply:Well, certainly sounds like Brenton is a problem.....I would suggest you talk to your parents first about all the things Brenton has done. Then ask your parents to go with you to Brentons house, to talk to his parents about his behavior. Bear in mind if he has been provoked, you and your brother will have to own up at that point and get the air cleared. See if his parents will check his room for the items stolen, and let them know you didn't trade those items, or give him the stuff. My son had thiefs for friends sometimes, and I did the very thing I am suggesting. It does work and we retrieved many items. Good Luck.......remember.....his parents may not know what he is doing....you can stop him....and this helps his parents know more about him.
Reply:Leave this dude alone.
Reply:have your parents talk to his parents and don't associate with him any more, the kid has serious issues and young people don't need that stress in their relationships.
Reply:Duct tape him to a wall.
Reply:brenton, brenton, brenton....you won't need to do much, it looks like. you could tell his mom or put him in a box and let all the kids throw rocks at him. pay no attention to the screaming! bet you are going to see him starring on juvie.com in the next couple of months.
Reply:Tell him (Brenton) that he is no longer welcomed on your property. You'd like to be his friend but he is preventing that from happening.

Name a "must-have" item from your favorite decade.?

Do you remember back in the 90s,80s,70s or whatever decade you wish to remember, wanting something because it was "cool." For example in the 90s, everyone wanted a scooter or roller blades. Earlier this century, everyone wanted the livestrong bracelets. And now its i-pods it seems. Our past has shown that these things are not important.

Name a "must-have" item from your favorite decade.?
Well, first let me say, all the "must -haves" that I wanted, I never got. And I still survived. My teen years were all spent in the seventies... in high school, I remember wanting a pair of Thom McAnn (sp?) lace-up granny boots. I saw them on other folks. I saw them in my favorite magazine (Seventeen), and I really, really, really wanted some for myself. Whenever I saw them at the mall, they were just way too expensive. Eventually, they went out of style, and I went off to college.. and eventually got into my 40's, and never did get those boots.


I had a nice pair of Roots Earth shoes, though. :-)





I envied my friends who could afford record albums, too. I never could afford records, but I did invest in a tiny transistor radio and enjoyed it most immensely.

Who wants to share this with me?!?
Some people just can't take a joke can they? Boo hiss to them!





Yes it comes as a shock to the kids when they realise that all the stuff mum used to do for them without question, they now have to do for themselves. When my daughter left college and got a job was aghast when I refused to give her pocket money as usual and when I said I was kind of expecting some money off her now I was the worst mother in the world!





I dunno. I coughed up my board to my parents every week without fail and I was still expected to do chores etc. Wouldn't have it any other way. It's only fair. My daughter realises now just how expensive it is to run a home as she has her own home now and her attitude is exactly the opposite of what it was. Do we do too much for our kids these days? Think we might.......

To even insinuate a Mother can't show her child affection is ludicris to say the least. You as a (so-called journalist) did not judge the poem on it's construction, you judged it on your on set of morals, the very morals that you say this writer cannot force upon her son. yet you try to force them on the gentle readers of the forum. She was not being abusive, she was teaching the son a life lesson and I bet he got the point too!


Showing him that sometimes you have to earn respect before it is granted to you.


I'm glad you grew up in a family that supported you, but some kids don't have that luxury. Your parents worked hard to give you what you have.


Don't be so judgemental of others. especially if your going to be a journalist. You must be Objective in your reporting. not bias. Tell the truth, but do not put your slant on it. just report what the event was.





As for the Poem by MOM


I thought it was splendid.


When you show them what it would be like out in the Big Bad World on their own, they sing a very different tune. Nothing wrong with taking away the comforts as a punishment. After all that is the only recourse the courts and Liberal Congress have allowed us as parents. Everything else is considered child abuse.
Reply:That's true, to me it imply's this generation doesn't think twice.
Reply:To answer your putative question:


No, I would not like to share this with you.





As a *gasp* teenager, I realize that I'm not exactly the target demographic for this, but seeing as you don't seem to have attracted a plethora of responses, I figured I'd chime in.





First, I thought I'd respond to your statement that this piece is considered "newsworthy."





I'm currently in journalism school, and I've learned in my classes that there are several characteristics that make up the quality of newsworthiness:


Very obviously, I would think, for something to be considered newsworthy, it must be news. This is not news, as it does not actually relate any event. It's just an arguably cute poem (other arguments may include "nauseatingly awful").


Another important quality for newsworthiness is timeliness - that is, a story should be current and relevant. As


a) Parents have been complaining about their children since the Ancient Greeeks


and


b) This poem mentions "VCR"s, which are no longer commonly in use


I have to conclude that this standard is not met either.





So, let's conclude that this is not exactly a piece of newsworthy, hard-hitting journalism, shall we?





Now, to the actual points that are being presented. First of all, many of them do not seem to be to be particularly radical. Hitting someone who is smaller, weaker, and unable to fight back constitutes child abuse. I don't know anyone who thinks that spanking a teenager is acceptable. Forcing physical affection on someone who does not want it constitutes sexual abuse.





By the time your children are teenagers, they have the right to form their own political, moral, and religious opinions, and to choose how they wish to behave in these arenas. If you've failed to convince them that your ideas are right, perhaps you're not a particularly effective teacher.





Children do indeed have freedom of speech. They are not excluded from the Bill of Rights on the basis of their age. As for the idea that children should be allowed to have their own THOUGHTS - that someone would think that is unacceptable is horrifying. Parents are supposed to be guides, not dictators, and the American ideal of freedom and independence should begin in the home.





Of course it is a parent's right to discipline a child by taking away privileges. However, I find the idea of a parent purposely spiting a child in a childish attempt to exact revenge for his or her declaring some measure of independence revolting, rather than amusing. I can't imagine what sort of mother would take smug pleasure from reducing her teenage son to tears.





To top it off, the poem is not exactly a masterpiece. If your message is that weak, you should at least stick to a rhyme scheme. Possibly, the writer's teenage son really was smart enough to put her in her place.





Sorry to rant for so long, but treacly tripe like this touches a nerve in me. I'll end with a positive thought and thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to have parents who respect and appreciate me, and who have treated me so that I respect and appreciate them. They are truly a source of inspiration for me and two of my best friends - and I'm glad that my mother is nothing like the one portrayed in this poem.





To end with a few apropos quotes:





"Recently a young mother asked for advice. What, she wanted to know, was she to do with a 7-year-old who was obstreperous, outspoken, and inconveniently willful? "Keep her," I replied.... The suffragettes refused to be polite in demanding what they wanted or grateful for getting what they deserved. Works for me." - Anna Quindlen





" Your children are not your children.


They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.


They come through you but not from you,


And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.





You may give them your love but not your thoughts,


For they have their own thoughts.


You may house their bodies but not their souls,


For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,


which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.


You may strive to be like them,


but seek not to make them like you.


For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.





You are the bows from which your children


as living arrows are sent forth.


The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,


and He bends you with His might


that His arrows may go swift and far.


Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;


For even as He loves the arrow that flies,


so He loves also the bow that is stable."


-Kahlil Gibran

How many of you thought this way!!!! (Funny)?

Haha i remember i used to think this way...





I love it!!!





Poem to MOM





My son came home from school one day,


With a smirk upon his face.


He decided he was smart enough,


To put me in my place.





"Guess what I learned in Civics Two,


that's taught by Mr. Wright?


It's all about the laws today,


The 'Children's Bill of Rights.'





It says I need not clean my room,


Don't have to cut my hair


No one can tell me what to think,


Or speak, or what to wear.





I have freedom from religion,


And regardless what you say,


I don't have to bow my head,


And I sure don't have to pray.





I can wear earrings if I want,


And pierce my tongue %26amp; nose.


I can read %26amp; watch just what I like,


Get tattoos from head to toe.





A nd if you ever spank me,


I'll charge you with a crime.


I'll back up all my charges,


With the marks on my behind.





Don't you ever touch me,


My body's only for my use,


Not for your hugs and kisses,


that's just more child abuse.





Don't preach about your morals,


Like your Mama did to you.


That's nothing more than mind control,


And it's illegal too!





Mom, I have these children's rights,


So you can't influence me,


Or I'll call Children's Services Division,


Better known as C.S.D."





Mom's Reply and Thoughts





Of course my first instinct was


To toss him out the door.


But the chanc e to teach him a lesson


Made me think a little more.





I mulled it over carefully,


I couldn't let this go.


A smile crept upon my face,


he's messing with a pro.





Next day I took him shopping


At the local Goodwill Store..


I told him, "Pick out all you want,


there's shirts %26amp; pants galore.





I've called and checked with C.S.D .


Who said they didn't care


If I bought you K-Mart shoes


Instead of those Nike Airs.





I've canceled that appointment


To take your driver's test.


The C.S.D. Is unconcerned


So I'll decide what's best. "





I said "No time to stop and eat,


Or pick up stuff to munch.


And tomorrow you can start to learn


To make your own sack lunch.





Just save the raging appetite,


And wait till dinner time.


We're having liver and onions,


A favorite dish of mine."





He asked "Can I please rent a movie,


To watch on my VCR?"


"Sorry, but I sold your TV,


For new tires on my car.


I also rented out your room,


You'll take the couch instead.


The C .S.D. Requires


Just a roof over your head.





Your clothing won't be trendy now,


I'll choose what we eat.


That allowance that you used to get,


Will buy me something neat.





I'm selling off your jet ski,


Dirt-bike %26amp; roller blades.


Check out the 'Parents Bill of Rights',


It's in effect today!





Hey hot shot, are you crying,


Why are you on your knees?


Are you asking God to help you out,


Instead of C.S.D..?"

Job change?

ok i am 19 and i was wondering i started a job last monday it was a ford dearlship as a porter i was makeing 8.00 per hour i never had a job like this i was always running i needed roller blades to keep up with this job did i do the right thing by qucking i did that today

Job change?
What? Can you use spell check? I would like to help but I dont understand the question
Reply:Although the job turned out to be something that is not for you, you should always give a notice before quitting. You will need these employers as references in the future. Never burn any bridges behind you when you leave a job.
Reply:Different people are cut out for different types of jobs, so if you quit, you simply felt like it wasn't working out for you, which is the best thing to do instead of sticking to a job you hate. Good luck to you!

What's the point in wearing heelys? Do they skate like regular skates?

Do kids and adults wear them or just kids? Can you skate fast like roller blades? Are they fun? I'm 30 am I to old for heelys?

What's the point in wearing heelys? Do they skate like regular skates?
i personally think they are annoying. i don't think i have seen adults wearing them, and you can't skate that fast (most stores and malls don't allow kids to use them inside) and yes i think your a bit too old.
Reply:I don't think any one's too old for heelys, if they make them in adult sizes, then anyone can get them. You can skate fast or slow, it depends on if the the wheel is abec 1, 3, 5, or 7. The higher the number, the faster they go. They're a BLAST.
Reply:I'm 33 and I would love to wear them if I found a pair. They're not as fast as regular skates because you only have a single wheel on each heel. But the cool thing about Heelys is that you can skate when you want and walk otherwise.
Reply:Heelys are mostly geared towards kids. Basically it's a shoe with 1 wheel in the heel so you have to use your heels to skate. I don't think they're as fast as roller blades and I think you might be too old for them.
Reply:well i got heeleys i never got to get used to them. no they do not skate like regulare skates

Subject: Fw: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE SON'S

5. You should not throw baseballs up when the ceiling fan is on. When using a ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit. A ceiling fan can hit a baseball a long way.





6. The glass in windows (even double-pane) doesn't stop a baseball hit by a ceiling fan.





7. When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh oh", it's already too late.





8. Brake fluid mixed with Clorox makes smoke, and lots of it.





9. A six-year old Boy can start a fire with a flint rock even though a 36-year old Man says they can only do it in the movies.





10. Certain Lego's will pass through the digestive tract of a 4 year old Boy.





11. Play dough and microwave should not be used in the same sentence.





12. Super glue is forever.





13. No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water.





14. Pool filters do not like Jell-O.





15. VCR's do not eject "PB %26amp; J" sandwiches even though TV commercials show they do.





16. Garbage bags do not make good parachutes.





17. Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.





18. You probably DO NOT want to know what that odor is.





19. Always look in the oven before you turn it on; plastic toys do not like ovens.





20. The fire department in Austin, TX has a 5-minute response time.





21. The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.





22. It will, however, make cats dizzy.





23. Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.





24. 80% of Women will pass this on to almost all of their friends, with or without kids.


80% of ! Men who read this will try mixing the Clorox and brake fluid.

2. Safety scissors WILL cut hair.


3. There are approximately 1,743 common household objects that will fit in the human ear.


4. Most of those take a doctor and two nurses 4 hours to remove.


5. Toddlers love to finger paint and given a full diaper will gladly paint you a mural.


6. All humans are born with the natural instinct to dump a bowl of spaghetti on their heads.


7. Taking a 3 and 5 year old to Toys-R-Us can burn more calories than a Marine Corps PRT.


8. When taking a child to the home improvement store never lose site of them, especially in the plumbing department near display toilets.


9. Angel fish do not like Doritos.


10. A dog is indispensible for accidental food spills and baby clean-up.


11. Little girls can get little boys to play the dumbest games....this ability only improves with age.


12. A child who is awake and quiet is up to no good.


13. Beanie babies do not flush well.


14. Never accept anything edible from a child.


15. A crayon is not a suitable pickle substitute on a sandwich.


16. Nor is shaving cream a suitable sundae topping.


17. TV remotes rarely work after being submerged in the aquarium.


18. At the age of puberty you suddenly see the nice little boy down the street for the son of satan he really is.


19. In fact just keep him home until he has graduated from the seminary and has been ordained.
Reply:omg uer soo weird just to spite u im not gonna pass it on loser moron weirdo.
Reply:I guess I was lucky because My 2 boys didn't do this stuff. My nephew hid in the dryer once and my son turned it on for a sec and scared them both...and me! It was louder than tennis shoes going clunk-de-clunk,especially when he started screaming!! Most of the time my boys took apart every electronic device they had! One is an electrician and the other is a tech with machinery,computers,lasers,etc. So I guess their self-education at home paid off!
