  I thought the toilet paper decorated xmas tree, with the pic of the ole man on top, was very funny.

  Otherwise, yes, the formula is getting old.

  Men With Older, Uglier Women.....

  i liked all the fuss on the thread about younger girls.

  i once was a younger girl, and i could command any man to do what i wanted because i was beautiful and young.

  now that i am older and uglier, i have to use my wits.

  "Youth is wasted on the young" -George Bernard Shaw

  Just about anyone over the age of 40 knows exactly what George is talking about. Still cemented in my mind is the day I looked in the mirror and saw my mother staring back at me.

  So, the days I feel like crap, I try to count my blessings.

  I figure getting older is better than the alternative

  i know we've probably all seen the footage of steve irwin feeding a croc.

  while holding his baby in his hands 6 months ago.

  I just reread my comments on first post.

  LOL!

  I didn't LOVE getting injured, but I loved the time I spent caring for, and tending to the animals.

  Granted there are certainly degrees of risk, but when dealing with ANY animal there is a chance of being hurt. Even with the cute and cuddly ones.

  My sister had a horrible encounter with a cute cuddly little kitten. Problem was, unknown to her, it was part of a feral litter born in a hay barn several weeks before. When she picked it up, went to pull it up close when it attacked. The critter went crazy and she couldn't get it off her at first because of it's little sharp claws. She had several deep scratches and needed a couple of stitches in her hand.

  Y'know you could have memory loss ?!

  Just kidding with ya ... the comments just made me smile

  Actually, there are those occasions when the "horse-kick-in-head-memory-loss" thing could come in quite handy.

  I believe this was debated here when the whole thing first hit the press (sorry, for the bold)

  For Steve Irwin, who is around Crocs nearly everyday, it was probably just another day. Sometimes when we do something all the time don't realize how other people might react.

  I, for part of my childhood, grew up on a horse ranch. So, I was around horses most of the time. My parents owned the ranch, and so, having animals around all the time was normal for me.

  As a child I was: thrown and dragged ( I was 10 and quite injured) by a very expensive, well trained show horse

  bitten so many times I forget (various horses)

  kicked in the head (ouch)

  Horses falling on me

  Having my little feet stomped on so many times I couldn't even begin to count

  witnessed seriously injured horses having to be shot

  And those are the ones I come to the top of my head.

  I was never pushed by my parents. I loved every minute of it.

  It's also normal for the kids to become involved in what the parents do for a living. That's doesn't mean they are expected to follow in the parents footsteps.

  But if it's an area where reasonable people can disagree, then why not allow the kid--especially a teenager, and even more so a 17-year-old--to make their own decision?

  Oh, they can disagree all they want. I may be a "strict" parent, but I don't deny my children their opinions, and that I don't consider them in my decisions. I do. However, if I think it's offensive, it's not being played in my house. Avishai made a good point about there being other children, especially younger ones, that would have to be exposed to it. Which is the situation in my home.

  I know that I cannot completely isolate them from some of the violent, vulgar, sexist, and degrading music that out in the world. But, I'm not going to validate its existence by allowing it into my home. If the 17 year old wants to hear it so badly, he/she can wait until they are 18 and out of the house.

  Only if everyone agrees what is 'negative'

  I'm the one that decides what is acceptable in my home. I couldn't care less if my kids "agree" with me. When they are footin' the bill they can listen to whatever their hearts desire.

  Now, if you meant that everyone is of the same mind what is "negative", well, good luck with that one. We are talking teenagers here. I don't think I have to say "well, this word is ok, and this one isn't". It's the context and the message that is sent. That, sometimes, has to be decided on a case by case basis. So, my teenager best not plunk down her dough on a CD if she believes that I just might find it offensive. It would be better to get the OK from me before buying.

  I need some advise (I want to get divorced)

  i'll start this post off by saying i love my wife, she has beautiful qualities and a sweet personality.

  however i realize (and i think she does too, though she may not admit it) that since i left the org behind our goals and viewpoints are no longer unified.

  as a couple we rarely fight or argue, we still have many of the same values but yet we have some issues that i know will never be fully resolved.

  Thank you for sharing your experience, Winston. It was articulate and heart breaking.

  I wish you both well.
