  You are right...there are so many acts of violence anymore, you just never know what will happen. I think you did the right thing in leaving, then finding the officer. I wouldn't pay for crap on his vehicle, afterall if he hadn't been acting like a madman you certianly wouldn't have scratched his truck trying to get away from him. Man I hate people like him, they think the world revolves around them and everyone should read their mind.....a$$hole!!!

  Amazing, he can make a video, sing the song, not to mention write the song,.....but yet a 13 year old witness caught listening to the music would be under scrutiny.

  i have a teenage daughter and she is very lazy.

  we have to get on her constantly to get her room clean, when asked about her progress, her answer is always"i am working on it".

  then when we check, it is usually worse than the day before.

  Abaddon....we sat down last Saturday night with her for 3 hours and just talked about her life, what is going on and how she is feeling. She comes to us with alot of things all the time, she knows she can talk to us. We tried to explain to her that with both of us working long hours and physical jobs that she would need to help out with housework, mainly just pick up after herself. We told her she would get an allowance for her help as well for motivation. She simply just doesn't care. We do follow through with our threats, that is why no t.v., video games, books and limited clothing to wear.

  I have a teenage daughter and she is VERY lazy. We have to get on her constantly to get her room clean, when asked about her progress, her answer is always"I am working on it". Then when we check, it is usually worse than the day before. We have removed all video games, t.v.'s and even books, but still no progress. I went through her clothing with her and made her get rid of 3/4 of her clothes because she threw them all over the floor and I was sick of washing clean clothes. She takes it upon herself to go to the swimming pool all day and not call and tell us where she is. My hubby works 7 days and I work 5 very long and physical days. What can we do? Any suggestions would be helpful. Grounding doesn't work, taking away priveledges don't work and she just ignores them most the time cause there is nobody home during the day to moniter. She leaves empty pop cans everywhere, she is just becoming very disrespectful and over sloppy. We have tried to reason with her, but it just goes in one ear and out the other. We have tried yelling...same thing. Nothing is working here. Anyone have any suggestions here? I have even gone to the extreme measure of threatening her with Kingdom hall attendance, but I can't wish that hell on anyone, plus it would just backfire anyway...lol.

  She is too young to get a job yet, and although I could take her with me to work, she would hold up my schedule so I would have to work even later. I have no family or friends close by to help out, plus they all work as well.

  Please, if anyone out there wants to write a nasty comment, pleaese don't. I have raised this girl on my own for the past 8 years with no child support or assistance. This has happened suddenly over the past few months, just need some input from experienced parents out there.

  Thanks!!!!

  i was able to totally rework my kitchen about 5 years ago.

  with limited funds we found premade cabinets very cheap.

  we made them fit.

  Tile is an awesome alternative here. If you have a curve to the corner of your countertops just take a skilsaw and cut them flat and flush. I did this to my old laminate countertops and they look spectacular. You can do a simple pattern or get real funky and try a mosaic pattern. Plus, the cost is about a third of granite countertops.

  when i did janitorial work, i cleaned a law office.

  one night, as the owners were leaving, they told me that one of the attorney's, by the name of bill, was leaving to work for a different firm.

  for the next couple of months, though, i kept seeing this attorney there, working.

  I was in an empty townhome today painting, and kept getting the feeling of someone watching me or standing right behind me. Plus, the doors kept opening and shutting themselves... no breeze was going through. Kinda weird
