My dad always made us boys wear a butch or burr you all call it down south. When my mother left my dad, my mother still wanted us to have short hair but she did not have any control over the matter.
Sorry Mom,

Took a trip and never left the farm
When I was young my mother left me with some other people my mother thought were christians but were into drugs and alcohal, I got heavily involved and had a lot of worldly friends that were too. I left the state and came back and all my old friends were heavy into meth, and they all are either dead now or in prison.
I never believed that there would be a day that I could quit but I have. It has been about 10 years sense I quit.
If wantstoleave still wants to know what shotgun means it is when some one puts the left hand cigarette in their mouth backwards and blows the smoke into yours.
Been there done that just don't remember much

When I was about 5 we watched this Grizzly bear movie. I convinced myself that I would and could whip up on that bear. I wasn't afraid of no monsters when I was awake but every night in my dreams I had the same monster chasing me until one night I confronted the monster and he left me.

Just hear say on my part, but a relative of mine that was an elder was getting intoxicated before giving talks and slurring his words. He was told to step down as an elder or be DF. He has changed sense, and does not lecture me any more.
I did see a man at an assymbly giving a talk with his familly collaps, and he was caught before he hit the floor and drug off the stage. Don't know what the deal was but they soon anounced that he was alright.

There is going to be gambling in the new system of things. I know this because the JW's told me there is going to be a pair of dice.
I asked an elder "if it were wrong to buy a raffle ticket?" He said that was up to the individual to decide.
I dicided that it would be alright as long as I don't spend beyond my means or abuse it.
I see a lottery ticket no different then a raffle ticket.
I see gambling no different then alcohalism. JW's beleive it is alright to drink alcohal, but not to abuse it,

You reminded me of a time I was on a winning streak. Going across the border to by tickets, and won every time. Started with $2,600 then $100 or $50 each time. My boss sent me to buy him a $100 worth of tickets @ $1 each, and I bought myself one ticket. None of my bosses tickets where winners but my one ticket brought $50.
All that winning caused me to get addicted to gambling, and I went to LasVegas. I was up another $600 for a couple of days. I don't know but it seem like the casino caught on to me. But any way I ended up loosing everything.
I don't gamble any more, but I do buy just one ticket when the lottery is really high.
Right now I beleive it is $150 million. Do you have the winning numbers?

If you have ever trained animals and been successful, you don't need to hit them, just the opposite. You will ruin a horse if you do.
Kids deserve even more respect and better treatment than that.
Really then it would make better sense to give the kid a treat for a trick or offer them a treat to behave at the KH, and if they don't mind don't give it to them. Or something.
Any thing would be better then beating them. Beating only makes the kid mad...
