Humeur actuelle :  aigri
I just had to vent a little because I just plain don't understand some people.  Parents in particular.  And as a long distance sort of parent one gets to feel helpless.  So from here - I vent.

When your children have a falling out with a friend and begin to fight and disagree that's a normal part of life.  If they don't like each other anymore then common sense dictates for them to just leave each other alone.  But sometimes things escalate and emotions run high and the next thing you know you have a really nasty (and dangerous) full fledged feud going on.

As parents, that is when they need to step in and get involved and have a discussion (I'm talking about Parent - to - Parent) and either have them make peace - or agree to hate each other and leave each other alone and move on with their lives.

I agree sometimes things happen, people grow and change, everyone makes mistakes and you can't be friends with everyone but what is absolutely wrong is when one parent gets down on the child's level and decides to corner the other child and proceed to give them the "what for".  This is WRONG.  That is MY child and it is MY job to correct my child when they are wrong, not you and your shopping cart.  That's why I say if my children are misbehaving you SPEAK to me and together, as parents, we sort it out - but you TOUCH my kids - then the story changes altogether. 

We all want to believe that our children are angel's and can do no wrong but what SHOULD have happened was a phone call to the other PARENT and ask for a conference about what is going on between our two children.  There are two sides to every story and when things escalate to threats and hateful behavior that is when a PARENT - an ADULT - needs to step in and as parents we put a stop to it instead of getting down on the child's level and becoming an active participant in the drama which I believe does have legal ramifications as to who can and cannot get physical with my child.

Therefore I say if anyone has a problem with my children then you bring it to MY attention and as ADULTS we Communicate, CORRECT and RAISE our children - - but if you take it upon yourself to attempt to discipline my child in the manner that was described to me - then you will ANSWER to me and whatever law applies.  That was just wrong. 

Also understand that I realize my children are not perfect - they are children and as children they make mistakes - but it's MY job to correct them and NOT yours.  Don't you ever dare come near my child again that way.  I will make sure that you do not.

Now-- Nuff Said.

Peace, Love, and Get Over It.

This is long...but the truth and worth it...I know this - because I've gone through this...no joke.


HOW TO GIVE A CAT A PILL.....

   1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if
   holding a baby.  Position right forefinger and thumb on either side
   of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding
   pill in right hand.  As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow
   cat to close mouth and swallow.

   2. Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa.  Cradle cat in
   left arm and repeat process.

   3. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away.

   4. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm, holding
   rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to
   back of mouth with right forefinger.  Hold mouth shut for a count of
   ten.

   5. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe.
   Call spouse from garden.

   6. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front
   and rear paws.  Ignore low growls emitted by cat.  Get spouse to
   hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into
   mouth.  Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.

   7. Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap.
    Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains.  Carefully sweep
   shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for
   gluing later.

   8. Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head
   just visible from below armpit.  Put pill in end of drinking straw,
   force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.

   hinges.  Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch.  Pour shot, drink.
   Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last
   tetanus shot.  Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect.  Toss
   back another shot.  Throw Tee shirt away and fetch new one from
   bedroom.

   12. Call fire department to retrieve the damn cat from the tree
   across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while
   swerving to avoid cat.  Take last pill from foil wrap.

   13. Tie the little bastard's front paws to rear paws with garden
   twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy-duty
   pruning gloves from shed.  Push pill into mouth followed by large
   piece of filet steak.  Be rough about it.  H old head vertically and
   pour two pints of water down throat to wash pill down.

   14. Consume remainder of scotch.  Get spouse to drive you to the
   emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and
   forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye.  Call furniture
   shop on way home to order new table.

   15 Arrange for SPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and call local
   pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

I just read a news story that really got my dander up.

(http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/18/henley.lawsuit/index.html)

It appears that a politician running for office in the U.S. Senate (Charles DeVore - http://www.chuckdevore.com/blog.asp?artid=25) took the music to Boys of Summer and also the music to "All She Wants to Do is Dance" - great songs of Don Henley's (Eagles) - and put his own words to them and made political ads out of them.

Don Henley is suing for copyright infringement and rightly so - and I personally hope the candidate loses his *ars* in BOTH the Senate race AND the lawsuit.

The Senate hopeful posted his videos on YouTube - which YouTube took down due to Don Henley expressing his copyright. Mr. DeVore's comment to this on his website was: "YouTube has pulled our second parody at the request of another liberal artist. We will be posting the second version on another server soon."

The CNN article quotes Chuck DeVore as stating "While the legal issues play out, it's time to up the ante on Mr. Henley's liberal goon tactics."

Firstly, Mr. Asshole- errr DeVore: Mr. Henley is by no stretch a "Liberal Goon". He's an artist, unlike yourself who cannot come up with his own commercial due to lack of talent. You think that by STEALING an artists music and changing the words is "Political Free Speech" - BULLSHIT. By STEALING and infringing on Mr. Henley's music you are insinuating that Mr. Henley endorses you in some way by giving you permission to use his material. You sir, are a thief.

Secondly- politicians nowadays think they can TELL the American people that "we are going to give TRILLIONS of YOUR dollars to GM, AIG, Mexico and Pakistan without even asking us -- NO REPRESENTATION WHATSOEVER. And now YOU come along and say I'm going to use your music to get my ass elected and there is nothing you can do about it under the guise of "political free speech"?

You are an arrogant self centered ELITEIST who is mouthing whatever anyone wants to hear and stealing the music of an American ICON for his own selfish GAIN.

It seems that I can't hear a speech without some politician TELLING us about who is getting TRILLIONS of OUR BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS.

I guess I'm coming to really hate politicians at this point - THIS politician's "HOLIER THAN THOUGH I CAN DO WHAT I WANT" CRAP has me VERY disappointed in our choices for government.

I hope our legal system is still marginally intact and Don Henley wins this one. If he doesn't -- then something has gone VERY wrong with our country.

Peace, Love and Chicken Grease,

Bob
