My FIRST TIME ever getting this screen/message.
Any of y'all on any of their OTHER sites?

Yes, that has come up before. Sometimes it's several hours, but doesn't seem to be an issue now.

Yes! Can you drive your truck? Still have a windshield?

I need to get outside and work, but skunk residue is still around. Actually, I need to look for a body. Belle has killed 2 of them before.

When you say the big boys are gone, have they moved out?

No, they are with friends. They don't like being here.

And they are teenagers. It's what they do. Except for mine. Can't pry the older out with a crowbar!

The other day we went into a store that was a "boring mom store." I had them hold their hands together like they were praying. Every few minutes I'd tell bubba he was doing a great job, and if I forgot he'd say "mama I'm being good?"

DH and I were just talking about this exact thing. We don't want to reform him, we just want to modify his behavior. Constantly being in trouble can be demoralizing. It's just like with the puppy: redirecting attention instead of shouting "NO NO NO!" all day.

When my baby bro was this age he was like an undomesticated cave child. Mom bought him coloring books to keep in his desk that were ONLY to be used at school and only after he had finished his other work. He would fly through his assignment, get bored, and distract the other kids.

I would fly through my work, get bored, and read quietly to myself.

But 5 red faces in 10 days of school means something isn't working the way it was designed.
