Pet Peeves

We are supposed to sign a statement giving the school the right to give our kid swats. I don't sign it, never have. I write, "If my kid needs swats, call me and I will come take care of it." I've never had to. They have other forms of discipline anyway, in-school suspension, after-school detention, etc.

WHAT!? there is schools that give spankings!? There is several kids that I went to school with and friends with kids now that could use a good swat. Yet, I understand.. it's better coming from the parent/guardian than a staff member from school.

The only kids who are afraid of being suspended are the ones who would never do anything to get suspended for.

That was me. Though out of my entire schooling I got one detention. That was because I showed up late to school two days in a row. Which wasn't my fault. My folks drove me and on those days they ran late and hit traffic. I lived almost 45 min from my school. When I went to detention, I was surprised that nearly ALL the kids were the "popular " ones and then there was me. The kid who didn't do anything. Some sort of punishment that was.. what a joke.

I think a swat from the teacher would make the students know that you should give the teacher the same respect you would give you parents because the teachers are able to discipline you like a parent would

Friends, we need to talk about how still / standing / massive bodies of water should be level in photographs. The ocean does not typically tilt to the left or the right when you are standing on the beach looking at it under normal circumstances, and it should not tilt left or right in your photographs either. Same with lakes, ponds, etc... Use the water as your level horizon whenever possible and rotate your images to get it level.

Thank you,

No, that would be body shaming. They just need to dress appropriately.

So who determines exactly what is a fashion statement anyway?
Of course, being comfortable usually outweighs fashion.
Anyway...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This dude for example...someone surely finds him attractive, since he's all over the internet.

Yes, that is what I meant.

Yeah, music...but I don't know about art...unless it was psychedelic drug induced

My hands that are still so dry. I'm sick of them cracking. And yes, I use lotion daily and every night. Have to be careful what I use but I'm so sick of my dried out hands

Ditto all of my life, dry skin. I find that at night putting Neosporin & cotton gloves helps, bandaids on the bleeding cracks, but the most important thing is to drink more water throughout the day...don't realize you didn't drink water all day then try to drink a big glass before bed, you'll be up all night peeing. Get a 64oz jug, fill with water & maybe add a bit of fav flavor, but if you drink water every 2 hrs, you'll notice improved skin hydration as well as less aches and pains. Avoid sodas, caffeine, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, too, those beverages aren't worth a crap. Try it.

I have. None of this is new to me

That is gold!

I know the perfect logical reason...mini UFOs buzzed in creating a whirlwind.
