What is that button for, anyway?

That's for if you only want to respond to one person. I used the Quote feature in the post above to respond to several at once.

I don't understand why any parent would not desire to put themselves out of the job of parenting (read: babying) their offspring at the earliest oppoortunity. We have 18 years to give them all the tools they need to live productive, independent lives. In some cultures historically children were considered adults at the age of 12!


Call it Bachelor Survival!


Sorry you lost her, Roses. But yeah, ya gotta try.

I agree 100% I've been on my own off and on since I was 12, and pretty close to completely on my own at 15.

Same, as a child I certainly didn't want to be babied. I could use the microwave when I was 6 and at 8 I could cook basic things on the stove or in the oven. By 10 I was capable of doing most things to care for myself. I would have hated having everything done for me and not being able to learn for myself. Childhood is for learning the things you will need to know as an adult, children certainly aren't miniadults but nor are they dolls either

I wish I could say I didn't tweak my back a couple hours ago.

I hope I can say it's all right tomorrow morning.

Feel better soon, Sally! My GC is suffering from a bad back right now, too. She's 23. It sure can be debilitating.

I wish I could say my chickens are smart enough to stay fully clothed in -30° wind chills, but nooooo the last two mornings in the coop have looked like a pillow fight happened over night

It’s common etiquette to apologize to someone after falsely accusing them of something, after having it pointed out to you that your device was the issue all along.

It isn’t snowing again.

I don't have two silly broody hens.
