    Probably kids. Was a mailbox and a trashcan. Story didn't say how powerful it was. Could be kids but could be a psycho too.

    back when... Sunday's were quite, everyone went to church, then came back for nice dinner with the family.... you had to... every thing was closed. some might see that as progress I don't. we lost something along the way. having a day where people spent time together was a benifet to all. the way it is now people are too much in a rush for family timeand I think that leads to crap like this.

    I gripe about this all the time and tell my girls we need to break bread together. They're teenagers and, when there's no school, they tend to stay up all night and want to sleep 3/4ths of the day.

    You know what's funny about that, I think that's the one part of my childhood I miss the most. I remember riding with my family down to Cottonport every Sunday, we would listen to Casey's Top 40 on the radio, and I always wanted to hear Casey's long distance dedication. Eat with the entire family, aunts, uncles, cousins, play football in the yard or go on a ride in the back of the truck, or fishing in the bayou.

    Yall are right, something wonderful was lost.

    what lost is parents cant let their kids be kids anymore. theres pedophiles and murderers and danger of some kind on every corner. or at least you have to raise them that way. theres little wonder why they are all turning into pussies.

    the only hope is the coonasses who live away from the fray. and hopefully unplugged.

    I refused to overly protect my daughters as they were growing up. Protect, sure, but let them learn from their mistakes too. My 20 year old just spent 3 months gallivanting all over Europe on her own. She did it last summer too. My 17 year old is just as independent as her older sister. Our job is to raise them to navigate the world for themselves.

    You must have gotten a few extra grey hairs when she was overseas alone.

    You have no idea. It wasn't as bad this summer, but last summer really freaked me out. Whatsapp was my lifeline. When she called me this summer about to stay in a hostel for the first time, I was a bit freaked, but you have to let them fly.

    She learned a lot. We set a budget, and she had to plan the trip and she had some skin in the game. Her mom and I paid a chunk, but she used a fair amount of her own money as well. She is turning into one of the most confident young ladies I know.

    I'll give her little sister the same opportunity when she is in college.


    You get a pic like this with a thank you and an I love you, and it makes it all worth it.
