Spanking is one thing, smacking as in the face, is quite another.

kcrazorbackfan: Back in the day corporal punishment was allowed. I had the distinction in Freshman class at West High School to have gotten the most whacks 265 that year and a school record. Our gym teacher drilled large holes in his paddle to eliminate wind resistance.

I don't believe in hitting a child but I must admit I have seen some where a spanking is needed to awaken their brains. I must also admit that I was one of them but for a father with a John Wayne mentality I'd probably be in dire straits today. After military service I made it a point to tell my Dad thank you for being a good parent.

Parenting is difficult and after our generation it has become continually more difficult given the shifts of mores availability of drugs, etc

Agree. Don't know how this thread on Trash Around turned into child abuse.

[QUOTE=flyerguy;1189127]

I now realize it is MY fault. I remember that I said that those worker folks wouldn't be throwing litter out if their moms had smacked them. I kinda meant it.


I would like to go on record as no child beater, but neither of our children has ever been arrested, nor our grandchildren either. Both of our grandchildren work for Fox News. Now this should turn the conversation.....lol.

Trash around

Well Gracie, you and your husband, and your children and their spouses, and your grandchildren have all done something correct and well. Congratulations!

I've been known to wander off topic, but from trash at the postal boxes to child beating???? Quite a jump there:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Trash around
 

How about a fiberglass rod with a steel tip across the butt and or the palm of both hands.? Sister Eulick used this tool on boys only.

Ditto for you......:pepper2::agree:

and for the poster ...Did you live in a vacuum before moving?

I've noticed that you often inject lobster comments in your posts. I have no idea why! :evil6:

Back to trash and cigarette butts and the poster wondering if she made a mistake in moving to The Villages.

Lobsters don't smoke but they do poop, I think.

Take them to the Lobster Park. They don't bark so they won't bother the golfers on the 5th tee on the other thread.

Is that near the dog park ?

I've noticed that you lose lobsters on baseball bets, and I know why!:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Still trying to figure out what any of this has to do with trash

At one time lobsters were considered trash. Fishermen would toss them out from their nets. Hence, the trash/lobster link.

not to worry, smokers don't last long!

The Villages is like every other town (hometown or not.) By that I mean you have all kinds of people. Many are very friendly and many are not. Many are very thoughtful and many are not. Remember as we get older we do not change. We just get "more so."

RickeyD: I went to a Catholic Elementary School and yes Mother Superior was a big believer in teaching kids about the importance of humility and a ruler certainly serves up a lot of humility.

P.S. I jumped topics because the trash topic was getting too political but I will say waste management does an outstanding job in this community:D

Not really
 

You mean someone might not love the villages and see a true negative?

The OP still has just one post. Never came back or identified the roads or restaurants in question. Interesting.
