Not sure why I got the asterisk by my name. Seems no one can explain it.
I just go with it as a gift from the Moderators.
And good morning REOnauts.
Good morning everyone!
Thought for the day:
We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it--for a little while. ~ShareWilla Cather

Hiya folks - not sure why I've not come into the lounge to hang out - but looks like a nice place to kick ones feet back and just chill. First round of drinks on me - whaddya have?

I love to look at the snow. I hate to drive in it. My little city doesn't know how to deal with the roads.
I am sorry if my mirth about the kid's difficulties ruffled anyone's feathers...I suppose I'm remembering the difficulties I had when I was his age and moved to Eastern Washington from Hawaii. Brings back a lot of memories, and many of them are amusing to me now, though not so at the time. He has a lot of adapting to do...and nearly all of it is going to be hard for him. Different language, eating habits, food choices, clothing styles, and even different family and social structures. It really is a big change for him.
I'm more of a middle of the road kind of gal. I agree plain ridicule can really cut down a kid, but at the same time, I can see how it can help them with proper follow through. Don't get me wrong, I'm against just bashing a child and leaving it at that. I believe in moderation, and I also believe that taking the time to explain is helpful. None of us are perfect in our ways, and every child's needs are different. I can't tell you how many times I have been accused of being a bad mom because my daughter would fall down and scrape her knees, instead of running to her rescue I told her to get up and come see me. So many women gave me the stink eye and would cluck under their breath about how mean I was, abusive even. My daughter is self sufficient & self assured now (for a 14 year old) and understands the value of picking yourself up and dusting yourself off and figuring out where things went wrong. And even though her failings or falling sometimes amuse me...she knows I love her more than anything and only want the best for her, even if my lessons are hard ones.
I know nothing of his former or current family structure, so I have no ground to say anything other than what applies to our family structure here: We tease Teagan, we call her names (not bad ones, and no names we aren't willing to apply to ourselves), we make her work hard for everything, we poke at her and we push her. Some we do in fun, but sometimes we do it get her to react. She is learning to see the humor in her difficult moments and to stand up for herself, and those times when she does, we back off....and then we talk about it and work through it...we even sometimes apologize for our behavior and misunderstandings. We're raising a girl and we are raising her to be tough, to be true to herself, and to speak her mind. My daughter is much like I am...sensitive, but tough. And where did I learn to be this way? My dad, and I have never questioned whether he loved me. As a child I needed a strong hand and hard lessons, that is how I learned best. But I know it is not the same for all children.
Your son is a shining example of a child who didn't need to be toughened up...he found his inner strength in your love and acceptance and for that you should feel immensely proud.
Evening everyone
I usually vape a Virginia juice, it's all I ever vape, a premade one,
But with the threat of redundancy hanging over me, I decided to give DIY unflavoured a go, cos, it's obviously cheaper, stuff arrived today, & I mixed up 30ml, to try it, & I can honestly say it's quite palatable, I think I could manage quite well on this, & it's working out, about 1/3 of the price of the juice I usually vape, so it appears to be a win all round

That's great Frank! And it will only get better with steeping! I usually allow my DIY 3 weeks before use. I keep a rotation going of the batches.
It is so much cheaper and I have found I can make juice that I like even better than most vendor juice.
Nice to have you drop in! This thread really gets busy in the early morning and late evening.
All are welcomed to join in the chat!
