The year 2016, a liberal's point of view.
Now we need to make it so!
Hopefully, the pooch will come out OK.
Actually, the girl’s cute. Maybe if she gets rained on enough, she’ll learn not to go driving with the top down in the rain ... along with some other basic life lessons.
The ONLT IMO that will change this younger generation are having to go through hardships and suffering the consequences of their own actions. They need to face the music and learn the differences between needs and wants and reality and deception.
I find it sexy. :)
I’m surprised hasn’t come in here yet and said, “I’d hi it”...lol
I’m surprised Laz hasn’t come in here yet and said, “I’d hi it”, yet...lol
Laz?
Very!!! Don’t let my wife know.
Well? :)
A program named "Outward Bound" was devised to expose the young men to training designed to teach them to cope with stress, difficult obstacles, and working together as a team to overcome them and achieve set goals
This British conceived program expanded the U.S. and other countries because it was so successful.
During the late 80s and early 90s the company I worked for decided to send ALL of it's salaried employees to the course. Some were sent to river rafting and some were sent to high desert hiking at The Joshua Tree National Monument near Palm Springs California.
I was one of the employees "blessed" by sent to Joshua Tree.
While we were there we did a lot of hiking (miles and miles of hiking), climbing up large rock formations followed by repalling down the side of the rocks we just climbed up, preparing our own meals, building our own shelters using only string and Tarpaulin, and working together to accomplished several tasks assigned to us.
We happened to be in the high desert during a 100 year rain storm and we all got soaked daily. Our time there was extremely cold, wet, windy, and stressful and the instructors joked that they didn't have to devise any stressful tasks or events because the environment itself was so stressful.
At the conclusion of our training each of the trainees were given a pin from the Pacific Crest branch of outward bound and instructed to give it to someone else in the group who we thought displayed the best attitude and performed their duties the way the two instructors thought we should. I received the pin from the head instructor/group leader.
The eyes, the Noe, the hair. Beautiful. I would bring her home and take excellent care of her. Now the one on the right?
Congratulations dglang!
I hear ya! I had a similar experience when I was 19 at the end of which I got a stripe designating me as being a PV2 in the United States Army.Adversity can be a great teacher...if you listen carefully.
Instead of a Pacific Crest pin, I reached adulthood without a criminal record. LOL.
Boy scouts in the early 60s did it for. We put ourselves into stressful situations by planning our own camping/hiking trips up in the Blue Ridge Mountains during all seasons. Without adults along to get in the way.
That sums it up nicely. Good job. The only thing missing is the tears.
Looks more like she just went thru a car wash.
The dog is pissed.
I knew what stress was when I had to plow a field with a team of horses and a single bottom plow.
Knowing that my dad, great uncle and granddaddy, all old hands at working horses, would critique my work.
Last thing they said to me was “don’t let those horses get too hot”.
Never said a dang thing about me getting too hot.
Like you I reached adulthood without a criminal record.
I was either too tired or too busy to get in trouble.
