Quick start. Ice storm. Already lost power once and don't know how long it will stay on. Up to 1/4" on trees.
Before folks throw the baby out with the bath water - what flavor governor do we have in Mississippi?
If it is a member of the Criminal Party - we would be signing up to giving away the majority - potentially.
We'd be back to 50 seats, and if the Criminal Party were to flip a Senator - guess what folks.
Step down as Majority Leader - absolutely. I've called for that for awhile now. Step down as Senator - no, I'm not willing to go that far because I'm not going to lose sight of the bigger picture.
As freshman, we couldn't even leave the campus for the first 6 weeks, not even to go home ..... especially to go home. This was to force kids to deal with homesickness rather than cater to them.
First semester freshmen were not allowed to go out on weeknights ...... and the dorms were locked. No one had keys except to their rooms. We could be out until 10:30 on Friday nights and until 11:00 on Saturday and Sunday nights. If you missed that deadline, you had to bang on the window of the dorm mother's suite and beg her to let you in ..... and you just didn't do that!
Rules were relaxed slightly after that first semester ...... we could stay out until 11:00 on Friday night and til midnight on Sat. and Sun.
There were no guys in the dorm ...... when someone shouted "Man on the hall!" everyone went scurrying ..... except move-in and move-out day, when daddies and brothers helped with the moving.
We were subject to dorm inspections at any time and could be reprimanded (i.e., lose priviliges) for not keeping our rooms somewhat neat and clean.
Alcohol was forbidden! Period! Even for upperclassmen. Even off-campus. A student could not go out to dinner with her parents off-campus and have a legal glass of wine .... if she were caught, there was instant expulsion.
These sorts of rules are horrifying to today's young people ....... but they taught discipline and were really a good thing.
Btw, that's the very same college my daughter attended some 25 years later.
..scratchy throat AND wet hair!
My mama NEVER let me leave the house ...or go to bed....with wet hair :^
tsk tsk
My favorite!
/sarcasm
I was afraid he would never talk......he would point to things and use a made up word...like ...bukka.... for milk.....and
...SHEESH, silly me would give it to him...(at this point he's almost 3)
I'm despairing, afraid something is wrong......and
..all of a sudden, he starts talking in complete sentences.....
..and his favoirte pasttime was pouring through the encyclopedia...
I guess he got tired of the word games he was playing with us....:^
NOW I'm on to him :^)
I have found out that the "yes, ma'am, "yes, sir" thing is Southern.
After we moved here, son changed quite a bit ...... another long story but it really hurt him deeply when we moved. Soon I noticed that he seemed quite abrupt and curt when speaking to me and attributed it to his resentment that we moved. I finally figured out, though, that he had simply quit saying "yes, ma'am" and "no ma'am" to me. There are many northern transplants in this area and he not only started picking up more of a northern accent but he dropped the "ma'am" thing. It made his remarks to me seem harsher.
Now, before you northerners on the thread get your dander up ...... what I was reacting to was the change in his speech. If he hadn't been raised to say "yes ma'am" there wouldn't have been a problem.
That's what I think also. Lott has made some incredibly dumb moves over the years, but this last one shouldn't mean that he step down as a senator, just as majority leader.
HI!
It bears repeating
Yesterday the part came and I had it installed...
I missed you all..
Do you know why Molly hasn't posted today??
Our Tennessee schools expected it....certainly our parents, churches, etc.
My son grew up in Florida and the schools are really not Southern, but he still remembers most times to say it.
Hubbybear claims South Carolina as his home, although he lived everywhere......
..but was born in the north, and when he moved South, he almost got whacked when he didn't respond ...Yes Ma'am :)
