“Flight training, law enforcement training, and business educuation, the nuclear power industry, NASA, etc, all disagree with you.”
Wrong. They teach what is right by people who have succeeded. The warnings given are from failures but by no means do they teach how to do things write by showing you how doing it wrong works.
Do you really think we are all idiots who have never attended nor lead a training class?? Stop listening to losers all the time and maybe your own life won’t be in such a sad shape that you think listening to Laura is a good means to a better life.
OK, so he can write a letter with the consumer warning. The cooler he keeps, the more likely he can keep the boys (and warn them about girls like that). As understandably angry as he is at the guy, it is probably she that is the main reason for the trysts, and the new guy is probably mostly a gullible sap he could try to feel sorry for. She sounds like a cougar on the hunt, she is bad news.
Especially if the day care worker had sex with a minor while discussing a weight loss recipe with her favorite pet. And there were photos of her in a bikini.
Hey sport, my own life is *just fine*. Where you get the idea that mine is in “sad shape”? Thats pretty obnoxious of you. (that is, it’s not “sad” aside from me sometimes wasting time by responding to an opinionated idiot)
And you are very sadly wrong, as well as being a very rude person. And yes, many of us have sat in those classes. Namely, me. Those precise industries do detailed CASE STUDIES on failures, and try *very* hard to learn lessons from them as well as from success stories. The results of the case studies are then widely disseminated. (incidently, they often point you in the same direction)
I used to listen to her , but honestly cannot stand to even hear her voice any more. She cannot even manage her own life and gives lousy advice!!! The only Laura with good advice was Laura Ingalls Wilder!!!
Polly
Excellent example. And yeah I agree
Maybe, guess it’d depend on the daughter, her age, her general approach to life. I just saw a couple split and girl went with mom, boy went with dad. It was a pretty nasty fate for siblings.
Not 100% saying that daughter should stay with dad, just throwing out the possibility that it could be very positive. Too many people assume a daughter doesnt need a dad as much as mom. A lot of our societal problems trace back to the idea of chasing men out of childrens lives, including (sometimes especially) daughters.
Assuming of course, a good decent man. I guess in the end its always case by case.
Thanks you. She and I take little moments to be sad; the rest of our time is spent gearing up for a showdown. I’ll be travelling to her in three weeks and am gathering ammunition in the meantime. He won’t stand a chance with this “mother lion”.
later..
You got that right about the callers. Can you imagine being that willing to air your darkest problems on the air?
Many would disagree, and do disagree thats why so many kids grow up in single parent homes..
As for drugs, there are drugs and then there are DRUGS.
I know a couple personally that the wife pulled her husband from a life of drugs into a life in the church.
"Drugs" is a charged term.
A true addict will ignore everything and everyone looking for the next fix.
A recreational drug user is no more evil than the person who takes a drink in the evening.
While I don't agree that ALL drug use should be allowed, I do believe that the government has taken upon itself the role of nanny, and made illegal, drugs that shouldn't be.
I did get a LOL at your observation of your wife and a cast iron skillet......good woman.....;o])
I saw that criticism of Dr. Laura early on in the thread that you are responding to, and wondered if she had some new failure in her life that I had missed in the news cycle. So these people who find Dr. Laura unworthy of giving advice are referring to her youthful indiscretions? Really?
That is akin to a parent not being able to tell a child not to drink because the parent had made that mistake. WOW!
These must be the same people who gave us the debacle of the 2000 election because the dems dropped the Bush DWI story the weekend before?
My wife learned that from MY grandmother.
My grandmother told her the story about my grandmother and my uncle.
He went to Marine Basic and came home all puffed up about himself.
Grandma was standing at the stove cooking and he started giving her some lip.
She turned around and whacked him with the cast iron skillet she was using. Laid him out cold.
My wife turns to me and says, "Honey can we buy a cast iron skillet to take camping?"
Yep, that's my wife.
In the 70s, my mother started taking a bunch of classes, then working part-time, then full-time, and having essentially a separate, secret life apart from our family. This was at a time when my brothers and I need more, not less, inolvement (high school). My own four teens clearly need me now more than when they were small, so I can see for myself what my priorities should be. My mom dumped my dad the day after my wedding, ruining many lives.
You lead an interesting life with an interesting family..no boring things going on in your household.....LOL again. The marines and army cannot teach the women in your family anything.
That's on my Mom's side of the family.
Don't even get me started on Dad's side. :^)
I think “violence” is a charged word,too.
Often the word is used like leftists like to use the word “torture” when talking about terror suspscts.
By modern leftist’s standards, when my dad whipped my with a belt as a yute, I was “tortured” and coerced with “violence”.
