It is so annoying!
Having never had a teenage boy before I am not always sure what is normal.

A little bit of vanity there? Must be why all those pics in the article highlight her looks and sexiness.

There was another one of those "eel crawls up a man's butt" stories a few years ago. That guy wasn't as lucky as this one, and he ended up dying. Don't recall all the details, but I think the eel was eating his colon or something. Pretty gross.

Stabbing attack in Jerusalem; one moderately wounded
The attack took place near the Lions' Gate in the Old City. The terrorist was shot and neutralized by the forces in the area, and his condition is unknown. The policeman who was wounded was evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Another policeman was lightly injured in his hand and was treated on site.
Shabbat Shalom

I don't think it unusual for teenage boys to use f*uck all the time. It seemed like something that has been around a long time. I was a clean, wholesome boy, and didn't feel the need to say f*uck this and F*ck that,,,,/sarc....But I didn't really swear that much as a kid.

The Republican Party could help Trump out by actually working to
accomplish ANYTHING of legislative substance but it seems like they are
trying to thread the needle in simultaneously giving Trump no
legislative victories and and at the same time not crafting a rationale for
voting for them back into office with nothing to actually run on.

word for everything.? F-"I can't find my running socks ". F-"The eggs

================================
I don't know if it's normal or not. If you mean, does an average teenage boy swear like that? Maybe so. But it certainly doesn't need to be acceptable in your home, normal or not. My son was in the Army and often had Army buddies visit the house. If they ever started in with rough language, as soldiers often do, my son would quickly shit them down with "my mom doesn't allow that language in her house." I never had to tell them twice. Except this one kid who let it slip and immediately apologized.
It's your home. You set the rules. It doesn't matter if it's normal. Just my two paltry cents.

Look at it this way, by being a DC Uniparty Establishment, GOP wing, politician, you still get 75% of the available graft and perks, and only about 15% of the bad press you deserve. So it's quite rational for GOPe politicians to knife Trump in the back because the odds are pretty good that he'll be gone in 7.5 years (or less, if you're lucky) and you'll still be on the gravy train with a gold-plated ticket to ride.

She has never been to Phoenix and knows no one in Phoenix. She put her house on the market and it sold in two days. So off she goes. Don't ask me. I imagine I won't see my dad again. I don't know if he can make the trip.

=============================
My bossy sister wanted her to move into the complex where her mother-in-law lived. It's very nice. My sister lives in Denver and thought they could kill two birds with one stone by visiting both at the same time. My mom had to do a buy-in. Which she did, and then my sister's MIL died. So there's my mom in the middle of the desert by herself.
My bossy sister said it doesn't make any difference if she is here or out there, since "there is no one there for you anyway where you're living now."
Pardon me?
were not able to persuade her to move someplace closer? Why Phoenix of
all places?

Good morning all! Youngest is back home for a few weeks before her internship starts. She came in and woke me up last night with the news that the new Captain Underpants movie will be out soon. I'll wait for Netflix, but I'm sure that she and her brother will go and spend the money in the theater.

Phoenix is a great town for elders, but speaking from experience, the remote location will cause great difficulty for her over time, especially if she were to become unable to manage your dad's care. Also moving, especially over state lines, can disrupt health care continuity.
My mom and dad moved to Florida, without seeing it or knowing anyone, and they hated it. They wound up in California too.

Good luck with the impending patient load, NGU !
FS, I've got faith in you and your common sense and basic decency; do what you think is right and you won't go too far off.

Mrs. Eez was up at 0330 to go to some big flea market off away east of here with her buddy, so I got an extra-early start on the day.
Lots of coffee, and a mushroom-and-swiss cheeseburger for breakfast. Woohoo !

We had a heartbreaking police shooting here in central OH yesterday. A 36 year old small town chief of police with 6 kids and one on the way was shot and killed by a crazy ass ex con who was "working on his anger issues". The shooter, after leaving the young policeman dead in the street, then goes into a nursing home, kills 2 employees and himself. Not. A happy day here in Columbus.

Fenelon, I've been wondering how your son is doing. I hope he's been able to start on his group sessions.
Re the swearing, I don't know if what I will say will really be applicable, given the factors you have to deal with, but we don't allow swearing in our house, at all. I've only ever heard any of my kids swear twice, and neither time did they know I was anywhere around and they apologized profusely (and they were both older than your son when it happened).
I think whoever above said he is testing limits is correct. My suggestion is to sit down with your husband and come to an agreement that you will not allow your son to use that sort of language in your home, and then set some consequences and be willing to enforce. Easier said than done, I know, but I think it needs to be done. Usually when kids do something like that that they absolutely know their parents don't like, they are waiting to be told not to do it, even if they won't admit it.
I know things are complicated by his latest troubles and his autism, so as I said, I don't know how helpful this really is. But since you asked for ideas, I figure I'd throw this out there. And, of course, pray.

Even a gang banger has a mother. Who will be featured on the local news wailing the DeAuntran was a wonderful caring boy who was just standing on corner minding his own business when shot.
But the problem with gun violence is your gun, not DeAuntran's.
A background check should consist of one question: vote Democrat? If so you should be denied because of inherently poor impulse control.

Having never had a teenage boy before I am not always sure what is normal.
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 13, 2017 07:27 AM (fDdVG)
It’s perfectly normal for a teenage son to rebel.
My mom turns 90 next month, and I would never use the f-word around her. I only rarely use it when I’m by myself. Even then, I always regret it.
I’m no psychologist, but my guess is that your son is 1) using the word mostly out of habit; and 2) engaging in a minor rebellion against you by using it.
It’s normal for teens, especially boys, to rebel against their parents. I certainly did, though it was tame at the time and even more tame by today’s standards.
You have two options:
1) Ignore the situation and hope things get better. This really is a good option if your son is trying to shock you. When he figures out that you’re not shocked, he’ll move on to something else.
2) Deal out punishment as you see fit and follow through.
If you go with the punishment route:
1) Sit down with your son and tell him that using the f-word is unacceptable and will be followed through by punishment. Decide the punishment beforehand and follow through. If you break him of using the habit around your family, chances are he will stop the habit in other areas of his life.
The key is following through. If you give him one week’s suspension for doing X, give him the entire week’s suspension, no matter how much he changes in the days following the suspension.
2. Make sure that you and FenelonSpouse are in agreement. You have to ensure a united front. Agree beforehand on the punishment.
3) Agree with FenelonSpouse beforehand what type of punishment follows should your son break the rule you’ve laid down. You might agree on something like one additional week for the first offense and two additional weeks for the second offense.
4) Don’t make the punishment so harsh that he will resent you but make it harsh enough that he knows you mean business.
5) I’m repeating this for emphasis. Decide beforehand with FenelonSpouse what you will use a punishment and determine what you will use for further punishment should your son fail to uphold the bargain.

"Yeah i saw that...any motive?"
Not that we've heard yet. The policeman responded to a call about a man with a gun walking down the middle of the street. This a tiny little rural community we're talking about here. The chief had been on the job for less than 3 weeks. The county sheriff was professional and courteous to the press during his morning press conference yesterday but the look on his face was heartbreaking in itself. The shooter had a couple of hostages before he shot the chief. They got away. He then went into the nursing home and killed a nurse and and an aide.

Interestingly enough, the off color language applies to recreational sailors as well. Heading off next month for Block Island Race Week, a week off drinking, partying, fishing, drinking and some occasional sailing to justify the whole week of debauchery. By the end of the week, I will need to go through language detox to stop the non-stop swearing.

Hi everyone. I haven't done one of these for a while, so here goes:
Colorado Shenanigans Update
tl:dr version- Legislatures can't help themselves. They know only how to spend.
Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights (aka TABOR) was originally instituted in 1992. The intent was to put a cap on the amount of money that the state government could raise (and spend). Ever since, legislators have sought ways around the caps.
Certain entities categorized as 'enterprises' were exempted from TABOR calculations. These were defined as government-owned businesses that provided a specific product or service that was sold to customers in a market transaction and were sustainable as businesses independent of state financing, for example, the gift shops at state parks.
The Colorado Hospital Provider Fee was a tax on hospitals in the state based on patient volume. This fee, totalling ~$800 million was then redistributed to hospitals based on their percentage of indigent and Medicaid patients. That $800 million counted against the TABOR caps.
In SB-267 the state legislature has now repealed the Hospital Provider Fee and replaced it with the same thing under a different name, only now labeled as an 'enterprise'. (Colorado Healthcare Affordability and Sustainability Enterprise or CHASE ). Tax revenue generated by this entity no longer counts against the wider state TABOR spending limit. This entity does not sell a product or service on the open market. The fees charged to hospitals are passed on to the individual consumer.
In a gesture of magnanimity (sarc) the bill's sponsors have agreed to only finagle $600 million of the available $800 million. In essence, this is a massive stealth tax raise, expanding the state's general budget by $600 million.
The average taxpayer in Colorado has never heard of this.

"My mom and dad moved to Florida, without seeing it or knowing anyone, and they hated it."
That's a mistake that I want to avoid should my family and I ever move out of IL, which I want to do, but not having ANY family or close friends anywhere else makes it hard to decide where else to go. I have heard of people just packing up and moving sight unseen and actually making it work -- and isn't that exactly what our immigrant ancestors did when they got on the boat?
Still, I would think that for every person who "won" that kind of gamble there would be at least several others who regretted it. (And there were, back in the 19th century, immigrants who went back to the Old World because they DIDN'T make it in America.)
If any of Teh Horde knows someone who just "took the plunge" and moved to another state or another community at least 500 miles away (meaning they could not easily drive back and forth whenever they felt like it), for any reason (jobs, retirement, just wanting to start their life over) WITHOUT scoping out their new home thoroughly first, how did it turn out?

Unless you are coming from a hell hole, no matter where you move you will be homesick for a period of time and will question the move. When that happens you have to revisit the reasons for your move in the first place. Granted sometimes you do jump out of the frying pan into the fire when you move.

Military members transferring to a new Duty Station would meet that definition as well.
Which has actually been the only way that I have moved anywhere.

Well, I moved to Mississippi from NC when I went to grad school - about a 700 mile trip - but I did go spend a day down there looking for an apartment and talked to some folks a couple months prior to actually moving. Worked out well, but I was inserting myself into two existing organizations, the university and a local church, so I had two support groups right from the very beginning. Also the first time I had ever lived on my own, BTW. Quite a learning curve...

Moved to England for a postdoc. Essentially a blind leap: knew no one, did not know where I might be living or even how to go about it. Worked out in the end but now that I'm no longer young and naive I would not go through it again.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 13, 2017 07:27 AM (fDdVG)
================================
I don't know if it's normal or not. If you mean, does an average teenage boy swear like that? Maybe so. But it certainly doesn't need to be acceptable in your home, normal or not. My son was in the Army and often had Army buddies visit the house. If they ever started in with rough language, as soldiers often do, my son would quickly shit them down with "my mom doesn't allow that language in her house." I never had to tell them twice. Except this one kid who let it slip and immediately apologized.
It's your home. You set the rules. It doesn't matter if it's normal. Just my two paltry cents.

"Military members transferring to a new Duty Station would meet that definition as well."
I should probably clarify that I am NOT thinking of people who get transferred by the military or their employer, since they have what I would call a built in connection to their new location and also don't have much choice if they are going to keep their job; I'm thinking of people who do this completely on their own.

Carlo disappeared into the back room for a moment, and then reappeared carrying an ordinary shoebox.
He took off the lid and removed a hideous pair of black and white pumps. But this was not an ordinary pair of black and white pumps; both were left feet, one had a right angle turn with separate compartments that pointed the toes in impossible directions.
The other shoe was six inches long and was curved inward like a rocking chair with a vise and razor blades to hold the foot in place.
Carlo spoke hesitantly, ". . . Now you see . . . they' re not fit for humans . . ."
"Put them on me."
"But... "

The only times I have really encountered the f-word problem is the first time any of my kids came back home after being on their own. I just keep stressing that it is ignorant and rude -- not acceptable in my home. It usually takes a few days for them to get back to normal language. Shocked the heck out of them when I called someone (BHO) a 'freaking Marxist idiot' and their reactions were priceless. They have been discussing among themselves how to keep me offline because I am hanging around with crazed conspiracy people.

211 The press bias is not about what they report as much as it is what they refuse to report. There is so much vandalism going on at Trump properties and any Trump related properties is could be considered an epidemic.

I was at a grocery store when I passed a father and his two small children in an aisle. I heard the boy who was 5 or 6 tell his dad that Sally , who appeared about 3 or 4, kept saying a bad thing. The dad turn to Sally and asked her what has she been saying to her brother. This cute little girl looked at her father with a big smile and said ' fuck a duck' . I saw the dad try to keep from laughing at the same time telling her why she can't say that. I had to keep from laughing out loud myself.

So the tv remote has a button to switch to the Roku input, right? And the roku has it's own remote.
Puppy somehow managed to switch the tv to Roku when I wasn't looking, then when I looked a little later he had the Roku remote on the ground with him.

FenelonSpoke,
I forgot that your son suffers from autism and didn’t know that he had been through troubles recently.
My suggestions remain the same but you might lessen them in light of his struggles. For example, instead of suspending him from something he likes for a week, make it 3 days instead.
Aim for the right balance between mercy and punishment, just as God does with us. The main thing is that you and FenelonSpouse decide on the appropriate punishment, follow through, don’t mitigate it, and maintain a united front.
Blessings to you and your family,
-Michael

I should probably clarify that I am NOT thinking of people who get transferred by the military or their employer, since they have what I would call a built in connection to their new location and also don't have much choice if they are going to keep their job; I'm thinking of people who do this completely on their own.

The same insecurities exist. No one in the military knows what their job is going be from one tour assignment to the next. But from what I learned "the job" is only a small part of the anxiety in moving, even when I was a civilian. They both involved going into uncharted territory.

...WITHOUT scoping out their new home thoroughly first, how did it turn out?"
5 years ago, my husband and I decided we wanted to move out west. We picked Jackson Hole, WY, never having been there in our lives. We found a condo for rent on craigslist (in Alpine, 40 min away from the Grand Tetons), looked at it on google earth, said, "That'll do!" and applied online, wired our deposit, and picked up and moved.
It was everything we thought it would be. We got jobs, we had a gorgeous view, we loved the mountains and the wildlife and even the snow.
Then our mothers both started having health problems and we didn't want to be 2000 miles away, so we moved back to Ohio last summer to help them out.
We have every intention of moving back out when we retire.

True, but the real difference is that moving with a job means you have a built in support system (i.e. the people who hired you and/or other employees of the same company, the military infrastructure, etc.) while moving without a job means you don't, and are on totally on your own until such time as you can create your own support system of friends, co-workers, etc.

Fidget Spinners. Who knew. For years I used a think rectangular perfectly weighted gold Tiffany lighter in meetings and other places when I was bored or had to wait long periods of time.
Funny. They have apparently been around 15 years or so, now a craze, soon to be banned in the classrooms and perhaps elsewhere.
If you like it, wait and some petty tyrant will forbid it.

Trump golf course in the Bronx hit by vandals Tuesday morning. They cut down with a chainsaw 4 trees between 20 and 30 ft tall.

The funny thing was, about a week before that I saw a car with a bumper sticker that said "Bloom where you're planted."
I've never seen that sticker before or since. Needless to say, I've never forgotten it.

Regarding the "too beautiful" girl, maybe it's just me misremembering but the English press has done these stories before.
And those they feature, like this woman, aren't all that beautiful. We'll see if, like the others, she'll be torn a new one in the comments and follow-up articles, or if her skin color will protect her from criticism. She's a little above average at best and that is with an awful lot of primping and posing.
I suspect that social media augments people's narcissism, what with the likes and mindless affirmative comments the selfie crowd lives for. Makes one believe things that aren't actually true.

We had fun around here some years ago with Jackie Packy Maissie Plassy, or whatever the hell her name was. She was... really, quite ordinary looking, but the same argument was made there.
This one... gah, yes, with lots of work she is appealing to view. And that's her problem. SHE is all surface. SHE is what is keeping men from wanting to look deeper. Take off the bizarro makeup, get out of the tramp "f-me" clothes, and maybe, just maybe, some guy will try to get to know you.
As is almost always the case with broads like this, there ARE guys who, if she doesn't dress like that all the time, approach her with interest, and SHE shoots them down, because they're not... whatever HER ideal man is supposed to be.

Husband and I moved from California to Kentucky years ago. He was able to transfer with his company, but we mainly moved because we were ready to start having kids and wanted to raise them in a better neighborhood than we could afford in CA.
