It actually sounds good as long as there's no beans or beef in the chili, after all they do make fish tacos, right? Will try as I do need some amazing dreams.....<br /><br />You know there is an inverse version of the story of the bullying teach. It's the story of a troublemaker kid, who grew up, heard the voice of reason and benevolence, and decided to become a teacher. They hired him in his old school, and one of his old teachers who was still there recognized him: "you!?" she exclaimed... But then she realized it was a good thing because he's now assigned to deal with all the troublemakers in school, and he knows all their tricks (like blocking the spout of the drinking fountain and at the same time pluggine its drain so as to cause a mini-inundation in the hallway --but my friend knows all about it because it was one of his childhood exploits so he can't be swayed by arguments that it just happened by itself...)Katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645682203535768013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243415857143630995.post-84850507751743585432010-09-23T14:28:52.886-05:002010-09-23T14:28:52.886-05:00Ahhh, all feels right w/ the world today...at leas...Ahhh, all feels right w/ the world today...at least the Prudie world. We had snark, and some seemingly dim-witted LW's (at least 1). <br /><br />I'm with ya today, especially on #3. You yourself know the guilt a parent feels who has to be away from the family for extended times. This woman seemed whiney to me - hubby is still home every night and presumably has weekends off. What about military families who are seperated by months or a year. In my case my hubby travels extensively for work (he's in the Mid-East as I type, for a month, and has done so for 13 of our sons 15 years! So my over all thought to that woman was - suck it up honey, and quit making daddy feel guilty for trying to support you! Sheesh!<br /><br />As for the picky eater. I took something different from that letter - the little girl sounds like she has atrocious manners. It's one thing to be a picky eater (PE), it's much easier to take (as the host/hostess) when said PE is polite about it. I personally think to avoid this little girls demands on food it would be best, for the time being, if she ate before she came over. <br /><br />I guess I was fortunate as my son's PE friend (he only seemed to have one, and one w/ a specific allergy which the parents told us about) was a.) polite and b.)liked hotdogs, so I could easily accommodate him. Now that they are all 15 yrs old...the challenge is not knowing what they like, the challenge is keeping enough food in the house so they don't try to eat the dogs ;)<br /><br />Well, that's my 2 cents. I'm going to go take off my bra in celebration of it being a good Prudie day!!

Is that okay or should I tell on her to the principal for all those years of hatin' on me first? Whatcha think Prudie? Just cut her right? In all seriousness though, I gotta agree with you on this one Smag. Prudie's advice sucked. Yours was much better:)<br />LW2- of course you'll make sure you have the AC on full blast during this conversation please.<br />LW4- wait, how did you procreate without any balls?

Matter of fact, that thought didn't cross my mind until I was proofing my entry. But it occurred to me that sometimes we humans get pissy about things we shouldn't. Like a woman who gets upset when she finds out her SIL is pregnant when *she* wanted to be first in the family to have a baby? Or when a future bride gets upset when one of her bridesmaids gets enganged or pregnant between the time of becoming a bridesmaid and the wedding, as if that will somehow take attention away from the bride?! Or any number of the other crazy Prudie letter writers we've experienced here in The Lagoon!<br /><br />So, please know that that wasn't the first place that I went, and not even something I thought about much, but, I do think it's a reasonable request, to ask the LW to analyze her protestations and make sure they're coming from a fair and just place. :-) But, on the final judgment, I'll happily defer to you. You do, afterall, have boobies and I don't. :-)<br /><br />Good cheer, and happy day, Diving Buddy! :-)SmagBoy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06579694369460538262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5243415857143630995.post-48527563820373734422010-09-23T12:16:54.759-05:002010-09-23T12:16:54.759-05:00Ahoy, 'Roo!

Get it? No?<br /><br />Captain, everything was going swimmingly with your advice until I got to the part where you accused the two co-workers of possibly being *jealous* of the other co-worker's unfettered mammaries and being "afraid your man will see them". (I guess we're assuming they have men?) I didn't know you were capable of such bitchy cattiness, Smag. Tsk tsk. If your male co-worker walked around the office *up-periscope*, should I accuse "You're just jealous!" ~ and would you tell him to "Put that thing away before my Mermaid sees it?"<br /><br />I see some Spanky Time in your future, Diving Buddy!

I just had to throw this in as having been an extremely picky eater as a child (picky as in my gag reflex was tripped and eating food I didn't like was akin to torture.. I think a lot of it had to do with the texture of different foods, but I digress) and having had been forced to sit at a table until I was done eating what I had been served at a friend's home (an hour later I was able to get up from the table after eating cooked peas one.at.time whole so I didn't have to chew them)... I never went back for any kind of meal there (would barely set foot in their home) and would probably kick that woman in the shin 20 years later if I had the opportunity. Sorry, it's hard to explain it as not just a preference, but a compulsory response that can't be wished away by some stranger's odd idea of discipline. As long as the option to go home is present your response is good, but remember how you treat someone else's kid will get back to their parents and doesn't occur in a vacuum.

Regardless of truth, however, one mustn't let it affect their whole life, as if this evil teacher will jump from behind the bushes and stab the LW in the head.<br /><br />As for your choices, I'm with you, but, I've found that offering two choices is usually easy enough and provides the child with an option. Usually this works wonders. But, I do agree that if you don't feel up to it, either eat it or don't is a perfectly acceptable set of choices. :-)<br /><br />Many cheers, Oracle! :-)SmagBoy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06579694369460538262noreply@blogger.com
