Neither are bad words. They just look that way when someone puts quotes around them.

I had to Google him, too. This is one of those strange pop culture moments that make me feel old. I remember when Hook was considered an awful movie, so I never saw it. But then the kids who saw it grew up.

Sounds like economic security and freedom from worry are the keys to happiness in employment, which makes plenty of sense.

Thank you, but that was a quote. I didn't write that particular part.

My prom in 1976 was free to get in, a fine dinner was served, and we even had a live band. It was Exile, before they had that first big hit. The students had car washes and bake sales to pay for it. I made my own dress and shoes.

Now I have three girls in high school. I will have to re-sharpen my sewing skills.

I believe that was the joke.

Ted, I only count 15 kids. The lady in the middle is some TV person, not a Duggar. And Mom is holding the baby. Not that I'm arguing with any of your points, but the photo does need a bit of explanation.

PacRim Jim is right, flexibility is extremely important. Every child is different, and then each child changes! And situations and opportunities change as well. By the time you get a handle on it, they're grown up.

The only people who have all the answers are those who have no children.

Ryan, you use a n awful lot of jargon to describe what most parents know as common sense.

I learned those as Authoritarian, Authorative, and Permissive. But in the years since, I see she's changed permissive to indulgent and added neglectful, so there are now four styles.

Ryan, what do you think common sense IS? Parents are fully aware that children are self-conscious beings.

I tried to get more information on this building by running a few comments through Babelfish. What I learned was that YouTube commenters are just as nasty in Russian as they are in English.

"kitten you suck eternally as everything they know, and when I with you will meet you teeth gather will be on [Chertanovo]. Regards to you and to your wet-nurse from the space dogs which will break your insolent erysipelas with those inflamed from the sucking of [khuev] with lips! Here another pair of [pasanov] they want to you [ebalo] into the blood to break, soon the fact that to not climb you will not be able, to walk there will be the complicatedly deformed daughter of the female of raccoon!"

Legal or not, some women might take issue with a stranger snapping their picture. They might get the idea they are being stalked.

According to some recent news stories, the legality of taking pictures in public all depends on which cop you are photographing.

I didn't see Titanic for years after it came out. People would express surprise, and I'd say, "I already know what happens -the boat sinks!"

Like the previous jello shots, http://www.neatorama.com/2012/03/29/strawberry-margarita-jello-shooters/ this recipe hopes to make something edible of the huge mutant strawberries that growers love because they are heavy and you don't have to pick so many to make a pound. But the smaller strawberries taste better! I got some berries last week that were so large I had to dice them like an onion for strawberry shortcake. The huge tasteless core that makes up so much of the berry may as well be tossed and the space filled with something tasty.
