I do, because it teaches them that they have to respect authority, who the main authoritative figures are in their life, it teaches them right from wrong so they'll know what to do and what not to do. I've also found that it helps tame those wild, rebellious children. I've always heard that there is a direct line from the butt to the brain in a figurative sense, and it won't kill them either. It will keep them out of prison or winding up dead someday because of the healthy respect they learn. I've seen that they also love you more for caring enough to discipline them in the long-run.

That always wants to take pictures of you and the family everytime you turn around. Like at a get together or something. You cant even mingle for one minute w/o having your pic taken! You know.

I'm debating whether to save money on a used bed versus a new bed. But aren't there germs inside used mattresses?

How often do you do it? I like movies, reading, home decorating. I'm doing one or more of them everyday. Lately I am addicted to HGTV - it has inspired me to refurbish and old home - fun fun fun!!!!

let's do it Fats, you and me...... O.K., Eddie a few dollars a point.., C'mon, Fats, it's you and me, $100 a point.

Jackie Gleason playing Minnesota Fats smiles and says, ... no wonder why they call you Fast Eddie ! .... Rack 'em up.

Here we go Fat Man, fast and loose.

Was Eddie Felson right..... Is that what life is all about...?

Is life a whirlwind run for the roses, that's fast and loose, where to the victor belongs the spolis and nice guys finish last.

Or were the smoke filled pool halls of New York City, Chicago and New Orleans a place just to hangout, where every misfit in town listened to Frank Sinatra belt our 'Luck Be A Lady" and listened as Miles Davis gave us his rendention of 'Bye Bye Blackbird"?

Give it up, people, your answers...do it.

Fast and loose.

And, as a post script...What did you think of the movie, The Hustler, staring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason?

I realize and do remember that day of September 11, 2001 that something happened that changed the world.....changed America (or so I thought). It's a sad date to remember, and to know how many lives were lost and what this has caused, but my quesiton is...what happened? Did everyone forget? Instead of just pretending for a year or so that everyone was helpful to one another and this nation became one----why didn't we keep it that way? Why didn't it make us closer? Why are people getting progressively sicker as each day goes by? I know the answers to that, but that part of history didn't change us----we are doomed to repeat it....
What do you think? The state of society as a whole isn't just based on the government and political parties---it is based on YOU and ME. We can make a difference, but so many choose not to!

I've had some guy friends tell me that palmable is best, since anything more is just waste, and have dated men who prefer smaller breasts. But there seems to be a national obsession with huge chests and women so often feel the need to get implants. Personally I have small, but "palmable" breasts.`

People seem to think we are progressing in society, but to me it seems things are getting much worse.
People disrespect one another, think the world is owed to them and are quite vain and materialistic. I'm not saying all people are like that, but it's quite apparent to me that it's hard to find 'real' people, that are happy with a simplistic life filled with happiness. They don't need excessive promisquity, be in debt to keep up with the Jones', or need to show their body parts off for attention. Of course there is more depth to this problem, but I don't feel the need to imply anything else...you get my drift.

I sympathized with Israel only because Jesus was a jew and I have respect for that country. Then I found out that there are americans,canadians, and people from my country in Lebanon trying to get out, so I can't be against it.

What do you think?

We've got politicians telling us what we can or cannot do to our own bodies, religious figures telling us to be good little churchmice and to not have sex, ever, unless we are married and it results in children, and people in the media telling us "Look like this, weigh this much, wear these clothes, think these thoughts." Is anyone else sick of it? Women are as smart as men, we can think for ourselves. Are we so dangerous that we have to be kept half brainwashed in order to keep us under control?
