I wasn’t the “cool” parent, but I was the parent who knew when to be a parent & not my Sons buddy when the situation required it. Sometimes that required diplomacy, and sometimes discipline, and sometimes just perspective on the scale, and sometimes violence on strangers when the system failed...

It’s shitty, but that passed with a bit of “parental intervention” outside of the school system as the school wasn’t interested in resolving its own issue “in house” as it was, and that our boy hitting male puberty…not that that physically gives anyone a physical advantage in a combat sport like...

That dude is swirling around the bowl grasping at the plastic straws…that he banned.

Good to know. I’ve told my story previously probably in this thread or others….& they all run together so I don’t remember which one & where. My Son was being Bullied, this was 25yrs ago (& two years into this bullying, of both he and his cousin…my nephew…& many many other children). It was...

Hell, I don’t even know what I was trying to say above. Paraphrasing basically, I’d be pissed off if the school was making my decisions for me regarding my child.

Ugh… I was trying to text to talk in the wind above it it butchered things…in post #4036

I couldn’t care less if my child or grandchild identified as someone in the alphabet community in all honesty, because they’re still my child her grandchild. Why are you she was with a School Saturday what I do and don’t need to know about things that happened in the school regarding my child…...

If the teachers and school and school board have a well-founded fear for the child safety….then involve social services or whatever entity as they would normally deal with that if the child was being beaten up at home or shot up with meth (do people shoot up meth?) or what have you? If there’s...

So where is the middle ground on this topic? Where is the point that both sides for meet at?

Justin Trudeau and Guilbeault are to environmentalism what evangelical street preachers are to Christianity – cultish fanatics. And they are hellbent on destroying one part of the country (Alberta and Saskatchewan) to maintain their power base in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal triangle. If you’ve...

Wow….I just think a parent should be informed of the decisions that the school is making with respect their child. Is that extreme? If little Johnny or Susie has a headache and goes to the nurse (assuming the school has one) and gets a Tylenol, parents are informed….& if there is an outing...

the criminal trial of Freedom Convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber. The pair stand co-accused of mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation during the anti-government protests that paralyzed the Nation’s Capital for three weeks in February...

http://apple.news/A40LhIbOSSOeMluep7rtpYg Imagine an education system where teachers serve a dual role: both educator and secret informant. Teachers “out” children to parents at the sign of any behaviour or expression deemed outside gender norms. Such efforts ensure parents retain full control...

Air Canada has apologized to two women who were kicked off their flight after they objected to having to sit in vomit-covered seats. “They clearly did not receive the standard of care to which they were entitled,” the airline said in a statement sent to National Post. Air Canada said it is...

It’s a Heinz57 of oddball seeds so I’ll take your word for it. The Dog has yet to complain.

Pete, do you “Flip” your plants to get them to Bud? You know what I’m saying? Smack some 2x2’s or 2x4’s into the ground, tarp your plants (or garbage bags, whatever, but get them into complete darkness) & staple-gun it into place, & leave them in complete darkness for about 48hrs….then peal off...

Nicely done. Again, ours are half the size of other years, but I usually have to “Flip” them at the end of August to get them to start to go into bud…& then they finish in the living room under lights in the picture window. This year the energy is being used differently by these plants. The...

That does make a tough. That’s part of the reason why a couple pages back I tried to sort out definitions, because for all, I know we’re on the same side of a debate without realizing it, without having definitions of the terms. Maybe that was the other similar thread… I don’t recall at this...

I try to debate to find different perspectives, & sometimes it’s harder to wrap my head around things than others, but it’s good mental exercise. It’s something I do when time permits, and I learn many sides of a story this way, or at least try to, and different people pull information from...

Well, if you could save thousands of dollars a year on your home heating costs, for the next several years up to 2035 or some other arbitrary date….That’s substantial.
