Hey. What's been pissing me off for months now is that my ex-best friend is in a relationship with my little sister after I told him that I was uncomfortable with him talking to her. Oh yeah, and he married a chick who immigrated here 1 1/2 year ago, I'm guessing. I was friends with him while he still had the hots for his wife and it hurts to think he thinks the same things about my little sister now. Everyone in my family thinks I should just wait it out because it will end eventually, but my feelings are very strong about the situation! My sister would hate me if I did anything to her boyfriend. I don't know what to do :(

Not if you saw the ground around here. Pure mud. That concrete slab idea is a great one, though. Pictures to follow and nothing doing until thaw anyway. I only say that the tiles / slab idea is better because I have an A-frame house. French drain installed a few feet down and I don't want to hit it as it cost a fortune to install.
Great ideas, though. Thanx. I have to take pix. Not true PVC but that black plastic stuff. PVC or CPVC would have been harder to fix. This is just a pain in the arse! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by spapad from Sunday, January 24, 2010 7:43:31 PM)

He'd need painkiller the song to accomplish that mighty task, and painkillers the next day when places he forgot he had ache!
That's what? At least 25 yards to dig two feet deep, and if his property is like mine you can't dig more than a spade deep when you hit a bunch of rocks. Nope, need a backhoe! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by hellrider 31038 from Sunday, January 24, 2010 8:07:05 PM)

About 15 years ago, we had a pitbull named Sirus. Got him when he was a little, tiny puppy. When he got bigger, that damn dog would eat anything and I mean ANYTHING. He ate the handle off my barbeque, a couple empty beer cans..even a dinner plate! Yes, that's right! A dinner plate!!!! Seriously. Didn't hurt him, though..amazingly enough. Never seen anything like it in my life! He ended up being taken by my neighbor when we moved to Calif. Not too long after, I heard that he ran away.

That is what I was going to suggest Joe - to have your kids put away the things that are most important to them and make them "off limits" to children who come over and do not respect their things. I tend to be the type of parent that jumps right in and takes things away if they are not being played with appropriately. Of course, if the little darling grabs it and throws it right away it's hard to get there in time. If you enforce your rules in your own home, this child will start to follow your rules. She may not like you at first because I have a feeling that discipline is a new thing for her but she will respond in the end. You have to be the parent and let this kid know that you will expect her to follow your rules in your home. All kids want to know what their boundaries are - they may not like them, but they don't know what to do if they don't have established rules. I have two boys and let's just say things can get a little wild when their friends come over and a bunch of boys run around the house! They all know that I mean what I say and they listen when I tell them to stop doing something. I always try to explain why I don't want them doing whatever so they know that there is a REASON and I'm not just saying it to ruin their fun. Once they hear the reason I can see the little light go on in their heads and they understand why they shouldn't do this or that.

I do however wish that parents took more responsibility for their kids and disciplined them more.

Well joe, my suggestion would be to simply NOT invite them over to your home. (They do ASK first, right??) If they are the kind of friend that just "comes over" unannounced, then they feel "close" enough to you to do so. If that is the case, I would simply explain to your friends that you are on a limited budget and cannot afford to replace the items that are destroyed. (Of course, they should have offered to pay for the items then and there but that's another story.)
People that have children have responsibilities. When ignored, this is a HUGE reason we have the Kirby Lance's and Darryn's of this Board. People that do not have respect for others and never learned manners and decency. If these "friends" of yours refuse to accept the job of teaching their children manners and respect, you need to be more assertive in what is allowed in your home. That is YOUR responsibility! Will they be offended? Possibly. It is all in how you broach the subject. If they are the kind of people that feel their kid can "do no wrong", you are better off NOT having them around anyway.

People who cannot control their children. Um.. ok try keep up with me here, we have these friends ok.. who should NOT have had a kid in the first place but are busy having their second one now. Anyways, yesterday they come over and their kid, aged 3 totally destroys a doll of Zoey's. She bashed it on a concrete floor, ripped it while trying to get it out of a pram and pretty much destroyed it. This doll cost us R450 (not sure what that is in $ or pounds but it's a lot here for a toy. Zoey loves this doll, she walks around 'feeding' it, putting it to sleep, taking it for walks in her dolly pram etc. This doll has face movement, cries, speaks etc. She's had it for some time and this, this creature just destroys it! So this refreshed me that on Christmas day the same couple visited and their little monster picked up Zakk's brand new remote control car and threw it on the floor. The car never worked again after that. The boy had literally just unwrapped it. So that is two very important things to my children that this thing has now destroyed. She also has a horrible habiit of chewing Zoey's lumpy elephant's trunk (usually when she has a cold so if I don't get it away from her in time she chews it and that's just gross!) She also chewed Zoey's sunglasses. WTF?
The kid cannot talk without whining, has no concept of sharing or just being quiet. Now, my children do get up to their fair amount of shit but they DO NOT, NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL destroy someone elses property just for the fun of it. If I do happen to catch my kids doing something that I think is inapropriate, they get discaplined. The respect their stuff and everyone elses. Why should my kids suffer because of their uneducated friends?
Zakk is getting his drums tomorrow and if this child (or any other) goes anywhere near them it will cost a friendship.
[Deep Freeze] Saturday, January 23, 2010 9:34:32 AM
I understand completely, my dear. That is why I suggested that you make it about YOU and not about their child, per se. By explaining that YOU are not able to afford replacement of items, you shift the focus away from their "little darling" and onto yourself. In this manner, they are forced to see that they are a "burden" on their friend who is only trying to make it in this world and provide for her children, just as they are. It invokes a "sympathetic response", as it were. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by joedraper from Saturday, January 23, 2010 9:19:01 AM)

If these "friends" of yours refuse to accept the job of teaching their children manners and respect, you need to be more assertive in what is allowed in your home. That is YOUR responsibility! Will they be offended? Possibly. It is all in how you broach the subject. If they are the kind of people that feel their kid can "do no wrong", you are better off NOT having them around anyway.

She also chewed Zoey's sunglasses. WTF?
The kid cannot talk without whining, has no concept of sharing or just being quiet.

If I do happen to catch my kids doing something that I think is inapropriate, they get discaplined. The respect their stuff and everyone elses. Why should my kids suffer because of their uneducated friends?
Zakk is getting his drums tomorrow and if this child (or any other) goes anywhere near them it will cost a friendship.

Thank you for sound advice Freeze.
These are friends we've known for a while and they do sort of just drop by unnanounced. I guess that I need to open my mouth more. It looks to me like they just switch off from this kid and don't see her destructiveness. Also she is the only kid in her household so she has no manners, politenes or know how of respecting others stuff. I've reached a stage now where I will try to be polite but assertive and if they don't stop her trashing my kids stuff then I will. I've just finished cleaning out Zoey's toy box and it looks all neat now and I'm telling them to put away the toys that are nearest and dearest to them that they don't want other kids to play with.
I do however wish that parents took more responsibility for their kids and disciplined them more. I'm not talkinig about beating them senseless, I'm talking about making them understand why they can't go around doing some of the things they do.. or am I perhaps too strict a parent? I thought I was pretty lenient on my brood lol... And yet they don't trash other kids things?
Well joe, my suggestion would be to simply NOT invite them over to your home. (They do ASK first, right??) If they are the kind of friend that just "comes over" unannounced, then they feel "close" enough to you to do so. If that is the case, I would simply explain to your friends that you are on a limited budget and cannot afford to replace the items that are destroyed. (Of course, they should have offered to pay for the items then and there but that's another story.)

Given that the process in mostly about politics, not sport things like this should not surprise you. but the IOC doesnt pay much of the cost of hosting an olympics, and having a major event in south america would be a great way to help focus the world on that continent, its probably the least well known. personaly, done right it could help the country long term, done wrong, hurt it.

It's one thing for London to host the 2012 Summer Games. But it's quite another for a third world nation like Brazil to have the world pay for it's past slights.

Brazil isn't a third world country. It is an economy of force. That is why the US freaked out years ago when their economy was about to go under. They would export their debt just like we have now done. I believe Brazil is classified as an "underdeveloped" countrty. Certainly NOT third world.
I was there for the Candelaria incident (google it if you don't know) and am with you that the 16 Olympics shouldn't be in Rio. Take this from someone who has an apt. in Niterói....across the bay from Rio. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by BLOOD SUCKER Esquire from Wednesday, January 13, 2010 2:57:18 AM)

Well, for a time I just could not figure out if you were a serious trouble maker or just a fun-loving nut. I also remember (although I cannot tell you what or where) some comments you made that I took as somewhat abrasive and rude. Thinking back and knowing you as I do now, I see that you are neither. You were a puzzle for me, my friend. One that I simply could not solve until finally I started to see that you are a "good egg". That is about as good as I can explain it.
Some of my very closest friends were rather mysterious to me at first, man. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by jimmyjames from Friday, January 08, 2010 3:26:53 AM)

Sorry, Pam. It would appear you missed your chance! The brilliance that you may have displayed when you pushed the "on" button and set the tone-arm on the vinyl is forever lost to the ravages of time. But fear not! There is always the option of grabbing a tape recorder, copying a few songs by established, credible musicians and simply dubbing your voice over selected areas, using a few adolescent rhymes referencing your sexual prowess, ability to "beat up" others or sell narcotics while you "keep it real" on the "streets"... A perfect formula for success in the "music" business these days.

Maybe it is the ability to hold one side of your headphones to your ear while staring at the record as it goes round and round? Perhaps moving around to the beat of the music while playing a particulary popular song has some how been elevated to a status we simply will never understand? These are just a few examples. Clearly, whomever it is that finds this particular ability so amazing is the same person or persons that will tell you Lady Gaga is an "musician"..?

Yes, Dale. I have noticed as well. This is something which I have lamented for a long time. I have written several posts about it as well. I could not agree with you more. There are, of course, many VERY talented musicians still but, by and large, the material that passes for music is nothing more than computerized garbage. Worse yet are the people that actually BUY this stuff AND support the people that spew it by attending their..*ahem* "concerts".
I find the same disturbing trend in what used to be called "playing a record on a turntable".

Good God, I absolutely hate this crap. And the idiot reporters that state, "All of the nation wants to know" or, "The entire country is waiting to hear.." NO IT ISN'T!! I mean, I am part of the ENTIRE country and I want this whole thing to GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........!!!! Where the hell is "Balloon Boy's" dad...???

Well, when there are no major hollywood scandals afoot, the reporters must fill their time somehow. If they didn't have this, they might have to go out and find some serious news. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Tuesday, December 01, 2009 2:56:19 PM)

They were just more of the same Washington blue bloods and brown-nosers that weaseled an invite to some dinner. They did not decide policy. They did not influence decisions and they DON'T matter...except to themselves.
They turned loose a "media balloon" and claimed to be inside it. Nothing more. They were nothing special before and they are nothing special now. Just because someone is adept at getting pictures of themselves with politicians does NOT make them news. Quite frankly, I would much rather watch "Girls Gone Wild" commercials....

It's embarrassing really, but what are you gonna do? 
HA!
I get where you are coming from, you and I are at opposite ends on the Christmas thing though, I love it, but that's my perogative - I love that the metal community has such a diverse range of people in it! So I say, chuck some Painkiller on the stereo, crank it up, and rock out to the beast that is Priest!!!! My favourite pass time LOL!
