Comment on Thurs3 – Possum Thanks by spudv

That is one of the key questions for shaping the behavior of recalcitrant offspring: what motivates them, and how can I (as a parent) use that to shape their behavior? Unfortunately the motivator is a moving target, lasting about the same amount of time as they can sit still. Well, if it was easy to raise young’uns then the state would do it – at least Hillary and her village.

As for me, the old fart, I seem to be content to sit here in the stench of my own making. You get used to the smell after a while – er, ummm, I’ve gotten used to it – and excuses are very handy to justify the “stuck in the mud” paradigm. I have to get past the fear of gambling, yet my gamble will affect three hungry-for-electronics-and-other-consumables children. Getting the grub stake is challenging too. Enough vagaries for now, I’ll just give thanks for my marsupial and other friends and move along.

Boredom can be quite a motivator, though! Well, sometimes. Obviously doesn’t work too well in motivating recalcitrant offspring…

Yeah, I’m on FB too. I’d never have gotten together with a couple of my high school classmates last time we were up north except for the “miracle” of FB. It’s cool, but it took me a while to join in myself. Paul’s the early adopter in our household!

Kristal told him the girls were “brazen”. When Josh asked what that meant she told him to look it up. I’ll keep trying to teach him survival skills, though I don’t have any direct experience with groups of girls chasing me.

One of the things I like about blogs is you had to have a little computer savvy (or have someone hold your hand) to set one up. Facebook is just plug and chug, kind of like a fancy IM with pictures. I understand how people like using it, but it’s not for me. Neither is that twittering tweeting thing. Wonder if that makes me old-fashioned …

Eek – he’s way too young to have girls hitting on him. And what’s with those girls, anyway?

People aren’t much different on-line vs. off, but it’s much harder to maintain a connection when you never seen someone in person. I miss the possum-related community as well, though Terry is now on FB and posts once or twice a week over there, just short stuff, but still funny.

If Kristal needs more FarmVille friends – send her my way -Diane Werle =-)

Awesome blog! I thought about starting my own blog too but I'm just too lazy so, I guess I'll just have to keep checking yours out. LOL,

It’s surprising how much people trust the government for things in their life, yet badmouth and denigrate everyone in the legislature as crooks. Our Constitutional forefathers would be aghast.

A definite great read..Jim Bean

Yes, it is no wonder Americans don’t have any use for the church anymore. How do we get an “in” with people if they have no fears- the government will protect us from any harm!

I was thinking of writing an article for NRO with the working title of “The New Opiate of the People” or some such…
