Looks like L4NE4's got some wood there ;) - also snark.

Yeah, well that's true, like I said. Its uncharacteristic for my son so I will be interested to hear his side of it. But still, he knows how I feel about him getting into it with kids that are smaller or younger than him. (Not that I tell him its o.k. to pick on bigger kids) but usually he is very likeable easy going kid. I'm sure there is more to the story. The fact that it happened before and I wasn't told about it pisses me off too. I'll get to be he bottom of it tonight.
 
Hey Todd, what grade is your daughter in? Could that have something to do about it? I know when someone messes with my sister I will put a hurting on someone, anyway I can... Although she is older than I am.

I'm sitting here thinking I really want a philly cheese steak. It's to the point I'm damn near ready to jump on a plane and go hit Pats and Genos.

Max's KILLS Pats and Genos. Just saying.

This is HALF of a Max's cheese steak. Both pieces is still only half. The other half was on the wife's plate.

:thumbup: I'd also give my boy the benefit of the doubt before casting judgement. We raise them the best we can with the knowledge and skills for life, but it never stops them from making their own mistakes. That's what growing up is after all.

Recently I've been having the 'when its ok to hit' conversations with my son. He's 4 and in Kindergarten, and he is very intelligent. There are a few boys in his class that severely lack in social skills and the only way they know how to express themselves is by being aggressive physically. He comes and complains that they hit him, the teachers are aware and are working on it. I don't want their actions to hurt my sons confidence, but I don't want him to be like those other boys. I told him that it was only acceptable to defend himself or others that are being picked on. If they hit you first, do whatever it takes to make them stop and he would not get into trouble with me. But I also warned him that if I found out he caused it or hit first, he'd be grounded and unable to sit for the night.

Ever since I got arrested in Detroit airport I hate flying. I had a TINY knife in the bottom of my camera bag, didn't even know it was there, and I got arrested for bringing a weapon into a secured area. Since then I've never flown, which really sucks cause I love flying, I just hate TSA.

You criminal you :D

Coming back into the country i had a 50 cal keychain... Obviously inactive, the ring went thru the primer area... Still they treated that little thing like it was a bomb or something, i didnt even attempt to hide it because i didnt think it was an issue. I didnt get it back. And they decided everything i had needed to be thoroughly searched.

One time i got a "come with me" from a TSA guy because i had like 6 or 7 lighters in my luggage. They took all them too... It took a while to find them all LMAO

But the lighter inside my cigarette pack in my pocket was never found.. ANY of the times i have flown. I always hid a lighter inside the pack and it made it through the x-ray machine every time.

But the real reason i hate to fly is because popping my ears doesnt help anything. I get massive headaches when i fly. Worse damn headaches i ever had. I have no problems going up... Its when the plane starts to go down thats the problem. Its a condition, a doctor explained it to me but that was YEARS ago and i dont remember. I cant dive either. I hit 8 feet or so and my head feels like its going to explode. I can pop my ears.... It just doesnt help anything. Hell even on road trips if we start dropping in altitude too fast i can feel it... Nothing like flying or diving but i can still feel it.

I don't have an issue with the flying it'self, but I loathe the whole process. Takes like an hour and a half to get through the terminal and security and to actually get on the plane, sit on the tarmac for another 20 or 30 minuets then spend half an hour getting off the plane and grabbing your luggage. If your car gets better than 23mpg it's cheaper to drive (unless you stay in a hotel) so it's really only worth flying if you're going about 1500 miles or more.
