I'm so pissed. Right now I'm sitting in front of a complimentary computer in the Honda repair shop. I only came in here for a new muffler only to learn that I need new front breaks and loads of other things as well. By the time these folks are through with me, I'll be over $600.00 in the hole. Well, at least I can fix the car and I don't have to walk. So, what can you do except grin and bear it.

I'm glad I'm not the service manager giving you the news.

Carroll, if you had grinned and bared it, you might have worked that repair cost a little lower. ;D

I don't know Carroll, first the car and then the computer? You seem to be falling apart all at once. Pull yourself together Wonder Woman!

Bear, you're so right. We all learn in counseling 101 that " The foundations of ones basic value/attitude system is set by 4 or 5 years of age". I can't tell you how many women I've seen, drag their children into the visit house on Rikers Island or the Manhattan House of Detention. So many of them are exposed to bad influences at an early age. I've seen these father/boy friend types use bad language around the children. I've seen them fondle the women while the child is watching. I've seen women try to smuggle drugs into the facility in baby formula. I've seen children curse like sailors while the parents think It's funny. I've seen these children lacking in basic manners and social skills because of the kind of "parents" they have.
Many of these children are "inmates in training" and it was frustrating because I could do nothing about it. I remember, at one point, I put together a childrens playroom with toys, games and coloring books. It was an effort to distract the children while their "parents" could sit and talk. They could not sit still for more than a few moments. They would run in and out of the room and were very difficult to control. Then there was a liability issue of me playing teacher with them. Security didn't like it so I had to close it down. It was a shame because, when I looked at them, often I could see a life that was about to be lost because of bad parenting. It's a shame, a damm shame.

It was a shame because, when I looked at them, often I could see a life that was about to be lost because of bad parenting. It's a shame, a damm shame. You are absolutely correct, Carroll. Family visitors and children were NOT ALLOWED into the areas anywhere near where I worked in the ultimate level-4 psychiatric unit at Pelican Bay. Rarely, these super-max-security prisoners were escorted out to ultra-security "visitation windows" to see a family member... but that was very rare. However, I often saw children in the outside security room waiting with a "parent" who was to visit an inmate in the "lower" level-3 area. Especially on Saturday, it was TOTAL BEDLAM with the human trash "parents" - and the children were absolutely wild animals. This is a very rural county and, over the years, more and more family members of the inmate criminals have come into this area. When I go into town (Crescent City, pop. 4000... the only "town" in the county,) I see gangs of young criminals-in-waiting who are completely void of any supervision or the very basics of values, personal discipline, ethics or manners. You are right... it's sad. And, to me, frightening for the future. Bear ___________________

Oh where oh where has my security gone? oh where oh where has it gone? It is against my principles to censor anyone or anything that is posted here, especially when it is so innocuous and not harmful. This still is the United States of America, at least for now.... But someone here, who I love like a brother and go back with over 20 years, is being overly sensitive and a tad irrational. And so, to stop the phone calls and the screaming, to someone who is in no way involved in the postings, I've edited this harmless post. And this posting will NOT be edited. Happy Memorial Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited by ADMIN....just to keep the peace. It will NOT happen again. Period.

If we're not careful, if we do not band together, and help each other, our destruction will come from the enemy within.

Dave's words were harmless and weren't vicious. It's too bad you had to take that action, admin.

And who is screaming and yelling??/ No one is calling me. Why don't you share that with us....
