I want your posts & replies to be in RED, Jim. So much easier to find. After not being on since the changes, the first thing I did was to hunt for an update post and went all the way to page 3, started over, then found your post. Please color your username RED.
Agree, Catbookss. I haven't been on in a few, and after logging in In Theatres hit me in the face and the "Well, Crap!" came out. I'd rather see Trending FIRST.
No, I haven't. I forgot about it actually. I think I decided to take it off my list on Netflix. Maybe I'll add it back.
Thank you, MEMOREX.
I don't envy you, withatwist, having talks with her. Different aspects could be helpful though for the age she is right now.
I thought about retirement, then said no, I'll do something entirely different, so I drove a school bus Tier Level, which was the elementary (ages 7-11) and the highschool (15-18). I saw every aspect of the show in all the children, regardless of their age. Driving these children everyday and seeing and hearing what this generation is having to deal with is still unfathomable, and being an object OF the worst of their behavior was the deciding factor in just up & quitting one evening.
I'm sitting here SMH at the pressure children are under from an early age such as your daughter. I think parents from my point of view Are too naive. It was a rare child who's parents were fully involved with their child's day-to-day life beyond the help with homework, eat, go to ball practice, etc, and I had diverse socio & ecomomic little heathens.
I haven't seen Nightmare in so many years I've forgotten who Rod is.
I wish someone would do a remake focusing on the 10-12 year olds.
I don't doubt they're going through some of these things. I was around 7-18 year olds on a daily basis for almost 3 years, and I was shocked, at first, by what's going on now. Later I just wanted to ring their necks!
I'm thankful I don't either, hownos. I do have 15 g'children I worry about having to grow up during these days. The world is definitely not the same as back then.
I was uncomfortable during a few, Joey, but depending on the child, I stand by the age. Children might not have the emotional maturity to understand it, but a parent or trusted adult could watch with, and use it as a catalyst for an indepth talk/question session.
LOL. I usually do at some point though.

No, nature is not inherently evil. Nature is survival of the fittest.
@lasteven
I've hit 60 and it affected me enough to recommend it to all of my children ranging from 27-41. I think it should be shown to every child entering middle school, but my son said no, entering high school is a more realistic age.

"if you drive by my street, you are partially responsible if you get shot."
I can understand that, and as a rape 'victim' (well into my 30s) I knew for a fact I was partially responsible because I shouldn't have placed myself in the situation.

Yes, we figured it out. Just as winslow said, he was a friend she could trust to carry out her wishes. Tony was written at the top of her list, with a question mark beside his name. In death she wouldn't know whether he gave the tapes to the first person, and subsequently have them passed to the next person, and so on, according to who was on Tape 2 side A, etc.
A Very Long Engagement
arvin, I could care less if you are trolling or not. I'll answer just the same because maybe just maybe someone else reading this thread completely will have their eyes opened.
We were talking about this in another thread. My youngest daughter was quoted in one of Dave Ramsey's books. Divorced, raising children, works a full time job, goes to University full time, owes no debt, and owns everything she has outright. She's the smart one, and under 30.
On the other hand, my other youngest isn't completely there yet. Like you, he fell on hard times, lost his job of many years which while he had it led him to think the money he made would last forever, albeit, living pay check to pay check. He was out of work totally for a year and a half. Now mind you, my dil worked, but their income was cut to 1/4 of what it was and the bills started to pile up, as did the use of credit cards for the 'emergencies'. He's back at work, still focused on the debts, but little things are creeping back in such as paying for 'emergencies' with a credit card.
One child of mine FREE. Another child of mine ENSLAVED.
Having and using a credit card is too close for comfort. It's UNcomfortable to pay for anything with what one has in their pocket or their bank account at the moment one wants to, but it can be done. It's delaying that instant gratification, arvin, with the reminder of Just-How-Uncomfortable-Having-To-Pay-The-Debt-Off-Is.
Ya gotta wonder why they're pushing, pushing, pushing people to use credit cards, and to make their purchases, as well as to pay their bills on their phones. Enslavement.
Cash. If you don't have the cash, don't buy it. Cash only, and you'll be amazed at how quickly all the stress starts going away. I refuse to be indebted to anyone.
One can justify using a credit card every which way to hell, but one is still indebted..until the card is paid off completely.
"I used the ratings as a way to keep track of which shows I had already watched, vs which ones I had not watched yet."
That's what I did, Popcorn Kernel. Oh, well..
"Why are many people jealous of corporate world & its people?"
Flat out truth be told, they act like they're better than everyone else PERIOD
You and me both, April. Unless it's simple and funny, or cute like the Haribo Gummi, or the Dorito(???) commercial where the woman's about to have the baby.
Maybe I'm too old, but I don't get why the Pepsi commercial is so offensive, unless as you said it's because a Kardashian's in it.
