I think you can still beat your feet on the Mississippi mud.

I don't know, ordinarily I'm opposed to beating kids, but look at some of the people from Florida- like Eagler, for instance- and it's obvious they weren't beaten enough as children. Maybe the other 49 States should stay out of this one.

While I dont need to beat my kids, there have been times I wanted to beat someone elses.

it's also a pastime here to hang libs and dumbacrats...

what else is there to do on a hot humid afternoon while waiting for the daily rainstorm

hehe EW, I was "disciplined" as a child, and the amazing thing is I usually deserved it - imagine that.
The ironic thing is I feel now that my sons are 17 & 23, I was probably too easy on them and did not spank them enough for their own good. But neither is in jail, runaway or drug addicts so sumpin worked out

and I have a great grandbaby to boot

I have a wooden spoon. I've used it twice. Once for the first kid, once for the second. I haven't had to use it since, and I have people call me all the time (well, 3 times this summer) and say "I just can't believe how polite your kids are!"

Now, the spoon was used in severe cases to discipline bad behavior, but more importantly, ethics was taught with positive reinforcement. The kids *know* where the spoon is, and what it is for, consider it a political weapon of war as Nuclear weapons are

. They're also consistently *rewarded* for good behavior with love and positive reinforcement, the latter not only from us, but others that meet our kids.

That kid is WAY too cute to come from an inbred conservative Gator eatin household.......... Eagler did you adopt a Democrat?

What do conservative gators taste like, anyway?

All kidding aside, that is a face I'd never want to see on a milk carton. Take good care of her!
