I am still here.

Just a short note to let you all know I am still in operation.A little older but still willing and able to cut the mustard when it appears. The Grandkids are still challenging my intellect and they are winning. Everday they prove to me I am not as smart as them.

So,what if I built regions of the internet and now could care less about an ipad or ipod or ipip etc,its not the same as a pencil and paper now is it. I love the spell checker,its a bonus when it works. I can manage to confuse that critter everyday,so whom is smarter,the man or the machine.?

So,I am smart,but with 4 people trying to prove you wrong,well its a game. However,that said,when the shithitsthefan,who can you call.?? Yes,its me,the old man,poppa,pops,gramps.grumpy,grandpus,old geezer,and hey you.!!.

Been there and done that and making it work is my motto, along with,get the hell outta the way and why don't you go to your mamma's place.!! or don't I hear your mamma calling,you,"oh,fuck-head dinner's ready".?.

*sorry,I forgot to put in a disclaimer that certain language may and will be used to only make certain its not mis-understood, understand?. Confusing,??,wait until you get here,all that doubt will be removed,trust me.!!.

Ok,so,if I made some sense,yahoo and ifin I didn't,I don't care, because judging by the look on your face,you are part of the problem and there is no solution for you other than to donate yourself to a museum.!!

Amen.

True story , I am not, Judge Judy, folks !.

Hi Joe and Family:

Trusting this finds you well and well steeped in the Christmas preparations. With the kids, it’s the school plays and Claus parades and we have many lights in our town. True story, again and it involves my kid and the privileged delinquent next door. Looking for mischief.(rumour has it, he maybe moving in the near future, on the far side of town, even rougher out there.).

With the fresh snow fall comes fresh problems. The younger kids make little forts and snow people political correctness??. Hell, it’s a snowman., Merry Christmas, Good tidings and good will to you and Happy New Year.

When ,I said Merry Christmas to “peter da meter reader”, what did he say, ”back at you”, wtf, I said to him and I ranted for 30 seconds and I said the next time he steps on the property, the Ninja Cat has his name. No mercy, none. “is that back at you enough for you” ?.,butt head..

Did I digress?, the older kids, the imbeciles, stupid-mutts, wreck havoc on the little guys creations. Across the street is the former neighbour family, why, because one of my kids, an older one, with a big oral cavity said for her to “go to hell and mind her own business”, opus, not what to say to a mom in front of her little kids and …!!.
.
Well, in the real world, this could been handled right there on the spot. Now, with the political awareness group, it’s a fiasco. This lady comes over a blaring, yelling, turning blue and exhaling all over ,even I, Zbig-e-nuff, the biker was afraid. It was a honest rant.

“Yes, I know, but I ain’t Judge Judy, it happened over there. You handle it, write a letter to editor, don’t yell at me, its not polite, you offend me, I have rights too.! Yes, they are my kids, “make them beha

Make them behave,sure,whatever you want.!

ve”?. Look whom is speaking, yelling at the top of your voice, wanting to inflict physical damage to a certain person.??” Finger pointing and arms flailing.?? Yes, very dramatic.

“Make them behave”, Are you really, really pissed off, please call the police. Press charges, get your name on the record. Go to hell,??, Then,. please send them home And fret not.(Judge Judy says so).

Whatz, up??. Short story, the kids are not allowed to play over there……ever.!! Any toys we left over there were promptly returned. So, that’s where that went.!!. Her husband comes over and mumbles, sorry,??, no its me that’s sorry, my younger kid like to play there. NO, more kids playing with my kids, please.!! We shake hands. DONE.!!.

Since this happened, her kids are no longer visible nor can I hear them playing outside. She must be tres’ pissed,. My kids still play outside but not near the “high voltage compound”, stay away OR ELSE.

Gotta go, the washer has buzzed, the sheets are done, time for the dryer. Housework, bah, humbug.!!

Seasons Greetings to you all politically correctness bunch and A Very Merry Christmas to the rest of you all. They have taken many things away from our core values, saying a prayer before meetings, singing God save The Queen and now messing with the Christmas spirit of people. Whose rights are being offended, non believers or the ones that still hold onto traditions steeped in our pioneer fabric.

If was good enough for them, its ok with me too.!!

Summer Adventures in the Hood.

Its been a while since the last episode of neighbor hood kids getting mean with each other and now that school is out that changes the dynamics a little bit. This kids now need to find more things to do that are constructive because the destructive is already in play. If one doesn’t think of it the other surely does.

The few that are sent to day camps are well cared for and if they all play together things work well or otherwise they get sent home early. If they continue to act out enough they get uninvited for the rest of the camp and become a pest at home.

Well, there are two little guys, well 11 and 12 yrs old isn’t little, but the brain power sure is. They were caught doing damage to properties and taking turns in out doing each other in their challenges. The last straw was a assault on two smaller kids with threats and actually knocking them off their bikes.

The parents were quick to fix things but the promise of “law enforcement action” was loudly stated and implied to each of the boys. Only one was given his just desserts and the other got away scott free. And to keep them apart is going to be a chore since both seem to ignore our instructions in this manner.

The scott free kid has no discipline at home or suffers no consequences, so he is disadvantaged by his parent whom can’t do anything with him, he also swears enough to make me blush and at times its directed at adults. Old school, would be the “wood shed”, should we be bringing these buildings back??.

So, if they (parents) call the police, it will be outta of our hands and then its off to the “juvenile hall” to let them deal with it. I prefer to send both of them to a “friendly boot camp” where you work to eat and you eat to work for a time until you understand you are a nasty and need to pull up your socks. Some where in this place you have to shovel “horse shit”, exercise, leadership and education is provided. FREE!!.

There is nothing like mucking out a stall, you throw your weight in horse shit all day. And guess what tomorrow you get to do this again. You start to get an appreciation of nature at work. How can a horse produce so much shit and he doesn’t really do anything in return.??, by now the reality is sinking in.!!

At the moment our society is leery on doing this because of the age of the kids and other problems on being inclusive or exclusive. You can’t be sugar coating this, “they are little criminals ” unless you intervene you have failed your child and yourself. Little Johnny “ain’t cute anymore”. But, in real life this corrective society exists and it does help the ones that want to free themselves of self destructive behaviors.

Tough love is ok folks, somebody benefits, remember its for their good. Beat your chest and cry, but please get over it. Funny thing is; behind our backs the kids play together and have fun and the parents are still pissed off about it, but its not clear why or at whom???. That is really extraordinary.

So, this begs the question, whom is the fool here.??

Pick, him up, ASAP please !

I am sorry: - -that I hit / hurt with my hands



-I used to kick with my feet.



-I made fun of people.



-I caused problems on the bus.



-I was rude to the bus driver.



-I was rude to my class mates.



-I was rude to my teachers, indeed I am sorry.



The other day we get a call from the school to inform us that our grandson is suspended for the remainder of the week from school. And would we come and pick him up ASAP please. With a quick summary of what happened to cause this call from them, I said I would be right up there. So, the question is, how can a little kid cause so much chaos, that they have to suspend him?.


If, You read the few words above it will explain what happened to have them finally give up and send him home to us. I, guess when you push and shove the consequences are some one gets hurt and it wasn’t pretty.


The school had agreed to a playground arrangement where as the boys that were prone to fight , would be separated from each other and they could play without incidents and be monitored.

The experience was working out well and every one seemed to get along and then it was decided to let them play together and see what would happen. What, happened was my kid was sent home. The boys began to call names, push, shove, kick, gash, gouge, swing fists and so on.

I am sure he wasn’t the eventual winner, but he got to go home and leave the school in a comparative peaceful state. So, why are we penalized for his mistakes.?, aren’t you supposed to handle this at school?.

These teachers are great, but you can only bend over so far.!! Rules, are made for guidance.

As, I have written before, I ain’t Judge Judy and I don’t want to be. As for the other boys, I didn’t ask, (maybe, they were sent home) ?? ,not likely.

So, he had all his privileges suspended at home and that was a unpleasant task for him to accept. He was given small chores to do to keep him busy and to think about his actions at school. The reason for his reprimand, which has long faded from his mind and he is now pissed about having to do menial labors and also at us for making him do it.

We explained it wasn’t us you should be upset about ,its yourself. Your behaviors weren’t appreciated and you have the consequences to pay. Slowly, his privileges were returned or taken away again if his actions didn’t improve. Please, don’t ruin our day because you are in a grump.

Trying to be positive about this situation is difficult and my opinion is; the kid is enjoying the extra attention. And if he learns anything about this experience it’s dubious to me, right now. So, he had to write a letter to say he was sorry and He would make an effort, to improve.!! (we have heard this before) might happen.

Stay, tuned as this adventure no doubt, will continue.     

* As a side note,the boys were sent to day camp and every day one or the other or both,  is asked to leave early for behaviour.There is a waste of money,NON REFUNDABLE, ouch.!! Rules.!! If you carry this forward,you see why kids get sent home from school, they can't handle them.!!!


Facts are; the kids come first, but in the end, will they be the enabled??. Should, kids come second in some things??. Are we too lenient??. Should we bring back the strap??? That, will be my next enlightenment, just as much for you, as it will be for me.!! Man, .I just gotta read this.


What, am I thinking?, well I am not sure, not.! Don’t forget now, this is my opinion, based on what happens in real time. Life, isn’t fair, so get used to it.


I, am not one to shy away from anything, you can’t, there is belief in what I do and sometimes it isn’t the popular thing. Now, I know what a political person feels like. “ I, love it, ??, nope! Satisfying?, nope. Is it worth it?. If, it teaches my kid a lesson, and he benefits, yes.! I, will do what it takes.

Hi,who is next??.
