Buy two earrings, get one free.
I can just imagine what a youngster would think when they saw that... yes., that appeared on a sign here at a Pottsville shopping place. The sign actually means buy two pair, get one pair free... but I thought it was funny.
I was at the doctor's today for my monthly allergy shots. I sat next to a mom and her daughter... I'm kinda disappointed with how this certain young lady acted and reacted... no pleases or thank yous, just gimme gimme gimme. Then when mom didn't understand what she said, her jovial response was 'you're so stupid.' Now I may have thought that, but I never said it out loud, let alone in a public place. It's amazing what kids get away with these days. I admit, I've been grounded, I've been told no TV, I've been punished for lying and other offenses growing up... as late as 20 years old.
I'm not a parent, but plan to be before I turn 50. I'm kinda upset with a general lack of parental discipline these days. I can't count how many times I see someone misbehaving and not being punished for things where if I was caught, I would have been grounded for a year with no TV, no radio, and no phone... backtalking, badmouthing, temper tantrums, lying, etc. They say kids aren't what they used to be, neither are parents. I wonder how in-tuned parents are with their kids... do they check homework assignments, e-mails, cell phone bills, other bills etc.? Just a thought.

Talk with you at 6:00, if you aren't grounded from the radio.
Buckle Up,
