I think she is an ugly cow. Her and Charles make the perfect couple. His face is like a cow's butt :H:H:H

THAT is my water butt - I have a second one which attaches to the first with a hose, so when the first is full, it overflows into the second. Just need to set them up. have wanted these for years - just needed to get the gutters sorted so having new ones worked perfectly.....

I had to sit at the table until my plate was clean or until my bedtime. If I hadn't cleaned my plate by bedtime they'd wrap the plate up and I'd have to eat it for breakfast! And of course my father loved calf's liver and beets so we'd eat that tripe all the time.

It wasn't until I was about 30 years old and had been living on my own for years that I realized I no longer had to clean my plate!

My Mom did this to. Really borders a long the line of abuse, at least these days it would. My Dad, at his folks place would take his fork & tap it on my plate & stare at me with daggers until I ate my peas. Too bad they didn't have a dog in the house.

I think back how they were taught from their parents to eat everything. The Depression Era. Then us TV, PC, Video Games. No wonder some of us had or have weight issues. Just a couple possible theories, of many.

Good thing many of us grew up & realized we can stop eating when were full, or do it 5 min b4 & see if were still actually hungry. I tried to teach my kids to try a bite of different foods, just so that they could explore their tastes. I never forced them or made them sit all nite at the table. I tried to establish healthy eating habits in them. I mean I'm thankful we had choices in our home. If we hadn't then they could go hungry, but still wouldn't have used those tactics.

ok...the paper witch story
I was a foster chid from the age of 3 till 13. I had a new "mommy and daddy" every year..it was thought that living with anyone longer than a year made bonds that were too traumatic to break.
well- the fish stick family had a very mean, controlling father.
One Halloween..I was prolly about 7...I walked into my dark bedroom to find one of those paper witches that have hinged joints...you know what I mean.
It was hanging on the light over my bed. It scared the living piss out of me. Honestly, I was terrifed. That mean bastard thought it was funny and forced me to sleep in that bed with that witch hanging there...I cried and cried, but he would not take it down. Witches still freak me out a little to this day.
As an adult I look back and wonder what the f was wrong with him...
Hubs is calling me for din din
bacinabit

I'm so sorry that happened!... Nobody will post scary images of w-----s here.

ohhhh sweetie
I know you had a rough childhood, too.
Here is my take on it
I am GLAD I was taken away from my birth mother.
Because of my constant moves as a child, I never meet a stranger. I am comfortable with strangers and speaking in front of a crowd.
I am an awesome, loving mom because I remember the pain of rejection as a child.
I have a wonderful husband that understands my bruised psyche and tries to protect me.
Granted it took me 50 years to get hee...but I am good now...just a wee problem with AL (not diminishing the Beast by ANY means)
and so are you!!

one day...if I can EVER slow down or retire, I may foster kids
my little siste and I were actually together until we were 8 and 10. Then the state seperated us. She went on to become a hooker and a heroin addict...NO JOKE!
I was lucky to be adopted by fairl affluent parents that put me in private school, dance classes, etiquetts and poise...you name it.
Wonder why none of it took???:H

That's the right attitude. Not sure if ur talking ta me or Oney, but it applies to us both. So I try & live my life like that too. It's made me a better Mom as well. Just I have a sensitive side & can relate, so I do cry, get tears in my eyes, cause I feel other peoples pain. :l
