Thanks again for the FREE papers.

With the Free Speech that mentioned a breach of the Ten Commandments by a lawyer, wow, Cal was afraid that there would be a public stoning so I think he left the Free Speech off the online version for the sake of the poor fella's neck.

The Free Speecher accused a lawyer of an affair before he got divorced and the daughter was mad. Gee, that's never happened in Fayette County before. And in a campaign involving three lawyers it's not like the three of them over the years as lawyers haven't....heck, I'll stop there before I get the gong. Don't worry, Natural--- nothing in there about Dunn's Campaign for Westmoreland's about-to-be-empty Congressional seat.

Seriously, its probably just an IT delay.

I cringe when I see how sloppy some of the teachers dress. Even when their pictures appear in the paper for something worthwhile they have done, some look sloppier than any of the students. How can we expect our students to care about their appearance when may of our teachers look like slobs? Recently, I attended Honors Night at a local high school where a male student received a military scholarship worth thousands of dollars. He was an attractive young man but he wore cargo shorts and flip flops. If receiving this scholarship was not important enough for him to dress up just a little, you have to wonder what he performance will be otherwise. Clothes may not make the person but it definitely makes a better impression when one is dressed nicely.
The same goes for church. People come dressed for church like they would for a picnic. This is both adults and children. I know they have lowered the bar in order to get better attendance but there are just some times when a person should make a little more effort.

Did you happen to notice the Mason jar above my head the other day? Nah... I never touch the stuff. I thought you might take it to your next Democrat meeting and show our Yankee Heckler a little Southern Hospitality.

Lunch was a great time. I had a blast. As Hack used to say... Cheers!

Thanks for asking!!! Nothing so far. The CAT scan was done. There is an outside chance the doctor will look at it tomorrow. Maybe we'll know something then. Mrs. Cy and son have a face-to-face with the doctor on Tuesday.

Is it when he walks or stands? Sitting? I understand how painful that is for you to see him like that. We'll keep the prayers up for him that the doctors diagnose properly and that they've able to rebuild him.

I'm betting on Bugaboo Creek closing down next, followed by Haverty's and Sports Authority. I'll give Guitar City only 2 years, to the dismay of Muddle.

you're giving a thumb up for Onyx? Bugaboo, that overpriced place that Mrs. Cy loves, I can see it gone. I kind of like Sports Authority. I would hate to see it go. Guitar City, I'm surprised that it's still there. I bet the lease on that place is very expensive. Besides, I don't like to be greeted by someone that metal stuck in them. It's personnel thing you know. I don't like “punkers”, sorry.

It makes me lose my appetite. What about multiple tattoos? People surely can be unhappy when living in the greatest country in the world. I've talked with some of my relatives who were kids during the Depression and friends who've lived in other countries, and try to remind myself every day how good we have it now.

You have been gone way too long!!!! BTW, who left the gate open at the hospital? There's an all points bulletin to find $

Haven't been there Cy. I usually go to places after the recommendations of friends. Nobody I know has been there. I've got kids that I don't take to pricier places for obvious reasons. It would be a waste of money.

I wouldn't mind trying it sometime. But, knowing how snotty the owners have appeared on here has kind of removed the enthusiasm for my wanting to take Mrs. Git there on a date. We really enjoy the City Cafe, Village Cafe or Pascals.

I haven't been there yet but, I heard good things. I think I'll surprise the wife.

My goodness, I really got spoiled with so many people being on vacation last week, Mon, Tue, Wed, traffic was very light. . .this morning, everyone is back! It was a slow drive this morning.

My anniversary and turkey day were both very nice. How was your day?

Well, ended up having prime rib rather than turkey. My youngest was and still is battling a nasty cold. Mrs Cy got it Thursday and past it to me. Yesterday, it hit me at church. It has been downhill for me since noon yesterday. So I don't know if I'm going in. I got this database project that I need to work but, if you can't think clearly you can get lost in building search queries. I'm going to give myself one more hour and then make the call.

One real nifty thing I saw yesterday were wild turkeys - not the drink - but the real thing. I have lived out here for just over 20 years and never seen that. Of course, I never seen it in Los Angeles either.

We used to see wild Turkeys often in PTC. Used to be several that we saw all the time next to 54w, near Gingercake.

How's Hutch? Y'all had a great season with the Tigers. Sorry it's over for this year.

It was a supper season for them. They all needed this after all the down years that they had. Hutch is going to be all right. He has another three years of being a band parent.

That flock of wild turkeys was directly behind my house this morning. It was really neat to watch them.

BTW, I did get to Dustin's (highflyer"s son) grave and said a prayer.

That was nice of you to visit Dustin. I try to go by when I'm in the area.

I believe it is pretty irresponsible on you part to post this false knee jerk reaction. I talked to at least a dozen kids last night, including my son, and they had no idea what I was talking about; I even had a conversation with the SRO, no truth to any of these.. As a matter of fact, he wanted to know if I knew the individual spreading this vicious rumor. One thing is to be aware of what’s going on, but what you posted here is totally irresponsible!

You need to talk to the RSO again. He knows about it.

Did this rumor just start today? I guess there will be more info in the paper tonight.

These kids just want attention, and they are getting it from everyone but their parents.

People if you are not going to love them and take care of them STOP HAVING THEM! The rest of society doesn't want to deal with these problems. Stop having kids unless you are ready for the serious responsibility.

Skyspy, on behalf of the parents in this forum I want to thank you for your continued wisdom and sage advice in the areas of parenthood.

Steve

I'm sorry I didn't mean to be flip or condescending. I am amazed at how many parents are too busy for their kids.

If you work 60-80hrs a week and can't afford a live in nanny, you don't have the time to give kids the care they need. They aren't a stuffed animal you can put on a shelf when you get busy.

I have worked with different animal rescue groups, when people turn in a pet they usually claim "not enough time to give the pet quality care". When will people start to give kids the same consideration?? Can you give a child quality care? (and I'm not talking about giving them alot of money either) When will people stop having kids automatically and instead give it some serious thought. Only a very small number of people think seriously about the quality of care their career and life will allow them to give a child. It's sad.

I'm not a parent by choice, because I don't have the time and I don't want to make the time. Being a parent is a full-time job. Some people contend that I am too selfish. I think it is selfish to have a child and then ignore it for 18yrs.

I know many people who do put alot of time and effort into their kids, and even they admit it is a daily struggle. Kids these days are dealing with so many more issues than we did. There are no easy answers. Even the people who have the time are struggling to be parents in todays world.

I also am amazed by how careless parents can be, not to mention selfish. They forget that everything they do is reflected in their kids. They want to blame everyone else, but really need to take a good long look in the mirror.

Thinking this kind of goes back to the theory I stated the other day -when a generation of hippie, anti-establishment, anti law enforcement, mind altering recreation, free love, kind of folks, who didn't really care about much of anything, and they have children . . .what can we expect? Kids that don't really care about much of anything . . .have no respect for the establishment or law enforcement.

It is frightening isn't it? Rumor, fact, foolishness, attention seeking or whatever the devil is going on, it is frightening.

"when a generation of hippie, anti-establishment, anti law enforcement, mind altering recreation, free love, kind of folks, who didn't really care about much of anything, and they have children . . .what can we expect?"

Would you call PTC and Fayette County residents who vote republican to the tune of 85% "hippie, anti-establishment, anti-law enforcement?" Just because you wish it were a hippie problem does not make it so. This is a conservative Fayette County above average income problem that can't be blogged off on a demographic group that does not fit. It seems that even good old fashioned patriotic America-loving conservatives can raise kids who make bad decisions and crave attention. This would be such a case. But no one is served by trying to pretend this is a Greenich village problem. We own it and it'll be up to us to solve it.

Kevin "Hack" King

You are absolutely right, and I will listen to other people's opinion.

Perhaps my limiting my thoughts to one segement of the 'parent' generation is incorrect. I will stand corrected. However, I still believe how the parents behaved in their youth, and they then grow up with those residual thoughts, habits, etc . . . does have a great influence on the kids of today.

When I hear of PTC parents hosting parties, and supplying the 'refreshments', seems to me to more or less encouraging their kids to misbehave and break the law; ummm this doesn't sound like 'conservative parenting'. Just wondering what can we then expect when parents are the major part of the problem.

You are absolutely correct, we own it and it'll be up to us to solve it. I'm just hoping the 'solving' comes very soon and very quick before someone or someplace is blown away.

I know exactly what you mean about the parent-sponsored parties. I often wonder if some parents are scared of growing up or just want to be their child's buddy. I know that sometimes I will have to be very unpopular with my kids to do what is right. I'm not sure why so many of us parents who should know what their kids are doing don't. I'm one of those that sits up until the head count is done at the end of the night and everyone is in. Oh, and I highly recommend those pesky alarm systems that beep whenever a door is openned in your house. You don't even have to pay for monitoring; just put the control in the master bedroom, and NO ONE is SNEAKING ANYWHERE.

Cheers,

Kevin "Hack" King

I think you've hit the nail on the head in saying the parents are scared of growin up, and want to be thier kid's friend.

It is a sad thing to see kid's wasting their lives. I know there is a time to be young and have fun, we all did it - but somehow there is a big difference between back in the day, when 'rolling' someone's house was daring; and now when kid's make terrorist threats and/or follow through with that threat.

Guess I've turned into my parents and grandparents, as I sit and shake my head wondering about these kids today!

Its good to hear from you. I see Git Real isn't working you too hard.

People are throwing their kids away. I can't figure it out. I don't have any kids because I knew it was hard work. I already have one full time job I don't need another.

Tell Git Real to give you the holidays off or you'll go on strike.

Seems kids are totally out of control these days, a very sad mess for all of us, wish we could find the solution.

As for time off . . .my main duty all day, every day, is to make the boss look good . . .I do that very well, I mean very very well . . .so I'm thinking I probably can make plans for a couple of days off ;^)

This rumor started at the end of last week. I heard about it yesterday (Monday) and called the school today. Parents, if you have a child at any school in this county and they hear of any such "rumor", please be sure and follow up with the school to make sure they know about these things. And I agree with Skyspy.
A little advice here.... Make your children's business YOUR business and you'll find out a LOT.

Where have you been? Is Git becoming an overbearing boss?

Naw, don't see or hear much from ole Git these days. I'm trying to keep a low profile, just long enough to get to those Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. Maybe if I'm real good and under the radar I'll get a few extra days off.

You make our principal sound like Carter and you make our school sound like a war zone. Mcintosh is not FULL of violent people. It only takes a few to spoil the bunch. As a Mcintosh student of three years, I have witnessed many incidents in which the administrations concern for the students was apparent. I obviously do not know who you are, but you do not know what you are talking about.
