One of those stick on decal thingies...apparently all the popular gals in her school have them so I see no harm in it.

No kidding. At Halloween parties, the wife uses them too. Just wondering if it was real or not. If a tattoo is tastefully done, I like it. If it is just so the person, male or female wants to be an attention whore, I don't. A tattoo where someone can still look professional is nice. A tattoo right on the face or neck, with piercings all over the face just doesn't look nice to me.

It still amazes me that common sense parenting responsibilities and expecting more out of your kids is outside the norm are considered "harsh" these days. My kids are getting off easy with me compared to my father, and compared to most of the parents we've come across we're practically authoritarian.

Let me ask you this. Which is harder? Let the kids loose or keep them controlled till they are old enough to decide their path? I think the former is easier. Well, the mindfawks tell us that if you this, that or the other, it will break their self esteem and all that psychobabble. Now, look at the kids we have today. There is no guarantee that your kids will be ok. However, the odds are that your kids will at least lead productive lives and not be a leech on society. IMO, the mindfawks tell us what we want to hear and we use that as an excuse to leave the kids be.

Well,I say tough *****.
My Grandfather gave me unconditional acceptance and love but that did not take a material,specious form.

Anything I wanted I had to earn.Besides,nothing made me sleep sounder that a hard day's labor. I can still taste the wellwater coming from the hose in the late afternoon,best drink I ever had.

Yep,one's a brindle. They are both sisters.

I originally took 1 but somebody returned the other gal so I figured what the hell,why not have 2.

Funny thing is my daughter can do anything with them and all they do is lick,never even so much as nipped her.

Carleton- Too cute. As you mentioned before it's how you raise them.

Great looking pups! They look like my brown Pit, Mary.

Oh yeah- Did you know they're vicious? Time to ban them.

3 taps to banners.

When I walk my Pit and AmStaff, a lot people ask about their temperment. No need to say much because they demonstrate great canine "citizenship" and smother the questioner with woofs of joy and fun loving antics.
