Best way to deal withbully is a big stick. Cyber bully i guess you hitum with a laptop. Just saying. Computer is down again so just checking in time to time on phone.

 

I know several folks here will appreciate this one....

(pic is clicky, because, as we all know, it's the comments that really steal the show! )

 

I don't work in a school but I do work with youth. It's my opinion that what we're seeing is 1) sensational horror stories and 2) that technology has significantly changed social interactions. Think about it: high speed internet + permanently connected device (iThing or various other camera enabled gadget) + teenage and young adult impulsiveness and lack of forethought about consequences = gross invasions of privacy and things getting posted online that shouldn't be. The same equation also goes for bullying- once the aggressor gets their blood up, then the internet + gadget gives easy access that allows him/ her to take the fight to the target, regardless of their physical location. Parents really need to think before they give their kids technology and/ or bring tech into the home.

Maybe, but it's also true that kids these face conflict on a whole new level. Humiliating content (video, rumor, etc...) can be posted to millions of people at the touch of a button. And that content may not disappear even if the relevant authorities act. Once it's out there it doesn't go away and can follow the target around for years to come, appearing at critical junctures of their lives- job interviews, college applications, even on dates if the other party uses google for a pre-date checkup.

 

I'd like to propose Matt Frewer as "The Clock King"

 

It is Friday and we are all a little bored at work. The veep is at lunch, so we "remodeled" his closet...

 

I think I know what my next office improvement is going to be...

 

that really needs to be posted at MthruF!

 

But I was going to go to Tashi station and pick up some power converters!

 

Cool! I just uploaded it. That is a fun site.

Glad to be of help.

 

The King of last paging has struck again!!

 

Well I started off the morning by putting my cereal in the dog bowl which was sitting on the counter then I used the new injector blades that Jeff just sent me in my vintage (but new to me) Stick Schick razor. After what I thought was the absolute worst shave of the year, I put my glasses on and discovered that last night the blade from the injector didn't load into the Stick................after putting a blade in it was a remarkable shave and a joy. Oh, though I grabbed the Arko plastic tub and instead grabbed the Cella plastic tub for lather. I like the Arko much better as it smells good.::kngt

 

WAKE UP!!!

 

O.K.!!! I'm awake. What a great thread of randomizes. Yesterday my oldest son (18 years) went to homecoming. I had to drive, as he still does not have his license. So I drove, then I came home. Baked 2 loaves of friendship bread, 2 pounds of chocolate/butterscotch fudge, and several bars of shaving soap (all in that order) before 11:00 p.m. It barely kept me out of trouble. Then I had to go get son from the dance. Then I went to bed. Now it is 11:15 a.m. and I am up and I'm going to eat some friendship bread and then get in the shower! See ya later gators.......

 

What's up, fellas? Been quite in here again. Good day today. Had some guys out to replace the roof in our place over Harford County.

 

Hey! Long time no see..

Weather damage or just routine work? There certainly has been a fair number of storms this year.

 

Ahh... Just age really. That house has not had much done over the last decade or so. Nobody lives there now, but I am trying to get it fixed up enough now to start renting it out.

 

What's friendship bread?
