On the topic of kids

And we are obviously buying less and conscious of all our choices - escaping the consumerism of elaborate do-it-yourself decor and prepared cuisine, the soccer mom mystique, and the bored, lazy, 'gimme' kids.

Sometimes a quote comes along that really fits the way you think and live. This is one of those quotes, and the best part is that it comes from my DW. When you spoil you kids with love and a learning environment, no problem. I do believe that some parents do really take care of their kids and teach them to be strong non-whining adults that work to support themselves and intern teach the next generation to do the same. Then there is the rest of the parents that are raising whining think that they deserve everything but don't want to work for it spoiled brats that will complain about the government full time, but are the first ones there with their hands out and still think the should get more.... assbites!

Then again some people complain about the way we raise our kids saying that we are way too strict and should lighten up on them. We just want them to have more opportunity's that we do/did and to be strong adults that can carry on a conversation with other people that also have brain that is functioning.

And if you don't like the way I'm teaching my children........

Bravo! If I had kids, I'd want them to be yours.

Can I send you a couple of nephews that needed a parent with a little back-bone? Nice kids but incapable of thinking on their own, unaccustomed to being expected to work or organize anything on their own. I am sure that in a few months you could make a big difference in their lives. Of course one is 19 and the other one is 23, is it too late?

"do not accept any large packages with holes in the side!" Wait a minute... isn't that how you got WC in the first place?

Besides, DG probably wouldn't bother with the holes. Oh yeah, he really just loves his nephews...

Wow ... you guys need to come stay at our hotel, lol. God bless you in raising those kids the way you are. The world is overrun with slouching, indifferent, metal-studded-morons who have no idea how to converse with another person without a keyboard.

THE Woodchuck podcast LIVE!

http://www.thevap.com/ Episode 32: Get Hitched! It's a long podcast, I'm the last half of the podcast. This was taped after a 10 hour day at SEMA and sitting in a hotel room while on the phone. I then went to the airport to take a midnight flight home. So, will this make a diffenence in my job, will anyone care, or will it get me a pay raise??? NO. Today may be a great day to go back to being 10 years old where I had no stress.

Busted yet again

Now that we are POD people and all, I have to clean out the crawl space under 1/2 our house. The problem with this is that I sort of let DW think that there was very little to nothing left down there. SHE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS STILL A TON OF CRAP DOWN THERE. So now I'm picking up Cat crap as one of the furry little varmints started to live in the crawl space. I've moved out the eight pedal cars that were down there. I took what was left of the rafting/camping stuff over to fuzzballs place. And I really should call and tell him I did so, then again, maybe not. Now all I have to do is take down the shelves, finish taking the old store records out, and what else? Deck lid...check 6 boxes of toys...check road bike and trainer...check neon beer signs.....check old beer mirrors.....check raft and gear....check more old toys....double check Why is all of my crap in the crawl space? Don't answer as that was a rhetorical question. So in case I didn't mention this, we are movin...
