Throw Back Thursday

Do you remember those items/experiences as a child that bring up feelings of nostalgia? For me they are normally simple things that cause me think back to my childhood and the carefree life. I’ve decided to dedicate Thursdays to those old memories.

For my first post, I’m going to take you back to the days when I didn’t always have money for candy, so I did what any creative child with a NEED would do, I made some. My ingredients – dry Kool-aid and salt – it was a type of powdered candy. I know I know, it wasn’t something everyone liked, sometimes I used sugar, but I really liked the tangy taste of the salt. It’s amazing I don’t have high blood pressure. LOL

Chime in with your own Throw Back Thursday memories.

Do Children Deserve Privacy?

I’ve noticed several folks stating that children deserve privacy. Each time I hear those statements, the hair on the back of my neck stands up. You see I am of the opinion that children need guidance and direction and that is the job of the parent – in order to provide that guidance, you need to know what is going on. I told my kids years ago that they should have “No expecation of privacy while living under our roof”. I went thru EVERYTHING and there were no locks on the doors. I even had spyware on the computer at one point.

There was a kid (white boy – around 13) around the corner from us that built a gun and accidentally shot his self in the arm (he put the firing pin in backwards). I was thinking, how did his parents not know what his little behind was building…I know that project took some time, patience and money. When I saw his little behind walking down the street with a cast on after his “accident” I wanted to ask him who he was planning to shoot with that homemade gun….little terr-a-ists (as pResident Bush would say).

Everytime I hear someone say kids need privacy I think of the little boy around the corner……..

Total Insanity

It seems some of the teens of today have lost their mind. Recently as many as 8 teenagers lured a 16 year-old in a house and videotaped themselves taking turns beating her. Now – I find it interesting these little cowards had to all gang up on the girl – but you know that’s the way cowards do it.

The plan was to post this nonsense on youtube and mypace, but I guess the authorities beat them to it. Reports indicate that these little hellions will be charged as adults.

On a side note: I knew a few sistahs back in the day that would have whooped every one of those heffas. They would have been the ones in the hospital. And the video camera would have been broken into itty-bitty pieces.
