True. This "just wait until I get you home!" is just hot air. The kid knows nothing is going to happen when s/he gets home and the parent knows nothing is going to happen when they get home. |

Or were you unable to communicate with him on that basis? I NEVER struck my son for punishment, ever! I was spanked as a child, and I resented it each and every time, and vowed never to spank. One time I felt like spanking I was so angry, but that was all in me. So I BROKE THAT CHAIN! A swat is not a spank. Nor is a stern look of disapproval. John Kuthe... |

If you're just swatting to show disapproval the punishment is not remembered therefore no real incentive to not do whatever they did to warrant a swat again. > Very often, just a frown or even a raised eyebrow did the trick. My father could give one of those withering looks and if you did something to warrant another disapproving glance then you knew you were in deep, deep trouble. |

Some children react to toys and privileges being taken away to modify their behavior. While some children only react to a spanking for punishment. Each child is different and you cannot lump them all into the 'reasoning with them' category. > I NEVER struck my son for punishment, ever!

Parents today seem to think a swat is bad but all this time out and lengthy lecturing does nothing. My kids knew if they behaved in a store, I might, might, give them a couple of bucks to spend at the end but if they didn't, it was out to the car and home which even if inconvenient, always worked. They liked going in shops and they knew they had to be civil if they wanted to stay there. It's a question of action and reaction and it's a fast teacher. |

His son had been told not to eat anything before lunch and he got caught eating some chips that his uncle had given him.. "That was bad. That was very bad. You are going to have to be punished. I am not sure what the punishment should be right now so I am going to think of something appropriate for a child who disobeyed his parents." The poor kid spent the next couple hours dreading what the unknown punishment was going to be. There was no punishment.... other than that couple hours of dread. |

But the criminals have it figured out there will be no real punishment. Now we don't even arrest them anymore. |

I did read an article many years ago that cloth napkins were indeed meant to be used more than one. The accepted manner was to refold/roll your napkin and place it back into your napkin ring. At the next meal you were to use the corner of the napkin that had not been previously used. The idea was to use your napkin for four meals before it had to be laundered. And at the time this was recommended, laundry was done with a washboard and by hand. |

There's some people here that will do that. That's so inconsiderate. I shall check to see if these people look pake. If you ask me, people should only spit straight up into the air. --- Pake? -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

We've got a couple (at least) discussions going. One on using cloth napkins in a contemporary setting and another on historic laundry technology. Cindy Hamilton |

Some people spent a month in the hospital with it, and were still quite ill when they were discharged. Permanent lung damage. Massive organ failure. Blood clots, leading to stroke or amputation. Only a fool minimizes the potential risk. Cindy Hamilton |

Most people will suffer from asymptomatic pneumonia which leads to reduced oxygen levels in their blood for up to 10 days which sets the stage for permanent lung damage which also helps sets the stage for total organ and system collapse. By the time you feel sick, you're already knocking on Heaven's door. A lot of folks won't ever go to the hospital but they'll suffer respiratory problems long after this all blows over. My guess is that people should get something like this and monitor their O2 levels daily: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Finger-Pulse-Oximeter-Blood-Oxygen-SpO2-Monitor-PR-PI-Respiratory-Rate-FDA-CE/353076569203 ==== Yes!

Four or five years, right before Obama left office he had mandated to the Social Security Administration that ALL seniors must have a cell phone to be able to access their accounts. Needless to say, that went over like a screendoor on a submarine. There was such a furor raised that SSA backed off on that requirement. They had hoped to send a text message to your cell phone with a numeric code which you would then use to sign in to your account. Now they just send that numeric code to your e-mail address. Seniors did not want to be saddled with a device that perhaps they have no use for or to pay for that device and possibly the charge for text messages. |

It is not just that the healthier people will show no symptoms. It also depends on the dose you get. A small dose will allow your body to develop antibodies and fend it off. A larger dose will replicate faster than your antibodies can deal with it quickly, and you get sick. |
