The Power of Discipline: Shaping Stronger Futures for Our Children In recent years, there's been a troubling trend among parents to prioritize friendship over discipline when it comes to raising their children. But let's face it, being a parent means much more than just being a buddy. It means instilling values, setting boundaries, and teaching accountability from day one. Discipline isn't about punishment; it's about teaching children that actions have consequences. By setting clear expectations and enforcing rules, parents lay the foundation for responsible behavior and respect for authority. Saying "no," administering consequences like extra chores or earlier bedtimes, and implementing timeouts are all vital tools in shaping well-rounded individuals. Unfortunately, when discipline is lacking, the consequences can be dire. Children who grow up without boundaries often struggle to respect authority, follow rules, and empathize with others. This lack of disci

Respect in the Art World: A Reminder for Critics and Connoisseurs Let's talk about something important: respect. Just because something isn't your cup of tea doesn't give you the right to be rude, crude, or downright disrespectful. We've all got our preferences; for instance, I'm not into sports gear, and Picasso's art doesn't quite speak to me. And that's okay! Here's the deal: if you don't like something, simply scroll on by. There's no need to unleash your inner troll. And if you're not an artist or a buyer for a gallery or museum, well, your opinion carries even less weight. It's easy to throw stones, but it's much harder to create something truly remarkable. Put yourself in the shoes of the artist whose work you're about to tear apart. How would you feel if someone who couldn't tell a paint brush from a pencil started bashing your creations? Not great, right? So let's all take a step back, check our egos at the do

Embracing Independence: Why I've Decided to Stop Dating In a world where dating apps and blind dates dominate the scene, I've made a bold decision: I've stopped dating altogether. And let me tell you, it's been the most liberating choice I've ever made. Gone are the days of stressing over what to wear, where to meet, and whether or not there will be a spark. Instead, I've embraced my independence and reclaimed control over my life. One of the key reasons behind my decision? Safety. Call me cautious, but I refuse to let anyone into my personal space. That means no inviting dates to my home or sharing my address. I've always been a "meet you there" kind of person, and I intend to keep it that way. Maintaining boundaries is crucial in today's world, especially when it comes to dating. By keeping my home and workplace off-limits to romantic interests, I ensure that my safety and security remain uncompromised. Let's talk about transportation. S

Mixed Up Priorities It seems to me that people today have their priorities all kinds of mixed up. I read one female's post today where she said she would move from her current state to the state she is likes more BUT her BOYFRIEND doesn't like it. Boyfriend?? You are letting your favorite dick, who is not your (legal) HUSBAND, dictate your life? To me that's unthinkable. I've been married to a guy like that and am now very happily divorced for nineteen years. And I've been a dumb bitch like said female much later for someone I loved. Dumb because he wouldn't have stepped over a puddle for me much less go out of his way for me like I had done many times. So please gals, and any dudes that behave just as stupidly, DO NOT be acting wifey (or husbany) to a lover if you aren't legally married to said person. Do not shack up. Do not squirt out kids for him. Do not let him or her dictate where you live, where you work, where your kids stay, if you can
