Re: Off Topic 2012

My friend from high school came home from work last night and found out his 8 year old son tried to commit suicide. This is his youngest child and only son. Apparently in school these kids were bullying him ruthlessly because he wear glasses and is pretty small for his age. That is so messed up. I could never ever think of an 8 yr old wanting to kill them self.

Times have changed. When I a kid yeah some kids bullied others, cracked jokes on other kids but nobody killed themselves over it. A lot of fights happened because of bullying and name calling, but that was about it.

Wow, I wouldn't even think that would cross an 8 yr old's mind. That's terrible.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

Taylor Swift was dating this guy?




In the history of the phrase, I believe this is the most appropriate time to use it. What. The. ****.

I guess if you got name recognition you don't need anything else.

So... which guy is this... was this You Belong With Me guy or Our Song guy or some different guy that she wasn't riled up about enough to write a song about.

Speaking of coffee......how many scoops do you guys use for a pot of coffee ? I am not a coffee drinker, my wife is though and she uses 2 scoops for a pot. How ever I been to some people houses and seen them use 5 scoops per a pot.

It depends on if I'm at home or work. Our coffee maker is smaller at home, so I use one "big" scoop. I like my coffee a little strong.

I don't want to see through it like it's tea.

So... which guy is this... was this You Belong With Me guy or Our Song guy or some different guy that she wasn't riled up about enough to write a song about.

I'm not sure, but they're probably never ever ever ever ever getting back together.

I don't keep up with her, but I remember her looking hotter previously. I don't remember her being that skinny either, but maybe I misremembering.

Either way, Kennedy Jr. looks like he's 13 years old.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Yeah, she never real did it for me.

She's cute, but that's about it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

A few weeks ago my wife and I were called by the school principal to tell us our son had been in an altercation and she wanted to speak with us.
Apparently, as told by a handful of 4th grade kids, 1 boy was picking on my son's best friend in the lunch line. My son told him to stop being a bully. The boy confronted my son at which time my son decides to go for the gut. Doubled the kid over.
Surprisingly, my son didn't get in trouble. But during the conversation with the principal she told us to be mindful of our sons behavior. I told her we will be sure to do that. I'll tell him good job on going to the gut of that bully and not the nose. Face shots can hurt your hand.

Re: Off Topic 2012

A group of us at work are dressing up for Halloween and our costume is the 7 Deadly Sins, any ideas on how to dress up as wrath/anger? I am thinking a serial killer, but not sure what to do.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Yeah, everyone has a different idea of parenting, but my parents always taught me to stand up for myself.

Apparently it doesn't matter if you fight back or not. It's hard for someone to teach their kid to not take up for themselves, when they are going to be disciplined either way in the local school system.

That's so sad. 8 years old man and wanting to take his life.

I've been seeing stories of elementary kids committing suicide over bullying. just so crazy. I don't think I even knew what suicide was.

Just rippin' on Sarah Jessica this morning

But I bet you guys didn't know the reason she has a face shaped the way she does is due to severe dehydration bouts as a child.

Her mom would lead her to water, but just couldn't make her drink.

Seriously, who the **** are you and where the **** did you come from?

OT has blown up so hard this week. I've been absent with 10-15 minutes to check the forums or so a day, but it took until now to catch up to this page. I hate that there are good *** posts I wanna respond to but they're days old now.

For the record. I tell my son. "Fight back, fight back hard". Don't take no ****. He knows he may get in trouble at school but at home he gets no flack for defending himself. And what's funny is he has never really had to defend himself but he has defended his friends numerous times. Typically just shouting matches. This time was physical.</p>
I know this time he didn't get into real trouble with the school but the next time I'm sure will be different.

Re: Off Topic 2012

So I'm watching a show on Discovery Channel, and they're talking about the possibility of a dark star that is orbiting the sun at the edge of the solar system. They think this star may be the cause of the consistency of mass extinctions on Earth (every 26 million years or so). The theory of this star is called the Nemesis theory.

Pretty interesting stuff.
