re: #281 MandyManners

Thirty-four years? Oh, that must be a kick in the stomach! I hope the bastard reaps what he sows.

As for understanding men, I’m thinking raising The Kid might give me a few insights into the male psyche. One of my more important goals is to teach him to never, ever hit a woman.

I always loved her hubby, we were a group of 3 couples, all of us with two kids each about the same ages, and we did everything together - holidays, parties, we even built houses in the same suburb

All three couples divorced - not a good record at all

As for teaching the kid not to hit women, I wish this was something that just was natural and didn’t need to be taught but I did the same with my boy

One thing that distressed me recently, a patient with cigarette burns and she was not telling anything about it to us

Just one of those things, she said….
