Keeping fish and being Mathematically challenged

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How to teach yourself how to swim:find a pool,put on life vest,flail around until u go the direction u want(it worked for my younger relatives).
It isn't uncommon for skinny people to have no buoyancy,as fat helps u float and bone and muscle makes u sink.
my friend is at least 12% body fat and he sinks like a rock.....maybe overly dense bones???
I swim fairly well, i can shoot very well, and float as well lol. Survivor

Apparently a lot of kids in the US are very undisciplined and rude, is this so?

Here kids can still be smacked and disciplined. it worked for me
The little misbehaving chaps on MFK are friggin ALTARBOYS compared to the little bastards we have the misfortune of dealing with in a public setting from time to time..... I have even heard parents talking about how they always let their kids have their way because they are afraid of their little 4,5, 6 years olds "being mad at them and you do NOT want that".

I want to go beat the hell out of those types of parents right now just THINKING about it......those are the same types of parents that end up visiting their kids in jail and juvenile detention because they were raised thinking they can do whatever they want whenever they want to whomever they want w/ no consequences or repercussions. BOTH parents AND kids need a belt to their backside in that situation.

Welcome to the downfall of society.

Last time I checked, it was the kids who listened and obeyed when the parents gave an order.
 
I think the key word is respect. Ill respect anyone off the bat, its your actions that determine whether i respect you more or show little respect to you.

I always try and keep level headed or ignore those with little respect, but at scouts the little ones who think its fun to mess with a 6'2" dude with a little more muscle than them then they are getting moved around a little... if you try and shove me ill push back

On the forum there is not really anybody that really gets on my nerves, and i hope i dont irritate anyone either...

This is hilarious! Is swimming a rare skill among tasmanians?
No, I'm the black sheep. There's a learn to swim program down here that starts around age 8 (I think) where the kids go to the pool and "professional" swim instructors teach the kids to swim. Even they couldn't teach me. :(

Wow. Have you tried randomly flapping your arms and legs till you move?

If you don't even float normally that is unusual...

Yup, every time I go to the beach I try a different flailing technique. I suppose I'm just not meant to swim, which sucks because I LOVE being in the ocean. :(

I got plenty of slaps on the ath as a kid, most of them with a plastic spatula, it never done me any permanent harm. Granted it hurt at the time, but that was kind of the point lol
Hello; When I was a child I thought the maple tree in the front yard was there so my mom had a place to get her switches.

and I'm a sook.
Hello; OK what is a sook?

How not to be a little c*nt! :p
Hello; Ha. Ha. I understand that one. Was married to one. I think it means a female who can cloud the mind of young males into thinking they are actually worth being around. The effect last just long enough to spoil your life. As far as I know can only be cured by divorce and time or either meeting another one.

long lasting foods like:boxed mac n cheese,boxed pasta,mores,honey etc),
Hello; How about dry beans and dry rice?

Hello; My best estimate from 32 years as a teacher is now up to 40%.

I did note the number of such increased after the paddle was taken away from teachers. For several years I had no real discipline issues in my classes. Only had to use the paddle a little. It was amazing how tapping a paddle on my desk could focus the mind of a student. Among the last years of my teaching experience nearly all forms of effective discipline tools had been taken away from teachers.

In NC I was often called a mother _ _ _ _er to my face in the classroom. I would write the students up (My only discipline option). The principal called me in after a time and explained as how I was "too thin skinned".
