Yes, Muffy, there are definitely reasons and times for things, I agree completely.

For me it's not the skateboarding itself, it's those shoes with the wheels on them that kids ride in the mall. I have seen kids run into other people, fall and just be pushy with them.

I'm sorry to hear about your sons hearing loss! It certainly puts a bit more in perspective for me. I will try to be a bit more understanding.

Texting.....I did it when i had a cell.....it was fun and sometimes I did it because I didn't want others to hear what I was saying or so that I wouldn't disturb others. It's the people that do it while you are trying to have a conversation with them! That's what I don't like. It's like.....excuse yourself for a moment or something. You know?!

As for the pants that sag.....EWW! Sometimes they wear them so low you can see.....everything!

I think you're great, too!
