Maybe I should close the door when I go in there.
She also gives me evil looks. 
Being in a house that people say is haunted and seeing things to that effect is pretty fucking scary, though.
But the one THING that just creeps me the FUCK out is those old porcelain dolls with the realistic eyeballs. My mom used to have one and one time I was watching TV in the room it was in and I heard a 'Thunk' noise and I looked over at the doll and saw to deep, dark black eye sockets. Scared the hell out of me. The eyes had fallen off their harness and fell backwards into the ceramic head. But I was a damn kid. AIIEIIGGHGHGHHH!@#@$
This effect was terrifying for me when I was younger.

Yeah, same with me... Especially anything with empty eyesockets... Empty eyesockets scare the living shit out of me.

What freaks me out more is parents hitting their kids in public. It's fuckin' illegal over here now and I think it's abuse, full stop. But hy do they do it around me, especially when im in work and can't run away or cover my ears!? *shudders*
*thinks*
Zombies and lawyers. I'm not talking about Gydyon type lawyers who are approachable. I'm talking about the bad sort of sheister lawyers. All over the place down here. It's like tapdancing in a mine field if you need anything legal done.

Hitting how? I don't agree with smacking a kid around, but they do need a pop to the bottom sometimes if other methods don't work. And you aren't always going to be able to be in the privacy of your own home for that pop to the bottom. I know I got plenty when I showed my ass for a whoopin out in public when I was little.
Is it illegal to do even that, or is it just more lasting, damaging type of hitting? I'm curious where the line is drawn between discipline and abuse in terms of the law over there.

Unfortunately Leckie, it's people who thought like this that have taken the low road and cause some many irrecoverable issues in society today.
"Time out" is ONLY an effective punishment on a small number of children. Like it not, lack of discipline, lack of fear of punishment for actions, coddles the lack of respect for authority ideals that are so present in kids today. Children, or for the most part youth in general, have no fear of punishment for thier actions. Because people have since decided, spanking your children or giving them a good pop when they are back talking, or any number of normal physical punishments that a great deal of us feared and respected growing up, are now illegal.
I would have you on a razors edge the whole time if you were around me and my girls then. Because public opinion or not, my girls WILL respect my authority, or they will be punished. I praise them as often as I punish, and they get as much love as anyone. But I will not give into false assumptions that "time out" is a good punishment for them. It's a joke in thier case.
Parents have become socially handicapped in recent years, and some have just become lazy period. I firmly believe that.
Perfect example of Fae's point, here. I have two nephews. One is now 11, the other is now 9. When they were little, I could put the 11 year old in a chair in the kitchen with his hands in his lap as a Time Out. Or the corner. And he hated it, and it would make him behave.
I would try to do the same with the 9 year old. He would get out of the chair no matter what I said, or how many times I put him back. He would turn around in the corner and make faces, or just not turn around when I told him to.
If I gave the 9 year old a pop on the butt first, however, he listened. I didn't abuse him. I didn't hit him anywhere but his bottom. I simply got my point across that he was going to listen, because I was in charge, and discipline would happen if he didn't.
So Time Out, as Fae said, doesn't always work. Some kids will only respond to a whoopin.

Acting disgustingly sweet, nice and helpful to family is a good way to keep them at bay.
School is easy if you have change for the soda machine at all times.
Headbutt the 7ft tall seniors in the groin.
What is physical science, anyways? A fancy-schmancy title for Health?
Of course, I'm of the beleif that you shouldn't use physical ouchies as punishment for anything that isn't physical in nature to begin with. Beat up your sister? Maybe then. Eat all the cookies? No cookies for two months (which is a LONG time for a kid). Punishment should fit the crime. Helps teach kids what the consequences will be.

Nicole had this to say about Matthew Broderick:
Eh. I wouldn't hit my kid, but I'd let it know what what it was going was BAD BAD BAD. Time out dosen't work. Kids can find ways to amuse themselves like that. Plus there's no real way to enforce it. They just wriggle free.Of course, I'm of the beleif that you shouldn't use physical ouchies as punishment for anything that isn't physical in nature to begin with. Beat up your sister? Maybe then.

When and if you have kids, and for that time they are between the ages of 2 and 6 AT LEAST. Sometimes older. You're view on this will change VERY quickly... Otherwise, I'll tape your visit on the Jerry Springer show. 
They just tied them up for an hour or so. Works wonders.
im nervous around new people, i have this deep irashinable (sp?) feeling that people i dont know dont like me, even if i know its not true, i still feel it.

doesn't work.
coke prices are up to $1.25 this year.
no.
physics/chemistry/etc. we just finished the first two chapters - mass and density and a pretty basic review of the metric system. YAY.
Bah. Not even planning on having kids anyway, why am I participating in this discussion?

maybe it's because i've got that wretched teenager disease.
Mom smacked me around when I was a kid and it did NOTHINK. I learned one thing: a tolerance for pain . Real hard-headed kids will just shrug off any punishment you give 'em...

- Anyone who says "..."

- Swift-moving zombies (the slow ones you can just push the hell over)
People who don't scare me are people who say "..." simply because they know people who say "..." scare me. You gotta mean it.
