I guess I feel like an education, and what kind of person you are matters more than hair.

Well, my brother manages a team for a mega bank in charge of billions in Fed fund futures globally. He has short hair now. I toy around on a big activity board for entertainment’s sake, but they pay me well for it.

I put Andrew up against any kid his age.

It does!! We had a local mom call the police recently to report an older couple sitting on the bench yelling at children. The recording was played back and she was truly just being a (insert your own adjective)! Towards the end she realizes and says wait... do they.... oh they have kids here.
Was grandparents taking their grandchildren to the playground and thats who they were actually speaking/yelling to.

I know you guys are all successful, and your input matters. I've never been a mom before.

I guess it's on my mind because a good friend said some things about boys and long hair that really bothered me. She indicated I'm a bad mom because I allow it.

I really hope you indicated she should go pound sand.

In my experience, education, in general, has very little to do with it either. Two of the smartest people I have ever known had little education. One had to quit school, to work on the family farm, in 7th grade. The other didn't make it through high school because of, by today's standards, a mental disability. Not only were/are they ultra-smart, they're maybe the kindest guys I have known. Additionally, I have known some very highly educated people who have proven to be really selfish, self-serving **********.

Neither have most of us! ;Hilarious

Me neither but I was lucky enough to have had a great one and know one when I see one!

Y'all just made me laugh. Yes, I stood my ground. I may have even lost a friend.

Having been a single parent to two boys, I can tell you the hair doesn't matter as to what kind of person they will be. Both of mine had long hair at one point or another and I truly believe that, despite my terrible efforts, they turned out to be great young men.

I can, however, tell you it definitely matters when getting a job. Both of them couldn't get a job until they cut their hair. It may be small town but that's how it is around here. Also, in the business world in which I have been involved, it's frowned upon to have long hair, dyed hair, piercings, etc. Oddly enough though, tattoos are fine as long as they aren't on your face or neck. Go figure.

Women are not always nice to each other. Glad you stood up for yourself. Not surprised

I humbly submit that no one needs a friend of her substance.

Hey y'all, long time no see... busy first part of the week. Everything is so, different here.

It's the same here too.

 

[Katrina71]

Tattoos. Lol. I've seen several that are gonna look bad when gravity takes it's toll.

 

[Katrina71]

Ok, back to reefing. On a positive note, getting another toadstool. I might diy a little cage for the next one until he settles in.

 

[Katrina71]

There are some things going on behind the scenes for the new tank...one thing is the screen top from Octo!

 

[Katrina71]

My boss has been letting me have vacation time on my check to make things easier. She also said I can always pick up hours for tank stuff after I get my new job.

 

[NY_Caveman]

That is very nice. Extra work is probably good for both you and her.

World was built before education. If you don’t have it school won’t give it to you.
