Do not withhold discipline from a child;

Yikes, Boat.
Lots of abuse has been covered by that one...
Oy, dear.

TT, I'm off my spiritual feed these days
but you go, scholar....

Binging on my free trial of Netflix  (how I occupied myself during my Christmas alone)

The Well Digger's Daughter - liked it a lot
Snow Piercer -- sort of liked it but dark and screwed up
Lawless - too violent but still somewhat enjoyable
Skyfall -- the James Bond movie -- loved it  
Mansfield Park - liked it
Great Expectations - liked it
Gordan Ramsays best restaurant completion reality TV stuff - enjoyed it
Christmas Kiss - cheesy but easy mind numbing movie
Someone Marry Barry -  eh kind of a silly brainless one... funny sort of.. kinda dumb
Guilt Trip -- Good
Cuban Fury - good

[Meh]

betrayal   it's a big part of the voicelessness experiences      children could never really say that their parents or whomever were betraying them but it is exactly what it is / was

[Hopalong]

Boat, thank you for that list!

I am a movie binge-er too sometimes and like great novels they can be such a comfort!

I am currently having a regular "bedtime story" of an old BBC series, New Tricks...
went through a spate of lots of very dark series (GracePoint, the US version of Broadchurch) and at the time, they were what I needed.

I'm lightening up a little, and the old BBC detectives really cheer me.

Hi Hops, They are all movies from netflix

Also watched a documentary about Buck Brannaman, I guess he was the basis of the movie "The Horse Whisperer"... which I never saw, I think it is a book too?

Well evidently Buck and his brother were abused as children and put into an adoptive home... actually a pretty good docu. and relevant to this board too.

I watched "The Croods" this evening   it's a kids thing and it was really good

Any females with hair loss ??   like thinning hair   did you find any products that work to make it grow back in?

Wanted to share this blog here:

Boat, I went through a cycle of a lot of hair loss, noticeable thinning. It started about six months after the worst shocks with my daughter, and when our relationship ruptured. I read up on it and huh, they said hair does go in cycles....and one of the signs of a major loss or trauma usually shows up about six months later in hair loss. FWIW... Good nutrition is really important, and rest. I'd focus on diet rather than products as there's no single ingredient solution. Just focus on the most intense nutrition you can feed yourself.

Hey Boat,
I forgot to add that in about another six months, my hair was no longer thinning and was thickening up again. Apparently that's the cycle, so if you boost your nutrition quality, you're likely to see that this is going to reverse itself. After all that time worried about it, I'm realizing it's back to normal and I'm enjoying my hair again. It's not as thick as when I was very young, but it's fine. Still wear it long.

And forgot to tell you that I also saw the documentary "Buck" and thought it was one of the most mesmerizing and moving documentaries I'd ever seen, for all the reasons you mention. Not to mention that his work with the horses was ALL about the enormous empathy he'd developed after his own childhood suffering. It was extraordinary and visually gorgeous too. I watched it more than once and am ready to do it again. Thanks for the reminder.

Watched "The Interview" this evening. Really liked it, was silly sort of like Wayne's World or Pulp Fiction.   A co-worker of mine saw it and she said it was "really offensive" so i was anticipating that I wouldn't like it BUT I did like it and think it was a nice distraction for the night.

Amazon.com is having a 30% off sale on their jewelry for valentines day. I am pointlessly surfing the site for a t-shirt necklace. You know like a simple casual thing that can be worn with jeans, the every day thing. I figure since I haven't bought myself real jewelry since like 2006 or something maybe I should idk.

Probably I should be on task but I am tired of being always doing something. Cant I just be an average American vegetable now and then...

the trends which are not new trends >  wishbones, hearts, bars, horseshoes, circles, leaf design. Triangles, penguins, stars. Owls

Bleh and I might be depressed, it is like the equivalent of watching hours on end of those QVC shopping TV advertisements. But of course not buying any of it.

Thought I would look at the Tiffany stuff. Dang it is expensive. Like 900.00 for a plain little hammered gold pendant necklace.

[Hopalong]

Huh.
If anyone on here could learn to MAKE beautiful jewelry, you could, Boat...

(I keep finding cool things at Goodwill. But as to decorative stuff? Freebies, DIYs do it for me...)
