first thought

Wow you two seem to have hit it off! Good for you.
Here is the first thought:
"I am an alcoholic. THere I said it."
I know why I started drinking, other than social. My question is, "Why can't I stop?"

 

[mightynine]

BTW Minnie, nice pic!

LOL

Sory about the posts to excess

Drinking is a choice you choose to drink rather than to deal with other issues. Just like I smoke rather than to decide not to and go through withdraw pains. No disease is purchased by the consumer.


I thought you wanted sick like grey matter stimulation stuff

 

[mightynine]

Tyler,
I am not saying I bought the problem. It was done by my own free will. I am not the type of guy to sue McDonalds if I became fat or sue Anheuser Busch if I oversleep.
I started drinking to help me sleep after a bad break up. I am long past that and in a new relationship.
I want to be a non-drinker, I want to feel better in the mornings, I know this is harful to my health.
I still can't seem to keep myself from going to the store and buying more beer.
What is causing this?

 

[mightynine]

I got my first job at 14yrs old. Ihave worked my ass off at every job I have had after that. Is it my perception, or is the next generation just not motovated/ self-diciplined enough to act in the same manner? Is there no want to acheive anymore?

 

[Native Alien]

First of all there are two things wrong with your thinking on the drinking. You say that you are in a new relationship. If that relationship is not stimulating your grey matter, then I suggest that you get out of it.

Second, don't go to the store and buy beer, but first, you need to tell someone that you really trust that you are an alcoholic and you need help. If you want more than this from me, then pm and I will be glad to help in any way that I can. I have been down both these roads and no good will come of either of them for you my friend.

 

[Native Alien]

Mightynine, you have a pm back at you.

 

[mightynine]

Good night readers! I will have a new thought in the morning.
How do you put a pic so it appears next to your posts?

 

[Native Alien]

That is an avatar or av for short. You get to post one when you get a 100 posts.

 

[mightynine]

I think I will hold off on my next thought. I am still wanting input on the work ethic question.

 

[Native Alien]

Could you define the group that you are asking about? I mean give a something to something age definition of the group that you want to know about.

 

[mightynine]

I am thinking between 16-22 yrs old.
As a side bar, I bought every car I ever owned. The first before I even had a licence. My family had more money than most (I am not bragging) and Dad still insisted that we kids pay for everything. I ended up in the military to get money for college. I was not diciplined enough to get a svholorship. I look to see how my friends are raising their kids and it seems without exception, they are all buying their kids a car.

How does one buy a car without a license? I didn't think that was possible - unless you bought a used car from a private party and paid cash? Still, a little on the shady side to me.

People were buying their kids cars back when I was kid. (And let's just say that was before "Punk Rock" made it onto the scene.) What I've noticed nowadays is that kids don't seem to have the ambition to want to learn how to drive, period. At least where I live. When I was 15 1/2, you were begging your parents to take you to the DMV to get your permit. Now, kids just don't seem to think it is all that important.

Of course, when I was a kid, if you didn't get your license and then a car, you were stuck with what minimal public transportation we have in So Cal, begging rides off of those friends who did have a license, or relying on mom and dad's schedule. (Which was less than reliable than public transportation.) I've noticed many of my friends/co-workers who are my age, will go out of their way, take time off from work, or jump through hoops because Johnny or Susy just have to get somewhere and, well, they don't have any other way to get there.

I think it boils down to parents wanting to make things better for their kids than they had it. It doesn't always make sense, but it's how the world turns for many people.

 

[Native Alien]

I watch the people around me raise their children and I think of the differences between when I was that age and now.

Believe me, I had a lot of responsibility by the time I was 13 and it did make a difference. I bought and paid for my own car. I can tell this one without worry. My big money making years were when I worked as a jockey, riding thorobreds. I rode between the ages of 13 and 15, before I outgrew my job and changed to an exercise person and apprentice trainer.

I think that I agree with Sexy Chele on this one.

 

[mightynine]

Exactly what I have been seeing guys. I understand a desire to make things better for your children. Is quality of life measured in giving rides or is it better to TEACH your children the responsibilty of saving money, making a good choice in your shopping? To teach them to save up to buy, then to save up for unforseen repairs?
Or is it just better to give them a ride, or buy them a brand new one?
Just a thought

oh, my first car was a Ford Escort I bought off the Mail Man. And Yes, I did pay cash

 

[SexyChele]

Well, I don't know about where most people live and such, but my city is considered to be predominately upper middle class. (I wish I could say I was in that category, but, alas, I am not!) When the high school is in session and I happen to drive by, the teacher's lot is filled mostly with older Toyotas, Nissans, Fords, etc. There might be a late model 4 Runner stuck in there, or a newer Altima, but not many.

On the other hand, when I drive by the student's parking lot, I only see newer SUVs (I'm talking Expeditions, Tahoes, 4 Runners here - mid-size to small) along with an occasional BMW. a few Beetles, and several convertibles. Now, I remember when I bought my first car. It was a Chevy Luv truck and stripped to the bare bones. I was working McDonald's for the payments, gas, and insurance, and that was about where all my money went.

There is no way any of these kids around here can afford a brand new Expedition - and since we are a "bedroom community", these kid's parents have to commute long distances to work. Meaning, they simply can't leave an extra car home for the kid to use. Besides, there ain't no teenagers working in the old McDonald's I used to work at! Well, yeah there are - but they sure as heck ain't the white kids that make up the neighborhood!

What I'm boiling down to here is that these parents, in an effort to make life so easy for Johnny or Suzy, are doing these kids a disservice. What happens when Johnny and Suzy graduate high school and then college? Maybe even mom and pop might might the down payment on their first house or condo. But eventually mom and pop won't be able to keep bailing them out. And not all these kids are gonna be CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. I think a lot of these kids are gonna fall - and fall HARD. I really pity that.

When you look at the ones who truly "made it" in life, most had ambition and drive and were given almost nothing. It was that desire to see a vision or an opportunity and grab it and make something of it that provided a way for most to suceed. If all you ever have is some one handing you something, you will constantly be seeking out the gravytrain.

Not sure about anywhere else, but I know that where I live, there are more and more people of color becoming more and more prosperous. I hear grumblings from the white community about how "those people" are "taking over." Yet, it's "those people's" kids who are working McDonald's and striving for scholarships and looking for those opportunities to grab hold of.

Sorry to ramble - really, I don't mean to! - but I think it's going to take a revolution in child rearing to make some parents rethink their attitudes. I feel for all involved if/when Johnny and Suzy end up not being able to survive in the real world because they never learned hardship or hard work.

*Okay, I'm off my soapbox now. Sorry, all!*

 

[mightynine]

SexyChele,
Well said, well researched! I see the same trends. Wish I could have pened it so well.
What will happen if these kids never leave the nest? Are they being raised to be dependant of their parents? The older generation raised their kids to take care of their parents.

Why am I obsessed with body hair on females?
Notice I did NOT say pubic hair, I said body hair. Arms, face, everywhere?
Does this sound like a fetish or a problem?

All depends on what your thinking on the hair is? Is it a problem for you, or do you want the woman that you are with to have body hair?
