The only time my older son ever got grounded was when he was much younger and it was for not telling me where he was going with a friend. He was still checking in with me when he started going to college.... the younger one has never been grounded at all.<BR/><BR/>I've raised two boys who have never had a drink, smoked, done drugs, and who will part with friends who do if necessary. They've never gotten a girl pregnant, crashed a car, or been involved in a serious fight. I think we're doing ok.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1167856711181203492007-01-03T11:38:00.000-09:002007-01-03T11:38:00.000-09:00Hi Aunt Joy!

My father was mostly absent until my teen years (long distance trucker). During my teen years he decided to implement strict disciplinary guidelines. As a result, I raged against them and put myself in some very foolish predicaments. I often wonder if parents consider the side effects of discipline that is too harsh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1167791151335889082007-01-02T17:25:00.000-09:002007-01-02T17:25:00.000-09:00As if you couldn't (or didn't) rinse away the Come...As if you couldn't (or didn't) rinse away the Comet residue! I am glad my dad took showers and would never have noticed that anyway. <BR/><BR/>We had a Melmac set in our picnic basket and ours were burgundy, lime and forest green.

I lived for a few months during high school with my best friend down the street and some of our happiest times were when we washed the dishes, by hand of course. With our other friend making 3, we sang every song in our repertoire and pretended we were the Andrews Sisters. We used to buy the song books with all the words. <BR/><BR/>What fun.Chancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888087428059834691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-1167746442023684142007-01-02T05:00:00.000-09:002007-01-02T05:00:00.000-09:00When I read "Melmac" it brought back so many memor...When I read "Melmac" it brought back so many memories. My husband did a whole lot of photographic advertising work for the makers of Melmac and Melamine in the late 50's. At one point they had a big to-do in NY City to show off their new ware and they gave beautiful chess sets to their buyers. The chess pieces were made of Melmac in black and white. We still have the set but have lost a white pawn which I've tried to replace for years!<BR/>Thanks for the memory and for all your great blogs.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.com
