GoldCircle:
All I know is that I can see a glass with water in it. The rest actually depends on my expectations. If on a given day, I expect someone to bring me an empty glass, so I could go & get some water by all by myself, and then the person comes to me with not only a glass but some water in it. Then I'll say the glass is half full and the implication is that the person has done me some favor by putting water into the glass. If on the other hand I actually go ahead to pay someone to get me a glass of water on a very hot afternoon and the person returns to me after some time to give me a glass that is half empty, of course I wouldn't be pleased with such a person cos what I expected was a glass full of water! Nothing more, nothing less!

So like I said, it depends on the expectations! Half bread they say, is better than none!. . . and then if the bread is bad;what do you do??
Glad you see the glass half empty and half full.  The thing is, when some folks see the glass half empty, they want you to accept the glass empty even though you see it as half full.  ***sigh*** Whatever happened to "a difference of opinions?"  And the tenth commandment is grin grin

Growing up I didn't get a "good-whipping", I got spanked on my bottom (light physical discipline) and I plan to do the same thing with my children because I think it's an effective way of raising your children upright. Sometimes pain stops you from not repeating an action.   However, I think one should spank their child (ren) immediately they do something wrong.  Not wait until the father visit – spanking you for something you did months ago.

Personally, good-whipping (beating the crap out of your kids with a belt, switch, stick or coconut broom) is a no-no.  You are correct, good-whipping" is bad practice (slavery mentality) and I think that's why there is a law (USA) to prevent parents from beating the crap out of their kids.  I don't think the law will prevent a parent from "spanking" their kids (light physical discipline) on the bottom.

Unfortunately, we don't have that law back home to prevent "good-whipping."  Based on my conversation with some older folks - some say they are who they are now (good job/degree/own house) because of good-whipping while others still traumatized from a "good-whipping" (causing them to beat their wives, kids etc).  I guess to each his own. undecided

Poems For ReviewThe Phone Call by Epi(op): 3:39pm On Feb 06, 2009
lovefatedestiny.com

A girl quickly punches a number into her phone and waits until she hears the other line pick up.

“Becky, I don’t know what to do, I really don’t. I love him so much and I don’t think he thinks of me that way. I mean, whenever I see him or think of him, I can’t help it, this smile comes across my face. Sometimes he sees me smiling and smiles back. That’s when my knees turn to jello and I get butterflies in my stomach. I know you think that he’s is so totally adorable and cute, but if you look past that and actually listen to what he has to say, you find a totally different person. He’s so caring and considerate and he makes me feel like I don’t deserve him. Well, actually, I don’t deserve him. He’s too perfect, I mean, look at all the girls that fall over for him. I could never be one of those. Their all so pretty and bubbly and…,  not me. I couldn’t even start to compare myself to them. But whenever I think of him or see him, I can’t help it, I smile. Now I didn’t tell you this but he called me the other day about homework. I tell you now, I made a complete fool of myself. I’m so embarrassed. I stuttered the whole time, but he was so sweet and just kept talking and making me feel better. He’s so perfect Becky, I don’t deserve him, so why do I keep wishing and praying that he will notice me, why?, Becky? Becky are you there?”

“This isn’t Becky.”

Petrified the girl asks, “Then who is this?”

“ This is the guy who’s smile turns your knees to jello and I just wanted to say one thing. Everything you just said now, I’ve been wanting to say since the day I met you.”
