Yes. I read about that and grounded him for it. :D

Wait a few years when Luke's son comes to you and says,"Uncle Joel, what can you tell me about my dad that I can potentially use against him?". :D (On a side note, I think it is OK for your kids to call your buddies, "Uncle" and I think it is OK for your buddies' kids to call you "Uncle" as well.)

>Luke did a separate post about his dad paddling him,
>and he got it from the school principal too.

Yes. I read it and I hope he's OK; but he is still grounded. :D

Unfortunately, that's not going to happen. She was transferred to a skilled nursing facility for physical therapy today.

That is great

Indeed. This is my parents' first great-grandchild. We'll have my niece and her husband bring the baby to the facility where my mom is so she can see him. I just wish my dad and my brother were still here. My brother committed suicide in 2006 and little Jaxon is his grandson.
>
On a sidenote, as I was telling Luke earlier, I have worked through this and I think when a person commits suicide, they have done the most selfish act a person can do. The warning signs were there and we all missed them. >
I am also going to repeat my admonition to you that I made in my response to Luke. Suicide is NOT the answer to ANY problem. If you are having any kind of problem, TALK TO YOUR PARENTS! If a buddy of yours tells you that he is contemplating suicide, TELL SOMEONE! Your principal, coach, or guidance counselor should be able to help.

Glad I could be of some help.

Yep.

I don't know. Try googling it and see what happens.

That kid deserves to have his butt tanned until it is beet red. Spencer posted that in addition, he should take out an ad in his hometown newspaper apologizing to his family for the embarassment he caused. (On a side note, do you think the cop was justified in tasering him?)

>How old was that kid, and anymore in news about him

He was 17; same age as you. And, no, haven't heard a word.
