Agree, there are lots of ways to discipline children without violence. I just thank goodness that my sons on the whole are quite good natured. Recently when I told my elder son I was fed up with him being moody that day for no apparent reason, he said 'Well it is not my fault, it is my hormones' Now where have I heard that before. I had to laugh, so did he!

Mib, Ruth, re pson, I am puzzled too. I went short at 836 early morning, and after a short fall, it suddenly rose v quickly. Still short hoping for a return to sanity

Looking at sharescope (thanks Ruth!) TAD seem to have turned the corner about November, I lost a bit with them a couple of years ago, they have done well to survive. Tempted to buy a few.

My son started and has now stopped. I hope I have got through to him as he is nearly 17 and we have a good rapport and can discuss anything, which is great. I am really anti smoking as it exposes them more readily to drugs, but at this stage I would rather know what he is up to so it is a thin line between getting through to them and alienating them. I now have an agreement with my younger son that if he does not smoke or do drugs by a certain age he gets a financial inducement, that is still being negotiated! Yes bribery, but if it works. Actually, maybe I should add a clause that if he does smoke, he will have to eat one. That should do it!

yeah I've kicked myself for not having at least a little dabble when Bullshare informed us that he had bought at 18p stating he thought Tad would grow to be a frog. what a missed oportunity and Well Done bully

[spaceman] 13/3/2002 09:23

LLUCKY, trouble is it would probably end up with them in hospital, personally I think that anyone who did that should be prosecuted, taking the cruel to be kind thing a bit further we could extend the analogy eg. to stop them getting violent, they could punch them a few times, when looked at like that it obviously wrong. PS I don't have any children.

Its just like a bank holiday today - surely not everyone is at cheltenham - i wish.

[vicism] 13/3/2002 09:22

lol ruth. I stopped smoking when the ash dropped on my chest while smoking in bed. I thought to myself, this thing burns me inside, burns my pocket and now its burnt my body and my bed!

[hobleg] 13/3/2002 09:20

Well done all those that have given up

just remember if you can do one day without smoking ...you can do everyday.

I ate 2 full size fruit cakes in my first day without !

Morning all

Short the Dow from last night at 10641. Think its the top, but WTFDIK? :-)

I gave up smoking 3 weeks, 5 days, 9 hours and 18 minutes ago (I've got a little .exe program on my pc that tells me so!) So far I have not smoked 474 cigarettes, saved £102.12, and extended my life by 1 day, 15 hours and 35 minutes...

[lom] 13/3/2002 09:16

I really am suprised at the lack of comment about TAD's ascent on this thread
