I would agree with much of your assessment and add the fact that (in general), guys don’t care as much about their hygiene, so they don’t take the time to clean themselves as well to start with. Also, guys really do think of one thing at a time, so when they have gas, they forget about it and go on with whatever they are doing, not going to clean themselves, if necessary.

I found Alaskans to be VERY independent, somewhat rude in that they seemed very ‘me’ oriented and not really caring what others think of them; their social manners were lacking (in the way that, for example, they didn’t say thank you at check-out or excuse me for various reasons). I took much of this to be that they go to AK for a different kind of life-style and they like to be self-sufficient. I also found out where many of the ‘hippies’ went in the early 1980s! For me, I can’t imagine why someone would want to live so far from the ‘rest of the world’ and be willing to pay for the transportation to leave. The people that live in non-road-accessable tow

Parents (should) offer unconditional love, and a child (even an adult) should feel ‘safe’ calling their parent. Since the parents know your history (bad and good!) and have lived a lot longer, they can see things from the broad perspective of time, experience and intimate knowledge of the ‘child.’

So, one’s surroundings and life story run much the same path, helping to make the couple more alike in the long run.

I think that when people are really old they think slower and it takes longer to comprehend what they are seeing. Also, they don’t see as well, so a quick glance doesn’t cut it anymore! Also, as her hearing went, she stared more to catch what people were saying (kinda like poor lip-reading). The best thing to do is smile a brilliant smile and wave, say hello and make their day!

I have often noticed a sense of entitlement emanating from the Jewish community. I think that part of it is pure (well deserved) pride in their shared heritage. The Jews have had to ‘fight’ (literally and figuratively) for their right to practice their religion for 3000+ years. They tend to (in my view) cherish education, family ties and a good work ethic, all adding up to being prosperous. Between the two (close, proud heritage and prosperity), they seem to ‘know’ they are ‘better’ than other people. Plus, we hear SO much in the news (regarding Israel) that Jews are God’s ‘chosen people’ and that’s a pretty big flag of pride to fly in people’s faces. All of this is written with great regard for the Jewish people.

He needs to prove to them that he’s a good choice for their daughter and grandchild – AND – they need to be open to seeing what he shows. Best of luck … remember, it’s really all about what is best for the child!

It’s time to start separating … my son was always allowed in our bed (after about 10 years old) if he was truly scared from storms or a bad dream or if he was sick. She needs to realize that, unfortunatly, it’s not all about her and her needs, and maturity-wise, it’s time to start letting go.

Hey, what’s in a name? It really doesn’t make or break you.” Unfortunatly, as I posted in reply #2 of this thread, it may make or break you!

Most black’s hair is fairly thick and it doesn’t move very much, whereas white’s hair is usually thin and ‘flowy’ for lack of a different word. Black’s hair stays pretty much in one place, and white’s flop about. Mine constantly falls in my face and, even though I don’t care for how it looks on me, I find myself tucking it behind my ears (most of the time I don’t even know I’ve done it!). Otherwise, I agree with the other writer that it’s a nervous habit on some girls and young women.

So by parents trying to give their children a unique identity, they may also be contributing to holding the kids back when they are adults.
