And by looking at the ng this morning I'm hearing good ol bugs in my head right at this moment with....

Cheers and good wishes Hi David. Butting in here just to say I'm glad to see you're from Oz. I'm no longer a single mum thanks to a compatriot of yours. He made the move over the great big pond to hang with us here in the U.S. Oz is a lot more civilized to its single parents than the U.S. is. lm Civilized????? the correct word would be socialist. Australia is capitalist, but their social services are not yet so draconian as ours. They're on their way though. They do have medical coverage for all, but that's on its way out too. Hopefully it's on its way in, here.

Medical coverage for all? how much more down the socialist path do you wnat to go? Besides the fact that fed guvmint has absolutely no constitutional authority to provide health coverage (let alone the social security BS) guvmint run health care would absolutely destroy the health care system in this country. People are not static, they change when new rules/roadblocks are put in place.......guvmint health care is just like raising the minimum wage or campaign finance reform, it looks great on paper, but the unintended and unforseen consequences are far worse. Really Paul? Funny how so many Americans look at the Canadian health care system and think that it's great. Socialism? I think not. |

The uniformed ones may. but the informed ones (typically those that don't think guvmint is there to solve all their problems) think it is horrible. It is socialism socialism - "Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy." Canadian health care is a socialist system whether you like it or not BTW, I have yet to meet a canadian doctor (and I have met plenty) that would not love to practice in the U.S. and not be subject to the guvmint controls they work under. |

'Kate wrote in message ... On Tue, 04 May 2004 15:52:28 +1000, quietguy Ahh Kate - I was married at 21, three kids by the time I was 23, and I just had my 60th birthday. So your alarm is right on, I fudged a little there as it has been only 39 years - my apologies - I am much better at Social Work than maths :-) David PS I was a late starter and undertook my Social Work training from 1978-81 ROFL... ooookay. I was spot on at guesstimating your age.. not that it matters. Actually, it does. Why *are* you hanging out in this group? Slumming? Can't resist the plight of the single mom? Have one of us in your own family? Come to see what it's all about? We have a wonderful group of abnormally successful single parents here. Using them as the mean for the single parent group would not give a true picture. 'Kate If he is still 'parenting' as opposed to being a parent when the kids are now middle aged adults, then he has done a **** poor job |

On Tue, 4 May 2004 00:51:10 -0400, "Paul Fritz" snip Definitely.............I wonder if his (very) lame smarmy snarky put downs worked in his 'social work' It obviously allowed him to feel superior to all those know nothings that couldn't compare to him......Bet he really gets his rocks off calling people 'silly sausages' He's played so many 'cards' trying to cover his tracks........soooooooooooo transparent. LOL I had a teacher last year who was brilliant. He continues his family practice whilst teaching. I took him for abnormal psych. He showed movies of therapy sessions with families. It never hit me until that point that dysfunctional families are not all that different from functional families. The only difference is in degree. Any family can get "out of wack". There are reasons why teens choose to act out and it's usually a call for help. It's not so hard to imagine that little things become big things over time... and it can happen in any family. It's not a matter of pounding one person in the family back in line.. that one person is poking up because the others are squeezing him/her. It's not a shameful thing.. it's something that happens. Hmm... I've picked up a habit of talking in metaphors. And generalities, which in this case tend to be meaningless. :-) 'Kate |

Summer school......now there were fond memories......NOT Well... hang tight 'cause my kids are volunteering for it. I was talking college :-) Mike has one summer class (P.E.) so that he can be a senior next year and walk with the class of '05. Lisa is entering HS and wants to take sports medicine during the summer so that she can help wrap HS football player's ankles in the fall. Yeah.. I see the motivation there. I have to cough up the $240. My little brother did that to (well he had to hanf around becaus eI was at practice anyway.....almost got a college scholarship to do it at that level. 'Kate |
