Child Care
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Excellent write, my friend. It\'s been so long since my kids were in day care, but I remember not loving it. I am not sure about background checks, here in PA (not sure about other states) they\'re required, both Federal and State checks. All the same, a lot of the other issues you raise were still issues. Well done, Dave. An important piece and a fave. 🌹👏

Child Care
sorenbarrett said:
Indeed Dave worked in a day care once and of all the jobs I have ever had it was the most demanding. Would rather work in a mine, construction, or a prison than a day care. As a parent and grand parent keeping an eye on three or four is more than can be expected of any normal person but keeping an eye on ten to twenty is a job that even the gods have given up on. A most pertinent read Dave and a definite issue with most families having two working parents or worse yet single parent families.

We had been stung by this and on the second day had our child pulled out. That was almost 16 years ago now. Never looked back. After that the offending childcare place had changed hands more fingers than you would care shake your hands at. 🕊️🙏🏻

DD, It\'s all just a big lottery. There\'s good and bad among all walks of life. Success is all just a pinball among the flippers. The cards are stacked in favor of the wealthy, but everyone still has a chance, be it ever so slim. It\'s best just to enjoy being alive and not sweat over the course of fate. Keep on smiling.

Lost the butterflies, have we? No matter, simply put the kettle on and go take a long walk in the countryside. Beautifully rendered in brevity with a lightly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A short history of modern America and spot on, I may add. The language you use, standing up to their words, especially so the vile sycophants and their pathetic narratives. It\'s frightening actually and your excellent poem expresses this perfectly. Much applauds for this one and deservingly so.
All the best,

Young people have much to be upset about. It is almost impossible for many to buy a home these days and rented accommodation is in very short supply and very expensive. Why? Politicians again. Supply and demand. If you don’t build houses and you have mass uncontrolled immigration, guess what? It affects house prices and availability of homes. Kids are staying at home longer. I have three twenty plus year olds at home still. Build homes, at affordable prices social and private. Will they? Don’t be daft, we are going back to the 1950’s. Leave your home to your kids, inheritance tax will mean they have to sell it, they won’t be able to afford living in it. Great, ain’t it. Just thought I would chip in my penny worth Dave. We have a massive shortage of housing. Everyone deserves a roof over their head.

Pluck 45. Pluck 47. 86 is his number (we can 86 him, right...at this point, can he be 86\'d 🤷♂️ And yes, the number is a play on Neville\'s excellent counting skills. Oh...This is American me realizing that may not be a phrase everywhere...here in the USA it means to fire someone. 🤣). Sorry I came late to this, was a rough week this past week!

Okay?!

A good write, Dave.
To all my friends: when you view America, don’t just look at individuals. Look at the whole of us. We divide ourselves into two groups: quality folks who matter and those who don’t. We are a narcissistic people with a bipolar disorder. We’re experiencing a psychotic break. Look at the symptoms: wild flights of ideas, manic responses to unwanted questions, feelings that everyone is plotting against you, threats of violence, visions of grandeur.
You’ll need to figure out how to do it on your own.

There is a lot of hard and sad truths in this write, and it\'s worrying times for the world as we currently know it. The biggest warning signs to me are his refusal to condemn the aggressors as that is what he is and wants to be, example does the world think he would of treated Putin like that and got away with it, well written and thought provoking write
