Another big reason We feel strongly about smartphones and internet is, The internet is one huge personal information vacuum. We just feel it's better that they decide when they are adults and not children, to put themselves out there if they choose to and how much of themselves.. Something like that, we just feel should be left up to them when they are old enough to make that decision.. They get their time on the internet, they have their music and so on.. We just don't let them register on sites and things like that.. If they are on a phone, it's one of ours.. I look at all the clutter and sites I've built up over time and just think how much would they have by the time they were 18.. Then I cringe.. hehehe

It may sound like a similar approach but I doubt it's the same.. As i mentioned before, Each family is different as is each child. It may sound like we're sheltering them, but that's not the case.. I just grazed the subject like I am now.. Between us and the rest of my family, there is a wealth of experience for them to gain first. I wasn't sheltered, my husband sure wasn't sheltered and neither of us had smartphones. We both have had a very good taste of the bad this world offers. When everyone is home in our house, it's home time..It's not all their friends on their friends list and the rest of the world or the internet distracting from that..There is not a reason in the world that they need all that exposure 24/7 to get ready for the real world out there.. The problem with smartphones is people think they need them.. We didn't even need to have phones on us for the longest time, now we're bad parents for our kids not having a phone? You don't need a smart phone to be prepared for the world. Good parents is a real plus though. I have an amazing father that stepped up and took both roles and I'm grateful for that..the other, I couldn't care less one way or the other about her living or dying. Believe me i know the damage sheltering can cause.. I see it in a lot of kids and adults..That's not happening here..

I swore on my life with my first beautiful baby boy, that the bad in this world is gonna have to try and make it through mommy before it could ever get to him.. You can bet my husband is in that same mind set.. Smartphones are just one of the things that we agree is a threat to our boys.. From the world I see around me, with how they have overwhelmed peoples lives and distracted them from being in the present,losing jobs because they can't stay off them.. I feel very confident we made the right choice.. We've done it with tv and computers and pretty much anything that we feel will do harm more than good.. A little bit of something is fine.. But those kinds of things will never be the baby sitter.. We have Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles and cousins that are more than willing to do that if it's ever needed.. They have plenty to learn from them.. Families are different as well as each child is different.. There is no one set plan for all.. Stats, professionals and all that, before I even consider them, I'd ask them first thing, do they have children? Then probably a bunch of other questions too, because I'm not easy like that!!\o/ hehehehe This post was a heck of a lot longer than it is now, but all that typing was just to type it out for my sake and then scrap.. hehehe

You may want to look into this.. I know we will be giving this a look or something similar when our boys get into their teens.. If we get them any phone at all it will be more a phone than anything.. This is the first version where they are already with version 2 now. This is with version 2

Life is so much better when a lot of that clutter was turned off.. The most reliable news today is the weather, and they're still working on getting that right, although they are getting better with radar nowadays.. We mostly pay attention to local news..some of that other stuff will get dribbled in there , but for the most part what's going on around us.. If something grabs my interest I'll usually look up unedited and as non bias information the best I can..Soon as I start hearing what sounds like sides manipulating things, I just keep looking else where until I find things that don't sound manipulating... hehehe

Mine are doing more than fine and healthy as it gets doing it our way.

For us it's always been best for us to show them why or explain to where they can understand why something isn't good for them or dangerous..It works much better than just saying quit! now git outta mah hair! hehehe We can only raise them the best we can with the mind that, when it comes time where they go out into the world on their own.. That we have them as ready for the world as we can. That is gonna be very hard when the first one let alone any of them, reach that day when they move out.. Even if they just move down the road. As a mother, I have so many cringe moments just looking into the future that keeps me on my toes about my boys.. I even have guilt when someone say's things like,a mother gives life.. Because I also gave death, because it comes for us all and that really weighs on me when I think of that happening to my boys one day.. I'm gonna stop now.. I'm already getting worked up about it again.. But i agree with everything you've said wholeheartedly.

My boys don't have phones.. That picture on the left pretty much sums up where I can find them most times in the summer when it's hot out or warm or even cold.. hehehehe I always wondered, what would it be like having a girl.. Then found this.. hehehe The part where they are having wine at the table ,I about fell out of my chair, because it's so true.

I'm sure that would slow the cartels down.. hehehe

The biggest problem I have with the gaps in border crossing has pretty much everything to do with human trafficking/ slavery. It's the number one reason I am for all people being vetted at the border.. I could give a rats ass how either political party thinks it's good or bad for the economy.. How about how good or bad it is for slavery. It turns my stomach to think about children and women being forced into the sex industry.. I'm sure those are jobs that most americans don't want.. Then there is those being forced into labor and so on.. They are nothing more than slaves! Slavery is not gone, It's alive and doing well. It's just been hidden a little better than it used to be. All the political bla bla bla bla bullcrap aside. Just imagine what kind of life it must be to be stolen, then exported to a strange place,let alone all the things done to you on the travel there just to get your mind focused, that you don't belong to you anymore. But to be nothing more than someones slave to do with as they please.. It just rots my stomach thinking about it. https://www.cbp.gov/border-security/human-trafficking Human Trafficking In 2000, Congress signed the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act into law, representing the beginning of a large-scale, coordinated effort by the United States government to fight human trafficking. Twenty years later, human trafficking still remains prevalent. According to recent figures available (Source: Global Estimates of Modern Slavery: Forced Labour and Forced Marriage , Geneva, September 2017): At any given time in 2016, an estimated 40.3 million people are in modern slavery, including 24.9 million in forced labor and 15.4 million in forced marriage. It means there are 5.4 victims of modern slavery for every 1,000 people in the world. 1 in 4 victims of modern slavery are children. Out of the 24.9 million people trapped in forced labor, 16 million people are exploited in the private sector such as domestic work, construction or agriculture; 4.8 million persons in forced sexual exploitation, and 4 million persons in forced labor imposed by state authorities. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by forced labor, accounting for 99% of victims in the commercial sex industry, and 58% in other sectors

I would say that is more escort clothing than stripper clothing.. Strippers can wear anything on stage from, office wear to doctors clothing, cowgirl or any theme they want.. I once went up on stage as Storm one time.. hehehe I had someone do a custom outfit for me plus, I had a storm system made with clouds and rain and lightning striking, that I wore. I only wore it one time though.. It was pretty laggy hehehehe

Is there a specific being of skin you are looking for? You would be hard pressed to find the best of all skins of all beings.

I know a little bit about most things, but don't know a lot about almost everything.. I'm ok at faking it......Sometimes.. I used to know a lot more than I do now though, So I have that going....For ....me? 0o

A lot of that kind of stuff will probably be based from the moon as their start point in the future. They are actually close to a warp bubble now.. This is really neat.

I know,I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.. But it was nice to be able to just look through all those threads casually as I would have my tea.. Kind of like, Take a sip then, Oh lets see what's new in this one.. hehehehe

The only thing that confuses me is, there are such good pictures in the other picture threads and this one gets moved.. Maybe because it's more specific theme lined than the others?

Plus you can't decrease land impact of something when that happens.. Heck, they could lay out displays of their designs and say, here are the pieces for this design.. I would think they would sell more doing it that way.

I was just looking around youtube and found this really good clip that the song just builds it to kind of an intense moment of, sit or make a choice..it's a great song and a good clip..

It must only be ok to piss off the full perm people, when it's the higher price.. honestly, he shouldn't give a damn what you decided to do with a product after you bought it.. I design this for mountains scenes and you went and put it on a beach scene.!!! WTF!!! That's not what I want you do dew wiff mah producks hehehe

It was only made earlier today, so you actually got here really quick.. It's kind of fun hunting for things like that..It gets me out of my patterns and I end up finding all kinds of goodies along the way. hehehe Thank you again, I really appreciate it.

I just have to say, That style looks amazing.. Well done Also, thank you for coming to the thread and posting the information.

I copied a lot of bangs from hair styles I had bought already over the years.. Make sure you go through all your hairs first before you go spending on bangs and things. heck ,I'm gonna copy ever accessory For hair and put them in my bangs folder too.. hehehe

We probably have most of the things for many styles.. I know I'm gonna really look for unrigged stuff more than I have been, that's for sure..

The bangs are in 3 parts. The stealthic bangs they sell next to the women's hairs, you can get the front bang piece. Then the other two bang side pieces come with the stealthic Lethal hair. altogether it's a 5 piece hair style.. 5 attach slots ThatsAlotOf SLOTS BABY!!!!!! hehehe

I know ,Right!!? \o/ hehehe
