It seems even after reading so many parenting books, I'm still at something of a loss as to the best way to raise my nine children! I'm desperate, and I need your help!
Parenting is really tough! It's so hard to meet the physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs of a child!
Especially when there are so many of them and they all need individual attention. What advice would you give for a struggling dad?
Parenting skills vary, but I'd say that as long as you are doing everything in your power to raise a well adjusted child, you can call yourself a good parent!
True, but how do you define "well-adjusted?" I know you're right about it, but that could mean so many different things potentially.
That's true! You could always try Parent management training. It teaches parents positive reinforcement methods amongst other things! It's very helpful!
Is that like a class you can take somewhere? At a university or are there specific businesses that give you that kind of training? I don't think I could read another book.

Limitations of the existing research on PMT include a lack of knowledge on mechanisms of change and the absence of studies of long-term outcomes. PMT may be more difficult to implement when parents are unable to participate fully due to psychopathology, limited cognitive capacity, high partner conflict, or inability to attend weekly sessions.

Blue
Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Sibling
A sibling is one of two or more individuals having one or both parents in common. A full sibling is a first-degree relative. A male sibling is a brother, and a female sibling is a sister. In most societies throughout the world, siblings often grow up together, thereby facilitating the development of strong emotional bonds. The emotional bond between siblings is often complicated and is influenced by factors such as parental treatment, birth order, personality, and personal experiences outside the family.

The fruit is hard, with a light green skin and crisp, juicy flesh. The flavour is tart and acidic, which possibly limits raw consumption.

Have you ever been in the hospital or the emergency department to treat urgent health problems?
I was hospitalized once - I was living and working somewhere remote and got some kind of virus from something I had eaten that just wiped me out. Ironically, the hospital I was taken to was one where I had worked previously, so it was an emergency visit but also a reunion with old friends! How about you?
I'm glad you're ok! Did you have to go to one of the trauma centres? Hopefully you weren't admitted to the psychiatric hospital!
I had a very atypical hospital experience, I think - I arrived on foot, just walked into the emergency room, and because they were busy I ended up showing myself to a room and beginning my own admission process. Luckily it was a physical stay - I think being admitted for psych would be more scary, since the problems and lengths of stay aren't always as discretely identifiable, and a patient might feel more out of control.

Political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union
There was systematic political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union, based on the interpretation of political opposition or dissent as a psychiatric problem. It was called "psychopathological mechanisms" of dissent.
During the leadership of General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev, psychiatry was used to disable and remove from society political opponents ("dissidents") who openly expressed beliefs that contradicted the official dogma. The term "philosophical intoxication", for instance, was widely applied to the mental disorders diagnosed when

Consumers of literature deviate from literal words to create images that make sense to them in the unfamiliar places the texts describe.

The main purpose for creating the kayak, which literally translates to "hunter's boat" was for hunting and fishing. The kayak's stealth capabilities allowed for the hunter to sneak

I find disco music to be incredible, especially modern nu-disco
The dance originality of 70s that disco had brought is irreplaceable, even until now
Absolutely, I mean The Temptations? Incredible group

The Temptations

. Originally, they associated it with re-edits of classic disco records and a handful of European electronic producers who made music in that style. It is also used by Beatport, alongside alternative dance, to describe the music on several American labels that were previously associated with the genres electroclash and French house.
In 2002, "The Independent" described nu-disco as the result of applying "modern technology and pin-sharp production" to ′70s disco and funk. In 2008, Beatport described nu-disco as

My favorite sport is hockey, do you know much about it?
i love hockey! Such a fun sport to watch. Two teams of skaters use their sticks to shoot puck into the net, what could be better?

Ice hockey
Ice hockey is a contact team sport played on ice, usually in a rink, in which two teams of skaters use their sticks to shoot a vulcanized rubber puck into their opponent's net to score points. The sport is known to be fast-paced and physical, with teams usually consisting of six players each: one goaltender, and five players who skate up and down the ice trying to take the puck and score a goal against the opposing team.
Ice hockey is most popular in Canada,

good it gives her the chills".
Lyrically, on the song, Rowland instructs her male lover on how to properly use an ice cube on her naked body. She sings: "When you come and lay between it this time / Take the ice cube (boy you know what) / Sit it right below my navel and watch what I do / And that’s my favorite angle / My legs are numb now / Your lovin’ be givin’ me chills". During the chorus, Rowland sings: "

, bonds, notes, and mortgages are all types of debt. The term can also be used metaphorically to cover moral obligations and other interactions not based on economic value.

predetermined answer. Payne notes that the effect of asking a question in different ways or in different contexts can be much larger than the effect of sampling bias, which is the error estimate usually given for a poll. E.g. (from the book) if you ask people "should government go into debt?" the majority will answer "No", but if you ask "Corporations have the right to issue bonds. Should governments also have the right to issue bonds?" the majority will answer "Yes".

I really like red wine!
I love it too, it's made from dark colored grapes and very delicious!
Yes and isn't it supposed to be healthy too?
It can be. I don't like when it's bitter though, that's caused by the presence of stems during fermentation.
Really? I had no idea. I thought they were really good at getting those out of the wine!
They usually do, the mechanical de-stemmers have a rotating cage with grape sized holes in them to seperate the stems from the grapes.
Interesiing I had no idea they had a machine for that. Very cool! What else can you tell me?

Red wine
Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored (black) grape varieties. The actual color of the wine can range from intense violet, typical of young wines, through to brick red for mature wines and brown for older red wines. The juice from most purple grapes is greenish-white, the red color coming from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) present in the skin of the grape; exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red-colored juice.

of people don't even understand that that's a reference to cigarettes because that brand doesn't exist in a lot of places in the world. It used to be a big American cigarette brand. ... The idea of the song isn't, like, try cigarettes! It's more, like, I have an addiction! In Canada all of the cigarettes are really, really moderated by the government so they wouldn't do anything and that's a good thing.

I like to hike the Appalachian Trial starting in Georgia
I had a friend that hiked part of it with his son a few years back. I realized that the entire thing is like 2200 miles long!
Yes 2181 miles to be exact.
I understand it goes all the way from Maine to Georgia. Which part of it do you hike?
Yes it takes an average of 7 months to travel the whole lenght
That would be crazy - do you hike it in Georgia or Maine?
I like which every area is the warmest at any given time Georgia is always warm so I like that part of the trail
It claims to be the longest hiking-only trail in the world. I would imagine there is a danger aspect as well though.
I can be lonely at times but an average of 2 million people walk the trail year round so there is always someone

The idea of the Appalachian Trail came about in 1921. The trail itself was completed in 1937 after more than a decade of work, although improvements and changes continue. It is maintained by 31 trail clubs and multiple partnerships, and managed by the National Park Service, United States Forest Service, and the nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Most of the trail is in forest or wild lands, although some portions traverse towns, roads and farms. It passes through 14 states: Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee

a 121-day Maine to Georgia veteran's group funded and supported thru-hike was reported to have been completed, with all but three miles of the new trail cleared and blazed, by six Boy Scouts from New York City and their guides. The completed thru-hike was much later recorded and accepted by the Appalachian Long Distance Hikers Association.
In 1938, the trail sustained major damage from a hurricane that went through the New England area. This happened right before the start of World War II and many of the people
