[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 782667, member: 7509"] One of my daughters came home one time with a young man with assorted metal through his body at various points, baggy pants around his knees...the works. Just what every father wants to see a daughter bring in the front door. I asked why? - the answer was "to be different"... I assume he meant from all the other kids with metal sticking through their bodies and pants down at their knees... I suggested something like a better way to be "different" would be to write a book or compose a symphony... Well you can imagine what my gut reaction to that first meeting was... but I held it inside for a time. I think he was trying to get a negative reaction from me. A negative reaction which would have justified further negative behavior. Long story short, despite the very negative first reaction, this young man has now cleaned up, has no more metal in his body, at least that I can see, got a decent job and he and my daughter are going back to finish college. We can even carry on a reasonable conversation. And his pants are usually held up by a belt. True story. Jim (makes loading a hesitant bull seem like real fun... Maybe I'll write a book some day. Probably be classified as "fiction", couldn't possibly be true...) [/QUOTE]
