Reply:sounds to me that you come from good roots,or stock.I was raised you dont be afraid of the dark,you be aware of whats in it;the dark never hurt anyone.mean what you say an say what you mean.you can lead a horse to water,an he will drink.you dont break horses at all you lead them in to the water an then you get on;theres respect in the moment for both of you.my papa was the greates man in my life,and still is.I never use the word step on people in my family...it analiates the relationship,like they have to step up to your level or prove something.when your family your family!everyone is excepted there are no clauses here. There are days I'd rather pissed on than pissed off; at least I can wash my leg.poop does run up hill,an its usually on two human legs.I use the following words on a daily bassis...spud not potato's,ice box not fridge,root cellar not basement,I'll tell you to get to steppin,and blessed be. If i hear anyone use a woman's anatomy as a reference to something else ,I'll chase you down the street with my broom!I'm Glad that I was disciplined,it gives you structure,parents aren't given that right these days.Mother nature is my coolest friend,and all you out there not doing it right;she is watching and boy is she gonna remind you! be proud of who you are! LEARN ALL YOU CAN FROM YOUR FAMILY,TEACH IT TO YOUR CHILDREN,AND REMEMBER TO NEVER TAKE ANYTHING,MOMENT OR LESSON,GOOD OR BAD FOR GRANTED.....THANKS Blessed be
