Applies To Me

silvereyes: My mother in law has hit her adult kids, but she is an alcoholic and does this when she is drunk.

Does your parent hit you? silvereyes, that does not sound like "discipline", but rather like anger, and it does not sound right to me.

Don Rickles died. I will miss him.

Turned 65 yesterday. No big deal, but looking forward to discounts! Turning 50 had more impact: the 1/2-century mark, accepting mortality.

Merry Christmas to you too.
