A friend of mine and her family, along with my boys and I went out to eat last night. Everything was going fine until the nightmare children from hell showed up. These children will be in prison by the time they are teens.
The kids, about 4 and 5 years old where running around the restaurant like it was a playground. They would stop at various tables begging like homeless people and the parents would apologize just to let them go at it again. No discipline, no reprimand, just a brief minute of "you guys stop messing with them and come here", "you guys want some soda". "mommy is very disappointed in the way you are acting". I was about to lose my cool when another patron beat me to it.
Long story short, the family left and a few of us clapped as they did so. The parents had no regard for the rest of us enjoying the evening, so I had no problem celebrating them leaving.
I see this type of thing all the time when out for dinner or shopping. People know their children are heathens and unruly but yet want to subject the world to their devilish behavior. Don't apologize for them acting like little devils, do something about it. If you cant, STAY HOME UNTIL YOU CAN. We the public don't want to see or hear it. We pay hard earned money to enjoy ourselves, not watch your children act out.
Use common courtesy and respect others while out in public.
Am I being unreasonable? What experiences like this have you had? Vent it here.

NEW YORK—National Football League officials announced Wednesday that Dallas Cowboys cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones has committed a uniform weapons violation and will be fined $2,000 for keeping his nine-millimeter Beretta handgun in his game uniform's belt and not tucking the firearm into his uniform pants as rules stipulate during Monday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "This fine sends a clear message that there is no leeway when it comes the NFL's new firearms policy—if players have a sidearm in their pants while on the field of play, said pistol must be tucked into the front, back, or sides of said pants," a statement from the commissioner's office read in part. "Once again, the rule is clear: Players can carry up to five guns onto the field at any one time, but only if they are properly carried in holsters underneath their jerseys, in the aforementioned portions of their pants, or in their sock." Goodell also cautioned Jones to be mindful of rule 14b of the on-field uniform code, which states that one may shoot an opposing quarterback once and only once as long as the throwing arm is not targeted.
ORLANDO, FL—Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin sought to silence those who have criticized her lack of foreign affairs experience Tuesday by announcing plans for a weeklong, 10-nation tour of Walt Disney World's Epcot. According to Palin, the trip—her first past Frontierland—will include speaking engagements at Norway's famous Viking ride, sausages at Germany's Kaufhaus, and, time permitting, a fact-finding mission to Future World. "This ambitious trip should finally demonstrate that I am ready to assume the vice presidency, whether by standing in long lines at Morocco's Tangierine Café or by sitting down face-to-face with Mexico's Three Caballeros," Palin announced during a campaign stop outside a Chinese restaurant in Tulsa, OK. "All of our neighbors deserve good diplomacy, from the Universe of Energy down to the French pavilion." Palin also promised a visit to the American Adventure exhibit before returning home, adding that she hoped to learn more about her own nation and the diverse peoples within.

I was listening to a cd I made and a flood of memories came over me like ocean waves. Have you ever had that happen? These were memories of nostalgia and a little sadness.
The song that got me the most was 'The Flame' by Cheap Trick. It reminded me of someone I cared for a lot and will never see again. He will always be in my heart.
The other was 'Friends in Low Places' by Garth Brooks. A bunch of friends and I would play that song all the time when we were in college.
Where did the time go?
Do you have songs that do that to you? Which ones?
Now I'm depressed.
