In my experience, the only thing that ever worked to stop bullying was responding with enough violence to make it more trouble than it was worth.
When I was in 9th grade, I had trouble with a bully who kept sneaking up behind me in the hallway and knocking my books out of my hand when he caught me with my guard down.
One day I let the books fly, spun around on the spot, grabbed his shirt in both hands and slammed him against the wall and held him there. I looked him in the eyes and said, "Stop. Doing. That."
He stopped. Heh.
I suspect Owen is starting to resemble me more than his father.
I still can't believe how cold it's supposed to be tomorrow.
Just thinking about dealing with bullies makes my stomach queasy.

Aww, jeez, he's all grown up already. He looks like he's ready for first grade. He's an awfully good looking boy, though.
My F-SiL is gorgeous!! As is his mamma! Damn you look good woman! I can only assume the totaly STUD was DH?

He cleans up nicely.

I know! No matter how many people told me, "it goes by so fast" I never believed them. I do now.
He really does look like you, Cash. And what a lovely boy!
That's a very you expression, Cash. Cutie-head.
It's increasingly clear that Pointy-Haired Professor Boss does not like the undergrad we hired.
First, he complains because she talks too much. Today, on my way out the door and towards the bus, he tells me that she shouldn't be on e-mail so much.
I wish he'd stop being such a micromanaging ass.
Thanks everyone! I loved that veil, I just wish that it wasn't so long that it became uncomfortable to wear after the first dance.
ND, that picture was taken as we were dancing the Tarantella. So much fun.
The bouquet was Black Magic roses with white mini-calla lilies and bear grass loops. It turned out exactly as I had envisioned.
Apparently at the phone center where I work, we are not allowed to dress up for Halloween.

God knows you can't let the potential clients know your employees can have a bit of fun. Even when no such clients are scheduled to visit.
