Gran Torino is on HBO. Such a great movie.

My son started drawing as a toddler and even when he was in elementary school, always put so much more detail into his drawings than other kids his age. I used to draw a long time ago and was pretty good but was never even close to the level of my son. Encourage her...take her to the art museum! You aren't that far from it.

I have a great-niece that draws and tends to deal with depression, being bullied, etc. Her drawing is her escape. She is also pretty good and we encourage her as much as possible. I posted some of my son's recent works that I finally got in the mail after they were in limbo since June....they are in his thread about his travels.

I second that.

I have no artistic talent in me. Drawing, painting, musically.....well that's not entirely true, I can listen to the **** out of music.

Seen it 2 times. Clint is the man.

Ok now I'm off to bed

G-Night Red.

 

[MrsGungho]

I should go to bed. I am super exhausted again. But I won't

 

[churchmouse]

I had encouragement. My parents were a big part of that but my grandpa was a bigger part. When he died a little of me died. He's been dead almost 40 years and I think of him daily.

I envy all of you that miss your parents. I have no idea what that feels like. I have been to their grave's 1 time at the behest of my sister. It stirred no emotions in me past
That is just sad.

In front of the camera or behind it. He is great.

These grey cold days will drain you. They do me.

dealing with a friend who has it the same as you. My heart aches that you didn't. But, You didn't follow in their footsteps and you made yourself a miuch better parent.

Not really. The way I look at it if they weren't there, didn't encourage then why should you care? Maybe I have skewed way of looking at things but to me blood isn't an automatic bond. Well intended actions are.

Truth.......My spouse/children and the friends I surrounded myself have made me into a better person. I am still improving and it is not with out a lot of help.....
