When you call them tell them you want to limit the access to the router to only certain computers. They should be able to show you how to look up the MAC address and where to put it in the router settings. That way even if someone gives them the password it still won't let them connect. HAHAHA

JD I hear you man.Get this s--t off your chest. My buddy called me last week to thank me for raising my boys the right way. I thought that was a strange call. I am in Central New York , one boy is in Michigan and one is in Arizona. My friend is in Michigan. I called him back and asked what's up ? He told me his step son called and said that Lukes boy Tyler came by with some stuff from his Dad, and would I give it to you. I use to work with Jim and he had been called out to the rail yard at 0230 hrs that morning to fuel engines. He was looking at a 16hr day. When he got home the driveway was shoveled as was the side walk. He went in and thanked his 28 yr old step son for shoveling. His reply was I didn't f**king do it. It was Lukes kid. He loves his wife, but her son and daughter are testing his patience. He has raised his own kid and they are fine quality young adults. He has, as you have bailed her kids them out of one jam after another. I think if it was not winter the dead weight step son would be gone. Just know you are not alone in this. I wonder who is going to work and run the country with generations of people like these kids.

I want to play Devil's Advocate.Were there no bums back in the day? Everyone was productive? Probably hard for a generation known for being high on weed and LSD. People in the Army say "Back in the 90s the Army had standards! All the new soldiers are undisciplined and are just here for the money." I'm pretty sure in the 90s people could do an entire career and retire without ever having gone to war. Some people that joined then saw an easy job that would pay for them to go to school and then allow them to retire. These days, you could have been in five years with three year long deployments, fighting in a country that ultimately doesn't give two sh**s about you....they just want to take take take from the US. Then you can get out of the Army, try and claim your VA benefits and get the run around for a year or two. Then when you get said benefits, they are one of the first targets for people looking to cut the budget. So, in review...those kids you're talking about remind me of Iraq and Afghanistan Thanks for letting me rant in your rant.PS - All the Congressmen today are from my Dad's generation....thanks Dad!!!!

Randy you make some very good points. I agree with you on several issues. I was in the Army when guys like me with college and going into a high tech job were looked at like we were not real soldiers. I had E-7'S that I worked for that had not completed High School , but were in charge of a platoon or larger.So yes every generation has its bums,taker and lazy a**es. Military or civilian it does not matter. Some where along the line the Army should have had all soldiers complete high school or get a GED before being promoted above E-5. I would think that it has all changed by now, but not sure. The VA thing, don't get me started. I have had my battles with them and it is insane. I know the frustration about being in a country that does not want you, but wants all the U.S. aid/money. Very good counter point, you should run for office someday. Thanks

Lot of good information there Amos, thanks for your points.

The vast majority of young people were not hippies back in the days of the hippies. They just got the most attention on the evening news. And very few boys wore leather jackets in the 50s. I guess I mean to say that every generation will be burdened with false images. Are there more bums today than in previous generations? I hope not.

A judge last week denied the teenager's request for high school tuition and current living expenses from her parents. A date had been set for April on the other issues in the lawsuit. Canning, an honor student and cheerleader at Morris Catholic High School in Denville, said in court documents that she had to leave her parents' home because of emotional and psychological mistreatment. She alleged, among other things, that her mother called her "fat" and "porky" and that her father threatened to beat her. Canning was suspended from school for truancy in October, according to court documents filed by her parents' former attorney, Laurie Rush-Masuret. Her parents told the teen that she could no longer see her boyfriend, who was also suspended from school. Car and phone privileges were also taken away. Once she learned of the punishment, Canning cut school again and then decided to run away, her father said in court documents. After receiving allegations that Rachel was being abused, New Jersey's Division of Child Protection and Permanency interviewed the teen, her parents and her two younger sisters, but they ultimately "determined that allegation of emotional abuse was unfounded," a letter from DCPP states.

I'd beat the f*ckin sow's @ss and kick her bf in the d!ck. Then send her to public school where the black guys can hit on her and leave her empty inside.

And don't forget you can get away with drunk driving and killing 4 teens because you are rich.

A little tough love is definately in order here. The sister-in-law sent her son to us for a summer to straighten him out. He walked off the plane with a green mohawk and more jewelry than all my girls combined. The first thing we did was give him a haircut & a buddy of mine had a job for him in the plywood mill. He was too tired to whine much, but his mother caved in and let him come home after only 2 weeks. She is still treating him like a child to this day, and he still lives in her house to this day. Sad!
