Not the appropriate place for this, but I know the guy that runs the place :shrug:
My son got his arse in a real sling this weekend while at his mothers. Typical teenage BS, but it's about to come to an end real quick or he's getting shipped off to a local academy.
He's grounded to his room 24/7 other then to eat or crap with no phone, no cell phone, no radio, computor, no cd players, no TV, no xbox...nothing electric or entertaining.
In fact I was so mad when I picked him up Friday, we drove to the river, I took the battery out of his cell phone and whipped the rest into the river. Got back into the car and told him wasn't mature enough to own a cell phone. Which was nothing but a text connection to god knows who :iroll:
The Xbox is going back to his mothers for the girls, along with the happy silly games they play. The rest of what Kyle thinks he has become are getting sold. He's shown that he not mature enough for these also.
If anyone here wants something listed, it's yours for whatever it takes to ship it. Probably a couple bucks. What's left is going on Ebay for $5 bucks a pop.
All Xbox;
Black
Namcomuseum
Americas Army (Rise of a Soldier)
Ghost Recon
Gun
Shellshock (Nam 67)
Dead or Alive 3
Grand Theft Auto (San Andreas)
Grand Theft Auto III[/s]
edit- no "Contracts" game---the case was being used for Ghost Recon. List edited
Jimbo,
I will take the "Black", and "Americas Army". If no one else is interested in the rest I will take those too, but I will at least take those two. PM me with the details.
Thanks
Joe
Your in what?...south Ohio?
I'll throw one on the scale and see what shipping is.
Dont have x-box, just a psp. AA is a great game, recomend it to anyone.
I use to play online BHD, DFX, and BF2. These first person war games are really addictive, esp when you join a squad and match/ tournament play others online.
You can actually make a good $$$$ playing some tourney's. Get with the right people, and spend all of your time practicing in front of your computer screen you just might go places.. LMAO

For some reason......I just can't see you playing a game like that semp. :confused: Are they for you, or maybe your kids, neighbor, grand kids, got. :innocentwhistle: Just kidding ya. They are actually fun. especially with the right cheat codes. :eyebrow:
They're for my son. He is an Xbox junkie besides being an Apache Longbow pilot. He is getting ready to head to the sandbox and I thought he could use them to pass the time. :wink:
I cant locate the actual paper phamplet that was included for San Andreas, I'll keep looking, and if you still want it, post or PM me your zip Semp and I'll give ya a quote.
Newdog yours are $3.00 each.
You can PayPal it to admin@finsandfur.net or wait to see if you end up with more
You guys got a good deal :yoyo:
Jim, if'n I wasn't a 360 fella, I'd take them.
Man he musta relly stepped on his PeePee. I hope it works out for the better, and for sending the message.................your father after my own style. :wink:
I'm feelin your pain Jim. :madd: My son has the " I'm 18 you can't tell me what to do" attitude. He's slowly learning some of life's tuff lessons. He's about to learn some more, under a different roof. :argh: It can be challenging can't it. :eyebrownod: Hang in there.
Yeah I can remember being that age.
Being a single parent makes it even tougher, and he despises the fact that I have always refused to bargain with the sentencing.
SEMP...found the paperwork for San Andreas :wink:
I have a plat station myself but I just wanted to say>> I wish you the absloute Best of Luck with your son Jim!! :wink:
Same here. Me and the camster have a PSP2.
Hope everything works out between you guys.
Jim
Good luck,,I went through a little ordeal with my 17 year old when he was 15,,he seen the light back then and has straightened up in the last 2 years,,but now the Problem will be that my 17 Y/O will be 18 on Nov. 1st, and the law says they can make decisions when they are 18 :doh2: but I know when I was 18 me and my Girlfriend had a Daughter ,, so that means ALL the decisions an 18 Y/O makes ARE NOT ALWAYS the best,,hell now that I think back to when I was 18 NONE of the Decisions I made were the best :wo:
But good luck to you and your Son
Bob
Jim, Glad to see you are the kind of parent the will set his foot down when its needed, There will come a time when Kyle will thankyou, it might take awhile for him figger out that the reason you are doing this is because you love him so much, he's a good kid and will come around. I have some Grandsons that need the same treatment . cc
:laf: Send em up Carl...were on a roll up here
Jim
How old is your son? IF I may ask? I have a 15 Y/O Son that thinks he knows everything and I dont know anything
Damn my Mom told me these days were coming !
Bob
hell I am only 21 and still remember that phase. I only had a half year or so of it. but it turned out for the better. I am still trying to figure out what might have happend. sounds like he really flipped the pissed off switch in jim.
He's 15 Bob.
It was more or less an accumulated series of things over the last several months.
The last straw was his mother approaching the car when he came back this weekend and telling me that he trashed their lawn mower after driving it around town and running 30 bucks worth of gas through it and then smashing it into a tree.
When she attempted to deal with him concerning it, he got all tough and strong armed her until he had her pinned. The boyfriend came to the rescue but refuses to touch him, so he yelled instead. Kyle looks up and says F--- you, you p___y :shck: :shck:
She started crying when she was telling me this as Kyle hid behind the van waiting to get in. I was in complete shock. And she leaned against my door as I reached for the latch after I heard that. She knew what was coming.
I never spoke a word to him the whole two hours it took to get home except to ask for his cell phone.
When we got home I had my hands more then full trying to restrain myself from just knockin him right on his ass...and he knows I dont have a problem doing it based on the past. He kept his distance as I chewed him out.
He wouldn't even fathom attempting anything like that here, he knows what would happen. I asked him to show me what he did to his mother and he said I'm not going near you then started balling.
I honestly think that he thinks he's some damn gangster from those Xbox games. There is nothing no where remotely close to that in this hick town of 700. Yet he thinks he needs to wear dog chains for necklaces, and black t shirts all the time and a damn crooked hat. :iroll:
All the dog chains have been cut up, the pimp hats I burned this afternoon, and the black shirts got tore up for shop rags. I told him his life was about to take a major turn and he just needed to trust me, it was for the better.
He knows he's heading for the academy unless his mother talks me out of it, and he is completely beside himself over it. And he's still restricted to his room with nothing more then a light bulb and a bed.
He asked me tonight if he could come out if he would be have. I said "no" before he was finished asking.
He's been setting on his floor looking out the window for two days now.
I might let him mobilize around the house Thursday, and he'll be scrubbin all the floors by hand, washing the dishes, washing and folding laundry...and he'll be begging to set down and rest....which isn't going to happen :nono:
Jim
I dont blame you,I would be pissed of too,,me and My Ex get along great so My Kids know that I will NOT put up with certain things,,the EX told me she has used me to threaten them before also,,its the MAGIC AGE of 15 where they
KNOW EVERYTHING !!! But if my Boys touched their Mother in an aggresive Manner I would invent a whole new Level of PISSED OFF !!! But I just turned 46 and to this VERY DAY I sit around and think of all the trouble I would have saved myself IF I would have listened,,and I still Think about all the ass whippens I got and how much I deserved them ALL !!!
I do think that when they took the Paddle out of the Teachers hands,all they did was make a Generation of Kids that Mouth off and does NOT know what the word NO means !!!
Bob
I feel your pain brother! I got a 15 year old daughter giving me and my wife the major fits right now.
Hope your son comes around for you!
JD
I feel your pain and frustration. I have a 15 year old daughter that will be 16 in October. She's been a hemorrhoid for the past 1 1/2 years.... oh the joys of parenthood!
I know what your talking about Jim both my kids are grown up and we are through all that
When my oldest was 10 she took a swing at her mom and I very sternly put her in her place and 3 years later she did it again I came unglued on her and needless to say she picked her ass up off the floor and that was the last time it happened
Sometimes you have to show a teenager you are still the boss
Dang.......you guys are scaring the crap out of me...... :whew: I have 2 boys, they are 7 and 8, and I don't even want to think about the trouble they are gonna get in. Maybe I will just beat the crap out of em now so I won't have to do it later. J/K. My boys are very good, and they know already who is boss. My youngest is very strong willed, but is still very good.
I've been there Jim. I have 1 girl and 5 boys. All grown now, but have gone thru some crazy things with them. If there is no diciplen now, there'll be no respect later. Stick with it and he'll grow past this stage. They can REALLY try your patience sometimes. All you can do is be their Dad.
Just like we talked about on the phone yesterday! I understand!
Two girls one 16, and one 13 and one boy 15! SHEEEEEWWWW I fell for ya!
Brent
This is a "for what it's worth" and it may not have a thing to do with the problems you're having with your son, Jim.
I detest video games. I am a firm believer, and have been for many years, that they are a large contributor or at least a major enabler towards much of the problems of youths, including our seeming A.D.D. epidemc. Lately, research is proving this to be true. (A good book to read about this is called "Playstation Nation"). Japan is dealing with this issue right now in massive proportions. Even small "doses" effects the brain in much the same way addictive drugs do, even to the point of having the same behavioral problems between "highs." It's very alarming stuff.
Right there with ya Jim. I have one that is getting ready to turn 16 and thinks she knows everything there is. I agree 110% on the working them till they want to rest theory. I can wear Cam out and it doesn't faze him, but make him clean his room to "my" specs and the tears roll. They just like to push our buttons and see how far they can get I think. When I was growing up I never did that.... :innocentwhistle:. Or maybe I don't remember cause dad beat the memory plumb out of me :shrug:
never done anything that bad before. I knew if I would have touched mom It would be hell to pay. I smacked my brother one day in the dead center of his back and before I knew it my father which was across the room was up and standing in front the right hand came and i was looking up to a index finger and him saying now don't ever do that again. that was the last time.
If a had a nickel for every ass whippin I ever got I wouldn't have to work today!! Then throw in a couple pennies for the stuff I got away with & LOOK OUT VEGAS!! But I never did that.
I'm Sorry you have to go thru this & I feel for you. I sure hope Kyle can see what he has done & realize just how wrong it was,, & will continue to be,,, for his sake. It won't be long now & he's gonna want to talk things over with you.
I hope his Mom didn't get hurt & is doing OK too!! :biggrin:
Thanks guys, tonight was his first lengthy journey from his room. He came out real slow, hunched over, and squinting his eyes. Kinda look like Sadam when they pulled him from the hole.
No I'm kidding :laf:
I let him out tonight, we had a pretty long discussion, and I made it real clear that he's not who he thinks he is and that I'll be reminding him of it quite often.
You wouldnt know it's the same kid right now. He's treading extremely lightly
