Re: Monthly chat February 2018 Yup! When I was growing up, spanking was always there, hanging over your head, and once you've been spanked and felt the pain, you are far more likely not to misbehave than you would if you had never felt that kind of punishment.I'm thankful the threat

Re: Monthly chat February 2018 @OrkoYikes! I'm sorry about your cane. I would call what those kids did rather cruel. It's not only the lack of supervision, but also a lack of understanding how other's feel. People are so focused on teaching career skills to their kids that they forget

Re: Monthly chat February 2018

Re: Monthly chat February 2018 One of the biggest problems with kids these days is lack of supervision. These days it takes income from both parents to raise a family so gone are the days where one parent stayed home, and most people don't bother with arranging some place for their kids

Re: Monthly chat February 2018 It is not related to tune in, it is related to the voice Alexa is using, the voice for UK is, from my perspective worse than the one in the US who has alot of songs if you say Alexa, sing a song, it has a more pleasant tone and I personaly prefer american

Re: Monthly chat February 2018 @Angel, I'm not sure what you mean by "the UK voice can't sing or understand as much" or what this has to do with tune in. Tune in is essentially an independent radio playback service that you can subscribe to on various devices, the Alexa is one
