I have refrained from commenting because I do not have children, (1 stepdaughter) but I think what he did deserves a little praise. I read the link that Wildchild provided above and he sounds to me like a pretty great dad. His methods may not suit all, but he obviously knows his kid and what works with her. He has repeatedly made his comments and replies strictly through his facebook page. He has turned down many, many requests for interviews because he 1. does not want him or his daughter to profit in any way from this. And 2. Wants his words to remain his...not be edited to say something twisted. I clearly remember some pretty harsh punishment when I was a belligerent teen. I was never physically disciplined, but I remember as if it was yesterday how mad my father was and I never wanted to cross that line again...and never did. I love my father dearly as I know he loves me. I survived and grew to have a much deeper respect for parenting. (he and Mom raised 6 girls!) I think this man may have acted a little irrational, shooting her computer but certainly turned it into a teachable moment. I dont care if it could have been donated or not...it was their property, their punishment. I applaud him for the act of following through with his discipline. ( I think this is where many drop the ball and kids know it) He and his daughter I believe have bonded over this experience. As he mentioned...she will never again doubt his commitment to following through on doing what he says he will do. (good or bad)

Why not try Craigslist? It may be a better choice for selling tickets anyway. There are a lot of people who don't use Facebook, especially males, while Craigslist is a typical site many people go to when looking for tickets.

Is there anyone who can help you? I know you're a tough cookie, but this is such a lot of work, with the worry piled on top. Will you be able to stay at your house? (Are you also expecting a lot more rain?) I'm really glad to know your dh is with you--thanks Marilyn and Linda for posting. Will continue to worry and pray for you and yours!

Darn. DH said last night he thought Rockport too far for it to be Moses. I reminded him he doesn't know exactly where Marilyn is and was still hoping. I'm glad someone's donkey is safe and just displaced. Marilyn, still thinking of you this morning!
