Maybe seriously nucking futs.
I went ahead and transferred my blog to the FFF log. Take a look.

Thanks for sharing that, NVG. It makes more sense now. I can feel your angst, but I have to say that the one sentence that spoke to me was:
"As a child, I felt that if I reached just a little higher, I could feel the stars twinkling on my fingertips."
That is so poetic. I remember that feeling as a child. Too bad we can't capture that feeling more often as we grow older.

Every great once in a while i can almost feel it. But that is the point just before things that were looking good go to shit and can't be fixed. I think that is on reason why I work myself to being tired. That way when there's hard things to do I am able to just move effortlessly from one thing to another without hesitation.
I'm still gonna keep tryin' to touch that feeling, if only for a moment.

I find that being around young children helps me. I can capture a glimpse of what it was like to have your entire life ahead of you and reaching for the stars. Of course teaching the wee ones is my job, so I am reminded of it daily.

It helps alot having the kids in the house. Even though they might be cryin' and carryin' on, it helps to know that their little world is just as, if not more important than the great big world we walk in.
I think I remember you saying you'd rather not discuss Firefly with anyone under 18. Honestly, some of my kids have watched FF and the BDM and I was really surprized how open the discussion was. A few of our clients really dig anime and the discussions we get into. One of our girls really got into Rurouni Kenshin, of which I am a huge fan. These things really helped to open a dialogue to what was really bothering them.
I forgot my point.
ADD: As you can see, I'm done for the day. I was probably done a long time ago, but I seem to have denial issues or some such. Glad to have heard from everyone. Goodnight.

I'm not sure of my exact quote, but what I was trying to say was:
I know that young teens and preteens watch the show, but I wouldn't recommend it to them. An example is that I shared it with friends that have a 15 year old daughter. They watched it with her. I would not have a problem talking about it with her because her parents let her view it. I would not have given it to her to watch without parental consent.
I know that young teens watch programs with a lot more sex and violence, but being a teacher, I would feel ackward recommending anything with sex and violence for them to watch.
Firefly is filled with such heart and soul, and of course you know that I love it or I wouldn't be on FFF.net. 
I could see how a discussion of life in the 'verse could be a great interaction, but explaining the need for a companion in the future makes red lights go off in my head. In my profession, there are so many people that are anxious to sue any teacher that has inappropriate discussions with young teens.
Does that make sense?

Just caught your rply so I'll hang out for a bit.
I got what you were sayin' from the start. I just wish more parents could sit with their kids and discuss the problems translated in the media. The various media we are surrounded by could be such an invaluable tool if people would utelize it properly. I'm glad there's still folks out there like you VE. There are so few that actually give a crap that should be tryin' harder still around.
Okay, now I'm out. Hugs.
