Bob, my thoughts are with you and your wife today as well. I hope you've rested and they have information for you soon.

Greg~ That's what he gets. Happens to my husband all of the time and he always, um, just stays firm in his direction? One time, I was so fed up. We were walking up the trail at Torrey Pines. Some parts were narrow but, actually, these parts had room for two people. These sets of people, dressed similar {meaning, they looked like they were not dressed for a hike, as were the majority of people on the trails}. They would not move. At first I was like, oh, they are busy in their conversation. Or, we were coming around a corner. They took up the whole path. After a few times I stayed to the right and pushed on through. Did not say excuse me. I was pissed. Respect is not given to those who don't deserve it.

Jenni~ My dad just made us sit on the couch and chill for a bit. Not that you need it, but, do you guys ever watch 'Super Nanny'? I love her way. I wish I'd have seen her show. My kids were good, but, I wish I had known how to be more, um, hmm, structured? Without feeling like I was taking over? I hated how it was my moms way or no way.

Anyways, yes, I think she approaches the time out like you stated. To give them time to think about why they were put in time out. And, not in a corner. After the time passes, I forget if you have to make them explain if they understand why there were there and you are supposed to hug and end on a positive note.
