Ouch that would annoy me for sure.
And - where did I miss the reasoning that decent Adirondack chairs are now 400 fucking dollars a piece.

Might I suggest browsing the Trades thread? ;)Quote:

Ooh boy, intern. More charity work with a dubious potential at the end. Shell probably end up taking one of those 4 week courses and get a teaching license so that'll help eventually. It will also trap her at home 5 days a week, 8 hours a daybso she won't need to be driven anywhere and she'll be here to watch the dog so we can go do stuff.
should be one the how do i hate the espn but that wasnt on the first few pages, how espn continues to suck nfl cock nearly 24/7.
was watching the get up show friday, they spent maybe 3 minutes on the ncaa's which were full of stories from day 1 then its back to nfl, aaron rogers and lamar jackson, two stories that had no new news; just they till spend most of the time speculating. espn knows nfl cock so well from how much they suck on it, they could do sculptures and drawing of it perfectly.
Hey! I found my drunken St Patrick's Day post above. Thought that was in the St Pat's thread

I was driving my parents around well before I was old enough for a license. I would not put up with a bs kid who couldn't drive. Especially if I was housing them and they were over 16.

Well I'd say there's a difference between a medical reason that precludes driving and someone just not wanting to. If you are physically and mentally capable of getting a driver's license then you should unless you can be sufficient using public transportation and/or walking. You shouldn't expect others to cart you around.Quote:

Some people just shouldn't drive and she's one of them.
wtf is with all the Snoqualmie threads? Who the fk cares. They annoy me.
Practice makes perfect. Seems like the only way for her to get better is to actually drive.Quote:

Come on, now. Anyone without physical or mental limitations can learn to drive a car safely. It's not rocket science. It does, however, take some practice.Quote:

Add a solid dose of the survailance/tiktok recording state and knowing that somewhere, someone is recording whatever is going on. Combine that with cars that you can't do some shade tree DIY to tune, fix up or customize to your teenage whims, and the whole concept of independence is gone. What illusion of independence are we offering kids now?Quote:

No kidding. Give them 3 months to place their feet and then start charging market rate rent and tell them to take an Uber.Quote:

Well we don’t have snow on the roads anymore so I’ve pushed her to start driving herself again so my wife can sleep an extra hour a day.
Her excuse this morning was my truck is blocking her in the driveway. I moved my truck. Mom still drove her to school. That annoys me.
In days past, someone would have dropped a photoshop of Blurred riding a mobility scooter right about now.
