But otherwise, just park normally!

Backing up in traffic is against law here, you have to leave your driveway facing out.

Hehe... good thing my kids doesnt hang out in the same places I do.. well, apart from facebook, but I am almost never logged in there anymore. I just created an account to be able to communicate with the productioncompany when we were on a TV-show over here.

My personal serenity prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to not drink a liter of vodka a night,
the courage to face my 5yo each day,
and the luck of Slite and Geoff.
AMEN!

I was just joking. It is a fact that a child given a good example throughout its life will (almost) always emulate proper manners later.

Even though they'll try to kick over those rules when they're younger... Isn't that what it means to be a kid? To see how far you can bend the rules without breaking them?

"Later" can sometimes mean mid-twenties, however.

And sometimes not even then I have a friend that at 47 is still the same obnoxious bastard he was when we went to kindergarten together

I dunno. Verencat was rather obnoxiously quiet at the meet up!

I used to be mum's quiet, little, do-no-wrong angel-child. Now I'm the black, cloven-hoofed one of the family litter (a view more widely held than just by
mother-dearest, I suspect).

I didn't so much change...it's just that the ongoing gravitational collapse brings with it some occasional relativistic hyper-velocity, high energy emissions (mostly from my mouth...mostly).

Cheers,
Marc

FARKING EMR!!!!!



Notice how I'm using Trebuchet here?)

[vivaldirules]

I agree. I have had particularly poor luck with the latest Emotive Mark-up Runes. I find them most unpleasant to use compared to the old and faces.

[DixieGal]

Farking EMR? How so? Didn't it simplify and artificially-intelligently change your world for the better? Aren't you farting rainbows every time you have to digitally re-sign the note that you already signed as a hard copy? Because that's what they do, you know, they make your life simpler and more efficient. They would never create duplicate patient charts that require painstaking merging by hand or suddenly lose progress notes from April or put the whole danged patient population on ritalin or schedule someone to be in MRI and bladder leakage clinic at the same time or ......
