must be twins!

Ed let me point out a couple problems that I'm seeing here.

Daughter breaks the car.

First problem: She doesn't pay to have it fixed. No lesson learned.

Second problem: She breaks the car and is just given another car to drive until hers is fixed. No loss on her part so theres no incentive to keep her other vehicle in working order.

That's just what I'm observing. I'm not a parent (OBVIOUSLY) but that's just my observations. I know that if I was breaking stuff without consequence I wouldn't care. In fact I'd try harder to break it because you've showed her that if she breaks that car she can drive yours which, I assume, is nicer. So to her that means "If I break this one I get a nicer one"

 

I swear I am one of 5 women in the world who can actually parallel.

I admit, women can't parallel for *****!

YouTube - Yes, it's a woman!

YouTube - Yes its a woman

 

Bingo.

Thats exactly what I was thinking only Pete has a better way with words.

That and my T button is intermittently not working and its pissin me off, keeping me from posting.

 

You know what the R on a woman's transmission stands for?

RUN!!!!!

In the past 2 years mom has backed into:

My mower that was parked on the lawn all the way across the driveway behind her spot in the garage. No damage to the mower. A hole in her rear bumper.

A boulder. Yes. A boulder. She was backing out of a space after one of my soccer games and smashed into a boulder placed to keep people from driving on the fields.

What dad, my brother, and I have backed into in the past 2 years combined:

 

I could do an obstacle course, in my 22ft long truck, backwards!

Randy's mom I guess backs into stuff all the time...she's even hit the house a few times.

My sister put a big ol dent in her Forester...backed right into my truck. Didn't do a thing to the truck - the tow hooks got her.

 

AH, but here is where I'm going with this. I'm just making sure the car is in perfect running order so there are no more excuses.

Then I'm going to take her down to DMV and have the pink slip transfered over to her name and then she is on her own.

Wont be any of this daddy crap going on with my car is a "POS"

Really? go buy your own car. She has just about every cent she has ever earned in bonds and CD's, so trust me she could pay cash for a car if she wanted to.

which is what she will have to do too.

Wait till she moves out with mom. Insurance company wont cover her on my policy if she dosn't live with me. (yes, I did make her pay for her own ins) But $469 for 6 months she has now will be $800 for six months when she moves out.

whoops reality check.

whoops rent? whats rent? why do I have to pay rent?

I can't wait for that one.

this is going to get real interesting cause Mom wouldn't let me charge her rent for the last 8 months. Life gets hard. so I hope you are ready sweetie.


I'm a bad dad. lol

No you aren't. Absolutely not. Ed the real truth is, she is an adult and needs to figure this stuff out on her own.

I have pretty much bought and paid for everything I had/owned since I was 16. My dad paid my car insurance while I was in college (saved my ***) but I paid my own tuition and rent...and I'd come home on the weekends to do laundry and eat all his food.

I have been on my own from the very beginning and I became my own person because of that...but dad was always there to help me if I ever really needed it...when it mattered.

My point is, I think what you're doing is right on track.

 

goodnight I'm going home everyone. If I didn't sit in front of a computer for half the day trying to sell something and part of the day BS'n with you guys I would say I would talk to you later. I'm not. lol

I'll see ya tomorrow.

There are some women out there who are awesome drivers. Unfortunately they are an extreme minority.

True story right here:

Girl I'm friends with (who's pretty dang hot and I wouldn't mind goin out with) comes up to me because she "has a funny story"

So she tells me about how her dad let her drive down their street to their house (She has no license or permit) and she almost hit their house.

I ask her WTF she was doing. She says that her dad told her to cut the wheels and hit the brake. Except she hit the gas... Her dad reached over and slammed the car in park and it stopped in enough time that it only dented the gutter on the house and the front bumper on the car.

She then wonders why I start asking her WTF she was thinking.

I tell her "What if that was a crosswalk and there was someone there and you hit the brake instead of the gas. What if there was somebody in the driveway."

People in my generation JUST DON'T GET IT. Especially the ones of the female variety...

 

well thank you.

I have been out of the house and on my own since I was 15.

pops was there for me too, when I really needed it. But I never really asked and when I did I'm the only kid who ever borrowed money that actually paid every red cent back. Don't get me started on this one cause my sister........ well she. grrrrrrr never mind.lol


I'm going home.


I said good night.

no i'm really going.

Anybody else ever noticed that when daddy's little girl gets her license he gets a car for her, but when his son gets a car he's on his own?

All the girls at my school have their "Daddy bought it for me" new Civics, etc. And the guys that have their own cars have all crappy ones.

One of the seniors drives an old minivan. It's hillarious though. We loaded half the soccer team (7 or 8 guys) into it with gear to get somewhere once. It has a ball hitch on the back and it dragged when we went over speed bumps.

 

I'd just like to know how many BIG bucks I have missed because I was snoozing!
I remember one night me and a buddy went out partying the night before opening day of turkey season. The next morning I get to his house and finally get his *** out of bed by blowing the horn and calling. We get set up on a couple birds and they are coming in. I'm doing the calling and he was supposed to shoot. I'd call and the bird would hammer, finally the bird gets in too where I could see him and I know my buddy has a shot..... I call, the bird would hammer. This went on until the bird finally figured out what was up, and Pert, Pert, Pert, he takes off. I look over and somehow even with all of the calling and gobbling...my buddy is fast asleep against the tree!He will never live that down!
I sending that story to a few people!
I think they call them Stunna Shades now.
Tristan, you may want to check to be sure your ESOF hubs are unlocked. I had one that stayed locked in once and when I turned hard left it would make a popping in the front. Stupid axle joint.
I was going to comment on that but Cris beat me to it.
My dad has had the spotted tick fever twice...it aint pretty!

Just got in and got caught up. Had the PSD washed this afternoon and its looking good. Gonna look better with some new rims...if Uncle Sam doesnt forget about me!

 

Good evening everyone!

 

LOL. Thats pretty funny Pete. She'll figure it out eventually...somehow!

Her dad on the other hand, thinks and moves quick!

LOL. Thats funny.

On time I was up on the top of a hillside...I had been out all morning without much luck (warm that season) and it was about 10 in the morning and I knew the deer would be bedding down, so I propped myself up against a tree to take a nap. The stupid magpies were telling on me anyways. I fell asleep and woke up to a noise, woke up just in time to see a nice size buck run down the mountain....

..and that was the last deer I saw that day.

Hey Joe. We're talking about spoiled teenagers, women drivers, hunting..and...BJs.
