Nah. I posted it in the pet shop.
Just dealing with the 15 yo know-it-all and ungrateful teenager stuff. Normal trials of parenthood.

E7 sorry about your daughters attitude. I am sure things will work out ok. I went through something similar when I was about 17 or so.
Thx.
As did I. Telling my wife about my own experiences settled her down a bit. She's viewing it as a failure on her part. I'm telling her it's normal and not OUR/anybody's failure.

Gratz on the 20K post zombeh!

We're not at the same level, but my son is very much about the ungrateful teenager attitude, right now.

Ha!
I taught middle school and have done a lot of work with high school students. It's amazing how they are less than half my age and they know everything and I know nothing. Actually, I love that age group. They're old enough to know and understand a lot and so you can (kind of) talk to them like adults, but they are not experienced so you can really mess with their minds. In your case, it's especially difficult because you see them making all the same mistakes you made and are (or feel) helpless to prevent it. Still have a few more years to go with my kids before I hit that -- not looking forward to that at all.

It has something to do with the pelvic splanchnic ganglion...

I thought that was the "emergency exit".

Seems a whole lot worse than I was that age. The boundaries btwn thinking something and saying something seem non-existent.

And I want to teach this group for some insane reason.
@E7: Of all the mean and angry things my siblings and I said to our parents in a fit of rage I think that's the one line we never crossed. You have my sympathies.

The Game Challenges thread. A very unskilled troll has been driving the thread, and he keeps painting himself into corners by making absolute statements that can't be backed up and don't make any sense. Plus, he refuses to acknowledge me since I whupped him good last time he tried trolling me. It's comedy gold.

I honestly can't follow that guy's line of thinking. Makes me want to bang my head against the wall. Especially when at least three other people have explained it to him in simple terms.
Why are we not allowed to abuse stupid people again?

Don't know if I fully understand the references to the pigs and flowers, but it reminds me of a game our group played in one time...
"Can we build a raft?"
"Out of what?"
"Trees?"
"You are in a plains area."
"There are abslutely no trees or wood anywhere around for hundreds of miles?"
"Ok, you see a small copse of trees."
"We cut down some trees."
"You can't."
"Why?"
"They're giant Sequoias."
"There is a 'small' copse of giant sequoias in the middle of this massive plains area."
"Yeah."

It's a good question. Particularly with respect to such unrepentent trolls.
Oh well.
