The psychologist told my parents I was a typical adolescent. And looking back, maybe more than that because among other things I told my parents that they were not my REAL parents, insisted on taking a typewriter on the boat for lake fishing and other stunts.

Hovv'd the typevvriter on the boat vvork out for you?

A fish hit with a typewriter has no chance.

I never used it but that was not the point - adolescent rebellion was the point. Now I can identify with your sons. It's like having a mild headache and then knowing from experience what a full blown, all out headache feels like.

There's one thing I'm really grateful for. And that was being able to tell my mother later on that I was truly grateful for everything she had done for me. The adolescent "storm" had passed and I was able to see that they had done the best they could for me. Sadly my father died much earlier from cancer.

It was a portable and I did carry it. My father wisely did not call me a blithering idiot for the entire episode which finally allowed me to see my idiocy for myself.

That's vvise indeed.

So long as no one's getting hurt, and nothing's getting broken, people usually learn better having made a mistake rather than hearing they're about to make a mistake.

When you have the winningest thread on RF, nay, the winningest thread on the internet, i think you will find it doesn't slow down...

And that's a winner.

Same for my (almost) 7 years.
There are odd nights when it gets a bit quiet on an American celebration day. But usually it's always good for a laugh

It slows down when @PoetPhilosopher is on because we all hide.

You could hide behind a tree. But then @Stonetree might get the wrong idea.

Aww, come on, he ain't so bad, I've learned quite a bit from his nerdy explanations of technical stuff.

Never get behind @Stonetree , that's something no one should see.
