Watch out sharx they are trying to take away your drivers license.

 

I was a product of the school system that didn't allow a teacher to touch a student. Having said that my parents had no problems letting us know when we were wrong, with a good spanking, slap, or my Mom's favorite: pinch and hold... as hard and long as it took.
I agree with you in the sense that most kids just need a good smaking around every once in a while, including cumminnotstrokin's nephew! But, remembering the teachers I had I would not be ok with them disciplining my child, some of them were worse then the kids... maybe it is a product of the lowering standards on both sides of the schooling systems. I am not trying to be rude to any teachers out there, and I would love to let teachers punish my kid when she gets to that age, but I want to be kind of selective as to whom does so, and that would just be a pain administratively.
Anyhow, Cumminnotstrokin I hope you are doing everything in your power to make your nephew learn. If it were me I would have had him be there for all repairs, and help (tool b*tch). Also, don't forget your wife (not that it was her fault) but she needs to understand (much like all of us who drive diesels) to remind someone who we let borrow our truck (if anyone) to put DIESEL in it as the label on the damned fill up states!!! (going back to the f*d up school system... can't even read "Diesel fuel only")
I am glad to hear you got the truck back up and running. Good luck with the rest of the stuff.

 

aww, thats a bit harsh, Not everyone needs that,,, my dad was racing cars and getting speeding tickets at 72.....I hope Im half that energetic when I hit 72

 

I agree, not everyone needs that (My grandma just stop racing dirt oval track cars and she just turned 80), but just to be on the safe side they should all have to do it.... hey, if you can pass every year then you got nothing to worry about .

Seriously though, I didn't mean take the driving test every year, I just meant at least take the eye test part of it or something. My other grandma just got her's renewed like a few months ago and I think she said it is good for 5 years!! You know what can happen in five years... all kinds of crap, especially when you are that old!
