I would not mind. I’d redo some major decisions and be in a better place at 35.

SQUEEEEEEE!! That bow, though. <3

Mine just woke up from an afternoon nap, and is now limping around the house because his foot fell asleep. We’ve all been there.

Andy needs be taught the proper way to hold a dachshund. That can do some serious back damage, Andy. Stop it.

Showed this to the dog I’m watching. She looks at me for five seconds, like “Are you even serious right now?” and went back to napping.

Egggzactly. Even my wife, after being together for 10+ years, thought that I enjoyed changing the oil and working on people’s cars. WTF! I told her, rather forcefully, that I enjoyed modifying cars to be more fun or better, that’s it. The rest is just work.

That there is some form of prerequisite to being a car enthusiast, like knowing how to drive manual, read a UOA, or replace a spun rod bearing. The only requirement to being a car enthusiast is to be enthusiastic about cars. From there, you learn.

That we all watch NASCAR. Someone please inform the vast majority of Americans that NASCAR is NOT the only form of professional racing in the world!

That we, in our free time, want to fix and/or modify your car for free. Usually this happens while you hang out in my garage, touch everything, and spew car diarrhea from your mouth that is incredibly inaccurate. Your cousins exboyfriend did not have a mint 9-sec Fox Body, ever. I would have known about him and the…

You are right, wood can be flexible enough for the same use as plastic in mice, though I don't know how long it would last. Another option would be to make the buttons flush to the surface, like parquet floor.

@DzoHo drew this for them

Distractions suck. I deal with them two or three times an HOUR because I got paired with somebody who needs constant hand-holding. It’s all I can do not to hiss “what is it NOW?” at her. It’s as if I’m sharing a cube with my mom. It’s really a miracle I get anything done at all.

Yeah, I agree when you live a closed off, insular life like this woman apparently did, it is very hard to see past your four walls.

Studies have shown that children of parents who are too authoritative and show no compassion or love for their children struggle with low self-esteem and depression, so I’m not surprised that this young woman became this way. I’m all for emphasizing overall success for your children but if you criticize your kids more…

That’s the big hurdle though. When you’re raised like this it take a LOT to realize you can live out on your own.

Abuse doesn’t end at adulthood, considering how strict they were, Im sure she endured it for years after her confession came out.

This is a damn shame on all accounts. Don’t be that tiger parent who places all of their failed hopes on their child. And kids, realize that once you are 18 you are in control of your own life and can move out to get away from it all. Too bad no one at her school or none of her friends were able to help her. Maybe…

The gap between feeling pressured by one’s parents and trying to kill them is vast, and nothing in Pan’s case or her history explains where her capacity to dream up such a violent plot came from.
