Sarah, I have a daughter who turned 15 in September.
Last weekend she was on the computer all evening saturday and all day sunday. If I ask her to come off she acts listless and bored and makes us all uncomfortable, but my patience finally snapped and I told her to come out to the shops with me.
When we got to the shops, however, she just refused to get out of the car.
I said “Come on, you’ve not had any exercise all day. It’s not good for you, just come and choose a pizza or something”.
No way, she was not having it, she refused to even speak to me about it, just sat there til I came back from the shop.
Now I have every faith that my daughter will grow into a fine human being but, Christ, that age when all the hormones are kicking in; I remember being difficult myself at that age but I’m on the other side of the fence now and it is bloody murder!

Nobody’s against anybody having fun, but when one member wins over half the titles and wins them by such a margin on the scoreboard as happened last month then it spoils it for other members who quickly get discouraged and bored with that situation and stop playing, which is what happened when den was winning so many titles month in month out at the begining of the year.
I don’t want the arcade to atrophy like that again.

Okay, let’s all be friends now because I have my point of view and you have yours and it’s becoming obvious that never the twain shall meet so further bickering will achieve nothing whatsoever.
Thankyou:D

Thank you for the pun, Leaky … very clever, indeed.
In return, I have a quote from someone you sort of meantioned, for all of you suffering the slings and arrows of puberty.
“When I was 14 I was embarrassed by what an idiot my father was. Then, when I was 21, I was amazed at how much he had learned in just those 7 years.” ~Samuel Clemens
Now, let’s see how many of you can find the connection. :confused: I admit it’s a stretch.
Also, it’s been my obsevation, armchair parent that I am, that boys are much easier to raise than girls. Because, with boys, you only have one little weenie to worry about. :p LOL!
Not much help am I?:rolleyes:
October 7, 2007 at 7:10 pm #164539Leapy LeoMemberAnnie, I was reading your post over to myself wondering what the flip was going on before I noticed the enboldened twain in the post you quoted and then I thought I was onto something, perhaps Mark Twain or Scots poet Robert Burns [who I think the quote comes from originally] but then I was stumped…
Sorry, I think I’m gonna need some help…
😮
October 8, 2007 at 1:57 am #164552AnnieHallParticipant^V^V^:rolleyes:^V^V^Okay Leaky …. I’ll tell you …..…..but first…. Anyone else care to hazard a guess? 😉
October 9, 2007 at 6:58 am #164553AnnieHallParticipantAnyone? …….. Anyone?
Bueller? ………… Bueller?:confused:
the voice in my head sounds like Ben Stein today
No?:rolleyes:
Samuel Clemens is Mark Twain. 😉
I’ve only read 5 books cover to cover in my whole life and he didnt write any of them. So no telling how it is that I knew that and you didn’t…. other than the simple fact that I am a varitable cess pool of useless knowledge.
One day, while watching Jeopardy with my Mom, I aced the british literature category, I mean I got every one right and not only had I not read any of the books, but, some of them hadn’t even been made into movies. :confused: I can’t explain it.
October 9, 2007 at 3:37 pm #164540Leapy LeoMemberThanks Annie. I wouldn’t have got it having completely forgotten Mark Twain was an assumed name tho funnily enough [hee hee:D ] I realised that I did know it after I’d read the answer…:confused:
I did, honestly:D
And well done with the literature “ace”. It was always my favourite subject at school.

^^^:rolleyes:^^^LMAO! Leaky, everyone knew it after they read the answer. I have to admire your grasp on the obvious there, pal.;)It’s like when you’re looking for something and people say, ‘It’s always the last place you look.”
Well DUH! :confused: That’s because you stop looking once you find it! LOL!
That has always bugged me.
P.S. I know what you meant, just giving you a hard time.:p
