Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sounds like she could not manage doing two things at once.
She was doing two things at once! Endangering herself and others!
I learned to drive from a driving instructor rather than my parents. They decided this after my older brother managed to get the side of the car ripped off while my dad was teaching him to drive.
This is all very apropos, as my niece is taking her SIXTH try to pass her driver's test today. She can do everything except parallel park.
Oh, this [link] is sweet.
I do not parallel park. So far I've managed to get everywhere I need to without doing so.
That's lovely, ita. Good on him.
He's A-OK.
I didn't have to parallel park for my driver's test, but it was one of the things I was generally good at, when I did drive -- me and flea! Non-driving parkers unite! I think for me it's because you're the only one moving, more or less.
I don't parallel park. My parents tried to teach me to drive stick (they failed) , Mom's best friend tried to teach me (she failed) I can't drive stick. I also really didn't want to drive so I did the bare minimum in lessons, managed to pass my driver's test when I was 17 or 18 because my parents made me. And I was a lousy driver for a long time, but I'm better now.
Exactly, Jesse! I feel that I would be an excellent driver, if I were permitted to be the only person driving within a several mile radius. As long as nobody else moves, I can handle it. (I mean, I *have* successfully merged on the New Jersey Turnpike, but I frankly hope never to have to do that again. Two lanes met three lanes and became four lanes, if I recall correctly. If I believed in Hell, it would be sort of like that. Possibly with my mother in the car.)
Mom taught me to drive in a graveyard near our house when I was 15. Basically worked out, but an early attempt at turning in reverse resulted in us veering down an incline and nearly taking out a headstone.
$1,000 does seem like a lot for a straightforward tooth removal. My out-of-pocket was less than that for 4 wisdom teeth, and one of those was impacted.
TV critics are being funny on Twitter today. 3 consecutive tweets in my feed:

The mood for the imminent #AnimalPractice panel -- if the monkey is not here, I think the room's going to turn ugly. #tcas12
Joe Adalian @TVMoJoe
Animal Practice about to begin at #TCAs12. I don't see a monkey on stage. This is unacceptable.

WE HAVE NO MONKEY ON THIS PANEL. THERE WAS A MONKEY ON THE LIST. THIS WILL NOT STAND. #tcas12
