'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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.
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
Timelies all!
Nova is meowing up a storm. I guess she wants her food NOW!
Ha! Followed by...

The monkey has just entered riding an ambulance, and we all laughed, so we are all huge jerks and WE ARE PWNED BY THIS MONKEY. #tcas12
I'm pretty well indoctrinated by the Hollywood beefcake machine. I find most of the designated eye candy candylicious. But I can't work out why Alexander Skarsgard isn't working for me: [link] So close, but no cigar.
Work is expressly irritating today. It doesn't bear thinking about, and I'm not done yet. Tomorrow's 1 on 1 with my manager is going to be awful. But I'm going to have to be frank about some shit. I can't keep letting other people's problems get in my way.
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.
Absolutely. It's why I liked city driving the best, too -- plenty of time to get your bearings at red lights and stuff.
Here's a fine example of how we'll be safer if more people are carrying guns. [link]
My initial lessons were in the parking lot of Golden Gate Fields.
Oooh, that's close to where Emmett's mom lives.
Jeez, Typo, that sucks. I'm sorry.
msbelle, you are the nicest! When I think about the monkey head you bought for Emmett's scooter it fills me with happy.
Took Driver's Ed in High School.
Bought my first car with money I made from my first job before I was even 16. Learned how to drive stick by going first/reverse in the side yard before I got my license.
Failed my first driving test by doing the three-point turnaround backwards.
Parallel parking? I have to do it multiple times a day, and can ease the car in with a clearance of no more than 2 inches on either side. It is not uncommon for me to spend 3 to 4 hours a day driving while covering Emmett's various travels.
I *can* parallel park. But most people prefer that I don't.
