Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I pushed the button! I knew that bit!
But you have to press the brake at the same time, and I didn't know that bit. How are you supposed to know that bit???
It's a tricked out late model 328i. There's no cigarette lighter, there's an AUX input and a USB port, as is right and civilised. I still didn't work out how to play the music on my phone before I got home. But I will charge the iPod for the drive to work tomorrow.
(I don't want to drive to work tomorrow)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Good lord, ita, you sure don't need that. But surely the loaner must be insured to hell and gone and not really your worry.

can anyone point me to a page that clearly explains why or why not the Veterans' Jobs Bill would have violated the Budget Control Act?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I... actually agree with him entirely, and have pontificated on this to my workmates on occasion, but I'm still somewhat uncomfortable with my government dissing yours so openly. I don't see it making diplomatic relations any easier.
I agree with him but it's startling to realize we're at the point where other governemnts can say so publicly. But perhaps it's like how if you never talk about Uncle Steve is a drunk, it's easier to ignore. And we're edging nearer an intervention.
Yeah, just wait until we invade you. Provided we can actually find Australia.
Look for Hobbits and then zig right?
so it's going to be an exhausting weekend in which I earn lots of parental karma-points.
I am earning what had better be a decade's worth today, tomorrow and Saturday.
Though I'm also going to blow through them if my family doesn't figure out group texts. Motherfucker.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

NOOOOOO! That takes you straight through the Mines of Moria!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
snerk, bt!
Why??
Oh, sorry I disappeared for a few hours. But here's the answer: my kids play the old 'jinx' game, you know the one where you both say the same thing at the same time and yell "JINX!" and whoever says it last or forgets to say it is jinxed and can't speak until someone else says "pickle juice!" At least pickle juice is the current safe word. When I was a kid it was Coca Cola.

Ok, there is so much about this story that does not fit my previous impression of the Amish: [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
'jinx' game
We always said "JINX, you owe me a coke." There was no rule about silence or a release word.
