Orientated is currently preferred use in general British use. Oriented is prevalent in technical use, and in the US. Last time I checked, I was still in the U.S. Howz'bout you, Pete?

Grammar Police sez, "It's all over now, people. Nothing to see here. Go back to your homes. Move along." What is your fascination to with grammar? I don't know... expressions of poor grammar are kind of like when you see a fuzzball on your freshly pressed shirt. You just want to pick it off and throw it away, as it seems to take something away from the whole presentation. It's like cringing when ignorant morons say "orientated" instead of "oriented". That one always get me right here. :thump the chest over the heart:

Now that's fuckin' funny, I don't care who ya are. [thread drift] Not exactly pot, but back when I was in my early 20s, I had a co-worker who had a sister that worked in one of the big hospitals in Houston. She would let her brother Dane know when shipments of nitrous oxide were due in, and would leave the mechanical room access doors unlocked. Two of us would come in dressed like the gas delivery men, pick up a cylinder (they were like 4 or 5 feet tall, big fuckers), and take it back to Dane's house. Then we'd call all of our friends and have what we referred to as a Bagpipe Party. Price of admission was a Hefty trash bag, some rubber bands, and the casing of a Bic pen with the ink cartridge and writing head removed. Take the garbage bag and scrunch up the open end and stuff the empty pen casing into it with the writing end poking out, secure with rubber bands. Force the end of the pen into the cylinder's regulator nozzle and inflate the bag with laughing gas. Insert end of pen into mouth and "play your bagpipe" until you're rolling on the floor When you've had enough and are ready to go about your day, sit back for about 10-15 minutes and breathe normally, then be on your way! No hangovers, no lingering buzz to fuck with your driving, and it's entirely legal (except for the stealing of the gas part)! Great fun! [/thread drift]

yea verily, dare i see ethereal

No, no! A tunnel! We need a tunnel under the lake. The technology is available NOW. More like: available for the past 15 years, give or take

fat fingering the keypad

WTF? My backside ain't sexy time good enuff for ya? Yeesh! Some people are so damned hard to please.

I've never broken my nose (or any part of my body, for that matter), but I was born with a deviated septum. I finally had it operated upon last December and I've never been so blessed to breathe as I am now. And to think that the rest of you go around breathing so freely, without even a second thought! You should all be falling down upon your knees and giving thanks and praise every day for such a miracle. My miracle cost me $1,806.72 after insurance and deductibles. Best money I ever spent. :snifffffffffffffffffff: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Otolaryngologist. An ears, nose, and throat doc.

So which one was it? Spankings, or whipping the shit out of you? You make them sound interchangeable, whereas in my book, they clearly are not. IMO when you are five years old they are the same thing. One just hurts MORE. Either way your parent is hurting you and it does not feel good. When you are 5 years old they are most definitely not the same thing. IMO. Clearly, we disagree on this. Spanking a 5 yoa and whipping the shit out of a 5 yoa are worlds apart. IMO.

Hey! What about me? Am I just pâté in this little spat?

Child abusing Kevin, I just had to use that line, borrowed from minx. I found it very funny when she first used it upon you several weeks ago. Seriously, Kevin, while your child may or may not have boundaries, the parenting style that you embrace seems very lax by my standards. However, you need to be aware that I have never beat, whipped, spanked, nor even slapped my son. There has never been a need, as he is a very compliant and sensitive boy. Even if he were not, I still doubt that I would ever need to employ corporal punishment with him. He responds well to reason and requests for corrective action. My daughter, OTOH, is an extremely willful, spirited, and obstreperous little brat that knows full well how to play Mommy and Daddy off each other to get what she wants. And Mommy plays right into it, much like it sounds like you do with your son. Countless times she does things in front of me that she knows full well are unacceptable behaviors, only to smirk and tell me, "I tell Mom" if I am to attempt to employ corrective measures. I now find this situation untenable, as I am effectively rendered impotent as a parent in regards to her. I fear that my daughter will grow up believing that if she whines sufficiently, or cries enough crocodile tears, or pitches a big enough tantrum, or throws herself bodily to the floor and kicks and screams and flails her arms and legs wildly enough (yes, she does that), that whoever she is dealing with at the time will give in to her demands. I, however, do not subscribe to this form of behavior. However, it is difficult to reconcile this when Mommy does allow it to reap rewards for Daughter. It appears to me that you are on the same path as my wife and daughter are. I wish you luck, and hope for society's sake that things turn around before it's too late. And for the record, I have spanked my daughter only four times in her little life, and each "spanking" consisted of a single swat with my bare, open palm across her clothed butt, not in anger, and only after my repeated requests, entreaties, directives, and assorted other molly-coddling to adhere to appropriate behaviors proved ineffective. I hardly call that a beating or child abuse, and I wholly believe a court or CPS would agree.

Thanks for the tip, 5K. I need to get right on that. My life will be so much simpler then.

Where do you get this shit from? WTF are you taking about. "no consequence parenting"??? What is that? That is not how my child is being raised. That was not my dad....... Kevin, I have not the time today to debate this with you online. Someday, should my misfortune become any worse than it already is, you and I will meet and we can discuss this subject then. But suffice it to say that, in my opinion, you will undoubtedly find, in the years to come, that your failure to instill boundaries and impart consequences to Junior's ill behavior now will have repercussions far beyond the day that you enter your grave.
