Madison's Kind of Woman

And of course the obvious that it sends the message out there to other parents that this one is doing her job, so they can (some parents don't realize they "can" actually level harsh punishments) and should (some parents don't "care" to teach their kids) do theirs as well. Not to mention that other kids will hear about this, know their parents heard about this, and those kids might want to avoid having such a thing happen to them, thus, they would behave appropriately.

Great point Madison. So many parents are cowards nowadays and this might encourage them to exhibit a little backbone when it comes to discipline.

Not really related to this thread, but has to do with drunk driving: A woman from where I live recently got charged with a DUI after being found passed out at the wheel of her car after it drove off the road. After taking her to the hospital, her BAC was .72. POINT SEVEN TWO!!! I'm torn between being alternately disgusted and amazed by that. Officials say that's the highest in the history of this county for someone who didn't die. Though she was in a coma for two days at the hospital. .72...wow!

72...wow!

Yeah... That's

You should really post that story in the "I'm Drunk" thread.

SOFIA, Bulgaria - Incredulous doctors made five blood tests on a drunken man to confirm he had a blood-alcohol content of 0.914, far above the usual life-threatening range, police and doctors said Tuesday.
The 67-year-old man, whose name was not released, was hospitalized Dec. 20, when a car knocked him down on a street in the southern Bulgarian city of Plovdiv.

A breath test showed high blood alcohol level, but police officers thought the result was inaccurate, because the man was conscious and talked with them, said Col. Angel Rangelov, head of police in Plovdiv.

Laboratory analysis of five subsequent blood samples taken the same day confirmed that the man had had a 0.914 blood alcohol content, Rangelov said. An 0.55 blood-alcohol level is usually considered as life-threatening.

How old were you when you got married, JT? I was 21 years, four months, 12 days old.

Hmm... Let's see.

I was 22 years, 8 months, and 14 days old.
She was 18 years, 10 months, and 16 days old.

The judge looked at us like he thought we'd be back next year for the divorce. It was 7 years last Saturday.

Looks like you weren't the only 1 doing stupid things as a teen.
