Personally, I like D&D because I find OCD much more interesting than ADD.
That is SOOO sigged
By the way, Nerissa... thanks for sigging that. I love it every time I see it and actually just spent a few minutes reading the thread it's from for context.

This afternoon the munchkin came running up to me, gave me a big hug, then held her face up for a kiss. And after I kissed her, she grinned and said "Thank you"

She's very polite, although sometimes a bit hard to understand. I firmly believe that manners need to be taught by example, so from before she was old enough for it to matter, I used "please" and "thank you" with her. She picked them up with almost no coaching from us. We still need to remind her occasionally, but she's already much better about it than the average 4-year-old.

That's good. So good. I'm glad you're parenting so well! (Some of the things my friends or friends-of-friends do/say around their kids... ugh!)

Teaching a child social niceties is so underrated.
of course, the average 4-year-old is probably more understandable when they say things When she says them, they come out "peee" and "aht-do" but she uses them appropriately so I know what she means.

you can't let that go unpunished. if you don't respond to that with corporal punishment, she'll get lazy.
For a long time it was hard to understand my kid sister unless you spent alot of time with her, and one day she woke up and pronounced all her words perfectly.

Heh, my mom taught her to say "I love you" and it comes out something like "alublu" which is even funnier because she exaggerates her L's like crazy, with her whole tongue sticking out.

Hello chat. What's the worst that can happen after spilling water on a keyboard and not immediately turning off the computer?
I saw an episode of Voltron* where a wrench falls on a computer keyboard, and not only does the computer catch on fire and explode, but it took the entire building out with it. So, you could be pretty screwed.
In the former, the worst that could happen is you need a new keyboard.
Ah, that's good. Well, that sucks, but it's better than what others have told me.
So it was a desktop keyboard?
Yes. When it comes to computers and balancing things I really suck. I placed a very tall glass of water on top of a stack of paper, which then tipped over and spilled onto my keyboard and lap. Most of it hit my lap thankfully, but I know jack-shit about electronics so I just started attacking the keyboard with paper towel, then turned off my computer about 5 minutes later. Then I blow-dried it. I do not know if this was the proper thing to do.

rock and roll. alcohol is a drug.
that's why the phrase is perfect.

And Aemilius, no, I wasn't thinking that because it's a stretch and is stupid. I'm not much for scatological humor.

All the cool kids are doing it
Polite!
Alcohol is a drug?
Yes a very powerful drug actually
Adorable.
So...wait.
If a health site lists "drug and alcohol services" they're just being redundant?
That too.
Yes it's part of the bullshit social stanard that says because alcohol is legal it's not a very dangerous drug.

In the latter, the worst that could happen is you get a new, $3000 paperweight.
Well that's just plain irritating.
Too much cute!
oh man... the Arizona tea with the ginsing and honey... it's got to be the worst for that
<.<

no... that's not from personal experience or anything... really...

*May have been some other old cartoon.
Maybe if the keyboard was sitting on top of an expose motherboard for some reason...
It's just...
I like wheel of time a lot.
And c'mon, that was not a good oppurtunity for a joke.
I don't think it's shit.
I just don't delude myself into thinking it's great. It had a lot of potential, and some books were awesome, but as a whole it's fallen short.

Ah.
Worst case is that you need a new keyboard.
