i hate leaf blowers and all people who use leaf blowers. I want to ban all leaf blowers and cause discomfort - not pain, but discomfort - to all who use them. The symbol of my movement will be a rake and a dove. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

My favorite is the two in the backseat, "He touched me." "Well, he touched me first." "Did not." "Did too." Challenge. Oh I can be a spectator to that one for a good eleven minutes. After that the beatings start. [ Reply | More

LOL! My mother had a flash of genius on similar situations. Obviously this won't work for the car, but if they are fighting at home, give each kid a paper towel and some windex and put them on opposite sides of whatever glass is handy - door, window whatever. After 3 minutes we were always laughing our heads off and she had fabulously clean windows. Well - low windows anyway [ Reply | More

It's like the leaf-blower-people. They hate rakes and the hosers hate brooms. It's all a hatred of manual labor. [ Reply | More
