NUTS

My oldest daughter just turned 16 this month. She is old enough to drive. Looking at her I can't believe she is of legal age to drive. She's still a baby! She currently doesn't have even her permit due to having a C on her report card. I'm not that mad at her since she is already in college classes and almost has enough credits to graduate as a sopsamere. Her subjects are rough, and I can't help her anymore with math.

I just can't believe she is of legal age to drive. When I was 16 I thought I was plenty old enough to drive. I was a full grown man in my eyes lol. Looking at my daughter she still looks like a very young child to me.

Any other parents go through this?

    "Many conservatives have great regard for history as a guide and
    as an indication of what to expect from the future, while many
    liberals have a utopian view of society that requires a suspension
    of disbelief in order to be seen as practical. Because much of
    current liberal politics is built on theory rather than practice,
    history can be an awful inconvenience. So-called 'Progressives'
    can ill afford an electorate versed in political and cultural
    history, so their only option is to debunk historical truths that
    contradict them, or to argue that history is always relative
    to interpretation. Herein lies the real danger to society
    as a whole. Questioning history in an effort to uncover the
    truth is healthy. Refuting a truth (regardless of its validity)
    because it doesn't support a political theory is the death-knell
    of liberty." --Sterling Rome

    Love pecans, peanuts, filberts, almonds, brazil nuts, macadamia, etc. Love pecan pie. But the best pie I have ever eaten was one my great-grandma used to make every year at Christmas out of hickory nuts my great-grand dad picked up off the ground under 3 HUGE shaggy bark hickory trees in their back yard. Sure do wish she were still alive to make me one. [:(]

    BR...Yes, like pecan pie, but with hickory nuts. I have recipes, but you know how it is. None taste as good as hers used to. Thanks for the links though.
