Sorry, venoma. Still doesn’t wash. Unless the 16-year old is emancipated by court order, his business technically isn’t his. To enter into a binding contract, one must be an adult.
And where the fuck did I say “kids don’t save money”?
Monty, you’re being an ass. If you want to be technical, it wasn’t actually “my” car at 16. When I turned 16, my dad and I bought it ( his money ) for me to have a car. Both mom and dad’s cars were much nicer, I was the only one who drove it. I paid insurance, maintenence and gas. It was purchased for me to use, i.e. it was “my car”. The fact theat the title didn’t pass to me until I turned 18 is a meaningless nitpick that is totally immaterial to the story anyway.
As to the rest, sorry, you are wrong. A person under 18 years old who has a valid driver’s license can legally own and register a car, reguardless of their state of emancipation. Try again.
I think you have an incredibly over-inflated view of yourself and your importance in relation to this board. Trust me, no one will be talking about you when you’re gone. No one will care.
Myrnalene, snarky much?
Good for you. Given the history pkbites has of getting an idea into his head and not letting it go regardless of how many people show him the difference between his ass and his elbow (hint: there shouldn’t be a hole in your elbow), I figure that comment is entirely justified.
Oh, humble apologies…I thought we were talking about THIS thread and what it contained. I had no idea we are able to post a condemnation of another poster based on what has been said in an unrelated thread. :rolleyes:
And thanks for the anatomy lesson too. 
Oh, any comments from the Magic8ball Appreciation Society about her admission that “I don’t do drugs or alcohol that she knows of…”? Given **Ginger’s[b/] previous categorical statements that M8B does NOT indulge in such substances, this seems a bit curious to me. I am NOT here criticising M8B for such use ( I am aware that most teenagers experiment to a greater or lesser extent), just wondering if there are other things about M8B’s life of which Ginger is unaware?
Yeah. She is in fact a hooker, living in Argentina. She sucks off dobermans for crack, and runs meth to elementary students. She is also not particularly adept with punctuation and hyperbole, and the use of the ROLLEYES SMILEY.
kambuckta, your attacks have become tiresome. I’m terribly sorry you feel that I’m a bad Aunt and that I don’t know what I’m speaking of. I am done defending my niece, and myself, from your petty, insulting nature. If you’re going to degrade yourself in that way, I can’t be a party to it. You seem bent on believing whatever you want to believe, regardless of what anyone else says. Have fun with that bone.
Now, this here is a problem. If you’re going to make statements, at least have the balls to stand behind them - don’t hide behind Ginger’s apron.
I happen to know Ginger, and I happen to think her opinion is pretty well bang on, and if she says that you’re a good kid, fine, I’ll take it as fact.
However, if you start making IMHO obnoxious comments, and then expect Ginger to cover for you, you’re doing her a disservice. People that don’t know Ginger hear that she thinks you’re a good kid, and then you post jerky stuff on here, and people think “Wow - Ginger must really be out to lunch.”
Not cool - fight your own battles.
Ah - to have the arrogance of youth…
Anyhow - it’s a real drag about the job. My mom did stuff that was totally unfair when I was a teen, and contrary to what PKBites has to say on the matter, I STILL know that they were unfair, despite the fact that I’m an old broad now.
Unfortunatly, such are the perils of youth. Suck it up. Study hard, and go away to school.
Now that mum and I live in different proviences, we get along swimingly.
Good luck.

This is the most family/friends laundry I have ever seen aired on SDMB. It reminds me of my wife’s family reunions (shivers).
Well it’s good then that since you’re still a child, your opinion doesn’t count.
:rolleyes:
Well, yes, *Guinastasia , I consider it a gift. But the idea that anyone here is going to gossip about and degrade or even think about ** magic8ball for the next six weeks, with her not even here, is annoyingly out of touch with reality. So do you disagree, or are snarky comments now out of line in the Pit, or what?
[sub]Or are you just jumping my ass because she’s Ginger’s niece? Tell the truth, now.[/sub]
Why would I do that because she’s Ginger’s niece?
For fucks sake, all she did was say she wasn’t going to be around, and she said, SARCASTICALLY, from what I could see, that everyone could continue gossiping about her while she wasn’t here. Since it hadn’t stopped anyone before.
DOH!
Gossiping about her? Where? People are responding to her in the thread that she started, asking for clarification, wondering if there isn’t another side, even projecting their own problems onto her situation and making wild-ass assumptions. It happens in every Pit thread. She brings her problems in here, puts her relatives in the unenviable position of having to vouch for her character without dragging any more family issues to light than have already been aired, and then chides us for gossiping about her? Then she has the conceit to imagine that after she’s gone no one will have anything better to talk about than her? She seems to have confused this board with her junior high school, and it amuses me. That’s all. Self-created drama followed by indignation always gives me the giggles.
** I apologize. I thought that what she said was so stupid that I had to search for a reason for anyone to defend it. I withdraw the comment.
Just a note: she said she’s gone, y’all are still talking about her.
Look, for what it’s worth, I think she does have some points-she shouldn’t have to quit her job without notice. On the other hand, her primary focus should be on her schoolwork. And I think her perhaps that she has made some mistakes.
However, I don’t think that qualifies for the downright hostility I see from people like pkbites and such. All right?
Sheesh, I know what I was like at fifteen…shudders
I am responding to an active thread, some eight hours after her last post. Will I be talking about her in six weeks, or even two days from now (and that’s being quite generous)? Uh, no.
I agree with everything you just said, but I still think she’s being silly and immature.
True, but weren’t we all at one point or another?
