Whenever my kids ask me "are we there yet?" or "how long until we get there?" or some such thing on a long driving trip, I respond by increasing the amount of time on each answer. On a 10-hour drive, by the time we are only an hour away from our destination, I might be telling them...
"Well, it looks like we have maybe 12 or 14 hours to go. Well, maybe more like 18 hours, but if we don't hit too much traffic it might be less." This seems to drive them nuts for some reason, but is quite effective at preventing an endless line of "are we there yet?" questions:) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Hurley Sent: Friday, May 27, 2005 9:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Graphics Help, Please >----------------------- > >Message: 5 >Date: Fri, 27 May 2005 02:13:48 -0500 >From: "J.

I recall as a child belaboring my father with an unending stream of questions. When finally pushed to the limits of his education or inventiveness he always responded in the same way: "Some sort of damn condition" he would say. In time I came to accept the "damn condition" as the end of that particular line of questioning. :) Jim _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
