Asterix was one of those things that I probably would have loved, since I have a minor obsession with comics, but my French teacher ruined it by being the most joyless human being in the world.

She also sucked the charm out of Le Petit Prince and made me resent Nutella for a couple of years.

Which is why being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in the world, after being a parent. A good (and bad) teacher can change your life really...

our foriegn language teacher, Senora Candelaria was the sweetest woman.  She really opened a new culture to us and made learning fun.  I was lucky. She was my favorite HS teacher.

My favorite teacher was our history teacher. He could talk for ages and he made us think. Once he spent one half hour idolizing Napoleon Bonaparte, sent us out for a break. After the break he spent another hour telling us what a total jerk Napoleon Bonaparte was, as if last hour hadn't even happened and finished by asking us to submit a paper on Napoleon. I loved that man.

Good morning...

I see we are talking about, children and parenting.... this one I don't want to touch with a ten-foot pole!
In my day..... well let's just say the kind of sh*t that goes on now.. never did as a common occurance when I was younger..

Today's parenting v our parenting..

wow! don/t let me get on my soapbox here......   Parenting as I knew as a kid is almost non-existant (sp?) today.  You can't discipline a child without the threat of "child abuse" being thrown at you.  In my day, if my daughter threw a hissy fit because she did not get something she wanted in the store, she got a swift (humane) rap on the butt!  end of hissy fit.  When I was a kid... I never saw it.. but in the back of my mind my "Father's Belt" loomed on the horizon if I did not behave.  And "the belt" was a great Peer Preasure release.  Let's face it, kids will do stuff as a group that they would never do on their own... when something like that came up all I had to do was say " Nah.... my dad will kill me if I did that"  ...  that statment alone disfused a lot of shinanigans.  Nuff said ...  but parents need to know it is OK to say NO and stay with it!!! 

Sorry back on track....

Good lord this thread is epic. (De-lurking in the middle of massive catch-up - I stop reading for 5 days YIKES! 700 to 1200?!  )

• I am sooo getting the PC version and stopping living a modless existence. The talent involved in these is amazing...bravo!
• KoP, please add me to the collection of Alistair fans who think you're awesome. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/smile.png[/smilie] While I am a fellow console player currently and have no Mori screenshots to post, I would if I could.

Off to continue catching up...

Oh, and when DH commented there was a new DLC, I think he got the shock
of his month when I told him no way, no how. (He's been having a great
deal of fun with my DA fandom, particularly of Vanillastair.) Then he
got to listen to fangirl rage as I explained exactly why my $5 was
staying firmly in my wallet.

Welcome Ursula!!  I'm an xbox user myself, so I feel your pain.  I've been fighting buying the PC version for months now.

Although... I had my very first closing on Tuesday (I'm a brandie-new real estate agent, and yes, I am accepting congratulations and pats on backs ), so I do have a check coming my way in a couple days.  Perhaps I should reward myself with the PC version.....yes? no?

Yes, hello..  I got the PC version..  it's quite different playing it than on the xbox but like a brand new game..  controls are a little more difficult ...  Here's some advice tho....   don't go to grazy with the mods...  it is possible to have 145 items in your inventory before you even know it!! 

[inclemency]

Lol, I did the Xbox version first then just had to get the PC version...I'll never go back, the mods are great. (First one should be white teeth! lol)



^^ Congrats, Mel

I definitely won't go crazy with the mods.  Some new hairdos would be nice though.

The only downside to me having the PC version is that I could take real screenshots, and you all would be denied my beautiful xbox screenshots.

My parents never laid a hand on me EVER. I am quite capable of saying no to my children and stick to it, without laying a hand on them or scaring them into submission. I think I turned out all right, all things considered, and I know my boys are turning out just fine.

End rant.

Wait. Was this thread awesome enough to talk about French comics? How can it do so without Capitaine Haddock from TinTin!

Oh...sorry double posting, but also the quality you save at makes a difference too, I always save mine at max quality in photoshop, I crop to get just the part I want, rather than resizing the image, and I still see better screenshots...like Gilsa's, now I know to do a little adjusting too..lol

Oh, I don't have Photoshop, this might make a difference.  If I crop it is just at Photobucket.

That could be it right there. Google a program called Gimp. It does alot of things that photoshop does, but it's free.

Ooh, thanks.  I open source.

How did we get talking about parenting and/or our childhoods?  My childhood traumas were very mild and provided by cows and farm machinery.  And bees.  Still hate bees.

I used to get the belt if I misbehaved and got a slapped a couple times when I mouthed off (I wasn't a perfect child) but I tried not to get into trouble mostly. By the time i was a teenager I hid in my room and drew and wrote my own comics to escape.  (they weren't French comics though, thats awesome KoP, I don't understand a word of it but Tin Tin is classic)
Swore I would never raise my kids that way and have never laid anything more than a bare hand to their backsides.

I didn't understand a word of that, but that guy seems very angry about bandits, pirates, vampires, and evidently Slimer from Ghostbusters.

That's okay, I had a co-worker as me how old I was, and when I said 29, she then said :"Gonna have to stop playing video games soon." I wanted to punch ehr in the face. And then she later expressed surprise that "someone like me" went hiking.

Sounds like quite a punk.

lol, Addai! I'm 38, too. And I think I get more into video games as I get older. How does that happen?!!!

Hatred of humanity and its overall stupidity of people as whole drives you to spend time in the house?  That's my excuse.

I think that's it, exactly! Especially as I'm stuck in LA. Most the people here make me want to roll my eyes constantly. It does not breed strong ties of friendship.

Funny but Silicon Valley does the exact same thing.  There are some very nice people at work and my husband's family is grade A, mostly because they're European immigrants who remember what real work is.  But I look at the designer license plates around me and roll my eyes a lot.

That's the point. He sometimes uses weird words as insuts. I don't know what Bachi bouzouk means.


And once again I feel like the kid around here.

I lost approval with Alistair for siding with Cullen! What the heck?!

Really??  I didn't.  He loves me more than you, that's all. 

He's not going to love Idun when she takes a knife to poor little Connor.  I'm dreading it, but I know it's what she would do.  I figure the Dalish deal with abominations the old-fashioned way, and sacrificing one for the good of the clan is something they would have had to learn to do.

I'm a little frustrated at how different the book and game Dalish are.  I want the book Dalish.

You actually lose less approval killing Connor than sacrificing Isolde.  Abominations being a greater threat than the blood mage in their midst I guess.  I actually got approval from Wynne and Leliana (and sten by long distance) when I had Isolde kill Connor.
