    i had the family meal thing, and now i quite like it. another opportunity to spread the word.

    my dad taught me to check my mirrors often when driving and to suspect the worst from other drivers. he also taught me to trust the compass totally when navigating, and not to use my knees when climbing.

    my mum has taught me to as a rule never forget the accent, or singular / plural endings in foreign langs.

    there weren't really rules...i definitely had a longer leash than most of the kids i knew, but my dad was a stickler for safety things. if i was unnecessarily putting myself at risk of getting hurt he probably would kick my ass. like one time i mowed the lawn without shoes on and got my ass handed to me...
    Gimme some elbow room and I'll lock it down.

    Ooh, this one.

    Know your limits (re: drugs and alcohol) is the other one I remembered. I usually even follow it.

    Any particular reason for that?
    "Her development, her freedom, her independence must come from and through herself. First, by asserting herself as a personality, and not as a sex commodity. Second, by refusing the right to anyone over her body; by refusing to bear children unless she wants them; by refusing to become a servant to God, the State, society, the husband, the family, etc. ... by freeing herself from the fear of public opinion and public condemnation. Only that, and not the ballot, will set woman free, will make her a force hitherto unknown in the world, a force for real love, for peace, for harmony; a force of divine fire, of life-giving; a creator of free men and women."

    2. If you're going out- turn off your fucking computer. We don't need the perpetual roar of something in the room that's not being used.
    Always try to be polite when addressing people you don't know.

    My Dad and Nan had the rule that I couldn't speak with the accent of the town I was born in - which I now no longer do so I guess that rule worked, though it's probably not a good rule as the reason for it was that I apparently sounded like I lived on a council estate

    Eating everything on your plate is a rule I hated but now end up doing without meaning to and it really bugs me when people throw away food or leave a tiny amount of food on their plate - I don't care how full you are, if it's less than a mouthful you can fit it in
