Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.

The problem is she got turning it one way, but then it took her a minute to realize to loosen her hand so she could get a new grip without turning the other way. She did eventually figure it out

she will not be under my car. I don't even get under my car. I know NOTHING about mechanics. The only thing I can teach them is change the oil and wheels, the rest is for a professional
