Don't Tell ME What To Do!

I think telling a person what NOT to do is as - intrusive, controlling, annoying, offensive, bossy, caring, wise - as telling someone what TO do. So if someone says to you "don't tell me what to do!" aren't the essentially telling you what to do?

Additionally - I beat an ambulance off the line tonight coming home. Stopped a stop light. Both first in our lanes at the intersection. I killed it! I know you're thinking I'm a moron - and that a huge, heavy truck will lose every time. But come on guys, we all know ambulances have places to go. 

Thirdly, I think I should make it my goal to watch shows in real time. I always play catch up and watch shows days - if not weeks - after they initially air. It takes a bit of the fun out of it when everything is always available. No more arranging my schedule accordingly. My girls and I used to have SO much fun on Thursday nights watching Grey's.
