How you manage to honk at that beats me. I rarely get a chance to stop and stare at drivers. I'm too busy watching traffic and the road sins.. Only tome I see is if I'm a passenger.<br />But the best part about your mean streak is you make us smile :))Heidrun Khokhar, KleinsteMottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16174142810114806410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-85312937336745482242011-11-10T08:57:44.280-06:002011-11-10T08:57:44.280-06:00Judy,

Honk for me. <br /><br />Amber Starr,<br />Thanks and so sorry the trickster time change caught you. Sunday I was thinking my neighbors hadn't changed their clocks as they were really late. Then I realized that I had set all the clocks but my watch. Duh. <br /><br />Reader Wil,<br />Thanks and I am still working on the homework assignment you gave us. Sure hope you grade on the curve. <br /><br />Retired English Teacher,<br />I can only hope those who can prevent this set of miseries does take advantage. I am really regretting my gamble. <br /><br />Dianne,<br />I am so glad. What pain he feels now is nothing compared to what he would feel if he got the disease. Ouch on the price though you must have good insurance.

The part she wrote is in quotes and it is linked back to her page at the newspaper where she works. I've seen enough and heard enough to see the protesters are asking for Communism and they don't understand what they really are asking for, plus they are not in the same league as the old ones way back when.

Oh I used to do that also in Florida,...troutbirder,<br />Oh I used to do that also in Florida, especially on freeways when they had several lanes to chose from. Here the roads are so curvy and the passing zones so tiny, that people have to tailgate to get around you. So I just find a spot, pull off and let them play through.<br /><br />LC<br />Ha,ha don't you miss the old "clunk"? Hanging up now is just as unsatisfying as slamming a revolving door.<br /><br />Blue Ridge Boomer,<br />And that is the truth. For Mighty, it is also trying to get his bladder regulated. <br /><br />MerCyn,<br />We really are at the mercy of big brother aren't we? Then add cell phone cameras and we are just doomed. <br /><br />Olga,<br />Ha ha, except maybe right now???<br /><br />Muffy,<br />You know with climate controlled cars, windows are closed so it has to go somewhere. Eeewwwww. <br /><br />Linda in NM<br />Please tell SM that someone in Arkansas totally understands. I moaned big time but Mighty was my only audience and he just thought I was talking to him. No sympathy. <br /><br />Cheryl,<br />Like I told troutbirder, I used to do that very thing in the flat lands of Florida but these crooked roads make that hard so I just pull off and let them go around me.<br /><br />Inger,<br />I am happy with both time periods, it is just the adjustment that I am slow to make. <br />So glad you are doing so well with your circulation in your feet.<br /><br />Brighid,<br />Ha ha, when I worked as a toll collector after retirement, we were higher than the cars and saw much more than we should have. <br /><br />Dianne,<br />I sure hope David qualifies for the shot. Not everyone can get one. I'll keep toes crossed that he can.<br /><br />Angie,<br />Thanks, this last lap is welcome. I agree. I too hate those telemarketers and tend to cut them off quickly, say thanks but no thanks and hang up. Some one has to do the job but I don't have to listen.<br /><br />Carolyn,<br />For a while there I thought you were going to be fussed at also. Way to go, you made all but one person happy that day. <br /><br />Mumsy,<br />Thanks for thinking only the best about me. Wish I were that innocent. <br /><br />Betsy,<br />Ha Sometimes I think I should have kept my Florida license plate to hide behind. <br />So glad you are doing better also. Hopefully we will both be 100% soon.<br /><br />LLCool Joe,<br />Ok, that I will have to try. Sounds like fun and can't hurt. <br /><br />Oregon gifts,<br />Thanks so much. <br />I do hope you are at least one up on him. Keep up the good work. <br /><br />marylee,<br />I know what you mean about the gun. Hope they got the hint. <br /><br />Sandy,<br />Of all those claiming to be super nice, I am sure they all have their tongues in their cheeks and a wink in their eye--except for you. I really don't think you have any mean bones.I admire you for that. <br /><br />OOLOH,<br />Well it may takes months to be totally comfortable in clothes but at least I can do it now with a little help from an OTC NSAID.<br />Wearing clothes certainly expands my social possibilities:))<br /><br />NC MOuntainwoman<br />You are so right, tummies and bladders can't tell time. Mine are giving me that abused look they are so good at. <br /><br />Wanda,<br />I can only assume that is a nice compliment. Since she raised you and how great you turned out, then that is how I am taking it. Thank you.<br /><br />Linda Starr,<br />Plantar fascitis was my problem also with some bone spurs.

I learned quickly that busting through the now crowded room to bring some 21-year olds beer was not a beneficial use of my time. I don't care how much they waved to get my attention I kept my eyes straight ahead and ignored them. They can push through the crowd to get to the bar.islandwonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727478242779134189noreply@blogger.com
