I'm reminded of a joke.
About a man on his deathbed, who's favorite food is chocolate chip cookies, and he can smell the scent of cookies wafting to his bed and he thinks "Oh, my wife is doing one last thing for me. She's such a good woman" and with the last of his waning strength manages to crawl on his hands and knees out of bed and into the dining room where the cookies are cooling and with his last ounce of strength reaches up to the table and just stretches for a bite of cookie, then...
WHAP!! She smacks his hand and says dryly "Those are for after the funeral, dear..."
I think if I had died last month, they would be the first ones to say something stout to make them look like honorable people, but because I'm a woman and still alive they are disappointed...
"Quit whining, yer still breathing." Unfortunately, so are they.
Mexican standoff then?

Where in heck did you get that joke? It was great!

I think it's a Dear Abbey from way back? I remember we had a newspaper clipping of it on the fridge when we got married...

I also have a Ziggy (looking up at stars) on the fridge now that says:
Wish I may, wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight.
The next frame has a bird swoop in and say "I don't think it's going to work... *GULP*..."
"You just wished on a FIREFLY!"
Painfully ironic...

That's a good-un.

“People who are driving faster sometimes get upset at people who are impeding them, causing them to make evasive maneuvers to get around the slower vehicles and sometimes lose control and crash
Ohh, look at that. Isn't THIS an ironic article for today??
Driving too slow
Driving too fast
Soon they'll give you tickets for sitting on your ass
And half of you will say nothing about it...

I'll never get a ticket for driving too slow until I'm over 100. And by then, I fully expect all cars to be capable of driving themselves.

Do you really think I know - or care - how you look?
Sloppy, sloppy thinking and posting. You took the first not really applicable thing that came into what you have for a mind, and decided it fit. And posted it because you couldn't see what might be wrong with it, and besides, you have no shame about being really stupid. If you did you'd be embarrassed about having your idiocies proven to you on so many instances. But nope. Not you.
No wonder you can't think your way out of your delusions, and keep posting them - and getting caught looking stooopid. Again and again.

Quote:Actually, I got that from my hubby. He told me to stop backing into other cars.
WTF?? Does my car have a "HIT ME" sign on it??? -SIGNY
I'm sorry, the prescribed RWED allowed response here goes something like :
If YOU were watching the road better, more aware of other drivers, didn't have a radio on, had given a BJ to a traffic cop the night before, had committed to driving the long way home even if it means an extra three hours, been using a microscope to make sure you keep five miles UNDER the speed limit like a good little citizen, worn a day glo suit, covered your car in the American flag so that it was more visible, held your tongue just a certain way.................
Quote:Actually, yes, shit happens. No, it doesn't piss me off ... my 15-year-old car is still driveable altho looking somewhat the worse for wear. It puzzles me.
See whut I mean? SHIT HAPPENS. And it pisses you off.
HOWEVER ....
Quote:Getting pulled over that many times is one thing - but how many times has he gotten a ticket? If he's consistently getting tickets, The he's doing something wrong. I've gotten tickets and I've learned not to do the same things again, even tho I thought a few were unfair. So if your hubby is constantly getting ticketed, then he'd better change his driving habits.
Every time he goes driving at night around here they pull him over. It's that he's 6 foot..... three hundred pound.... shaved big dude. They single him out as a threat EVERY time. This one was for doing ten miles over, like everyone else was doing.
He's been pulled over at least forty times in the last eight years. Gotten so paranoid he has a gun in the car with him at all times.

As for leaving here...
It's because I'm TRAPPED, I haven't had a vacation in a DECADE
Me neither
Quote:I think people get frustrated because they can't decide if you're a rebel ... in which case you're kind of bringing the consequences down on yourselves ... or if you're victim.
I'd love to see most of the people I know LOBOTOMIZED (well, more so) and EVERY FUCKING DAY OF MY LIFE BRINGS IT'S OWN SPECIAL HELL.
But, I'm talking to people here. I know I'm supposed to be a "trooper" and "grin and bear it" so others don't get offended. FUCK THAT. I'm not gonna pretend to be mindlessly happy just cuz some people on the 'net want me to be.
I think you're a victim of biology. But then other stuff happens that maybe you (or your hubby) might be able to avoid.

so tell me, because sometimes I think I miss some of the meanings in the way you guys speak, does not having a vacation mean you haven't had a break from work, or you haven't gone away from your house?
