LOWELL, Mass. –– A woman was arrested for allegedly beating up another supermarket customer who brought too many items into an express checkout line.
Well, it might be ok if I was flashed, but so far that hasn't happened. There's always that one car that just zips up the lane, past the line of patient people who planned ahead and merged. Then, when the lane is ending, they cheerfully turn on their blinker and expect one of us schlubs to let them in. A little skin is the least they could do!
</rant>
i always like the stories where traffic is moving single file in a snow storm. someone feels the need to zip by in the other lane. there's something of a comfort when a quarter mile up the road you see them spun out into the ditch :)
The practice freeway, 35E south of 94. Speed limit is only 45, but people blow through at 60+. I saw four people pulled over in that stretch one day. And a fifth trooper waiting in the wings for another sucker.
I usually do too, but runningchick always yells at me if she's along. She used to drive that stretch to work, and said she saw people pulled over all the time.
If you go that far, 394 west between Wayzata and County Road 15 West. Oh, and don't even TRY to get in the Sane Lane without a passenger -- they'll take your first-born child!
dal, while you were doing that, i noticed pf being very unresponsive (if you got multiple live messages from me saying the same thing its cuz i kept hitting send too :)
frosti, the first thing one needs is the desire to give up the caffeine addiction. i know i don't want to do it; mostly because every time i consciously try, i end up drinking more coke, not less; and it looks like dal doesn't want to either.
Thank you, JT. You think I'm a good boy. How special!
Of course you didn't break the law. I mean, you'd be in jail if you broke the law, right? Cuz that's how it works. Only guilty criminals go to jail and innocent law abiding people stay out of jail. That's why are streets are so safe. All the criminals are in jail. I learned that somewhere once.
isn't your insurance so high because she "drives it like she stole it" all the time?
Mormons? Where? .....
Oh I'm sorry, I thought you said Mormons not morons.
I believe it's my calling in life!
well then i'm faced with this dilemma. is it a good thing that i haven't been called a moron yet, or do i just need to work harder :)

Real Life is better then Making this Up!
i usually make some sort of attempt to merge before the merge point.
A little smile and wave never hurts. (I suppose flashing wouldn't either, but I've never had to resort to that!)
of course i'm also the sort of person who gets in whatever lane i intend to be in for where i'm exiting and staying there.
but I've never had to resort to that!
so that wasn't you the other day then :)
and incidentally, you've got mail.
And where's my email? :)
well the last time i checked it was behind your avatar. but it doesn't look like its there anymore :)
I usually drive as far as I can in the eliminated lane and look over for someone like Ares to let me in. :)
Ooooh, I hatethat! You're evil!
frosti, its ok as long as she, um, flashes her blinker when she merges in :)

Well, rest assured that person is never me! I'm great-grandma driver in the snow, which I understand is almost equally as evil.
almost, but not quite.
I'm great-grandma driver in the snow, which I understand is almost equally as evil.
Only if you're in the left lane.
she only said she was a great-grandma driver in the snow, not under "normal" conditions.
and since we're talking about the left lane. where's everyone's favorite place to make sure you're driving the speed limit cuz its a trooper magnet?
the top of my list:
eastbound 394 at 100
north 35w at county e2
westbound 94 along the river at dowling.
The practice freeway, 35E south of 94. Speed limit is only 45, but people blow through at 60+. I saw four people pulled over in that stretch one day. And a fifth trooper waiting in the wings for another sucker.
when did they start enforcing the limit on the parkway? hell i usually blow through there over 60.

Easy there Dal. Too much coffee this morning?
I don't know about you folks, but I always pull ahead and deny such... requests.
LMAO sure thing
Hello dudes and dudettes..
Easy there Dal. Too much coffee this morning?
LMAO, Frosti! I just saw that!
OMG!!! I've never had double (quadruple, here) posts before!! How'd that happen? I did not hit refresh!
I did not hit refresh!
Sure you didn't. Maybe you inadvertently pressed it in your rush to get back to work?
dal, while you were doing that, i noticed pf being very unresponsive (if you got multiple live messages from me saying the same thing its cuz i kept hitting send too :)
Maybe you inadvertently pressed it in your rush to get back to work?
Maybe I hit it with my 44-oz mug o' joe.
44 oz? I hate to tell you this, but you have a problem. Find a 12 step program girl. I'm down to two cups of half-caf per day. You can do it.
Find a 12 step program girl.
I have one:
Step 1: make 12 cups of coffee at home in morning
Step 2: drink 8 cups at home
Step 3: put remaining 4 cups in travel mug
Step 4: drink in car on way to work
Step 5: make pot of coffee at work
Step 6: drink 2 cups, share the rest with coworkers
Step 7: go buy quadruple latte at coffeeshop because coworkers drank all the cofee
Step 8: drink quadruple latte
Step 9: go back to coffeeshop for iced latte because I'm now sweating (office is overheated)
Step 10: drink iced latte
Step 11: Snack on chocolate covered espresso beans during afternoon while ...
Step 12: drinking 2nd office pot of coffee
zinga zinga zinga zinga!!!
so is that a joe joe, or a java joe?
frosti, the first thing one needs is the desire to give up the caffeine addiction. i know i don't want to do it; mostly because every time i consciously try, i end up drinking more coke, not less; and it looks like dal doesn't want to either.
dal, keep up the good work :)
actually, you could probably sell that thing!

nope, I'm not gonna say it.
"and since we're talking about the left lane. where's everyone's favorite place to make sure you're driving the speed limit cuz its a trooper magnet?"
494 West around the 35E area.
Right Jethro?
so i take it then that scribe's not a good girl, thx?
She's a much better person than I.
isn't your insurance so high because she "drives it like she stole it" all the time?
I never speed, cuz speeding is against the law and good boys never break the law.
Right Jethro?
Thank you, JT. You think I'm a good boy. How special!
