Red, for safety, though silver is also acceptable (don't want to be too picky ) That cranberry is good -- DW liked a taste of it (she's a non-smoker, non-vaper, but does like the flavors -- I need to mix up some zero nic vanilla and banana creme for her, for while we're driving places)

 

[whiskey]

Quiver???Quiver...OMG

 

[gingersnaps]

lmao. I can't stand them either especially the ones driving. I have almost been hit numerous times bc of them. however I do fight with hubby via text sometimes. I get so mad at him sometimes and it keeps choice words from being said in front of the kids

 

[Vermonster13]

Here you go.

Sweet -- not so practical for CNY Winter, but good for Summer -- think I can strap my scuba gear on the roof of it?

 

[Vermonster13]

[Vermonster13]

Off to get my boy. Play nice all.

The Law of Conservation of Mass: Matter cannot be created nor destroyed however it can rearranged. That's why whenever you loose weight someone you know gains it and vice versa. (nods head) I swear by it. I can always tell when my BFF has lost weight. I've threatened to poof her for someone willing to take on my mass instead of the other way around.

 

[keyzygirl]

WTH is that?Is it a dead fox hanging up on your wall?GROSS!!

 

[Satharra]

Off to get my boy. Play nice all.

I never play nice. If God had intended for me to play nice, he wouldn't have invented particular vulnerable areas on people like groins, knees, ankles, etc.

So, since Keyzy is admitting that she called her son from the couch, I'll admit my own little issue.

I hate texting and I mean hate texting. I see people doing this during meetings, classes, while walking, biking, etc. It drives me absolutely insane. I'm on a university campus 3-5 times a week and I have had to move out of the way of students who are so caught up in texting or reading a text to avoid a collision. Well, last week I had an epiphany. Why do I have to move because they're texting and not paying attention to where they're going? It's not like texting is some sort of disabling condition that deserves a respectful move to the side to allow free passage.

So, I've decided that I am no longer moving out of the way for texters. I'm going to drop my shoulder and take the collision. God help the person that chastises me for walking along a path and running into them when they weren't watching where they were going.

I hate texting too. I can't begin to describe my hatred of it. I have even fired employees over it.
When someone is texting and about to walk into me I yell HEY as loud as I can and scare the s**t outta them. (true not kidding)

Sallana - that is horrible. I have had 2 kids and never once did we forget either even for 5 minutes. You leave you child in a car and it dies I think you should go up on Murder 1 charges - there is absolutely no excuse. Life imprisonment.

Or better yet, drive the offender to the middle mohave desert in the summer and drop them off. If they can make it out - fine. If not, oh well.

Looking forward to that Coffee X tomorrow, though I may test it when I get home

 

[whiskey]

Or nice big rumps to take a chunk outta

 

[gingersnaps]

I completely agree. sure you might forget for a moment but any good parent will have that somethings not right feeling and realize their kid is in the car. to me it is just plain laziness and those people don't deserve to be parents. everytime I see one of those stories I just want to stone them. the whole carsets used to be up front exuse is bs.

I do not care if my opinion is about to anger someone. I need to get this off my chest and vent it out before either I explode or drive my husband crazy.

I've been reading a few articles the past half hour about an uprising in what they are now calling, "Forgotten Baby Syndrome". It's just what it sounds. Parents forget their child in the car, and they die of hyperthermia. The excuse that has been given, is that in the 1990's child seats were usually placed in the front passenger seat. But entering the 21st century, car safety experts declared that the Air Bag was too dangerous for children and that they should be moved to the back seat. Furthermore, it was safest for them to be facing the rear. So now the children are in the back seat, facing opposite you as you are driving.

This should NEVER become any sort of issue. But it has. Because apparently, out of site out of mind? You would be shocked to learn how many parents simply forget that their child is in the back seat. This is atrocious, disgusting, and 90% of these articles are on the DEFENSIVE side for the parents!

THERE IS NO EXCUSE. NEVER EVER WILL THERE BE AN EXCUSE. You forget you left your child in the car for so long that he/she actually DIES of heat stroke!? No. There is no excuse. You are a bad person and a bad parent, and it's damn right you should feel that way. One article speaks of a man who left his toddler son in the heat of the parking lot, strapped into his car seat for nine hours.

I can almost forgive 20 minutes. Maybe even an hour. But nine hours!?!?! You would remember, at some point during the day, surely. If you are any sort of parent at all.. But yet:


Have we lost so much hope for our society that we are just accepting this as something that is just going to happen? Oh well? Are you KIDDING ME!?!?!

I cannot comprehend this. I have had my days, where I get busy, sidetracked, overwhelmed. But I have NEVER just forgotten about my Son. EVER. And I am very absent minded.

One journalist suggested leaving your cell phone in the back seat with your baby. So you didn't forget your baby.

It's 30mg so don't vape that stuff right before you go to bed.

 

[loxmythe]

OMG Sallana! how dumb are people?! Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

too bad sex ed doesn't include IQ testing.

 

[markfm]

Nope, 30 would be right after I get home, finishing putting up a canopy on a bay window.
