DON'T GET ME STARTED . . . or things I just don't get

Well it's here - no talking or testing on your cell phone while driving in your car. Now I don't have a problem with this latest rule that has been thrust upon us. Your safety as well as others is no laughing matter. My problem is the guy eating a full meal deal (burger, fries & drink), shaving, brushing teeth, eating dinner, plate and silver fork included, and the 210 oz Bubba mug, that when tipped back to take a gulp is like putting a lazy boy chair in front of you and by the way, nobody needs a mug that big, mascara and lipstick being applied, stereos that have video screens and iPods. These are all things that I have seen first hand. Now I am not disagreeing with the texting issue but a quick phone call probably is no more dangerous than the other distractions happening in cars. In fact, it may cause more dangers with people trying to pull in or get out of the general traffic to get to their phones. Man, I got to get me some of those pants that I can pull up to my chest, a nice pair of white shoes and a hat. Until next time, stay safe.


Ok I get the handicapped parking at malls. No problem there. I kind of get the priority parking for parents with small children. But give a break, priority parking for customers with hybrid cars? What's next, spots for red headed step children who are left handed. Because you can afford an overpriced car means you get a better parking spot? Hey, maybe they don't recycle at home or leave the tap on when they brush their teeth. We should ask questions before they get their spot. I myself enjoy the walk. It give me more time to complain about the parking lot.


Yah, I know that you bike riders still have to get around in the winter time and that it's great exercise, but come on. the roads are icy and rut filled and it's almost impossible to ride close to the curb. The chances of your bike slipping out from under you and under me are 100 fold, not to mention the traffic you slow up. Be safe and warm and spend $2.25 on the bus instead of roasting my chestnuts.

What's up at the gas pumps. The price says one thing, but if you go on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, it's 7 cents off. If I use my points card, it's 7 cents off. If I shop at a certain store, I get 7 cents off. Just put what it's worth on the sign and sell it to me at that price cause, guess what, that is the price. Hey, I can whittle at a Grade 3 level, so you're not fooling me into thinking that I am getting a deal.


Just thinking.

What's up with the Baby on Board sign? Yea, that's right, without it would I drive right over your car?

The hidden tack on a CD. If you want me to hear it just give it to me. Call it track 11 or 12 but don't hide it.  Most times I've taken the CD out and have left the room before it plays. And another thing, it's really annoying to load on your iPod. Like I want five minutes of dead air.

People that drive with pets on their laps. Why don't you just put a bag over your head?  As if driving a car isn't tough enough you need Fido on your lap licking his nuts. Give me a break and leave Fluffy at home.

If you want a handout from me, just ask, but don't have the sign that says, "I'd rather beg than steal". If you're going to steal, keep away from my wallet . And if you really need the dough at least be friendly and creative.

If the base is too loud in my car when you're at the stop light beside me, it's too fricking loud in your car. Enjoy your tunes but I want to hear the fire truck coming.

As always your thoughts and comments are welcome. Thanks for checkin us out and loving music the way we do.
