Scales

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Welcome back!

Now, what am I talking about?

I have heard that the English language is very confusing to many people from non-English speaking countries. This is a word that can help you understand where they are coming from.

I could be talking about the scales that you see on fish. (I don’t like to fish, so don’t see many fish scales up close.) You could also be talking about scales that weigh a product, or a person. I have also seen scales that can weigh vehicles. My sister was a truck driver and talked about those lots of times. They were NOT popular with the truckers.

Then there are the scales that might be over someone’s eyes when they really do not pay attention to what is going on around them.

So which scales do you have? :)

Busy time coming

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Just recently I have gone through some very busy times.

Well, it looks as if that is going to happen again. I have a whole week that is filled with a lot of driving, and doctor visits.

That’s life.

It’s needed

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

In the state of Texas, it is necessary for a driver to have car insurance on the vehicle that they drive.

There are a lot of different insurance companies that you can go to for your insurance. There is also no-fault insurance, but I am not sure how that works. Too many different drivers do not care about whether or not they have insurance when they drive, and when they do make a serious mistake there is no insurance to help remedy what happened.

Did I mention…

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Did I mention that we had been going to a lot of places? Of course I did. What else have we been doing lately.

Driving, eating, griping, driving, avoiding the other people on the road. Maybe I should look at some diet pill reviews for my car. That way I should be able to avoid the crazies that are out on the road. I couldn’t believe the things that the other drivers were doing. At least the professional drivers - you know, the ones in the big semis that people like to complain about - seemed to want to drive with their attention on the road and not on what they were drinking, or reading, or hearing on their phone.

Sometimes I wonder why they put up with the other drivers.

Hungry again

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Did I mention that we had been traveling a lot lately?

One thing that I haven’t figured out how to control is my appetite. Driving does seem to create an appetite in me. A good appetite suppressant would help.

This day we munched on chicken strips, pimento cheese sandwich, ham sanwish, potato wedges. That was nice and tasty. Got home, slept (we were rather tired after all), now got up and want something to eat. What else is new? :)

Around and around

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Do you walk to lose weight? I can’t but that is another story.

I always wondered what a person did if they lived in a dangerous neighborhood. Well, one thing that can be done is to use treadmills to walk on.

I know that the pathway on the treadmill will go around and around, but at least you do not have to worry about getting mugged. Another thing that you don’t have to worry aobut is getting run over by one of the dufuses that are on the road these days who do not pay attention to those around them or to road conditions.

Can you tell that I am really bothered by some of the other drivers on the road? YUP.

While I mention it…

While I am mentioning traveling….

Do you realize that there are a lot of crazy people in cars out on the highway? If you can safely look at the car next to you, check out what the driver is doing.

Once I saw someone putting on mascara using the mirror while ‘driving’. Hello, what about watching the road or where you are going? Or maybe that is just something extra and ‘not’ necessary?

Give me a break (hopefully not a bone that is). Talking on the cell phone is another pet peeve of mine. How is that phone call more important that your life or mine for that matter?

Do I sound like I am griping? Of course I am. I always thought that when you were driving, you weren’t supposed to do anything else. How about driving and talking to the other person in the car. Of yeah, you are looking at the other person and not at the road.

If these cars were guided by an ‘intelligent computer and the driver was not necessary, I could see doing all of these things. That is not the case. I do not know about you, but I am not ready to die for someone being a dufus instead of being the driver.

To me that is another taste of someone abusing the power that they have.
