I'll never understand... - Page 9

I was taught the 2 second rule - two seconds behind the car in front of you.

But I took driver's ed in 1980.

I don't understand why other drivers don't understand that your car slows down if you just take your foot off the gas pedal! When I'm in slow traffic, I like to count how many times the driver in front of me hits his brakes before I even hit mine even once because all I'm doing is backing off the gas.

I was taught the 2 second rule too. And yes, sadly drivers ed has been scaled waaaaaay back (before Arnie was in office). Now it's mostly in-class reading and movies and a day (maybe 2 if you're lucky) on the road with the teacher. Most of the people driving like morons around here are not teens, but people in their 30s.

I think Arnold just expects us all to drive Hummers

Now, I hope he's not expecting Hummers from us...

I'll never understand why I never seem to have anything to eat after I go to the grocery store.

Aint' it the truth, ain't it the truth!

I've been twice since Friday...and I've been in the kitchen several times today...searching for something to eat!

I never understand why I have to beg Bailey to get in the shower...then once he gets in...I have to BEG him to get OUT!

Something tells me I don't want to know what he's doing in there...

I'm not feeling to hot and I really want some crackers and sorbet (not together) but I don't want to go back to the store. I think I shall call my friend and see if he'll bring it over for me.

On this same topic...I'll never understand how I can go to the store and get my list of things...get home and realize I forgot something...and it's usually something important...tonight we were having enchiladas and I had forgotten to get tortillas...so back to the store I went...

DOH! I hate when I do that! Today my list disapperaed in my cart... I consider myself lucky that the only thing I forgot was bacon and the extra stuff I bought was produce.

Sigh. Friend won't bring me crackers and sorbet. Meanie. Never mind that he's in Orange and lives in Irvine and I live in Laguna Niguel.

hehe.
