Two days later, and I am still sick in the bed with this cold

Yesterday I snuck out to get my paycheck(gotta do that), and put it in the bank. When I was at the bank counter my phone rang. I looked at the teller, smiled and told her I wasn't going to answer it. She looked at me, smiled back and said "thank you".. That kinda made my day.

In the last couple weeks I have been a proponent of "get off the darn phone". At the market I told the manager that they need to put a sign up on each cashier station saying you will not be waited on if you are on the phone!!

Some places I go to have those signs.

Also, I have been guilty of this phone crap too. After seeing others do it so much, I asked myself "am I that bad"?? The answer was, I was WORSE!!

That's why in my little way, I am doing something about it.

I don't talk in lines no more.

If I am talking to somebody, I don't answer the phone.

And if I do answer the phone out somewhere, I will make sure I move to a place where I am not annoying others.

Just my small contribution to this vastly snowballing problem..

There are exceptions, but as rule, men are better drivers than women. Sheesh, I be at the racetrack on my motorcycle, and they have these fine#$W women come ZOOMING by me, not just passing me, but zooming. The same thing can happen with cars. But, as a rule, men are better drivers than women. Just like women are better mothers than men...

Yup, I am single.

I wish I could post a resume of my last 3 girlfriends. Wow!!!! Yeah, they are gone, but the fun I had with them, priceless!!

Now, I am hoping I get lucky again, soon too, cause I am pass over the hill, I am on the downward curve..

I've never owned a cell phone. I've made it 30 years without one. I can't even stand my home telephone. It rings off the freakin' hook all damn day. I hate phones with a passion.

I hate to admit it but I'll problably buy my first cell phone this year to put in the truck in case of an emergency though. You know, in case I drive off a cliff or something of that nature and I need emergency assistance.

Case in point, before cell phones came out, women did most the yapping on the phones with the buddies than men. Just like men bang the beer, talk cars/trucks/motorcycle more than women.

It's going to get real crazy out there, real crazy.
Hmmm. . .I've been driving for 30ish years, guess how many accidents and/or tickets I've gotten??? No accidents-1 ticket many years ago. . .Now guess how many accidents and/or tickets my husband (been married 25 years) has gotten??? I lost count about 24 years ago. . .sorry, I think your information is flawed, better go back and check your stats.

And I hate talking on the phone, my long distance bill is usually less than $10 a month and most of my friends and family are long distance. See next post.

PS, it's already crazy out there
