Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

[...]Occationally that happens to me, on certain nights, I actually able to sleep ok, & other nights I can't!!. WTF!!.

I have a friend who is worse. she could never get a good nights sleep ever!!.[...]

It sounds like your friend has a sleep disorder. Has she been diagnosed in a sleep lab? I ask out of experience and recommend that anyone with ongoing sleep issues ask (or beg!) their docs to send them to a sleep specialist. I have a sleep disorder diagnosed after complaining to my doc for at least 8 years that I wish I could get just one night's worth of great sleep. Turned out I never got below stage 2 sleep and averaged 17 wake-ups an HOUR! The majority of those I wasn't aware of, of course, but it sure proved to me that I wasn't imagining a problem! It was real.

Be happy that your sleepless nights are only occasional. That happens to everyone for a variety of reasons.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

I am soooo tired!!.

my eyes hurt, Soo sleepy!!. so I go to bed, to close my eyes, & nothing
happens, to top that off, my hips & lower back hurts, too =( .

So, I took an advil to help with the pain, & hopefully my sleepiness, & tiredness will follow suit!!.

Gawd!!.

I hate being in that state of mind where I am soo tired but can't even sleep !!.

Does this happen to you?? if so what do you do about that??

Best to remember that when offering it to other drivers, too.

what i offer to drivers who break the law and endanger others is a correction by concerned civilian in the absence of police.

Sorry to hear about your tummy. Hope you're feeling better already.

it is better, thank you--eric and i shared both a chicken cutlet, gravy all over & a chili dog plate from rainbow drive inn. more food than we could finish, but hooooo dat was ono! *burp*

There's a part of me that wants to suggest "majority rules" in this situation...but I don't think I will (perhaps due to self-preservation of another part of me. )

Ha ha - yeah, that's what I say

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

I guess we just put it on different levels of importance. I see a difference between "standing up for what's right" and imposing my judgement on the behavior of others. In the case you described, yes, the other driver was quite reckless - but you've also described situations where you reacted towards someone who simply blocked an intersection - stupid behavior on their part, to be sure, but if that's what you view as "standing up for what's right," my hope is that you choose someday to refocus your energies on other issues.

Like the ones that you said really raise your ire - those are all issues where you can look to your side (to the left, of course), and you will see me marching along with you. And all the cars will have to stop for us!

(And the "wink" was at the cleverness of your question in the previous post; I smiled when I read it. Let's keep my responses in context, please.)

leo, you know what they say about unsolicited advice, and you also know what they say about the vagueness of non-verbal cues. i will leave it at that.

my pet peeve today is mysterious funny tummy. it's not quite the flu (thank god) but it's annoying enough.

hey, people who make the deliberate decision to stand up for what's right have to be able to accept the possible consequences.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

Perhaps I should phrase it more directly. In today's world, yelling at someone in traffic, or leaning hard on your horn, or blowing an airhorn at them for what you judge as bad behavior on their part can get you killed.

Will it have been worth it then?

hey, people who make the deliberate decision to stand up for what's right have to be able to accept the possible consequences. this is my conviction, and you can wink at it all you want--just don't wink so hard when you're driving. you might cause an accident.

side note-i should correct a previous statement i made about there being only two things in this world that tick me off to this level. there are two things, and in a way, they're related: domestic violence, and the slow but definite trend towards reducing women's reproductive rights.

Re: Pet Peeve of the Day

i wish more people would speak up and correct others ... that most of us allow such bad driving to become the norm by being silent and saying it's not worth having a stroke over just bites the big one. keep on this way, and more and more drivers will make left turns from lanes that aren't meant for left turns, will run red lights, go down the wrong way on one way streets, and talk on their cell phones, pick their nose, and smoke a cig all whilst driving.

the question is, leo--and you keep your answer to yourself--are you the kind of driver who would tick me off?
