I got mine the day I turned 16!

Yeesh!

Talked to daughter about driver's license. She failed the written test. She needs to re-take it. The teacher was supposed to re-test her but didn't. A good Mom would call the school and complain. Sigh.....

Afternoon all!

Staples came out today. Surgeons are officially done with me. Started nursing the baby again last night. First session went well, second not so much. Still working on it. He'll get it. We really confused the baby and gave him a bottle with breastmilk at the doctor's appointment (can't nurse and have staples pulled), completely shook up his little world.

I got my driver's license just before Christmas when I was 15 so

Where I grew up you couldn't even get to the high school without a car, everyone drove!

Happy 16th birthday joyner's daughter!

Stoopid Olympics are interrupting my programs!!!

I got my motorcycle license @ 16 but didn't get my auto until I was 20. I didn't have enough money for a car just a motorcycle. Dad wouldn't let me drive his car (wisely so). I drove my bike 12 months a year in freakin' Canada.

Don't worry Gman, Oprah will be back after the Olympics

Hypothetical Woman, stay away from me
Hypothetical Woman, mama let me be
Don't come a hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now Woman, I said stay away
Hypothetical Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

Sleeping? Eating?
Starting to do stuff with the baby?
Those antibiotics are tough to take and you took them longer than most people would have to.
You would have thought the doctors and hospital would have warned you so you would know what to expect.
Then again, most doctors refuse to believe their drug is the problem with anything.

what did the doctors neglect to warn her about?

dontwantaname wrote:Silly boy.
Yes you will.

But think about learning to drive!

It is just too weird that you don't know how.

perhaps i missed something. i thought he said only that he didn't have a driver's license. possibly he may know how to drive anyway.

dontwantaname wrote:You are a pia.

Most of the reason she was feeling so awful was side effects of the antibiotics.
I'm sure if she knew that, it would have made it easier, knowing there would be a end.

I agree with No1 for a change, do you know if she was told this or knew of this?

Evening everybody

In regards to learning to drive...

My Granny wanted to learn to drive when my mom and her sisters were toddlers. Grandpa kept putting it/her off.

So... While he was at work one day, she hitched up the donkey to the cart and drove it to town, parked it in front of his office and went in with her girls to visit him. Would have been in the late 40's, early 50's I believe.

He taught her to drive very soon after that incident.

I believe FB post said that she looked through the anti-biotic side-effects that night before she was done with them, and discovered that several of her problems were actually side effects.

There were still horse drawn carts when I was very young. I remember the vegetable guy coming with a horse.

I bet she was a great driver too. The women who did drive back then really wanted to. I had a great aunt who wanted to be a truck driver.
we are talking about someone who would be 100 today, so there was no chance. But she drove all the relatives into the city if they had to go someplace the subway didn't go. Traffic didn't scare her at all.

I remember our milk being delivered by a horse-drawn wagon. I actually thought I was imagining it, but mentioned it to my sister one time when I was in PA and she showed me an article my nephew had from a report he had to write on our town and it said when the milk wagon stopped operating and it was while I was old enough to remember.

(The above is an example of a run-on sentence.)

You know, woot is getting as bad as my family. Nobody believes I know what I'm talking about.

You were right...this time.

actually - my 4 foot Granny was a MANIAC behind the wheel.

My early childhood memories of her driving include hitting every pothole in the road, her sweater sash flapping in the wind because she shut it in the door EVERY time she got in the car, and repairing the landscaping as best we could when she had backed over something (to hide it from my Grandfather)

We usually got the landscaping to look okay, but often forgot to remove the evidence from the bumper, so she generally got caught anyway.

She was absolutely AWESOME!!!!

I prefer the term "most excellent writing style."

It could have used some more commas though. I like commas.

//backs out of the reach of Poof's arm

It could have used more periods and a rewrite.

Is anyone else watching men's figure skating?

The guy on right now is flailing his arms around so much it gives me a headache.

Somehow I stopped practicing the religion, except for lent. I always followed the rules for lent.
Don't know if I will tomorrow.
See what happens in the morning.

Oh gristle, I have pork chops for tomorrow.
Going to have to buy something else for dinner.

Heck there are only two fast days in the year. Maybe I'll do it.

Soup and grilled cheese tomorrow.

Good evening again!

Oh you must be referring to the guy who wore all black. For all his arm movements he sure was moving very slow across the ice. Have never seen someone skate that way and he's Austria's 5 time champion, hmm.

Evening wooters, sort of a drive by since I'll be watching the Olympics that I taped.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Yes!

I thought he might be having some kind of fit on the ice. And it was so slow it made the arm waving worse.
