I have been a member of the Ledge for afew years now, and before was a longtime lurker. For sometime now i go into the chit chat forum, and click refresh but NOTHING is bieng said. ONLY ONE THREAD seems to be continuing. PEOPLE THERE ARE ALOT OF REALLY COOL AND INTERESTING PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD, who post stories of their childeren, pets, careers, vacations, schools, ect. this forum used to be a buzz with stories, and photos, and jokes and opinions, now its just hillary, or obama. hillary or obama, blah blah, hillary, blah, blah, obama.

Well, I guess everyone has jumped ship to the other forum.

Well it is an election year with a heated and protracted battle for the Democratic nomination so it could be reasonably expected that people are going to want to discuss it..you must have just missed out on the times when there were numerous threads like that on here and we had commentary from some of the most interesting and entertaining ledgies ever to post here ..Carne ,Diss anyone? I would suggest just to ignore the Hillary/Obama thread if it is that distressing that you must post interminably in an attempt to bury it..there are still plenty of threads about my pet cat and whether or not you prefer coffee or tea IMHO.

OK, I'll add the monstrosity that happened to me on Mothers day. The day prior I was at a concert. Don't ask who, what or where cause I got too completely plowed to know. It was horrible, embarassing and scary. And I can't believe it happened.
The next day....STILL trying to recover (it took a combined 48 hours thereafter to not feel a floaty, booze buzzing thru my system notion) I take my dog down the street (not wanting to drive far literally...) to the dog park. Fresh air would do us both good.
On the way back, being as I am on a frontage road, I let doggie onto my lap. She always knows where we are at, and wants on my lap. She'd be a good girl and stay off if I told her no, but cause it's like 35 mph down this road, I let her. We take a curve, she stands into it, and falls out the window!

I about die. Slam on the breaks, there AMAZINGLY are no cars behind me, coming the opposite direction, nodda. Where she landed to where I stopped was no more than 4 feet, she came over to me, favoring one leg. I just wanted to die. I still can't get the image out of my head. She didn't have a mark on her, and later that night was all playful and her typical self. It wasn't until yesterday I had her back in the car again, and so help me god, even if we are parked, she won't be allowed on my lap!
It was all a fluke. No sooner did I feel her lean into that curve and beging to slide, it happened. She wasn't trying to jump, she saw nothing, it wasn't like that. Cause I was breaking into the curve, I think is what made it so not life threatening. No matter what though, I feel so aweful. 2 days I'll beat myself up for likely forever. The 1st night of wtf antics at my age...HOW DID THAT HAPPEN!?!?!?!? And then day 2
