I understand completely. I've gotten so much shiz from my family about it too...that and marriage/kids. LOL My grandmother doesn't drive either. Yes, she's in her late 70's, but my OTHER grandmother does drive and is fine. The thing is, is that my mother's mom drove into a telephone pole back in the day, and never drove again. LOL It's in my genes, I think. Heh.

That's only one reason I'd love to live in London....take the friggin' subway/tube/underground or walk (yay, I lost so much weight that wya. LOL).

I doubt there are many schools left that include behind the wheel training in Driver's Ed. Schools can't afford it. Here in California, you take Driver's Ed, which involves a textbook, lectures, videos, etc, then you go to the DMV, take a written test, get a learner's permit, enroll in Driver's Training (which is the only way to validate the learner's permit if you're under 18. If you're a legal adult you don't have to take Driver's Training.), practice, and go back and take the actual driving test.

I never get past the acquiring of the learner's permit. (I have no problem passing the written test... but once I get the permit I never seem to practice)

Whoa! Drivers training? When I got mine, days after my 16th, I was just supposed to learn while I had my permit. Took the class in school, like you said.
That sucks.

I am supremely annoyed at the traffic I have encountered in Los Angeles this week. It took me over two hours to get home from work last night.

On the flip side, my ass isn't coming in until 11 tomorrow. Then I am doing paperwork, eating lunch, and leaving at 2.

So happy to be single, since everyone has mentioned this subject. Two guys I know want to "date" me, and I am not that into it. Hard to say that in a nice way to them. They're nice guys, but I don't need it. I am extremely content being by myself. Two weekends ago I didn't talk to a soul for 48 hours straight. Heaven. Did yardwork, hungout by the pool, and played with the birds. It was bliss.

Makes up for the traffic.

Oh, and I need more sleep.

Hmmm... Maybe it differs from county to county?

'Cause here you can get your learner's permit at 15 1/2, but it's not valid until you enroll in Driver's Training. Then you practice for six months and take the test.

Maybe. Or maybe they changed the rules since the dinosaur age when I was 15.
Oh, and all you people who say you are so happy to be alone - crap off!!!

I wished I wasnt sick every frikkin' day, Now I am starting to develop nausea with the headaches...Hell, I am nauseated and dizzy at this exact moment as I type this up.

I also worry that I may find out I am physically sicker than I believe I am when I have the MRI performed very soon...Lost over 20 lbs since the day my Mother passed away (Every once in awhile I go read that thread on here, And it seems so distant a time ago, But it was only 3 months ago ), Still stressed out from awaiting the autopsy results so we can proceed with a negligent death lawsuit.

Otherwise, I trade music as usual to keep my mind (When not in pain) off of this sick thing known as my life...Thank God I have a family to vent to, I may be the youngest child at 35, But I feel much, much older mentally.

Yeah--stay away from the crazy women with the unmanageable baggage! I understand your hesitance. But at the same time I know that you're young, beautiful, and an all-around great person so I know you'll find a great guy or girl.

Me too. And I'm thinking it's too bad I don't swing that way at all because Deanna is so cool and I am having the same problems with men around here. What am I some kind of magnet for men who can't treat a woman right? Yes. So I am happily single as well. I'd really rather be on my own.

The last man I was with did a number on my self-esteem and I feel so much better now but I'm beginning to get that itch. I miss the companionship. But not the drama. Not the drama at all. Like Mary J says, no more drama in my life.

Yeah... 'cause you're sssooo much older than me.

As for the issue of being single...

Sometimes I'm happy about it. Sometimes its depressing. I've never been in a real relationship (and am still a virgin ). (I know you and I have had this conv. before, Amber, but I'm gonna vent anyway) All I seem to attract are really nasty perverted men (like the one who wanted to breastfeed me) and butch lesbians (sorry, but if I'm gonna go for a lady she'd better look like a lady). All I ever fall for are men that are either married or otherwise taken, and women that are as straight as a ruler. That's depressing. Really, really depressing.

On the other hand, I don't have to report to anyone. I don't have anyone trying to dictate who I can see and where I can go and I don't have the worry of wondering who anyone is with and what anyone is doing. Plus I'm the kind of person who likes to have a lot of alone time.

I check my emails every day (sometimes multiple times a day) and if a friend of mine leaves a message, I ALWAYS CALL BACK!

That is one of my biggest pet peeves, too!

Hon, I wish you weren't sick too. I hope that they find what is wrong. I'm so sorry about all you've been through. I really feel like there are good things around the corner for you though. Just hold on through the bumpy stuff right now and I think when you get through this rough patch you are going to have a very nice and happy time in your life. And you will feel younger then than you do now. I don't know why I see this for you but I do. I hope it is true. You and Deb really deserve some good stuff. I truly believe in karma. Yeah, that's why, you've got some good stuff coming because what goes around truly does come around. You put out so much good energy into the world, it is going to come back to you.

Here ya go: I had my first boyfriend in kindergarden. We "dated" off and on until I was about 18. By that time, he had his head in his ass... dealing drugs and stealing cars/radios out of cars, etc. Anyway, I was his first love. The last time I saw him, we were 18, and he had enlisted himself in the Marines to get himself out of trouble. So, he came over and we talked for a long time, yadda, yadda, yadda, and he asked me to marry him. I told him no, and I haven't heard from him since. Last Friday comes along, and he stops over at my parents house wondering how he could get in touch with me. He gave my dad his business card and asks for me to give him a call. I was estatic to hear he came around after 10 years, and I was curious to see how he turned out. We talked the next day for 2 hours, and he goes on about how he never wants to go that long without talking to me, and he would like to keep in touch as often as possible, and he was sorry he wasen't there for me when Jason died.... oh, by the way, I've been married for 4 years now! WTF??? Why are you looking for your first love, then? Would'nt your wife be pissed if she found out you were looking for me? Have you even told your wife your calling me? I mean, it could be totally innocent, and he was just checking up on me, come over to a BBQ, meet my wife.. but why say all the things you just said to me?? And, he has told me zilch about his wife. I tried to ask. He would'nt talk about her. Is it just me, or does he have an "itch"?

I second that. It's been over 2 years since Jason died. I'm ready to try again. 6 year olds just dont care how ****ty your day was at work. They don't take the garbage out either!

Why is it that ****ty things always happen to the nicest people?

Keepin' you in my thoughts. Hang in there.
