Exactly...which is why I can't let DS bike alone. He just CAN'T interpret what other people are doing. He can see the person, but in his mind, he has the right of way, so that person will stop, because those are the rules. It's not that he's ignoring other people, but he can't tell what those signals mean....that a person not slowing down means they might not stop. He doesn't make the connections. So I have to be his eyes and ears and tell him what to do.
Today is day 3!!!
Yay!! A shame we are 2 weeks apart. We arrive on the 17th and will leave the 25th. Question, for anyone who knows. Our AP's expire on the 25th. Haven't decided if we will renew them. Hospital bills to think about even with our good insurance. We can still use them on the 25th correct?
I know! It would have been fun getting together! Have no idea about the APs but I would think you could use them the 25th.
Almost everyone that has ever heard me tell that story says the same thing. When in public transportation I used to teach defensive driving and I would always tell that story (of course, the number of years was smaller), but, almost everyone would flinch when I would say that. If it were to happen now, I still went 54 years without one and that is a record I am proud of. My grandson just got his licence and I told him that story and challenged him to beat my record. He immediately stated that he would make it 55 years. I told him that is one contest that I am happy to lose. (It didn't occur to him yet and I would have to be 125 years old to verify that it actually happened and by then I might have a much bigger number to aim for.)I knocked on wood for you.
I just googled annual passes. I love google! It says you can use your passes the day they expire.
There is no guarantee that a plane won't drop down from the sky and hit your car either, but, in the case that you mentioned there are thing that you can do to prepare for such a situation. The possibility always exists and not every accident can be avoided, but, constant defensive driving will increase the chances of finding a way to always anticipate something like that. Example... watch the wheels on approaching cars in relation to the line in the road. It is possible to see cars drifting into your lane well before the time they get to you, but, just being aware that this is something to be cautious of can and will prevent a number of accidents.
Sympathy like for all of you xoxoMy sister’s babysitter is still out of town, so I have her kids for an hour.. my mom just called me and said that my sister was in a wreck but not to tell the kids.
No details.. brother-in-law called my mom and told her that sis called him and said “I wrecked I’m calling 911.” and hung up without saying anything else.
I’m guessing that she is ok. Hopefully it’s not bad. She literally just bought her new Pilot a day before their Disney/Florida trip.
Thanks!
Sounds like somebody needs a side trip to Kennedy Space center
I watch for that as well. I will also look at other drivers in their side mirrors to see if they are looking over to change lanes. I am definitely a defensive driver.
Reminds me of when I was teaching my daughter to drive. She took forever to get that concept in her head. She went by right of way and not by what might happen. If she saw a person with a bike, approaching and intersection she would think. Well I'm coming down the road in a car and he is just on a bicycle so he will be smart enough to stop and wait for me to go by. Finally after months of nagging and reminding, she on her own covered her brake and touched it mildly to make sure that the bicyclist was indeed going to wait for her. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's so cool except having to wait for the shirts. My older ds is also afraid of getting sorted, even online. He's afraid if he's not in the same house as the rest of us we won't like him any more or worse he'll get sorted into Slytherin.

Next rainy day I'm going to trace out the wrap dress view B but make it sleeveless and with the bow. First I'll make a mock up in muslin and once the fir is perfect I have some lavender linen. This is going to take a while. I'm allergic to inside in nice weather
I didn't know until today they call the postal service on the other side of the pond Royal Mail until today.
Have you thought about making your own roasted chick peas? They're quite easy to do. Chick peas, evoo and the spices of your choice. Not much work and much cheaper when feeding an army
Ha ha! Perfect!
When T was around that age he randomly said “A car engine is a brain.”
What?
“It’s like our brains, it controls the car and has many different jobs to do. They should have just name it Brain instead of Engine. Why did they name it an engine?”
It really is great that kids think so much.. I love curiosity and critical thinking and empathy when it’s about people..sometimes though, I wish he could accept the first 3 answers. Once I was running late dropping him off to preschool, he started on his house stuff again- I said “Bob the Builder built it”
“MOMMY! BOB the BUILDER is a CARTOON! He’s not REAL! I want to know the name of the REAL person.”
Ok T, his name is Jim. Look we’ve arrived, hurry up.
“What’s his last name? I don’t want to get out until I know his full name.”
But yet.. around that same timeframe, the kid asked me to go get money out of the machine that gives out free twenty dollar bills, without questioning it.
