Don't send him to the north, we have enough crazy drivers on the roads already!!!! LOL!!!!

Nancy I feel for you! When my DS got his license I was a wreck! He was a good driver, but the crazies on the road were enough to give me a heart attack!!

I just would like to know when stopping for a red light became optional? Is it just here in Delaware or all over? I have to wait on MY green for these selfish NUTS to go through THEIR red light...sometimes 3 of them...what gives? (getting down off my soap box now) Thank you veddy much for listening

 

[ddavis860]

Buffy-

Still waiting for the hair report...did you go through with it?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I so understand what you mean about the optional red light.. or I really enjoy the ones who believe they can talk on their cell phones and be allowed to use the middle of the 2 lane road to drive.. I have had to swerve many a time...

Right now we are dealing with a wild turkey who thinks he can cross a major intersection and when he gets tired he can just lay in the middle of the road.. Yes, this is the main area in town! He had traffic backed up Tuesday night.. We heard the conservation officers got him.. but we saw him this morning down by the middle school. He was down at the middle school Tuesday at 10:45am we passed him.. walking west.. by 2pm he was tieing up traffic at the major intersection(it's about 8 blocks).. ppl were chasing him off to the road.. traffic would get going and he'd take center stage again! This morning he was headed west again.. I sure hope he doesn't make it back to his intersection again!

My DH would be wanting him in my roasting pot...I can't believe that there hasn't been a ooops, and he is for dinner at someone's house...in season or not...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Well, I emailed a teacher at school about it.. he has written a book about his hunting adventures.. He emailed back and only said.. LUNCH!
That turkey has been around since October... just now he started roaming town.. He had made it to the park and chased all the kiddies out of our park playground one night!

I'm so jealous of everyone going to WDW in the next few days and weeks! I hope you all have great trips.

This weather is @*#&$!! We had heavy wind, sleet and freezing rain last night. Then, in the middle of the night, I heard thunder so it obviously rained, but all of the snxx is still out there. We have flash flood warnings out now and it's supposed to start raining later this morning. Then later tonight and tomorrow we're supposed to have heavy snxx with 50 to 60 mph winds.

And no, people don't stop for stoplights anymore. We counted 5 cars that went through one last night while we were trying to make a left turn. With all the driving I do, I always assume cars are not going to stop for lights or I would be in a pickle!!

The first time I saw several of them in a major road around here, I thought we were being invaded by wild pterodactyls!! They're gross looking!

 

[Mickster]

We don't have much by the way of large turkeys, but one afternoon we saw a family of turkeys (but they weren't very big, just slow) crossing the street. One parents held up traffic so that each of the babies and the mate could cross the road. Took about 10 minutes. You would have thought that my kids had never seen an animal before. They talked about it for days. Of course, my camera battery was not charged.

Oh no.. that means that stuff is more than likely headed my direction..
I too assume they aren't going to stop..and what really sets me off is the idiots who think that in ice storms they can drive the normal rate of speed and then when they slide off and you can't stop..they flip you off! Hello? Jerk you put yourself in that predicament. We had that happen this weekend.. I was never so glad to get back to our hotel. Even the semis driving 60+ mph on majorly iced highways...

 

[ddavis860]

Yup, the idiots on the icy roads...DUH! It's scary! We were parked at a friends house and some idiot was going down the road too fast, had to correct his skid, and almost hit us...then got mad at DH because he had big sideview mirrors and the guy was going to hit them...ummm...HELLO! YOU JUST CROSSED THE ROAD AND ALMOST HIT US?!? And we were parked? My DH was just "Buddy, you almost hit me and my family, I think you better shut up now" and we all sat warm as the idiot had to figure out how to get his truck away from ours. The kids were all "WHOA Dad, that was AWESOME! You shut him up..."

As for letting the crazies through the lights...how do you teach a new driver that the rules apply to him, but apparently not to the other people on the road It's really sad! I lay on my horn at the start of my green anymore if I am first at the light...they look at me like I"M nuts...

 

[YodasMom]

Oh no.. that means that stuff is more than likely headed my direction..

I think the frozen stuff will all be north of you, Nancy. I'm sure you'll get heavy rain, though. Southern Illinois is having bad thunderstorms. We're having frozen pellets inside raindrops up here right now, but we're just 10 miles from Wisconsin. Yuk!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I know what you mean.. Some drivers just think the rules don't apply to them.. what do you do... aside from teaching your kids... you not only have to teach them to control their vehicle..but you have to teach them to watch and anticipate what every other moron is going to do while they are driving...

 

[PrincessNancy96]

We are also getting that "ice like fog".. as it rains.. the sn** melting we are getting a nice little fog right at the sn**'s cover.. Should make for "wonderful" driving soon! NOT!

 

[Mickster]

Because I have nothing else to add, I'm going to bring my inner geek and tell you that fog is called sublimation. The transformation of a solid to a gas.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

We had that last week. They called off school on a count of FOG. But is was really bad. Less than 200 foot visability. Not safe for crossing the street to get on the bus.

PN96, are you still miffed? You can help me clean up my house. It's been let go for three days now. I have to get it cleaned up and packed up before 3:00 today so I can head South.

Okay, now can you tell me how to solve this equation...
mv = (m + M)u.. solve for m...


It's a bonus question for DD due tomorrow.. and if you can solve this I have another one...

Well, let me tell you.. that sublimation is getting thicker.. YUCK!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Yes, I'm still alittle miffed...but I'm getting better.. still frustrated but what can you do.. some ppl are just fools... (NO ONE on here; this is with someone here; not related to me)

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Hey Mickster.. DD got a 24/20 on her Newton Mobile!!! I'll post a picture shortly!!! He was so impressed.. We used a balloon on an air track.. You'll have to see our little mobile.. and that neat thing is we were able to incorporate scrapbooking materials!!! He was very impressed because she gave step by step instructions on how to make her mobile and answered his questions completely...

Give me a minute. I love stuff like that... Have to paint hander paint on DD's nails. I think it is sparkle purple. Where does she find this stuff??
