Hell, Cars! You need to change your name!
I once lost the brakes in a car on the freeway (ages ago). I had room though so I kept hitting them and gradually got some brake back (enough to pull the hell over and call for help). I don't know how that worked (mechanically) but it did. I heard later that there's air in there (kind of like in Aussie's head) and you can pump the brakes back up. Fuck if I know.
My car once died in the middle of the freeway too. Just stopped dead in the middle lane. I wanted to get the hell out (I was young and dumb) and people passing by me slowed enough to yell at me to get back in my car. THANKS FOLKS! Somebody must have called it in though; I didn't have a cell phone at the time but a tow truck showed up eventually. That day really sucked.

Like I said that was "many, many" years ago, while still learning.

That may be because in 1982 I was sitting at a stop light two days before Christmas, in OKC and some idiot slammed into the back of my bike. I flipped over the back of the bike, across the hood of his car, off his windshield and onto the pavement right next to his drivers door. Then the idiot rolls down his window looks down at me laying on the ground and says, you ok man? Then hits the gas and takes off. Needless to say I was late to work that day.
It's a good thing he didn't hit me. Cuz I would have had to get out of the car. And if I have to get out the car, someone's getting fucked up. Bless his heart
I feel sorry for poor people. Not all of them but some I've seen recently.

Some poor people are not really poor!
My iPhone 4s died on me last night. I got an 5s this morning. I think I need iPhone rehab. I was stressing without my phone. I used my kindle for the web but it's not the same. And I thought only the kids were too dependent on their phones.
The wifi on my Kindle bit the dust and I've been crazed without it so I can understand how you felt. I tried taking my laptop to bed in its place but it was like a big, ol' dinosaur. I'm hoping Santa brings me an iPad.
I was just cruising ring tones. If you go to the iTunes Store ringtones and put in asshole calling, some of the most hilarious shit comes up. I was entertaining myself with those instead of putting my bedroom and office back together. I had it painted this week. I wish I could just twitch my nose and poof! Done.

Oh Cowwwwbbbboooyyy! Here, put this red hat on and give this to Duchess.
Our county got rid of plastic bags in most stores recently and paper bags cost $.10. It's been well advertised and coming for months and yet, there's always the idiot that freaks out.
I was behind a woman in line yesterday and when told she would have to pay $.10 for a bag she said "well, if you're going to be that cheap, I don't want one"! So the poor Down's Syndrome bag boy looks at her, looks at the cart...

So he starts stacking her items neatly in little rows in her cart. Her stupid credit card won't swipe so she practically throws it at the clerk and says "here, YOU deal with it"! Then she asks for "just one plastic bag" and the clerk tells her there are none in the store. You'd think someone spit in her coffee. She was pissed.
I love shit like that.
Then it's my turn and I've got a couple of huge CostCo. bags. Poor Jason (the bag boy) took several minutes putting items in my bag (I wanted to reach over and start doing it myself but he gets a little pissy when you do that). He has to actually look ahead and figure out how to divide the items up and apparently that's beyond him. He loaded up one bag with almost my entire order and then put two items in the second. Our local retard population needs retraining I think.
Plastic bags are still going strong here, the first thing they ask you before bagging the groceries is if plastic is ok. You can opt for paper bags, but the downs syndrome guy will give you the stink eye. They can be mean little bastards.

When I run out of the plastic bags I have left over from the grocery store I guess I'm going to have to buy boxes of plastic liners for all the little trash cans we have around the house.
I was looking at my stash of grocery bags today and wondering if they might be a collectible item one day. I'm thinking about putting a few aside for posterity. OR, I could undercut Safeway and sell them to bitches like the one that was ahead of me for a nickel a piece.

Do you have to pay for that?
Download the Zedge app...it's free and they have a ton of stuff. I don't know anything about iPhones, do you have to get everything from itunes?

Any ringtone I've ever wanted from Apple has charged a fee. Never had that issue with BlackBerry. I never paid for ringtones, apps, anything and I feel like Apple charges for every little thing. My BlackBerry is loaded with NFL apps, all free. I don't have any on my iPhone. Others may have a different experience but this has been mine.
Yes you have to pay for the ringtones. I didn't but any. I was just amusing myself. Most of my apps are free. I only paid $2.99 for WWF so I didn't have to deal with the ads.
I booked our tickets to Detroit for TG. I hope it's not cold.
I haven't had much alone time in about a month; doing all kinds of nothing today (my niece is sick; she's hibernating in her room with the vaporizer and playing video games).
Like username, I don't watch pro baseball til playoff time. World Series is tied 2 to 2 -- SF Giants vs KC Royals. Game 5 is in SF in a couple of hours. No assessments booked today -- way too difficult to travel in the city during home games. Thanks Giants -- kick some royal ass!
My friend KJ gave me some special cookies last weekend; hardly ever have such treats. BUT, my sister and my mom got into the bag when I was working and left me only crumbs. "We're on vacation!" -- that's what they said when I confronted the smiling faces and nearly empty bag after work on Monday morning. So, I'm having a crumby Sunday, in the best way -- washing the crumbs down with spiked iced tea and listening to jazz. Good day.

Ah. I hope it's not too cold too.
Should be nice to see your nieces and nephews anyway.
My youngest sister (mother of the niece who lives with me) says she's coming for Thanksgiving this year. She said that last year too but didn't end up making it. If she shows up this year, it'll be nice. I feel like cooking.
If not, we'll do our own thing again with my friends and see her down south at Christmas. I hope she makes it happen though; just as a sign for my niece --my niece doesn't seem to sweat that shit anymore, but I know it matters.
