Hello darlin'. It's nice to see ya. It's been a long time...

Well, it is officially the first day of Fall and I haven't posted since Spring. No good reason. I MUST post twelve cents for today, given how frustrating it has been...

Today's Twelve Cents

1. I am 99.9% certain that the SC driver's manual mentions NOTHING about the use of a turning signal. Hundreds of people just can NOT be that obtuse.

2. However, SC does offer more drivers who are sensitive to pedestrians. In DC, I saw at least 10 people get hit or "tapped" by vehicles in my four odd years there. Seriously. And you could hear the drivers screaming at the pedestrians to "WALK FASTER!"

3. Why must one learn words such as "stupid" and "meanie" at the ripe old age of three? While I know they didn't pick these terms up at home, I can only guess that they were offered up by the same kid who taught Jack to spit. And you thought the flu was contagious...

4. Is so grateful to her mother for keeping books, barbies, etc. from her childhood. I just wish she hadn't shipped them to my first apartment en masse so I'd still be going through them at the age of 33.

5. Thinks car manufacturers should just stop printing the MPG of their vehicles until gas shops stop diluting their product with Ethanol. In 10 years, a Honda will get about 12 MPG on the freakin' HIGHWAY!

6. Some days I can only find six cents to spare...
