Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Jabber...I don't know why folks don't just pull over for their map-reading/make-up. Anne...thank you sweetie...I am counting my blessings, believe-you-me. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dee, I agree. But the most aggravating thing to me is seeing so many other drivers talking on the phone. If I need to telephone someone, I always find an appropriate spot to park first. People are dying because common sense is not being applied where the use of cell phones is concerned. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Dee, I'm guessing you aren't sore at all? I still can't get over the fact that you weren't hurt. The other day, we saw a bad boomer morotcycle accident shortly after it happened. We were on 695, where people go at least 55-60, and there was a paramedic leaning over a man on the side of the highway. It looked like two boomer men were out riding and one got hit. The other guy was next to his bike on his cell phone. I imagine he was calling loved ones. I can't stand motorcyles, especially on the highway. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Dotsie...fortunately I wasn't hurt which really is a miracle in itself considering...I guess there's something to be said for being in a really big vehicle. I didn't even get a seatbelt bruise. Thank the Lord. I'm not a motorcycle person either...I would not allow my sons to have one...knew too many people who lose their lives riding one. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Dotsie & Dee, First Dee let me chime in with, "I'm glad you were not hurt," once again. And I agree with the both of you that motorcycles are way too dangerous. They scare the beegeebies out of me when we're traveling on the thruways and expressways and those tiny, little scooters weave in and out of traffic. Some of 'em pass us like we're standing still. They must be doin' 70 miles an hour, on a couple inches of tread. Every year while we're in Florida more than one motorcyclist loses their life! I probably said that somewhere before, but boomers repeat themselves, sometimes ya know! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Jabber...yes, it's amazing how fast folks can go on very little tread beneath them...and so many without protective clothing. Many cyclists say it's not the cyclists say it's other drivers that put them in danger and that's very true...it's sad when someone loses their life in any accident. _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

meredithbead The Divine Ms M Registered: 07/07/03 Posts: 4894 Loc: Orange County, California	Dee, it really is a miracle that you weren't hurt at all. The guy who hit you is a complete and utter jerk, and I hope he stays locked up for a while. People text, talk on phones, apply make-up etc. because it's all about them, right? What's such a big deal about hitting someone when you might've missed the latest gossip?

Dee Member Registered: 06/27/05 Posts: 2561 Loc: Alabama	Meredith...last week I received a phone call from the owner of the company whose employee hit me. (did I say that correctly?). He said he would have called me sooner but had just gotten the police report and my phone number. He asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. He was very apologetic and told me the guy who hit me had a lot of legal problems and if I needed anything to give him a call. I told him I was okay, the truck is okay and not to worry. I'm just glad it all ended well. Well, except for the guy who hit me. I don't think he'll be hugging any old ladies hoping they'll not call the police on him... _________________________ Dee "They will be able to say that she stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away....and surely it has not.....she adjusted her sails" - Elizabeth Edwards

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I wonder how many innocent, law biding people are hurt and killed by reckless drivers on our roads today? _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
