I've been pulled over once. The time I got the ticket for speeding. It was late at night and I just missed seeing the sign coming into a small little town. The cop was way more rude than he needed to be. I'm just a tiny little thing and was very polite and compliant and he was acting like I was some escaped convict. I cried after he left. I deserved the ticket, I mean I WAS speeding after all... but before that, I used to speed on purpose. This was truly an accident. I don't speed anymore.

I am SO EXCITED!! Jason volunteered to go to Hobby Lobby to find some clay. He had a fourty percent coupon and I told him I trusted him. He spent more than I expected, but it was about the price we'd spend if we had to order 'hearty clay' online. It's a kit that has a NEAT/PERFECT mold that'll go well with the frames! yay!


That's great, flintjae!

Is it true that pretty much all babies get upset stomachs and/or fevers when they teethe? I could imagine it would be very painful and uncomfortable. Seven at once just sounds so very painful.


Everyone is different, and every set of teeth is different. There's no rhyme or reason.

The cops were out en mass today, but only at school zones where the speed limits are cut in half very suddenly. They sure got their money today, but I do understand why cars need to slow down, even at high schools.

Busy day for me and I got absolutely NOTHING done that I should have.

I ended up extending my half day volunteer shift into a full day shift for the Art department at the elementary school. It was fun tho! The sub for the afternoon and I sort of tag teamed the classes and all went really well.

I've been stopped several times but only once for speeding and that was not the time I received my one and only ticket. The first time was for running a red light right in front of a police officer. She didn't ticket me, but warned me to be careful. The intersection I ran the red light on was a known problem spot and I just wasn't thinking. The next time I was pulled over it was because of a burnt out tail-light. Nothing major just a warning to get it fixed. The next time happened roughly 6 months later for speeding. The officer took my license and came back to the car with this look of serious unbelief. He asked me three times if I had ever had a ticket before. I kept telling him no and he was just amazed that some who had been driving for so long that never had a moving violation. (I didn't volunteer information regarding all my warnings) He said he just couldn't give me a ticket with that kind of record. Then just a couple of years ago I got my first ticket, a mere 2 blocks away from home. I hadn't yet put my seat belt on and was in the process of doing so when the state trooper turned the corner. When he pulled me over I started laughing and just couldn't stop! I'm certain the officer thought I had lost my mind! I got the ticket anyway and laughed the entire way to my destination. I think I was late for carpool that day too.

Blessings,

Garsy

Usual rule of thumb is that you get most or all of the trouble (eg disrupted sleep) with the baby while the teeth are "grumbling" and trying to push well beneath the gum. By the time you actually see them, the trouble is usually over or almost over.

What a week away- still trying to recover, decorate and we are all fighting a bug...

Cops... I've been pulled over three times...
1. I made a left hand turn from a right turn lane on red- duh. I was following my then fiance (now hubby) who said turn right, but was wrong. In my mind, I was turning right, so all I needed to do was wait for traffic to clear and go, but when I realized I needed to go left, it didn't register to wait for green... He let me off with a warning since my record was clean and it was an honest, but stupid mistake
2. My mom got my car registration (car was in her name, I was still in college) and threw it away thinking it was for the car they had sold. I was only 18 and never had to deal with the registration so I never looked- she called me to come home (45 minute drive) because it had expired and they had just started doing online registrations from notary offices- came home, got the paper saying it was registered, but no sticker yet. Left to go back to school and my little sister said she put my purse behind me seat, didn't, and wasn't that the night I get stuck at a LONG light in front of a cop. I told him- no problem, I have the paper right.....yeah, no paper, no liscense... He wrote me up in a way that as long as I brought both papers to the police station within 48 hours I would be fine.
3. cop says I was doing 20 over the speed limit (by following me)- first of all, my 6 week old baby was in the back seat. Second, we were on an interstate that is very up and down with several trucks in the right lane- I was sticking to the left, passing them uphill, getting passed downhill, when this car behind me started acting weird, coming right up on me, backing off, right up on me- it made me very nervous, I was post pardum and thinking I had a road rage crazy behind me and a semi to my right so I could a) brake hard and get behind the truck, b) speed up and get around the truck and get out of this guys way- speeding up seemed safer- and for that, I got a ticket (but he only wrote up 5 over- and I was NOT going 20 over!)

Kara - your Detroit story makes me laugh. When I was in high school my dad and I went there for a baseball game. As we were leaving he got us lost. It was well after midnight and my dad pulls up to a Blockbuster and says "go ask them for directions" I said "uh uh, no way am I getting out of this car." I get that he didn't want to leave me alone in the car. Right then I saw the sign to get us out of there, and I was happy because I swear I saw a rat the size of a small dog run in front of our car!

Oh my I have too many stories of my dad getting us lost in rough neighbourhoods. And my dad has absolutely no clue.

My husband has been pulled over soooo many times.

Once, we were driving his brothers car and we were pulled over for speeding pretty fast. The cop looked ticked and we knew we were getting a bad ticket and a few demerit points. But on the way back to his car, the cop stopped to read the handwritten sign my BIL had posted in his window. It said "There are two roads, heaven and hell. Which one are you taking?" The cop came back and told Dh that he put in he was only going 10km over the speed limit so he wouldn't lose any demerit points!

My dad is notorious for this. He's spent a fair amount of time doing construction work in some really rough neighborhoods in Detroit, and we joke that you could drop him in any area and he could find the worst neighborhood. He's done it pretty much every vacation we've ever taken.

I've only been pulled over once- I had a headlight out and was given a warning to get it fixed. I've been in 3 fender benders. 1 totally my fault, 1 half and half (we backed into each other in a parking lot), and 1 not my fault (was rear ended by a big pickup truck while stopped at a freeway off ramp waiting to pull into traffic.

Now, fevers and teeth pain I can fix. I even have ways to help stuffed noses, but Nathan's cough wakes him up sometimes, and I haven't gone to cough medicine yet (and won't until it really becomes a problem and I speak to a doctor first). Right now it is not a persistent cough, more sporadic.

The only time I've hit a vehicle was when I was backing up in our parking lot. I hit a long cabbed truck. I couldn't figure out why I hit it until I got out of my car since I was barely backed up (not even enough to get out of my spot easily) Well, the lady who parked the truck had it parked about a meter back so she was sticking out of her spot by about a meter. And this parking lot was pretty squishy. I felt so annoyed and dumb. I broke our one tail light, but didn't damage her truck. But I still went and talked to her and made her come out so she could check for herself. She laughed and said her truck was too ugly and that if there was a scratch on it she wouldn't even notice it. So she said "no problem" and I went on my merry way.

lol. I've been pulled over once, when I first got my liscence, for speeding on an interstate. I still get heart palpitations and check my speedometer whenever I see a cop car. I was soooo mortified and timid little me got even timid-er after meeting that intimidating state trooper!

Dh has been pulled over a bunch of times, when he was still learning the rules of the road. Running red lights, mostly. He did have one "driving while black" incident very early on. But he actually didn't resent it, because he thought it was pretty logical that if you have a young black male shooter on the loose, you're not going to be pulling over old white ladies to see if they're him.

I did my big shopping trip yesterday. The boys were totally rotten at home, but at the store they were so good. An African man in line behind us watched them putting food up on the counter and said "They are great helpers! I'm so impressed with your children!" which I took as a high compliment. And then an old lady called them "little angels", which is not a label I would normally affix to any of my three boys.

Me too. I hit a lady in a Walmart parking lot while driving my mom's car. She was driving a big boat and I was driving a Civic (or as I like to call it a papier mache car) My entire bumper folded in and nothing happened to her car. But she ran up to my window and started screaming at me. Then Andrew got out of the passenger seat and she stopped yelling. She pointed to her bumper and told me that I left a mark. I reached down and wiped the mark off (it was dirt). She told me that she was beeping her horn to get me to stop. But the way we collided, she technically hit me so I asked why she didn't just stop rather than continuing to drive and honk her horn. Then her 8 year old son said "I told you mom." The lady has horrified that her son gave her up!

When Dh and I met, he was living in Quebec. He still had his Ontario plates on his car because he wasn't living there permanently. He used to get pulled over ALL the time for silly things. Once he was pulled over for having one headlight dimmer than the other. He asked if it was so dim it was illegal, and they said no, but he should get it fixed. He asked why they pulled him over and they just told him he could be on his way. That happens all of the time to Ontario drivers in Quebec, they don't like us at all!

LOL about the kid saying "I told you mom". What is up with so many people not wanting to take the blame? So many people try to blame their mistake on someone else instead of just owning up to it. Quebec doesn't like any other area besides Quebec. They do want to separate.

Thats the truth. In my entire insurance career I have only seen 3 or 4 people who actually admit an accident was their fault. I'm working a rear-end case right now where the rear-end-er claims the guy backed into her, sure...people who are stopped at stop signs regularly back up.

I've actually had that happen to me, not at a stop sign though. She got out and started to yell at me, but she was moving and I was stopped. My dH was in the car and quickly pointed that out to her. She shut up. No damage was done, so nobody reported it.
