Driving in the Begining on 2008-01-30 14:54:53 |

Dear flagtwirler,
My wife just came in the room and told me to remind you to:
1. stay off the cell phone
2. pay attention to your driving.
At sixty miles an hour, you are traveling 5,280 feet in one minute, that's 88 feet in one second. So if it takes you just one half of a second to take your foot off the gas and put it on the brakes, you will have gone 44 feet.
Now the typical car will take about 125 feet to stop when going sixty.
It doesn't take a math genius to figure out, that if a kid runs out in front off you on a country road, and your going 55 miles per hour. And lets say that kid is three driveways in front, or about 75 feet. You will hit him and kill him before you can get stopped.
The point is: don't be distacted at all when you are driving. The sweetest kindest people on earth can end up killing someone because they weren't paying attention.
Also if you have a bunch of your friends in the car and your having a blast. Then a cement truck doesn't stop at the stop sign, so you are laughing when you see it, you may just end up killing yourself and all your friends.
But if you live through the accident, you get to look at your friends bodies all torn up and bleeding. They might even get to cry and beg you for help as you watch them die. SO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DRIVING!!!
Love & Peace,

Dear flagtwirler,
Since I have no-idea how old you are now, I can only say that if you can type on the computer, then you should already been driving your family's
lawnmower. Driving go-karts, riding dirt bikes, etc.
2. A mid size car is the best and safest vehicle you can be in today. Suv's and pickup's are death traps, but people think they're safer because they are bigger. ( not so )
3. I started driving at age nine, but I am a farm boy and I drove trucks and tractors in the fields before going out on the road.
4. Both, start with a stick shift on dirt roads if you can, but make sure you get time on dirt roads no matter what.
5. Make sure you get someone show you what to do if you go of the side of the road, then make sure to practice it a bunch of times so that you will feel confident when it happens by accident. Or if someone forces you off onto the shoulder. Also make sure you get to have practice time on snow and ice. Get your dad or mom to take you to any shopping center parking lot at night when there is no traffic. Have them teach you what to do when you spin out. How to pump your brakes if your car doesn't have A.B.S. (anti-lock brakes)
Practice emergency stops on the ice. Then if you have plenty of room, make the car spin out on purpose so you can try to bring it back under control.
And lastly, let your mom and dad see this response so they will remember to actually teach you these things, because your drivers ed teacher never will!!!
Hope this helps.
Love & Peace,

Shelly,
Actually it looks as though you are getting a handle on yourself.
Something has been bothering you and you are not able to deal with it, so other people are taking your anger.
Just being aware of what an asshole you are being tells me that you are not a bad person. You just seem to have anger and you don't know how to control it.
Keep up your thinking about it, and stay aware of how you feel guilty after.
You will then be able to resolve your problem, because you care!
Seeing a shrink may or may not help. but as long as you are trying, you are on the right path.
Love & Peace,

Question on 2008-01-26 01:07:51 |

Dear Marie,
Get a backbone and tell the guy what you feel.
We guys are always getting rejected trying to meet you girls, and you would make our day if you came up to us.
Watch out because sometimes some of us guys see an easy mark with girls who think that they are in love with us.
We got two heads and unfortunately we usually listen to the little one.
Love & Peace,
jwcj

Why can't I be happy? on 2008-01-24 02:16:47 |
|
Dear Princess,
I think after reading your post, I might shed a little light on why you feel so unhappy.
Don't get mad, just think through what I am saying.
First you must see that your unhappiness can only come from you. You want life to go the way you want it to, and that is just not going to happen.
You can extract more fun from your life by accepting the wonderful things that are going on around you, then become a part of them.
Give of yourself before wanting something from others, and expecting a guy to sweep you off your feet, tells me that you have been watching too many video's.
My wife and I have been together for 32 years, and while we did fall "In Love" with each other, we have had to work everyday since to provide for happiness.
So when you ponder your situation, always pay attention to those really old words, "you reap what you sew"
Quit wanting others to provide you with happiness. Make yourself happy!
Love & Peace,
jwcj

What do you do? on 2008-01-15 23:17:07 |

Dear SG,
I noticed that you have a child with you on your profile picture.
Talk about someone who never stops thinking about you, loving you unconditionally, and at your worst and best moments: you need not look any further!
You look very pretty and have an absolutely wonderful smile.
I'm sure that if you take your time and not run to the first relationship you come across; you will soon find a partner who will give you as much as you give him.
Watch out for us guys who are only able to handle a relationship only on a short term basis.
I say us, because when I was young it was the sixties and we were all into free love and comunual living and sharing, but in reality we too were actually looking for that long term Love.
Kick back take your time and you will find what you are looking for.
Love & Peace,

Snowflakes - Stop and Consider on 2008-01-15 23:07:33 |
|
Dear Kathyjoyful,
Yep I look at them, and I know a couple of ways that you can enjot them even more.
Go to the toy store and buy an inexpensive microscope.
Set yourself up a place on the back porch with plenty of lite at night.
Catch a snowflake on a slide that has been outside and cold for a while, but not frozen over.
Then take a look!
You can also buy a very good single reflex camera( quite a bit more expensive) with a good macro close-up lens(again pretty pricy) but then you can actually take pictures of snowflakes in extreme close-up and preserve your findings for life.
Ain't nature wonderful?
Love & Peace,
