Yep. I would try calling tomorrow too to see if people canceled.
On my gps. It will plan out a whole route cross country and THEN ask you if you want to avoid carpool lanes. Then if you say yes you have to plan the whole fucking thing again, which can take a while. Why the hell doesnt it ask that at first. Even better have a selection so if you're rolling solo all the time you can set it to no carpool lanes ever. Same with tolls. If I'm going to void the tolls I know right from the beginning. It just makes no sense.
The U turn. Many gps will have you drive in a direction just to make a uturn. There should be a uturn icon so you know. I drove 7 miles once only for it to be bringing me to a road to uturn at. Was like fuck this, I could have pulled one 7 fucking miles ago.
People who can't merge AGAIN. This stupid cunt from MA skipped all chances to merge propperly heading into construction then tried to actually pull into my lane along side of me as the left lane ended. Then I wouldn't let her in, and alerted her to how retarded I thought she was and she accelerates, almost clips the cones and slams in in front of the next person, still no turm signal. In her stupid fucking head I was an asshole because I didn't let her in and she had to pull in because her lane was ending. What the stupid whore who will probably have several stupid fucking children failed to notice was all the signs for miles alerting everyone to the left lane ending and everyone else signalling and merging into the middle lane when they found openings. But no, not this whore.
I really wish cops would sit at those merges and ticket the fuck out of people like that. Those people, idiot/aggressive drivers, and people driving without their lights on are the ones that cause accidents not speeders. IF a road is open, and somebody is going 15 over it doesn't fucking matter. IT's the people that are bombing through traffic that THINK they know how to drive. Had a guy cut through between me and another car two days ago. He thought he had enough room but didn't, I figure what he was doing and backed off right as he swung through, he wouldn't have made it otherwise.
Watched somebody do a jersey sweep to the right in traffic with a left turn signal on. That was pretty sweet.
Also I don't understand whay we set our speed LIMITs so low. IT's a speed LIMIT. Instead we set it low "because people are going to speed" so we set it low so the final speed will be what we want. That's so fucking backwards and reactionary. Set the speed proper and then enforce it. Imo it just shows a lot of what's wrong with our laws in this country.

Everybody sucks at merging. People seem to think it means come on at 90 and try and force me to change lanes, or just drive next to me or something. They have the yield, not me. I try and be nice but sometimes it's better for me to just pass them and for them to slow up a bit.

Actually in most situations the proper merging technique is for oncoming cars to merge going the freeway speed. So here in CA that is generally 65-70. Going slower than that is where problems arise. But if you are a thru traffic driver who is in the right hand lane, you have to be ready for the possibility that you have to get over. Some on ramps are really short, or curved with no chance for the merging driver to adjust their speed relative to you. It is best if you just pass them. But I've never seen a problem of people merging at too fast of a speed.
I say this because where I live nobody can merge. They all get on going 45mph, and loads of times I've seen cars just get run off the road because they just yield and yield. Merging is a delicate art. Not too slow, not too fast and requires two to tango. A good merge with another car feels so good.

Plenty of people do the get on to slow in front of me thing too. They have tons of time to pick up to highway speed and they just stay at 45. So annoying.
Ideally you come on at 65, but if you've ever driven in new jersey you'll know that going 65 in the right lane will hold up traffic. I put cruise control at 70 and I get passed constantly. So a lot of people just come on going like 75 cause they drive fast as shit all the time, or judge it badly, thinking they can beat me on but they can't.
The bigger problem is the design of the roads. The on ramp is right before the exit ramp here, at least on the highway I have in mind. So cars coming on interfere with cars trying to get off. It jsut ends up with everybody hitting the brakes hard.

We were mowing a city cemetery today and I was in the back. A few hours into the job one of the other workers on our crew comes up and starts yelling at me for not mowing between some graves. I try to explain to her that it is against the laws of physics to fit a 72" deck between two objects that are 60" apart. After a good 5 minutes I just gave up.
Some people need to learn how to accept that they may be wrong at times.

People are so faking ignorant. At work today a woman asked me to wrap up her sandwich. I told her we aren't allowed to touch any food that has been taken off the counter due to health codes and offered her a box to put her own sandwich in. She was like "i don't know how to use these boxes." Which is ridiculous as shit if you can't figure out how to close a damn sandwich box. And I told her again that it was illegal for me to take her sandwich and wrap it for her. She then got all pissy and was like alright whatever. Easily closes the box I gave her btw and then causes a huge scene. "Thanks for nothing! I guess I'll have to put my own sandwich in my own box. Guess I'm not paying for service!" Like fuck you bitch stop being lazy. We don't control the laws.

Enjoy your weekends folks, and dont piss and moan about how awful your weekend is going to people who have to work, biggest pet peeve of mine is seeing miserable people spending their hard-earned holidays off whining.
Dont do that, cherish every single moment youre not working or schooling (obviously there are exceptions but fuck your negative ass for wanting to bring them up.)

Got hit by a drunk driver on the 4th and I feel shitty as fuck. I'm supposed to leave for snowflex in a week and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do it. Fuck. I was injured all season, I could still ski just not even close to what I can do. This trip was supposed to like make up for a season full of injuries and now I'm barely able to get out of bed a week before. Fuck this. Fuck drunk drivers. I'm sad and I was looking forward to skiing again):

Seriously though that blows. My friends brother was killed walking home a few years ago buy a drunk and the lady didn't stop. Shit's fucked. I've been hit by a drunk in a car, but we managed to not roll, and everyone was alright, just shaken up and a little whiplashed.
Real bummer to hear. Stay positive, hopefully you heal up right and at the very least are good to go for the actual ski season.
GET BETTER NOW!
Yes that's a demand!
keep us updated

Haha sounds like a plan. Nah but for real I won't sue. He got arrested and will get punished for it. He's been really nice and apologized(sincerely) and he/his insurance is paying for the damages. He's just a dude who made a mistake. I don't want to make it harder for him.
It's just a concussion, which sucks but I could be dead so it's not bad. I didn't break anything and walked away from it and my brother was fine too so I just gotta be happy about that.
That's awful to hear though. Something like that happened in WNY a few years ago too. So sad...
I'll definitely be good for ski season as long as nothing else happens between now and then haha thanks borty!! I'm gonna try I promise lol

True, I would at least ask for some beer/food money. Like "yo, you ran me over with your car, can you buy me a meal or a 6er of something good?"
I don't think that's too much to ask.
And try not to get too many of those. They do add up over time.
You better get better. If not...
I know who you are. I know what you want. If you are looking for medical attention, I can tell you I don't have any legitimate degree or professional training. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a ghetto Florence Nightingale/Patch Adams for people like you. If you get better now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will help you.

just be cautious with the actual recovery process. a lot of the issues people get from concussions like migraines, loss of coordination and stuff can stem from a poor recovery.

He's already in a ton of trouble with the cops so i kind of just wanna get healthy and move on and hopefully he'll be able to do the same.
Thanks everyone else. I'm gonna try to take it easy for now. I don't wanna fuck up my brain haha.

I'm not political at all but oh my god I'm so beyond pissed that America got so fucking offended by a BATTLE FLAG that it was taken down from where it should rest. Everyone argues its about racism when it really isn't, its mostly because the fucking psycho supported it and killed black people and the flag never even touched a slavery ship. And then people bitch about the fucking nazi symbol, which is thousands of years old meaning good luck and we'll being. But of course everyone thinks because that crazy fucker Hitler it means killing an entire fucking race.
I just hate how we get offended by such pointless shit that isn't even glanced at in today's world. The media literally just makes people offended with nonsense.

It's frustrating as fuck for someone obsessed with history to not be able to remember anything anymore. I used to be able to tell you about all these things and places, dates and people. Now I can't remember shit. I still love it. I'll frequently watch 10+ hour documentaries but anything new or that I've forgotten goes in one ear and out the other. I enjoy it in the moment, but I just can't convert any of it to long term memory. I still have a patchy knowledge of history but nothing like I used to.
If I went to college would have probably gone hard on the history. Got a 99 on the history regents in HS. Would have been a 100 but by douche bag teacher ripped the test out of my hand mid conclusion because he was pissed that I never did homework and always came back after he kicked me out and told me to transfer classes lolz.
In real life it's bad too. When people tell stories about a grandfather etc that you never met, and that's how you learn about them. That's how I feel about my life. People tell me stories, and I can't remember any of them. Like they were about somebody else but it was me. It doesn't seem real because there's no shred of memory left.
It's kind of fucking scary actually. Like there are huge chunks just missing. Going from remembering everything to this patchy existence of jumbled up partial memories is nuts.
I hope that one day it comes back, but I guess I'm just happy I've been able to keep my calm and friendly demeanor through it all. It's allowed me to keep my friends who have sort of kept my life together in a sense, keeping me from getting confused, helping me to remember things, helping me to feel alright, and to meet new people in the same way.
Idk if anyone of you have seen that movie memento, but I feel like I can relate. Nothing that extreme but those same kind of feelings. There's just something unsettling about not remembering parts of your life, the people in it, the places you went, etc.
I mean I guess I've always been out and about doing things so a lot of things that SHOULD be interesting might get cast off because there's so much shit, but it just bothers me.
A friend played a cd for me that I bought him. Not only did I not remember it, but I don't remember giving it to him, I don't remember ever seeing or hearing of the band, I don't remember any of it. I insisted it must have been somebody else but he was positive it was me. He's probably right. But I have things like that happen to me all the time now. I'll watch a movie then the next day ask the same roomate to watch it, having no idea that I saw it. Even after sitting through the entire movie again, remembering none of it.
That's pretty fucked up at least to me.
/sorry. Just had to get that out. Don't think I'm going to get too old, but at least for the time being shit like that scares me. Makes me feel like I don't even know who I am. Fuck head injuries.

when are we actually going to change shit in this country? we shouldn't have to live in a fucking society where employers deliberately cut corners and maximize their own paychecks while stiffing their own employees. I love my job and hate to bitch, but it is kinda shitty being a full-time employee but getting nothing in return for it.
Oh well, that's America! What a great country, care more about our right to call people fags but no one shows up the minute wages and important stuff needs be sorted out.

Seriously, fuck this youtube channel. You're more worried about your kid hearing a swear word, over buying them fucking McDonalds. Want to care for the health and sanity of your kid? Don't take them to fucking McDonalds. I hate this fucking state where everything is everyone elses fault. Yeah take your kid to McDonalds, but how dare they may hear a swear word.

I've got to be the only 19 year old who is still terrified of the dark and being up/ down stairs alone. I'm pathetic.
Sometimes I forget that other skiers aren't into skiing as much as I am and I over do it. Oops. Sorry, not really sorry. I'm just a super stoked person and I want people to get hyped.
I leave for Snowflex in 2 days now. Holy fuck I'm stoked. But it has been decided to take my friends car that shakes violently at and above 65mph. Mostly because my jeep is standard and I'm not driving the whole 10 hours. I've tried so hard to teach her how to drive it but feathering the clutch is just such a difficult concept I guess. So...yeah gonna be fun. We also have to sleep in the car for 2 nights. I don't know how I feel about that. Not about to get like murdered. I've slept in my car before but idk. I'm kinda scared. Maybe Well park/sleep in the liberty university parking lot. Jesus will protect me there.
I want to try a backie onto an airbag. I feel like if I can dub on tramp I should be able to fucking attempt it by now. Probably won't because I'm a little bitch haha
I'm also mentally preparing myself for dying on the rope tow. I fucking can't do those things. Skied my whole life on a J bar and chair lift. Rope tows are just the death of me. It's bad. Ugh I forgot about the rope tow.
So basically with all that said, I am a little bitch.

You should try it! It's awesome. A little different feel from snow but almost the same!
I just have no upper body strength and the snowflex is a little sticky sometimes so I find that the rope tow bucks me a fuck ton. I don't know. Maybe I am more coordinated than I was last year. I also won't be using poles so that might help. I don't know. I can put a j and t bar behind me, but i can't get around the handle part on the rope tow and find myself hanging on for dear life... if only I still had the footie from last year of me struggling on it hahaha I'm such a gaper.

This is a little bit of an unpopular opinion, but I am so sick of hearing about gay people and gay pride on both sides. Honestly I couldn't give two shits if Johnny and Timmy decide they like to play with each other. Both sides have done good things and both sides have done bad things. I don't care who is right or who is wrong. 2% of the whole population is gay. We should not be making this big of a deal about 2% of the whole damn country. There are more important things going on in this country and the world than fucking gay marriage.
But I guess I'm stooping to their level and talking about it here. Whatever.
Also fucking Lebron James winning the ESPY for best final performance? Are you kidding me? His team didn't even win. Madison Bumgarner had a .43 ERA through the whole World Series. AND HE LEAD HIS TEAM TO A VICTORY. ESPN is so biased I thought I would give them one more chance with the ESPY's tonight after boycotting Sportscenter and such for 2 years and NOPE not watching them ever again.

I agree and disagree. I don't think we should be making a big deal about it, I don't think it should be news, but IMO it is a big deal at the moment. The only reason it's newsworthy is that we're finally moving past all this irrational hate. In baby steps, but we're going somewhere.
I mean you have people(my parents included) sending all kinds of money to campaigns to stop anything that could help/protect gay people. It shouldn't be a big deal, but we've made it a big deal.
Also if it wasn't so frowned upon there would probably be more. I mean hell, several of the biggest advocates for traditional marriage, gay people will burn in hell forever, and whatever else have been caught having homosexual relations in secret.
As far as there being more important things maybe. Civil rights and general progression/moving away from outdated beliefs is fairly important imo.
But I agree. There are a lot of huge issues out there. The thing is we aren't, and we weren't really tackling them anyway. I don't get why people act like we were in the middle of solving all of the worlds problems, getting to complete world peace, and then gay marriage came along, took everyones attention away, and the world went to hell.
Allegedly, the economy has been one of the, if not the most important issue in every presidential campaign for years. Yet everyone still votes for giant douches that do nothing to fix the problems, and help us move forward.
We have lost all kinds of freedoms, but again, we vote for these people, reelect these people and it's all good.
So well I agree that there are more important issues out there, I don't get this sentiment that gay rights have somehow taken everyone away from solving the worlds problems, because in all honesty they weren't. And if we get a little bit of progress in civil rights, and move a little bit further away from an antiquated religion in our government, I don't think that's a bad thing.
So maybe gay people only make up 2% of the population. But that said, that's still a ton of people living here, and people are people/deserve equal right and protection under the law.
Don't worry though. This whole wave of gay in the media will soon blow over and then everyone can go back to not fixing the economy, and voting for douches once again.
So came in here to rant about buying some tools.
Found a coupon that's good for $50 off of $250 of more, aka 20% off. So I divided up my purchase and even with separating the shipping, saved an extra $158 on my order. Anyway they all went through fine. Then today I got 2 emails that 2 of them did not go through. Fucking weird. Thinking because it's a new bank account maybe my car got shut down. The funds are where they should be having purchased all those items.
Anyway I was up till 4am getting everything set.(firefox crashed twice) Had to meticulously go through everything and make sure I had all the right stuff again.
Basically ordering a whole mini workshop so it was a giant pain in the ass. That said if it works out, saving the money, is worth saving the money so whatever.
Spending like $1050 then going to order a similar $ worth of steel sometime this next week.
Can't wait to get building some shit but a little bit stressed with everything

I walked across the store and found another bench and changed back into my own shoes then I realized I really had to pee. By then the line to check out was like 30 deep and the bathroom was like in the next building so I just left. I'm still in need of new shoes and I don't know if I hate shopping online or in person more.

It's generally not too bad. online. I don't mind in person either. That said I don't go near malls. I FUCKING HATE MALLS.
Also for me the welder I wanted is $600 at sears. I got it for $500 plus an extra $50 off my using a promo code and doing multiple orders. I'm always pretty frugal, so saving all that and a bunch more is worth the hassle. Also I live an hour and 15 + from the nearest walmart home depot, I think there's a sears an hour away. So online versus a long drive to the store to pay more. I drive to those areas regularly and don't mind an hour drive but If I can get it all delivered to my door for less than the gas $ of shopping in store fuck it.
Also it's not like I'm not supporting a local shop because I legit wouldn't even be able to find everything I wanted without the major stores like home depot etc.
I like buying shit from ski shops but ever since I got huge feet and super tall it's tough to bother. Have them order stuff and wait just so I can pay more to support them. I try and grab stuff in shop hear and there but I like particular things so finding what I want in giant sizes is unlikely without them ordering it.
