sun.

My daughter sends about 30,000 text messages a month. Is that normal? Text messaging drives me nuts. I can't stand doing it. I don't have the patience for it.

I ran daughter to the store yesterday morning. She was out of pay as you go minutes for her phone and you'd of thought that her world was about to end. I was still in my pajamas with uncombed hair and unbrushed teeth. But it was urgent because "everyone is texting me and I can't text back!" So to the gas station store we went.
While she was in the store I sat in the car..........and as I sat in the car I could see in my peripheral vision a man walking towards my car.........I was thinking why do I do this! Everytime I do this I run in to someone...............so the guy gets to my car window and I'm still hoping that if I don't look at him he won't be able to see me. You know?
 He says "hey." I exhale with relief when I hear his voice. It's my middle son. He was nicely dressed for a meeting at work............and he talked to me about what was going on at school. He was happy,  handsome, and working hard.............and headed somewhere in this life. I felt proud of him...........

Court date for Dude, the guy who ran over my son, is approaching. He's not in trouble for hitting my son. He's in trouble for driving without insurance, without a drivers license, and for failure to appear at the first hearing. They didn't do a sobriety test on him, and I don't know why. I'm certain he was drunk or high. The best I can come up with is that Dudes neighbor is a cop. Maybe they're friendly with each other?
But anyway, I may or may not tell the son of a bitch off when I see him, assuming he shows.

i think you should the the mofo off anyway. if not that, he's paying for his mistake with a driving interlock on his NEXT vehicle or has to get one installed on his current one which is a thousand bucks, jail time, fees, fees for sobriety classes, and more fees out the ass on top of the fees already on his record. true, there's no monetary value on someone's life, but the drunk guy will wish he's in the next afterlife. i recently got my license off suspension for being photo-zapped on running a yellow light at a busy intersection. wtf? in the driving class i took, i heard all the alcoholics discussing their shituations
