Winter Wonderland

by Maureen

I feel that I just have to write a rant. I hafta!

What in heck is wrong with people? I know that is the $64,000 question these days. I'm talking about the morons on the road.

C'mon people...it's a fricking blizzard around us. Use some good old fashioned common sense. And if ya wanna kill yourself, then do it in the privacy of your own home...not on the roadway.

Today we have had major snowfall, gusting winds, blowing snow and almost 0 visibility. Maybe a car length.

And lo and behold the morons are out in all their glory.

TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS. How many living brain cells does it take to do this?  You don't even know they are there until you are on their ass. The law states that if you need your windshield wipers on, you need your lights on. TURN THEM ON!

CLEAN THE SNOW OFF YOUR CAR. I hate it when there is some dipwad driving with a foot of snow on the car and their lights are covered. Then the snow blows off their car onto your car, which you just spent 10 minutes freezing your ass off to clean...lights included. Now my visibility is even less. Talk about the lights being on and nobody home!

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BIG TIRES AND A SMALL DICK DOESN'T MEAN YOU OWN THE ROAD. I can't stand the imbeciles that drive private snow plows. You know, the guys that plow your drive and leave mounds of snow in the road. And think that they can go barreling down the icy snow covered roads like it is a sunny day in May. I don't want you behind me...and I bet you don't wanna be behind me as I creep along at 15mph! Serves ya right ya little Napoleon!

IF YOU WANT TO TURN RIGHT ON RED, DON'T WAIT UNTIL I AM IN THE INTERSECTION TO DO IT. Is that half of second so important that you will risk having the traffic come to a slip-sliding halt? So you can only get stuck at the first red light anyhow. And in your haste cause me to lose a year or two off my life.

If they say there is a great chance of black ice, there probably is.
If the law says you need your lights on, you probably do.
And if I call you a son-of-a bitch and flip you the bird, you probably deserved it.

Ahhh, winter. F/U!!

BAH HUMBUG

BAM!!

DeeDee said...

I know its frustrating!!

I just have this visual in my head of the big wheel trucks flying by and eventually covering up your car...then you are rescued by this Kathy Bates character and at her home she does that fence post on the legs thing...

my point is...it could be worse...

Zona said...

Ahhh..a Good Moaning following a nice early Bam!! Could anything be more perfect? ;)

MO: People don't know how to drive in a storm out here either..a couple of raindrops hit the wind shield and you can bet you'll hear sirens within a few minutes. I don't understand why they aren't more careful..it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize wet roads are slick roads..so slow the heck down! Sheesh...

DEEDEE: I had white Go-Go boots in sixth grade!! ;D

HI TINA!

MO: Didja get your snow day? I hope so! :)

BIRDEE: 15 minutes!!! :D

I'm like the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland this morning.."I'm Late I'm Late for a very important date"..so I better get moving!

Have a nice day everyone! :)

DeeDee said...

Zona...those are not white! Its after labor day for goodness sake!! They are Dove Grey suede....

oh what Nancy Sinatra did for boots!! Go-Go boots were a great trend!

DeeDee said...

Maureen...

I used to share that thing about the guys who drive those big trucks...but then I met this guy who had the biggest truck!

And let me tell you! He reached across the Brazos/Robertson County line!! HUGE figa sonda!!

I see him around town occasionally...can't seem to chase him down....and my car is much faster than his truck...the last time I tried to catch up with him...the more I waved my panties out the window it seemed the faster he went...

whabbear said...

Now bring me a "figa sonda", now bring me a "figa sonda", now bring me a "figa sonda", now bring it right here!

bonachichi said...

Well good morning Hooters, and I hope it's a fine day for everyone.

Mo, one word. Unbe-fucking-lievable.

bonachichi said...

DeeDee, watch you don't get poked in the eye.

DeeDee said...

lmao at Robert....

Just_Lin said...

DeeDee Congrats on being prettier than the moaner today.

Tina Congrats on being the runner-up. That means you will be expected to fulfill the duties of the Prettiest in the event that she is unable to do so.

Just_Lin said...

MO Thanks for the blog today. I've never lived anywhere where it snows and it just seems like so much trouble. And what is with drivers who think they should just barrel along during bad weather conditions? Do they think that going fast equals being a good driver? Are they just morons? We have those kind of drivers here, too, during rain storms and heavy fog. Actually, it is a phenomenom I've never quite figured out. Why is it that as soon as a few rain drops come down, half the people forget how to drive properly? It's a mystery.

Just_Lin said...

Waving a wing at Zona and Bonach.

Just_Lin said...

Bear ROFLMAO

Mary/MI said...

Mo Mo Mo!! I have all the same rants...and more!!
I have an SUV and drive like the little ole woman that I am...slow! I don't feel the need to speed! If I think I am holding up traffic (side roads) I pull into a clear drive and let the fools go!
I hate when people wait until the last minute to make a turn and turn on their blinkers AS THEY ARE TURNING, and not before!!
There, noe I feel better lol!!

Bebbilane said...

Good AFternoon/morning all!

DeeDee: Beautiful Bam!

Mo: FUNNY! :) Love it...

Hi Tina, Zona, Whabby, Bonachichi, J/L, and Mary! :)

LOL DeeDee! @ Waving the panties and him going faster!

What is a figa sonda? I am clueless, as usual.

I won't have internet again until the 20th, they are backed up at my internet provider and they missed their appointment last night, just didn't show up!

Maureen dear you seem upset about something. What's wrong? You can tell us.

Jodi said...

MO - I have seen a whole lotta crazy right here in my little town. I am SOOOOOOOOOO thankful that I don't have to drive in this crap in the "big city"!!!

Jodi said...

And ZONA....and no we don't have to have chains on our tires ;)

Jodi said...

Waving a wing at DEE DEE (LOVE the boots!!), MOANIN' TINA, WHABBY (love your little ditty!!), BONACHICHI, SLIN, MARY, BEBBI & SHIRLEY!!

Got chili in the crock pot!! Perfect for a frigid night ♥

DeeDee said...

You have never struck me as frigid Jodi....

Just_Lin said...

It's raining steadily now. In about 1 1/2 hrs I'll be going into San Francsico to a little place that makes excellent Philly cheese steak sandwiches. I only know this because my friends are from New Jersey and they tell me so. I do know that they are delicious. I will see what kind of crazy ass drivers we come across. Not too many I hope. We are taking the Coast Highway so hope to avoid a lot of the traffic.

Just_Lin said...

HOdi Chili sounds great! I haven't made chili in ages.

Jodi said...

LMBO!!! DEEDEE....the WEATHER, definitely not me <3

Jodi said...

SLIN - Make it!! I just got done eating. It was soooo good!!

Maureen said...

Good evening feathered friend!

Thanks for the comments today!

No day off today :(

This morning I decided to avoid the freeway, as there were many accidents where I was heading. And they said the overpasses and ramps were very icy. So, I head thru city streets. No problem. Until I get to the abandoned dairy farm. Wide open snow covered space...and huge wind makes for 0 visibility. I get past it and am tooling along. Until not one, but 2 SUV's with a foot of snow on them are in front of me. Grrrr. The snow is blowing off their cars right onto my window. ASS WIPES!

I get about 2 miles from work and the freaking road is closed! A water main break. I had to go in a huge square to get to work. I ended up only being 7 minutes late!

Tonight I breezed home! No snow all day...until I got to my street!

Tomorrow is another day!

Maureen said...

HODI...chili sounds YUMMMMO!! Corn bread, too?

DEE DEE...forget the figa sonda, gimme those boots! BTW...what is a figa sonda? Maybe I will change my mind on that!

WHABBY...LOL!

ZONA...what were you late for?

Jodi said...

MO - No cornbread....damn I knew I was forgetting something!! I try to get all the snow off my truck, but no way am I digging out the bed. So I am guilty of blowing ;)

Maureen said...

HODI...bj queen? LOL!!

SHIRLEY...LOL!

Maureen said...

Reminds me of my favorite joke...

Now don't all groan at once!

Why was the snowman so happy?





He saw the snowblower coming!!

Bwahahahahaha!!!

Dianne/Denver said...

Hi Everyone.....My test yesterday turned out with nothing wrong showing. I thought I might mention what is going on with me to all my nesters.


I have been feeling nauseous since around Halloween. It feels like morning sickness, motion sickness, etc. and I get dry heaves along with this sickness. I have been to my primary many times, taken off meds, put on new meds, blah, blah. I had a CAT SCAN of my tummy last week and went to the ER afterwards as I am just so sick and pleaded with them to admit me to find out what is wrong. Well, that didn't work. My primary got me in to get that throat appt yesterday otherwise they couldn't get me in until sometime in January. Needless to say, this has also been extremely depressing...which is another whole separate issue.

I do read the blog each day on my phone and appreciate so many good wishes from everyone, the emails, etc. I hope I will soon be better.

Maureen said...

DIANNE...so glad to see you stop in. And so sad you are feeling soo poorly. I pray everyday for you to be better SOON.

{{{HUGS}}} to you.

whabbear said...

Dianne, I think nausea is the worst feeling that our bodies can throw at you. Can't believe this is happening to you... big hugs!!!

DeeDee said...

figa sonda is Italian for "pussy probe" which I was using as another way of saying penisula....if you kwim...without the "ula"..

there..that wasn't just filthy....unlike what I have mailed out to several of you in Christmas cards....lq

Beware the mailman....

Maureen...boots on the way....

iteach said...

Driving on winter roads scare me, I definetly stay inside way more in the winter.

iteach said...

Dianne, more big hugs from me!

Maureen said...

JENNIFER...pull up a branch and stay a while.

DEE DEE...thanks for the boots and the explanation!

Just_Lin said...

Jennifer Yes, please stay a while. Here, I've dusted the snow off of this branch for you.

Just_Lin said...

Dianne I'm really sorry that you are feeling so poorly. Have they checked your inner ears?

Dianne/Denver said...

JL: went to ear dr and they can do a test on jan 3 with results on the 10th--ridulous how long to get in

Jodi said...

DIANNE - Hoping they can find an answer for you. Sending big love from Wisconsin <3

Jodi said...

MO - You might say that ;)

JENNIFER - As I get older, the more I hate driving in the winter!! Good to see you here!!
