Memo to the world.... Got one?

[mamakimberly]

To: Drivers everywhere

When it is raining heavily and totally dark and dreary out.... please please for the love of all things in this blessed world.....

TURN your headlights on when you are driving. USE your turn signal if you want to change lanes. And GET OFF your cell phone.

If you fail to obey all 3 of those in quick succession, you miiiiight just about run me off the road.

Thanks so much!
Kimberly
CC: world

Feel free to add your memo to the world, I know I feel better!

If I'm the only car on the road you can certainly wait another 10 seconds for me to pass by before you pull out in front of me and then dawdle along as though you have no cares in the world.

If I'm in the passing lane doing 70 (in a 65) with cars in front of me and cars in the right lane, save yourself the trouble of rubbing my bumper and flashing your headlights at me! I can't go any faster than the car in front of me and by now you've annoyed me enough that I'll probably slow down!

And don't flip me the bird when you finally pass me because I wasn't going fast enough to suit you! Leave for work on time and you wouldn't have to worry about it!

Also...if it's icy out, and you're a rig that is equipped to drive *safely* in the ice, but you see a little car that isn't...don't tail them. It's just not polite.

Ummm. not to the world.

Memo to Cassie:

Next time you're mucking around in the Batch features in photoshop, don't decide to experiment for the first time in a folder that has 46 images. Go get a coffee, you're going to be here for a while. A very LONG while.

From: Cassie's brain, that was distracted and didn't stop you from pressing OK.

CC: everyone else, for information purposes only.

Mine is so simple:

DO NOT ASSUME YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!

Don't assume that because my legs can carry me the 5 feet from where DH drops me off to the door of a store that I do not need to use a wheelchair for my shopping. Do not assume that because I'm still young that there is nothing physcially wrong with me. And DO NOT...DO NOT ever tell me that I'm taking advantage of something that's meant "only for the truly handicapped, ma'am."

And lastly--do NOT assume that I'll just let it go, especially if you're an employee of the store. I WILL go to your supervisor. Nobody, whether they need the wheelchair or not, should be treated that way...ever.


Huh...I do feel better. Thanks, Kimberly!

To all the horrible drivers in the world (namely San Antonio):

Please don't slow down to 5 when turning.

Please don't drive straight when you are in the turn lane, and vice versa.

Please don't turn down a one way in the parking lot and flip me off for not moving out of your way.

To drivers generally:

* The black and white lines on the zebra crossing mean you STOP!, it's not a pattern on the road

* A directional arrow facing you means you don't go down there, it's not graffiti

* A yellow diamond shaped sign with a picture of kids on it does not mean you speed up, you will not get 100 points if you hit one of them

* Red means STOP!, not go faster

California state law, if you ever turn on your wipers you have to turn on your headlights, so that would help you there kimberly! should be a law everywhere...common sense so it helps people see in the dreary weather

I'll second that one BIG time.

NOTE TO THE WORLD:

If you see me walking normally most of the time you see me, but then one day see me with my walking stick, do NOT judge me... or crack jokes about me playing too much football... or anything else you may think is funny. To me it is not funny... you have no idea how chronic my pain levels have become to force me to use that despised walking stick in public.

Secondly:

Just because you think my kids *LOOK* normal, does not mean they do not have a disability. The way they *look* does not give you or anyone else the right to argue with me that they are not autistic... tryi living with them 24/7 and you will soon learn what raising an autistic child (or in my case 3 autistic kids) truly means.


Thanks Kimberly... you have no idea how often I bite my tongue on those!

TO: Salespeople at (let's call them Estbay Uybay)
RE: This is why I buy product online!

Thank you to the sales person who totally ignored me today but instead helped the more attactive childless person who WASN'T there first.
BTW I was going to BUY that camcorder until I was totally ignored but instead found Newegg.com had same camera and cheaper.
And I am sure she was very impressed by the odor of cigarrettes I saw you smoking in the parking lot when I pulled up to the store.


Thanks for nothing,
ME
