GG,I'm learning so much about people these past few weeks and I'm not likeing it at all. Everyone is trying to hussle everyone out of something. Also, I go to the mall today not once,twice but 3 times I wait for a parking space and someone zooms right into it knowing I was wating! I felt like doing a Towanda and smashing these punks truck in after they stole my space! I did honk my horn for a very long time,opened my window a flipped them off and said nasty things to them. LOL, they would not even look me in the eye!!! Then I thought all kinds of nasty thoughts,but controled myself because jail is not worth it. My husband is being a sap and letting some guy talk him into fixing things that are not in need to be fixed. I'm not leaving my husband alone with this guy fo fear of being taken for more money than we can afford. I go out and buy a new computer because this one really sucks and he says we can't keep it. He bought this one for a few thousand 4 years ago and got taken on it. Anyway, I just think people suck right now and don't want to be a sucker any more.

OK guys did a really bad thing,but did't realize til later. My 17 year old sons a horrible driver. Today when we goo the mall he was driving, he was going in a parking space and I told him to stop,but he would not listin (yet again). He scraped the car next to us. I got out and inspected thecar and only found a coupe of scrapes on he bumper of the car. I told my son and daughters after trying to look for the owers that O'well, it's only a couple of scrapes on a ruber finder. Anyway,after that had to run back home because y husband had my money card. My husband informed me that I did a hit and run (or my son did). Sooooooooooo, i go to talk tomy son about his driving tonght to hope that this will teach him about his responcibility on driving and we get intoa fight because "it's all my fault.". he storms of in the cold and dark and I'm upset. I call at his friends house and the dad thinks I kicked my son out! I' almost been in several recks with my son because he has a led foot and he thinks that the near misses are no big deal. I'm just sooooooo tired of his mouth and being cussed at and walking egg shells. I'm upset that I did something illeagal for God's sakes! I'm upset that my son made me look like I kicked him out because I was trying to talk safty to him so he does not hurt himself or othersby his driving. Yes, when cussed at me cussed right back beause I was shocked that he was blaming me for his reck! Now, I'm not going to even let him set foot in my car until he takes driving lessions from driving school. Ifeel like crap right now and wish that I could ake amends to thepeople my son hit. It's too late and really it was just a couple of scrapes (LOL, this of course was before the people cut into my parking spaces and that is why I was ooooooo pissed).

Ah Zoomer, teenager and cars, especially teenage boys and cars. There is a reason that insurance for teenage boys is so high - it's because they're bad drivers!! The most important thing to them is the station playing on the radio. Actually, driving lessons sound like a good idea for your son.

Love, Anna

EAGLEWOMAN · 11-29-2003, 10:26 PM

I AGREE WITH 51ANNA, ZOOMER, I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE MY SON WHEN HE GOT HIS DRIVERS LICENSE AND STARTED DRIVING. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. AND IT TOOK HIM FOREVER TO GET IT; IN FACT I AM NOT SURE THAT HE GETS IT TO THIS DAY. HE HAD TO LEAVE OUR HOME STATE FOR A FEW YEARS DUE TO HIS DRIVING RECORD. UNINSURED ACCIDENTS, TICKETS, FAILURE TO APPEARS, JEEZ U NAME IT...........OF COURSE, HE IS AN ALCOHOLIC AS WELL AND HE WAS AT THAT AGE, AS WELL. I WAS STILL USING MYSELF AT THE ONSET OF ALL OF THIS..........AND I TRIED EVERY METHOD THAT ONE COULD THINK OF AND NOT ONE BIT OF IT HELPED! HE STILL DID WHAT HE WAS DETRIMINED TO DO IN SPITE OF ME. NOW, OF COURSE, I HANDLE THE WHOLE MATTER DIFFERENTLY. IT DOESN'T HAVE MY NAME ON IT. IT'S HIS STUFF! HOWEVER HE IS 43 YRS OLD NOW. HANG IN THERE. IT WILL GET BETTER OR IT WON'T. KEEP COMING BACK!

zoomer · 11-30-2003, 05:26 AM

LOL you guys! Ha, Anna your so right about the radio, that is the first thing he does is turn it full blast when we get in the car. My boy does not drink,so we don't have that exscuse for his behavior!!! I have a mini van and he acts like it's a hot rod for god's sake. Yup, he looks so cool with a mini van with a car seat,with the music bumping and going top speed. LOL!!! I'm not really mad about the scrape,I'm angry about his not listioning and his mouth. Accidents happen,but he needs to learn from it. He said he will not take driving lessions, I said no license then. I guess he will be really old by the time he works and saves up money for one. Then last night I get a call from my daughter. I told her I was going to send her money for Christmas so she could buy what ever she wanted. She tells me that her dad,St. Mom and her decided that she was going to use the money to buy Christmas gifts for them! I said not! How dare they decide that my girl is going to use my money to get them stuff! I told my girl that it was like sticking it to me if she did that and I'm just going to send her gifts instead now. (flash back, when my daughter was living with me, they almost always never sent her gifts at Christmas,never paid child support for 9 years until they were forced... and the fact that I wanted my girl home for Christmas,but let them spend the holiday with her because they wanted to make up for all the years lost) I'm nice,but I'm not that nice to hand over several hundred bucks for their Christmas! They both have good jobs as geologist,why do they need my money for christmas? OK, I'm done venting! Today, I'm just going to relax as much as possilbe and refuse to talk to my older children about anything. My poor head and heart needs a break!

zoomer · 12-01-2003, 04:54 AM

TY BFC, I think I'm just plain old run down and letting things get to me a lot faster. Too much to do and only one of me! My son and I are on speaking terms again and he will not even ask to drive any more although he still turns on the radio when he gets in the van! LOL!!! Also, my husband is reconsidering the new computer. I don't care if we have a new computer or an old one as long as it works good. he needs to clear out this old one to make more memory room. He is a computer engioneer (sp) and can fix this thing if he wanted to. He does not do the PC,but main frames,but I'm sure he can figure it out. Anyway, I need a vacation without the kids or with a nanny LOL!
