I read
your "corner" message and
although most of it just makes sense
to women or men drivers, I had to laugh
because I happen to have a pretty flower
lei on my rear view mirror and wondered,
gee...was he referring to me in any
of these points.
The only
one I could really say that I may or
may not do would be the multilane highway
and slower traffic to right. Two points.
Point 1
- For the most part, this is correct.
However, if I have just passed a slower
moving vehicle than me and there is
one coming up shortly (within 20 or
30 seconds), I absolutely won't move
over. Once I have passed all the vehicles
I need to and there is a big enough
distance until the next one, then I
will get over. I am not going to worry
about the so called "traffic flow".
Why would I quickly get over so you
can pass and then have to just get over
again. Forget it, that's affecting my
so called "Traffic flow".
Point 2
- If you tailgate me because I didn't
get over quickly enough for you, then
I'm not moving at all. I do this alot.
I will always get over when I have passed
all the vehicles I needed to, but once
you start to tailgate me, trying to
get me to move over, or move across
the yellow line onto the shoulder, because
you think I can't see you...game over.
I'm not moving. I will wait until you
have gone around me and then with a
big smile on my face move over. It doesn't
matter to me if you're a smart Car or
a big truck. Don't think for one minute
you can bully me over. I was there first.
Wow, your
right...that does feel good to get that
off your chest. Hope it wasn't my flower
lei you were referring to, but if it
was, don't follow so close. And if you
have never followed anyone to close,
than this won't bother you.

Big
Daddy's Big Controversy
Dear
Ms. Plant,
I
received a copy
of your magazine
to peruse from a
friend. I was interested
in what it contained
and quite impressed
with the layout
and content; then
I turned to "Big
Daddy's Corner."
This article, I'm
assuming, was meant
to be funny. I don't
understand why a
magazine, whose
target market is
very obviously women,
would include such
a sexist, belittling
article in one of
its issues. How
narrow-minded is
it to stereotype
women in general
as bad drivers?
I agree there are
women who are bad
drivers, just as
there are men, teenagers,
elderly people,
and taxi operators
(you get my point)
who are bad drivers.
I am an educated,
professional, working
mom and I also consider
myself to be a very
responsible driver.
In my opinion, the
article inferring
that MOST women
are bad drivers
was simply offensive.
Perhaps "Big
Daddy" should
refrain from trying
to sound intelligent
and limit his activities
to sitting on the
couch with a beer
and the TV remote.
Sincerely, Erin
Maiorana

"I should

dinner."
Wrong
move, it isn't
her responsibility,
this one gets
me riled up.
Especially
if he is calling
at 9 pm.

Well,
Mrs. Butterworth,
first I'd
like to let
you know I'm
a big fan
of your pancake
syrup. Are
you married
to one of
the Kiebler
elves? Also
I'm curious
whatever happened
to Mrs. Pilsbury
Doughboy?
I never see
her anymore.
Did
you know Colonel
Sanders back
in the day?
I love his
chicken.
All this food
talk is making
me hungry.
And I never
did find out
what's for
dinner. What
are you having
tonight?
