Hi, friends!
Yesterday I was caught in a bad traffic jam on the interstate. Usually the interstate has to have a bad accident for jams like this – like there’s a left shoulder and a right shoulder so a fender bender has a lot of room for folks to get out of the way. By contrast, the innerbelt cuts through some ritzy areas and a fender bender on a 3 lane highway involves police with nothing else to do blocking off 2 of the 3 lanes.
But you know, no flashing lights or sirens. I finally get up to the source of the delay — it’s a damn red coolor on its side on the side of the road. In the grass. No lid, on its side, empty as fuck. We are so dumb as a species, I don’t understand how we made it this far.
One particular thing that drives me crazy is the drivers who get past a bottleneck and won’t speed up. It can be an accident, construction, toll booth, but 1/2 mile down the road they’re in the left lane with clear road ahead still going 30.
I got a call this afternoon from my wife saying she fell & 5 seconds later her student NP grabbed the phone & said she would call me after x-rays. 20 mins later I get a call they are heading towards ortho. She knew the ortho doc, they shot the shit & she begged him to do surgery right away. He couldn’t for a couple days but she is now back home & they just called & said they can operate tomorrow. Her wrist has 2 fractured bones. All this from ripping out a tree & falling down in the clinic parking lot.
Yuck. Good luck with the surgery and recovery.
Oh no! Hope all goes well and she feels better ASAP!
She hates pain meds so her casted arm is on her head to keep the throbbing down. Good times!
That’s too bad. Hope it heals without issues.
Oh dear; best wishes to Mrs. Loveshaq!
Oh no I’m sorry that happened!
Ugh, that sucks. Hope she’s able to recover quickly.
I once lost my mind on a hot Sat morning because the asshole in front of me decided to gawk at some fender bender in the opposite lanes causing everyone behind him to brake hard.
I was the idiot right behind him and my temper exploded. I roared in my best drill sgt voice to get his stupid brain dead fucking ass in gear and stop trying to cause more fucking accidents. I kept calling him jello brain. My window and his window were open so he heard everything.
The cherry on top was the traffic cop standing at the corner and laughing at him. The cop waved at me as I drove past.
Mom isn’t eating or drinking so they had to send her to the hospital to see if it is a urinary tract infection. I had a bunch of calls this morning and afternoon.
I went to see her to see how she was doing. She wasn’t good.
Sorry to hear about that.
Really sorry to hear that. Not eating can be a very bad sign in elderly so I hope they can figure that out quickly. Stay strong brother!
Sorry to see this. Hope they can solve this.
