i decided a few years ago that maybe one day i will learn to drive stick shift, so i taught myself to brake with my left, and use gas with my right foot with my automatic. now i do that without thinking.

My car that I drove all through college and law school was a stick shift. The first time I tried to drive my dad's automatic, I kept slamming the brakes on, trying to shift it.

I don't think that I could drive anything but an automatic.

My first car was a '63 Buick Special. Three on the tree and 231 cubic inch V6. Hell on wheels.

Was she "ported and relieved"? (What does that mean anyway?)

Three speed manual on the steering column.

Nice Beach Boys reference. I'll admit, it went right past me, though it seemed vaguely familiar.

Sounds medical!

I always liked driving a stick shift.

Don't you need one foot for the gas pedal and one for the brake? I started to learn how to drive, over 20 years ago, but never got a licence. But I seem to remember needing two feet, though perhaps that was because of the clutch (at least back then, you had to learn to drive a stick shift car, not automatic. Maybe it's different now.)

stopdog, I just wanted to say how very sorry I was to read your news.

I learned how to drive a stick on a '67 Chevy with three on the tree. I could hardly believe how easy it was to drive the more modern stickshifts. I miss driving a stick.

I like "ambifoocterous". I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

ambifoocterous - HA HA HA...thanks Hankstah.

Mast (((missed you))) - you only need one foot in an automatic, but you do need 2 in a standard. But even in a stick, you use your right foot on the gas and the break and your left on the clutch. Except I know people with CP that do use 2 feet in an automatic and do just fine.

My first car - 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger. ROFL. She was sweet baby. Slant 6, sexy, and lots of power. Automatic. I learned a stick when I got married, it wasn't bad because I grew up riding dirt bikes. I do like a stick better, but I drive a automatic hybrid now. I want a smart car though.

You people are right as usual. Thank you for making me put my family first. I will use the walker when I am home alone. You have a lot of smahts for crazy peeps.

im glad to hear you will consider using the walker for a bit. you could deck it out with streamers on the handles and a bell and what not. or maybe use a cane or a walking stick . those are awesome options also

TRIGGER



I had horrible dreams last night about my son dying and me and the mother being caught in a tornado when we were visiting my sons farther in prison. my son was just a child in my dream .
I hardly ever remember my dreams and every time I do it seems it is a dream about loosing my son

as I write this omg hows that for drama. sounds like something right out of a disaster movie the only thing missing was the happy ending when all the family finds each other and lives happy ever after. I woke up when I was holding tightly onto a tree getting blown around crying to myself (sons name please hold on to a tree over and over again) end scene

ugh Granite...that sounds horrid. I know how bad dreams can screw up your whole day. Hang in there, you're safe now.

it was not the best dream . I do have some awesome stuff planned for today though .I am going to this plant nursery to build this fairy garden in a wagon to put in my yard and then this evening I am going to this class run by this scrapbooking celebrity that is well known for her colored pencil work. seeing as I use colored pencils to color my cards that I make I am hoping i will be able to learn some new techniques

Going in for my Psychatrist appointment right now, everyone wish me luck

I came home on my lunch break now, back to work. I wanna stay out in the sun, though!!! I don't wanna go back to my gray little box (cubicle)

Yeah I know it stinks

so I went this morning and made this beautiful fairy garden in a wagon . I needed my fathers help to get it out of my car so he looked in to get it out and said wow such talent and it is just wasted that was not enough but my step mother came out to see it and my farther said the same thing to her and she just agreed with him.. have I said I hate them lately. anyway this is the picture

It's lovely granite

Don't let your family get to you. It is not wasted talent at all - you use it to create beautiful things. ((Hugs))

Granite...I LOVE IT! so cool.
And you definitely don't waste your talent.
Sheesh.

Smack your father in the head with a hose.

Granite....

Absolutely amazing... Dont listen to them...what do they know.

right now it looks kind of bare but the plants will fill it in as they grow in about 4 weeks
