It's just a stupid statistic comment. Those school buses do contain
children going to school. There are not 127 school buses driving around
filled with straws. A worthless "apples and oranges" comment.

And people are gainfully employed making those straws. No school bus
drivers necessary.

It was a stupid, mixed metaphor.

I believe we could do with a lot fewer straws. I took great pains to
learn to drink from an actual cup. Why do so many adults still use
a straw? It's just like using a "sippy cup".

Granted, they're useful, for example, in hospitals when someone
is holding the cup for you, or you can't coordinate all of those
familiar actions yourself.

If I had a nickel for every time I've gotten a straw in a restaurant
and just pushed it aside, I could retire. It happened just last weekend
at our nearby Thai place.

well you know there are those empty school buses going out to pick up
the first set of kids -- they could be used to transport straws -- seems
wasteful just to be driving empty school buses around

Good thought! They could take straws AND kids to school all in one bus.

Hey! I used to do that too. Now I just skip the straw. My frozen food

air out. I buy food to freeze and go through it in a very short time.
Vacuum packaging not necessary here.

Straws were fun when I was a kid, but I have grown up. I hate those
silly little straws they put in drinks in bars. They may be handy for
drinking milkshakes, but I have not had one of those in years. I had
to buy some straws last year when my wife had retinal surgery and had to
keep her head facing down for 10 days.

Sure. The next time you are served a drink with a straw don't use it.
Better yet. Send the drink back.

I kinda doubt it. Most retailers are loathe to give out anything,
anymore. I noticed almost 20 yrs ago, restos, fast food joints, etc,
did NOT give one all that junk. Hadda ask for more than one wimpy
napkin, hadda go up to the drink station and get a straw from the
straw dispenser. Drive-thrus were even worse. Hadda ask for more dipping
suace for more than 2 'nuggets'. Heck, now that I'm here in CO, some
mom/pop retailers use recycled plastic bags. Yeah!

Amen.

Let them walk at least a short distance. I have been stuck behind school
buses a few times and it is exasperating. I have been stuck behind them
in the morning when the bus stops, lights flashing and stop arm out...
no kid. The bus sits there, holding up traffic. Then some kid finally
comes out of the house, dawdles up the the bus, to a seat, sits down.
The bus finally turns off its lights, starts to move. It goes two
driveways down the road and the slow process starts all over again.

It is just as bad in the afternoon. The bus stops and sits there with
the lights flashing. You sit there and watch, and nothing is happening.
After a minute or two one of the kids at the back gets up heads to the
front, stopping to talk to more people along the way. Finally, the
lights go off and the bus starts rolling, but then it stops two or three
driveways later and the whole process is repeated.

If I ran the world the buses would stick to a schedule and the kids
would be standing by the side of the road waiting for the bus. No
kids... no stop. On the afternoon run the bus would stop at the
designated place and if there was no movement from the back of the bus
within 10 seconds, the lights would go off and the bus would start
moving again. I am pretty sure that it would take only a couple missed
buses or missed stops and the little darlings would learn to to be out
there on time and to get off at their stops.

The other scenario is the kid in the car. It is 65 degrees, sun is
shining, but mom pulls the car 75 feet down to the road while junior
sits in comfort until the bus comes. After he dawdles out to the bus,
mom backs up to the house again.

Sounds like a plan.

I ask for a straw with drinks with ice in them so I can guide the freezing liquid
past my front teeth which are really sensitive to cold. I refuse to apologize
for my use of straws. I seldom eat out, anyway.

No need to apologize. Your situation falls under my general rubric
of "has a medical need". I used a hospital situation only for illustrative
purposes. It's the one I'm most familiar with.

As a hypothetical, if you were in a restaurant and the general policy was
"only provide straws if the customer asks for them", would that bother
you?

Cindy Hamilton

Cindy, no, I always ask for a straw just in case they don't bring one.
But if I were eating at some five-star place, I likely wouldn't need ice
water, I would have plenty of wine, so wouldn't need to ask. ;-))

Yep..that new one too.

Geico has the best advertising agency ever. I always wonder though if
all that massive advertising really pays off? I enjoy their commercials
yet I'm never tempted to switch my insurance to Geico. I actually did
use them for years until I found cheaper all around insurance

I used them before they were known as Gieco. it was Government
Employees Insurance Company. I was 17 at the time and they were the
cheapest.

Couple f years ago i checked them out as well as Progressive. They were
slightly cheaper, not enough to leave the good agency I'd used for about
25 years. Not to save $25.

I read an artical recently that said plastic drinking straws are a
major polluter.
https://www.kcet.org/redefine/cut-do...o-straw-please
I think people who want drinking straws should provide their own, then
they'd be apt to reuse them several times. As a kid there were
plastic fun straws with various comic book themes:

Mostly it's an example of people that have too much time on their hands and feel the need to express their outrage at something - it doesn't really matter what. Just any little thing will do. Hey wait a minute, doesn't that sound familiar?

The *best* Geico commercial is the Horror Story version:

I like the variety of both the Geico and Progressive commercials, but right now,
Lowe's has the best: the refrigerator giraffe, the Father's Day "gift" pencil holder,
the scarlet parrot stuffed dog toy, the mermaid with the "shell" phone, the laundry
room kangaroo, and the dolphin soap container...garden frog, and flamingo and
the "tiny little legs" unicorn...all imaginative and entertaining.

I have never seen a bus stop and wait for a child who is late. When we rode
the bus in grade school, if we missed it, too bad.

That's the way it should be. It is certainly the way it was when my son
was in highschool and missed the bus a few times. They would pull up,
open the doors and if he wasn't on his way out they left. I never
complained.

Things are different these days. When parents are upset they go to the
media and their elected officials and to social media. A few years
back the crap hit the fan when there was a missing kid and he was found
hours later sleeping in the back of his school bus. Local boards and
bus companies now have a policy about having a flag at the back of the
bus that the driver has to go and hang after walking back and checking
for kids. In that case the parents were demanding the heads of everyone
involved.... except the parents who were not making sure that their
little darling was getting enough sleep that he could stay awake long
enough to get off the bus. It's not like it was a 5 hour trip.

I always walked to school. In grade school it was about 1/3 mile,
there were crossing guards. In JHS it was a little over 1/2 mile, no
crossing guards but I was a crossing guard for the grade school kids,
I still have the badge. In HS it was a little over 2 miles. We were
given passes for the subway but only the sissies/faggots took the
train... the rest of us walked and played grab ass feeling up the
girls so the trip went quickly... the girls liked the attention or
they would have taken the train. There were no sex ed classes back
then, wasn't invented yet, sex ed was learned in the streets. But
among classmates sex ed was above the waist... occasionally a girl got
knocked up but it was found out later it was by a family member, an
older brother or an uncle. Normal guys were very happy making out and
getting a little titty, or occasionally some dry humping. Back then a
girl thought having sex was a hicky on her neck. LOL
