People that are enraged by people backing up to park are likely to be enraged by folks backing out of a stall. Mostly it's not the people backing up, it's the person waiting whose spirit is so ornery that they'll consider the act of backing up a personal affront. |

I love paper because I used to work with the stuff. I like to check out a paper's weight, stiffness, grain direction, and surface texture. If I come across a fine sheet of paper, I'll examine it carefully. That's just a strange thing that I do. One of many I guess. |

OK, but one call to her insurance got me fixed and paid. I had that happen to me recently. I pulled out of a space and was startled to see a car backing up on the rear fender of my car. I honked my horn but the guy wasn't listening. That's certainly a helpless feeling. I was like a deer in the headlights. He just tapped me little. A love tap. |

He just didn't like the idea of an accident on his insurance record, correct? As far as someone thinking I'm wasting their time because they have to wait 45 seconds for me to back in there is a solution for that annoyance. Be there when the doors open first thing in the morning or shop at 2:00 a.m. Problem solved!! |

Cost me more to drive to the library Yes, I believe it was Cindy who first told me, but I've seen others mention it since. A great place that I use often. I like the fact that you can set up what kind of books you want to read and it comes in the email every day. Cheri |

My vision is typically limited because my car is set kind of low compared to all the trucks and SUVs out here. This is a big problem when pulling out of diagonal parking spaces. I can't see nothing until I'm half way out. Straight parking spaces that are wide are easier to pull out of. If I see that backing out of a parking space could be a problem, I'll back into it. I do this instinctively, evidently. |

We had the driveway sealed so left the cars in the street for a day. The guy across the street backed right into the driver's side door. Even though he wasn't going fast, it was a hassle getting it fixed, I wish he would have hit the rear fender instead. Not a great way to meet the new neighbors.

We didn't bring it back to be fixed by him, would have had to rent a car blah blah. And drive it around with a dent? Hahahahaha! That's funny, I should tell Ron that one for a laugh. Mr Perfection driving a dented car. Good one. >> Not a great way to meet the new neighbors. I know he was crushed to >> ring the doorbell with that news. > > He's a good neighbor in spite of himself.

I feel kind of bad about it because where Ron put it first, I thought it would be in the way of the driveway guys so he moved to across from the guy's driveway. I wanted to say Not there, bad idea ... but I didn't. Ooops. nancy |

I also don't stick too hard to a shopping list. What I do is get 500$ worth major load every 6 weeks then in the 3 week timeframe middle of that, another 150$ (fresh veggies and such). Now since i am feeding 3, at 36$ a week each that isn't all that is going on. I use other stores for fresh asian veggies and fresh fish. We average a bit over 50$ a week per adult here when you add in the other bits. |

I have to say that I do not see many backing it. The smartest move is drive in and drive out. That is what I do if I can. I do see lots of vehicles parked nose out, but don't know if they drove in or backed in. |

If I don't think I'll need access to the back of the vehicle, and if it's convenient, I'll pull through as well. My algorithm for parking is to pick the aisle closest to the door (ours almost universally run perpendicular to the front of the building), and drive down it until I come to the first open space ("down" being "away from the building"). I don't actually see people backing in all that often. They seem to have enough trouble lining it up when they park nose-in. Cindy Hamilton |

My son was out on our car one night and got rear ended while making a left turn. The guy claimed he had not signalled his turn, contrary to what independent witnesses said. He then tried to get my son charged for not producing the insurance. It was there, but he could not find it. The cop said told the guy that he would not even need to produce the insurance had he (other driver) not been driving like and idiot. He later told the guy to keep talking and he would keep writing. As it turned out, this guy was insured by Pafco, a last chance insurance company for bad drivers. He called me up and wanted to work out a deal. He did not want to go through his insurance company. He had a buddy who worked in the body shop of a trucking company who would do the work on weekends. Yeah right, I was going to give up my car for 3-4 weekends so his buddy could safe him some money.... after crashing into the car my son was driving, lying about what happened and trying to have him charged. No way. > |

If given the opportunity I will pull through but won't hesitate to back in. |

Could be halfway through it, doesn't matter. I have never had to wait so long as to need another book. I don't care how anyone reads their books. I think reading is important. I also have always found it very enjoyable. Jill |

Went in and was attended to immediately. So while the man does my toe nails, I read my book rather than watching the rubbish television. The other thing I particularly like about an ereader is I can keep poetry on it for those times I would like to read that. Yes, I do read a book at a time, from cover to cover, then move on to the next, having so many available does not mean I skip around between them. I don't know why you assumed I 'bounced' around between books. Maybe you need to try an ereader and find out the benefits. Plus, think of all the trees it saves. |
