Casa Sosegad

1. Driving on a road crowded with cars and the car in front of me is driving too slowly while the car at the side of me is keeping pace with me instead of slowing down or speeding up so I can overtake the moron in front of me!
2. People who don’t use their turn signal when turning, merging or changing lanes especially in heavy traffic.
3. People who keep their turn signal on indefinitely… I always make way for people who turn on their signal light and this irritates me no end!
4. People who constantly brake, sometimes even when there’s no one in front of them!
5. People driving slowly in the fast lane. They don’t care that the average driver is in this lanes is 20 mph faster than them, they just cruise along oblivious at their own pace!
6. Drivers who weave through traffic to gain one or two car lengths. These people will cut off other drivers, change lanes with abandon weaving through traffic with abandon for what? All they achieve is arriving at the next red light 10 seconds before you do.
7. Distracted drivers talking on cell phones. They’re so busy chatting on the phone or checking their email or whatever…. they don’t realise their drifting into other lanes!
8. Women applying makeup and men shaving! You don’t have a mirror at home? That mirror in you car is to watch the cars behind you… they were not designed for personal grooming!
9. People who feel it necessary to vent their road rage on you! This may be through gestures (the finger) or shouting obsenities at you through their open window.
10. Motorcyclists and cars who use the shoulder as a road.
11. Tailgaters! I am not a slow driver… I am usually more than 10 mph above the speed limit (except in residential and crowded areas) and will change lanes asap when possible so if you’re tailgating me…. you have to be a reckless driver!
12. Drivers who sit in the right turn only lane at the red light and don’t turn right even though they have an open road!
13. Bad mergers…. this goes out to those that don’t merge in properly…they don’t wait their turn… they want to cut in front of you even though you already allowed a couple of cars in and to those that think allowing a car to merge in front of them is going to lead to catastrophe!

Here’s a recent picture of my dad and mom with my youngest sis. It was taken this year.

It’s amazing how prices of normal everyday commoditities have sky rocketed… We do most of our shopping in Costco and just a year ago a bunch of bananas cost 99 cents, now they are a dollar and thirty cents… So, I though I would list a few commodities and their prices… I wonder how they compare with the rest of the country?! So, if you read this, please go ahead and post your area/state, and the prices there. We live in Northern Virginia. It’s amazing how expensive your grocery bill can be nowadays and we don’t usually have snacks, fast foods or junk food in our cart either…
