I don't like milk either... (none / 0)
I drink water with my sweets. Hahaha! My pet peeve is when people drive the speed limit...who the hell does that?

Interesting... (none / 0)
...but typical of the youth.  Mine would be the opposite.  You're driving the speed limit and the young woman in the car behind you tailgates you.  You look up in the rear view mirror, see her obviously frustrated face, wonder why she doesn't change lanes, and (being a bit of bastard) slow down just a bit!

It's another day in paradise...

Speeding (none / 0)
My rule is that it's always ok to drive 1-9 miles per hour over the speed limit (average about 5 or so) depending on where you are.  On the expressway, make it 10-15 depending on the circumstances. You know, if you're in the middle of some no-name place with no cars, why not 15 over?

But yes, I have no patience for tail-gaters, can't stand them.  I also have a problem with people who use their horns constantly. 


A horn should be used sparingly, like a strong spice.

Thanks for reminding me of the bumpersticker I am going to make:  I Brake for Tailgaters!

Because I do.

You obviously have never (none / 0)
gotten a speeding ticket because you are so young. You might change your tune once you do, they can cost you thousands of dollars depending on the state.

I've never had a speeding ticket (none / 0)
But I *did* have my car booted in Chicago.  It was a horrible experience, and too long to get into the whole story now.

I will say it was because of multiple "street cleaning" tickets.  The signs were easily a block away and not all that visible. Since I mostly walked or used the train, I managed to not see my car until it was too late and had a boot on it.

Ana has never had a speeding ticket because she's smokin' hot.

Water with baked goods? (none / 0)
Oh you poor thing.  You just don't realize how fresh basked chocolate chip cookies (or fresh baked any cookie, or pie or whatever) taste about 1,000 times better with a cold glass of milk.

Speaking of dairy products, I can't stand people who go to an ice cream parlor (or whatever you call them) and order a plain flavor, like vanilla, chocolate, etc.

It's tantamount to ordering a hamburger with no cheese or other toppings.  Thankfully God invented many delicious toppings and things to mix in ice cream, ranging from oreos to snickers and cheesecake and strawberry glaze to you name it (cookie dough and the list goes on and on).

Seriously, plain vanilla? Only acceptable to give context to how plain and boring it is, and or with a slice of warm pie, etc. 

BTW Ana, water is not as bad as orange juice.  Seriously, who drinks orange juice or soda with desert? That's just gross.
