Random Thoughts Part 4 - Split Thread

[Lisa!]

I just had a car accident [another one]. Luckily no one got hurt.

Sorry to hear that but I think you should not give up so easily!

I agree. It wasn't until my son's fourth car that he had to renew his license plates. His first three cars each lasted less than a year due to car wrecks (not all his fault). Since then, he's gone over five years without a wreck.

 

[Medicol]

Yes, it's not time that you gave up

Sorry to hear it . Glad to hear no one was hurt, too.

Is there a pattern to these accidents? Like, time of day, weather, speed, etc.?

Thanks all. The other driver got a ticket for speeding in a neighborhood area. The weather didn't help either.

Better step back from the edge, we don't want to see a dizzy drizzel but seriously, sometimes things going on in ones life can have an affect on how aware one is about little things around them. PLEASE be careful, you might not need to give up on driving :(

Thanks RonL. It's just stressful. Funny enough I love driving on the highway...

I feel the same and I really don't like to drive at night.:)

 

[OmCheeto]

I probably need to consider not driving for real...

Don't give up. Get one of these:

Lol Om, ironically my car [a BMW :D] totally stopped before anything happened and the other car slipped towards me.

My shoulder and neck still hurt :/

Lol because I had a car accident?!

I love tomato juice. I stumbled upon a spicy tomato juice at the supermarket the other day, I LOVE IT! *heart*

So then you definitely are a Muslim man. Medicol was right!

I'm only afraid American patriots on PF will not like you then.

I know it doesn't matter much to all of you, as it is is quite local, Polish thing, but today is The Grand Finale of the 2015 edition of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Orchestra_of_Christmas_Charity. In a last few years it attracted a lot of criticism and hate from the right side, which made me create a facebook event "I will pay twice as much to counteract haters" - https://www.facebook.com/events/775949472479753

It collected 6.5k supporters in a week. Not a bad result :)

Thanks to PF I now know how to find hidden messages :D It's a funny bunny thing

But why does it call itself "Orchestra" when it doesn't seem to involve an orchestra?

I don't think there is a serious reason behind.

Basic idea of The Finale is that many bands play in many places in Poland. Every kind of band - occasionally including symphonic orchestras. So you can think about it as if it was an orchestra of individual bands (could be it doesn't make much sense in English).

What is perhaps more important is that the name was established many years ago, it wasn't as large then. I think first edition ended with a single concert in Warsaw. And the name was invented by Jerzy Owsiak - he is slightly nutty sometimes ;)

Nice profile pic. This like from Mark Widmer say's a lot too.

From that angle, your blue hair does not show.

The word "avuncular" , meaning uncle-like has always seemed artificial to me; I have never heard someone say
something like : Do you know Tom from accounting? Doesn't he come off as being an uncle ?

Uncle Tom?

It sounds medical to me: "Fmri revealed a distal avuncular perimortem contusion."

Meanwhile in Detroit - Granny Rambo. :w

The grandmother of four, Paris Ainsworth, was actually shot four times, but she was still able to pull out her gun and return fire.

Those remind me of a really old song.

I'm sure I've heard it somewhere along the way but it's not a common word. I think I've heard it in reference to Larry King.

As words go, I don't like it. It sounds too much like carbuncle (another word we don't hear much since the discovery of antibiotics, thankfully!).

 

[Medicol]

Unfair!
I'll quit!

Time to think about raising goats - for fun and profit.
