I feel your pain cupcake!! I had to come off Bell and cut through the Post Office parking lot to get my daughter to school the other day, otherwise it would be a long haul round trying to find a street that isnt closed or torn up otherwise she would be late for school and we left in plenty of time too!!! grrrr!!!!

If only gas would drop below $3 I might drive out too, but so long as it stays up I am conserving as much as possible. Why is it that in other places in the country it is below $3 but not here?? Are we being ripped off at the pump??

Well yes those speed limits would suck!! I witnessed an idiot coming down Greenway right before it goes to one lane either way, right before the 303, he didnt want to slow down and slide in behind the vehicle infront of him so he overtakes in the center median (inbetween the double yellow lines then cuts right back in, meanwhile throwing up all the dust and rocks and crap that collects in the middle at my freakin car, grrrrrrrrr.

Then this morning this woman who must be smoking or drinking something was in the left lane at the lights (not the left turn lane), we were sat there at a red and she swung out infront of the car sat in the left turn lane and continued with her left turn all wheels screeching on a red, didnt get her license plate #!!! What is going on?? grrrrrrrrrrr. Oh and she had been infront of me in the High School parking lot just dropping off her kids, that was after cutting me off in the first place. grrrrrrrrr LOL

no kidding my friend :0) When can we declare Open Season?????

LOL yep but its cooling off so nearly time to wind those windows down!!! I came very close to flipping these jerks off yesterday, but restrained myself because you never know how crazy these people are. Its funny to take the mick out of idiots though, my daughter laughs at me when some dont indicate and I am saying 'Indicators are optional' (sarcastically) or a good ole game of playing guessing games, apparantly stop means go to some LOLOL, honestly I fear to take my kids on the road these days!! With that time to get ready for work, stay safe and have a great day. How is your son btw??

I used to go to the races every year. I would fight the traffic going in and then wait three hours after the race to leave. I don't miss sitting in the metal bleachers packed in like a sardine and leaving looking like a lobster. Even 80 degrees is hot when you're in a metal can. I have an idea that works now. I stay home in the A/C watch the TV and eat lobster dip.

I'm surprised you can say "traffic" and "engineers" in the same sentence and keep a straight face!

dhw1949- Where did you live in Oregon? I grew up here and moved to Medford in 98, hated it, I finally convinced my husband to sell our house and come back in 2006.

I didn't like Medford, because it was stagnant, with no possible opportunities. The people there have a weird small town mentality. I was extremely bored, and now I keep myself busy, busy, busy… I liked the Portland area; “the grass is always greener on the other side.” So I thought! When you lived there did you see the signs that said, "Welcome to Oregon enjoy your visit?"

I don't miss it either. It was the longest visit I ever encountered. Right after we bought our house here in Chandler, I had a nightmare that I was house shopping there. I was relieved when I woke up.
