What I’ve Learned In 61 Years Part 8

If you must drive 10 miles under the speed limit, and get in your lane, it’s called the slow lane.

Whatever the speed limit is except in school zones you can safely drive five miles over the limit. What cop has time to stop you for five miles over?

If a cop is driving in front of you that doesn’t mean you have to slow down by 10 miles an hour. Once you pass the jacklegs on the road, drive at your normal speed, no more than five miles over the limit. If you have a broken tail light, expired tags, or smoking pot out the window, I would stay far behind the cop. They may make your day.

If you are pushing a baby cart, you don’t have the right to walk without looking around and cutting people off, especially those who depend on walking aids. Motherhood is great, but you’re not that important.

If you leave the house with a horrible cough put a mask on, not doing so is rude. Do you want someone to make your family sick?

Leaving verbal reminders on your phone while waiting in the doctor’s office is as annoying as listening to you talk on the phone. If you have to do something with yourself while waiting, step outside the building and talk all you want.

My patience is tested when older people think waiting for the doctor is the time to call all their family members to catch up. Go outside or save for the afternoon when you have nothing to do.

If we have to wait more than 30 minutes for our appointments, we should be paid for our time, and the front desk needs to ask us politely if we would like to reschedule. I don’t care that your computer system has been down for two hours, that’s not my problem, it’s yours. My Orthopedic doctor’s practice has had major issues with the new system since September. What about training? What is their tech support doing?

If you don’t love each other enough to get married, you don’t love each other enough to have a baby.

If you don’t love yourself, you don’t have enough love to have a baby. Having a baby will not fill the void inside.

If you’re engaged for multiple years, what are you waiting for? Are you taking a test drive?

This post is meant to be fun, I’m just sharing my opinions. If you disagree with something I say that’s cool, we all have our opinions. I’m not trying to make my opinion yours and I don’t want you to try to change mine. It’s a free world, we still have free speech.
