And I think there is a law in some states here, where if the passenger is not buckled up, the driver can get a ticket! Aargh! So you have to wear a seat belt in my car.

In Canada (at least in my province, anyway), the driver is only responsible for the fine if the person not wearing their seatbelt is a minor. Adults are expected to be smart enough to put on their own seatbelts, or else pay their own fines.

Thank you!

Congrats on the new apartment!

And my husband was kind of lucky, because he was driving in a straight line down the road at about 55 mph, and the kid turned left into him. My husband managed to swerve and only give the kid a glancing blow, taking out the whole front right quarter of our truck, but if he had hit the kid head-on, there would have been major injuries.

And he was not so lucky when he was 7 years old, and was hit by a car while crossing the street near his house. He still has a dent in his thigh where the car hit him.

Have any of you heard about this recently?



:huh: When I think about it - A lot of the 'luck' I've seen in my life involves vehicles of some sort.

I recall sitting in a stationary bus..And I saw in the far corner of the bus, a silly woman thinking about crossing the road..The bus started, the woman took a step out and the driver didn't see the woman, so she was just hit by the bus as it moved on.

It wasn't enough to injure her really, but from what I recall, I just remember seeing her and her friends quite shocked and angry at the bus driver - Who was oblivious.

Right now, after these weeks, I feel like my luck is draining everything at once.

I think I won a game, Mass Effect 2, special edition, online. Barely remember signing up.

And my life is going much better then I'd thought. Right now I guess I'm happy because of my ability to be able to stay up late and still wake up early, by myself, and still be able to do everything I'd like to. Wrote several pages in my favorite novell at the time, which is amazing - never write more then a few lines, at max half a page. And I'm even doing it good!

Actually found a new friend today, at work, and we discussed luck a bit. I do have a habit at finding money wherever I go... little coins on the ground. My boy doesn't like me, and neither did my friends, because I find something every other time I'm out. And sure, only ever one two things, but bot have been of much value to me. Still using the wireless keyboard and mouse I got...


But I will not think much about it, just appretiate it like hell. If I begun thinking sbout it, it might slip away...
