Dangerous things do you do while driving? I no longer drive. and yes it SUCKS!

When...

Is it time to turn over a new leaf? NOW

Will you be all that you can be? probably never, but I keep trying.

Is enough enough? it should be, but usually isn't.

Are your pants? in the drawer where they are supposed to be.

Is your last will and testament? in our filing cabinet filed away.

Are there no seat belts on school buses? because the school systems are just dumb about it. I have asked myself that same question for years. makes no sense to me at all.

Would you...

Swim the English Channel for a doughnut and coffee? If not that, what? no way, and since I actually can't swim, I'd just be left out as usual. But , for, oh say $10.000.000.00 I would put on a life jacket and try.

Rather believe a lie if it hurt you less than the truth? no, I like knowing the truth, no matter how much it hurts.
