#saturdayff on a Friday. I've been pulled over at least 5 times in my life without getting a ticket. Most recently, last night. On the way home from the bar...
I see the flashing red lights in my rear view. I'm going 85, so naturally I curse myself and pull off the freeway. Cop comes up to the window and asks the normal questions. Then, he asks me to get out of the car!

I ain't ever been field tested so I'm nervous as shit. Of course I had been drinking, but it had been hours before. I knew I could pass the little tests they give but I was concerned about the breathalizer. Fortunately I only blew a .03. So I was in the clear. Then he let me go without a speeding ticket! Thank you, Mr. Officer, happy birthday to me.

Wow! Glad you didn't get a DUI or a ticket.

I was surprised he asked me to get out of the car. I wasn't driving crazy, just a little fast.

I plan to do something fun or I will go somewhere with a patio and wifi. I try to do at least 2 fun things a week or it'll just be me and Adrian staring at each other all day.
- Anika
What kind of "fun things" have you done in the past?
- chrisofspades
I go to museum exhibits or check out a speaker at the local university or art galleries. I'll go do a gardening class or select an area of town to photograph/observe. Sometimes, I'll just go for a run or hike or take a yoga or zumba class.

About 80% of my days are spent at home. I attend a weekly sangha at the local meditation center. I walk a lot, especially when the weather is nice. I have a weekly dinner date with a close friend and her family in exchange for tutoring her daughter. I try to hit up events happening close by that matter to me.

Extended dog walks. Working from a café, when it's possible. Spending at least some days in a co-working space. I love to go to vernissages, art festivals and the movies.

Do they keep goaltending stats? JaVale McGee would definitely be the leader.
#saturdayff My family has a tradition of visiting our deceased the week before Easter, Mother's Day, and Christmas. Naturally that includes my mother. I hate these visits because they are so impersonal...we just hop from grave to grave, drop off some flowers and that's it.
I feel like I'm doing a disservice to my mom, since that is those are the only times I see her. Yet I feel obligated to go every time my grandparents ask.
- chrisofspades
I don't know. Going from my experience and relationship with my mother, I'm going to guess that your mother would appreciate that you still honor the tradition and respect your grandparents enough to take the time to do as they ask. Though she doesn't like to think about a time when she won't be around, my mother does sometimes ask if I'll still go to El Salvador alone or keep in touch...

I walked into the ladies room on accident. Oops. Luckily noone was in there.
Well, at least it wasn't a matter of being so drunk that you peed in the trash receptacle and then hollered at some poor woman to "get out of the men's room".

One of my favorite nights was when I was playing the front room at a party and there was a wet t-shirt contest going on in the back so I put on a track that's literally 60 minutes of the note of C being played so I could go watch since it was mostly friends of mine doing it. Then again, I often did whatever I could to clear a room just to do it.

Akiva, if there was a wet tshirt contest here I'd know it. This DJ has no such excuse.

I made my daughter go to sleep early tonight because I caught her in a lie. I heard her crying in bed some time later, but I didn't check to see why. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being cruel by allowing her to cry like that without even acknowledging it.
What you can do is walk in to check on her after some time and provide comfort. But talk to her about why she was sent to bed early so she learns and understands. Or talk about it the next day. *hugs*

Thanks Z. I did talk to her about the reasons why before I put her in bed.
- chrisofspades
I can understand feeling like you're being cruel. But, in my opinion, sometimes tough love is the best love a parent can give. I forget how old she is so I'll put that disclaimer out there. At a certain age, though, I think it's okay to allow a child to feel down and give her the opportunity to self-soothe and think through the consequences of her actions. I'd be more inclined to talk...

I go to Patricia for parenting advice, so she knows what's up.

I felt it. I'm so used to the floor shaking at work that I thought nothing of it...until I remembered I was on the ground floor not the second floor where the shaking happens
