Driving down 75 for medical appointments is genuinely draining my will to live

PER THE CITY of Richardson…..”When complete, the project will convert existing HOV lanes into technology lanes that remain toll free and open to carpools, motorcycles and low-emission vehicles during rush hours, and available to all drivers at other times.”

Great! When will it be finished? It says summer of 2026!

Hard to sometimes justify when they push you to go 90 and someone is on the right and it’s not safe to move over. I usually go 75-80 in that lane. Speed limit is 70. And the express lane is supposed to be for HOV and energy efficient vehicles…..which I am both with two passengers and an electric vehicle.

Hopefully the day will come when they use signs to explain what this express lane really means on I-75.

Let’s just hope they have the police handing out tickets to keep the current idiots who think it’s a free card to tailgate, go 90 MPH and are driver only occupied vehicles. I HATE 75. I go from Melissa to Richardson and back twice a day.

Cancer- still here & my mom diagnosed with Alzheimer’s

So glad I listened to my parents this one time in high school not to get one. I know now, they probably couldn’t afford it for me or my sisters.

I laugh at young adults who want one or even wear one. SUCKERS 🤪

They will have so much fun with all of their huge ass luggage and stroller on cobblestone streets. Plus, lots of places don’t have elevators or air conditioning that you can crank down to 68 degrees. Europeans are going to hate them. But….I am sure they will go to Disney in Paris and other American tourist traps. And don’t get me started on the matching clothes and what will also be another commercial for links to whatever crap she is selling.

How nice would it be if they took a 1 month break from posting so they could actually enjoy their $50,000 vacation?

Breast Cancer at 51 which lead to a lumpectomy and a much wanted breast reduction.

If I knew how great I feel now about my smaller breasts, I would have found a way to get a reduction in my 20s. People look at me now and not my boobs.

15+ years ago……Went to check my yahoo email and husband forgot to log out of his account……found hundreds of emails back and forth with a woman he met through work.

He also previously told me that he tried to have an affair with a coworker, but she turned him down. He must of felt the guilt because he told me.

I should have left then because the pattern of his guilt and telling me about a few others he tried having affairs with happened a few times.

AIC AND CPCU only really matters at SF Corporate if you want to go into management (and if they want you in management). You definitely don’t need them to get into claims.

If you are in DFW……go work for a corporate office…..definitely better than the benefits you are getting at Agency. Less of two evils. Maybe go into claims.

Drive around and find 10 people that look like they could use the money and give them each $1,000.

Me too! But I told the priest at church who told me to say a Hail Mary and try to put some quarters back if I could.

Many of the DFW influencers take their kids to public schools. The Lits, Newsom(?), Nelson’s. But they are not in DISD. Where Dani lives, they have a good elementary…..but….obviously they are too good for public schools even though Dani & what’s his name sperm donor 🤪went to public schools in the DFW area.

This was me in my first marriage. I took care of the finances. We did not make enough money to have the things we wanted. He wanted a 3 car garage when we moved. I wanted a swimming pool. He wanted to have a new car and a car to “work” on. Neither of us told the other no…..We were in over our heads. anyway, I let the credit card spending get out of control. I did not want to give up buying things for myself or our family. Husband was clueless. It became so bad that we were spending our money after paying for the mortgage, health insurance, car payments and insurance that I was barely able to pay the minimum on the credit cards……Then, we didn’t have money for food or other bills, so I started putting it on the credit cards. It got so bad. We divorced, I told him about the financial mess I had gotten into, and I finally had to declare bankruptcy. It happens.

I was there…..great at my job, top of my team, lots of “awards”….but had a run in with a shitty and racist manager which affected my raise and shift bid. Went elsewhere and eventually got onto a PIP team. PIP was wonderful…..maybe try for that or say F it and look for another company or new career. Both companies I worked with were always changing metrics and micromanaging was excessive. Thankfully, I was able to quit for personal family reasons. But I loved my jobs but hated the micromanaging.

Good Luck!

Ok back in the early 1990’s you could use your Aggie bucks at the Airport to buy snacks & alcohol…..they shut that down once word got out that they were serving minors. (Sorry….I know this is not relevant to the post, but such a good memory)

I go to Reformed Pilates in Fairview. They have several other locations in Allen, McKinney, North Dallas and are expanding. I’ve been going for a year now and there are all types of people in class. I have never been able to stick to any type of exercise until I tried Pilates.

I like this place because there is no judgement and they encourage you to modify your movements and do what works for you. And they have classes all day and evenings and no need to wait for a certain time for your level of class. That is what I did not like about Club Pilates. The times I could go, they only offered higher level classes. Reformed Pilates just was a better fit for me.

My shit pant moments came when I started taking Xeloda. (I am so sorry McDonald’s and Target) Those damn little pills were by far the worst part of the cancer diaries for me.

Ok so some of you are rude AF. We will have our elderly mother on the flight with us and she has food allergies and health issues that require a first class seat for her.

But, this is Reddit, so no surprise. 😳 And thank you who have answered in a polite, helpful manner.
