Mine today was not so funny. Our post office has a narrow lane to drop mail into boxes with protruding chutes. There is a lane (with a STOP sign) that merges into the lane. As I was going in, a lady with the cell phone to her ear ran the stop sign to get in front of me--no big deal. She was so involved with her conversation evidently that she took off her side mirror on the protruding chute of the first mailbox, giving it a nice scar of white paint and a new dent. She rolled down her window, deposited her mail and kept going--cell phone still on the ear and mirror now dangling. I sure hope that call was important!
As of July 1st, it's illegal here to drive while phoning without a handsfree headset. The judges have been showing no mercy on repealing tickets.

While I can see not banning phones from cars entirely I do suspect we are moving in that direction due to irresponsible handling of them. Already in parts of Florida it is illegal to have a laptop turned on in the front seat. Throughout Florida it is illegal to have an open alcohol bottle or can in the car (even in the trunk). In our area some restaurants now will recork and seal the rest of your bottle of wine from dinner because guests were not ordering whole bottles if they only wanted one glass of a wine the establishment did not sell by the glass.
It's already illegal in Jersey to drive without a "hands-free" device. It must be a year already that they've had that law in effect.
Personally I am not even sure that "hands-free" is safe for a number of drivers. While I have my phone in the car (it is not hands free) I don't answer it in traffic, though I will sneak a peek at who called when I am stopped at a light and if it is important will find a place to park and call back. Usually I just call from the lot of my next shop before going in.
Yeah, illegal here too....not that Ive seen it help any. Texting and driving...I am all for that though!
Yes, the diet thing. She has now lost over 160 lbs, totally natural and on the advice of Dr. Oz. She will be on his show I think next month. The hubby is going to NY with her (yay for me!). I totally idolize her and wish I wasnt such a foodie so I could make a few changes in the thinner direction.
I thought Breastfeeding was supposed to help....Soli, help me!!

I loooooved breastfeeding because I could eat anything/everything and not stack on any pounds! Quarts of wonderful chocolate milk that was available locally (had to have a lot of agar in it because it was as smooth and creamy as melted ice cream), peanut butter and banana sandwiches, mounds of mashed potatoes made with sour cream and lots of butter, if it was deep fried I was there!
Of course there's my famous goat incident at the zoo, or when I caught the fallout from a garbage truck and ended up taking apart a sink drain at a restaurant. Of course there's the time that looking at one stroller on a Babies R Us shop resulted in the entire display flying off the shelf. But then there's the time that no one offered me a cart in a store while I carried a toilet around so I finally left it set up in a fitting room. Maybe you're referring to the 6'8" Somalian transvestite with the beard who tried to give my husband fashion advice?

I breastfed both my babies, albeit a couple of years apart. I didn't get to eat to my heart's content. A mommy to twins must receive double the benefit (hard-earned, I'm sure).

Unfortunately one would not breast feed, The milk came to fast for him to swallow so he would panic. For a while I put it in a bottle for him, but he already had enough problems putting on weight that we got him started on solids very early because that caused less panic with the feeding process--both for him and for anyone feeding him. But even feeding just one I could shovel it down without ramifications. A week after delivery I weighed close to 40 pounds less than pre-pregnancy because for the first 5 months I kept hardly anything down and then I was having so much problem with retaining fluids that they were afraid I would go toxic, so put me on a very restricted and unappealing diet. (Tried any salt free bread lately? That was about the tastiest part of my allowed foods!) So I was only too happy to go back to 'real foods' and 'comfort foods' and self indulgent foods.
