Now my sister has to hire a lawyer to get this woman and/or her insurance company to pay for any of this. The woman's stance is that she did nothing wrong, because she had the green light. By definition, my sister had the green light too, and pedestrians have the right of way.
This is INSANE. Crazytalk. Total crazytalk. I have hit a person before (and it genuinely wasn’t my fault…actually, he kind of hit me…was running across the street, not at a crosswalk, and slammed into the side of my car). I was terrified and mortified and thought I’d killed someone. He got up and walked away with no injuries, amazingly enough, but I was terrified for him. How does someone get off acting like that? That’s not human! I’m so sorry your sister has to deal with that insanity. Fortunately, it should be pretty clear, pretty fast that the other woman has MAJORLY fucked up.
In other news, I'm back from a lovely evening with family flea, in the course of which I learned the following:
Oh, goodness. That’s just priceless.
I had a lovely evening, where I was totally spoiled by the people at my favorite quilt shop. Because they love me far more than they should, and they felt badly that I had a mini-meltdown this morning while trying to find my evidence (stamps in a “passport”) of how much of a percentage I was to receive off at the private sale tonight, they gave me the highest percentage I could have had off, even though I didn’t have the evidence of that (and, actually, even told them I wouldn’t have gotten that much off) (and yes, I think that’s the longest totally non-sense-making sentence I’ve ever written). So, I bought ten yards of fabulous purple minky fabric for 36% off. Now, I cannot even begin to describe to you what a steal this is. This shit is $20 a yard. And is the softest fabric known to mankind. I’m so very, very pleased, and feel so very loved and spoiled.
I think even if you hit a jaywalker YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE for hitting them.

Exactly. What is it with people?
vw, you deserve to feel that loved. Every Bitch deserves to feel that loved all the time. People love you, and you are worth it.
ETA: recovery~ma for Ginger's sister. I can't really say anything helpful other than that. Other people are saying the outrage better than I can.
Ginger, count me in with the folks who are totally boggling at why this is even an issue. Pedestrian = king.
Tonight our cat, Miss Kitty - the wussiest cat evah - brought DH a dead mouse and demanded adolation. The "good" part, DH knows for certain that she brought the mouse in from outside.
Is it the weekend yet?
Heh, I wish I could say the same about the mouse I found presented for my approval yesterday. Alas, it was one that snuck in somehow and Elliott left on the dining room floor for me. I gave him a good petting to let him know I appreciate his efforts. Although, I'm hoping I won't have to do it again. I've been mouse free for a number of months, so I hope it goes back to that.
I vaguely remember something - but can find no backup , so never mind.
D'er--Jilli, it turns out it was mytights.com after all. I had to retrace my steps--it was a search to see how much silk stockings cost (answer=a metric fuckload) that took my there. They have some really nice stuff.
Thanks for the socks link, Raq. I'm looking for something simpler than that, since I just want to wear them with my mary janes. Sock Dreams looked like it had potential, but then they were out of stock in the simple ones in white.
I suspect they're not hard to find online--I just haven't made it there yet. Possibly this is all a sign to stop dressing like lamb, but I don't quite care yet.
I think that even if you hit a person who was walking on the sidewalk, you are responsible.
