I agree with Vortex. I found the colors and logo soothing and lovely. And not girly, duh!
Whoa. Good myth.

it was freaking suburban. They are UNSAFE.
The Suburban has a five-star driver and front passenger safety rating and a three-star rollover rating. [link] It comes with a stability control system, which makes a big difference in correcting dangerous situations before they lead to a rollover, and side curtain first and second row airbags.
Smaller SUVs with a wheelbase of less than 100 inches actually have a higher propensity to roll over than the larger ones, but what really makes them unsafe is the driver who feels he/she is invulnerable in one. That leads to stupidity and otherwise-preventable accidents.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Beej--I agree with Vortex. I also suggest you take out "negative" habits, since that is implied--and even positive habits can have unhealthy effects.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Lillian!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Also to speak to the reasons this Suburban was involved in an accident: I believe the driver was evading a wrong-way automobile.
obligatory reminder: seatbelts, seatbelts, SEATBELTS

I wish I could get that through my mother's head. Even after my sister's accident, in which a seatbelt SAVED HER LIFE, she still won't wear it. I get weary of having the same argument with her every time we get into a car. I will not move until everyone is buckled up, including her. Unfortunately that means at least a 10-minute discussion.
Sorry. It's a sore spot with me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The only question/issue I have with the Bj, beej, is that in one instance the whole thing is lowercase, so the difference is a little jarring. Or something.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I had a classmate back in school who, not wearing a seatbelt, got thrown safely clear of a car that would have crushed him during the crumpling. he then took this as a sign that he should never wear one. Because if you've already had a one-in-a-hundred accident, you're so much more likely to have another one rather than the reglar kind that seatbelts help with. rolls eyes forever...
