Happy Birthday, Cass!!!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Cyclists not riding on sidewalks makes me nuts
Riding on sidewalks or not riding on sidewalks. It pisses me off when they do ride on the sidewalk, for the most part.

Sorry, that's what I meant! They've got "walk" right in the word, not "ride!"

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Random pet peeve - people who open a door and don't check to see if anyone's behind them and needs it held. RUDE.
And another - we just got a new voicemail system and now there aren't "new" messages, there are "unread" messages. WTFF?

Really you need to consider yourself to be part of traffic and take your lane. Unfortunately too many drivers are ignorant of the fact that bicyclists have the right to do this.
This is the thing. And here I go sounding like my grandmother but really, when I was young, we were taught that a bicycle is a vehicle and must adhere to the appropriate laws and behaviors.
I want to sue for breach of the social contract.
I swear, we are all going to hell in a flaming handbasket...but then, Nature willl win, so shrug.

Connie, I'm sorry to hear about the accident.
Happy birthdays to Cass and to everyone else I've missed!
It took a certain someone in the end of one of my classes today a while to let go of my presence. About 30 minutes, to be exact, of "wait, where are you going now? Come with us! Stick around for a little bit longer!", as if I'm a kind of a safety blanket. I don't think he wants me or anything like it, but I was all melt by the "awww, he must be really liking me!" feeling. So yeah, yay for good guys, too.
BTW - if anyone here doesn't know, here is my Twitter account: [link] I'll still update there during the great gray-out.

What scares me - not for myself - are the parents who are bicycling in rush hour traffic with a child in a little trailer thing hitched to the back of their cycle. The kid's invisible to drivers. argh

also, when you hold the door for someone and they just walk through without touching the door, forcing you to stand there while they continue on their way.

Oh man, I was on a trail in DC and this woman had her kid attached to the back of her bike with, like, the equivalent of a bungie cord and the kid was weaving all over the trail. And there were a million people on it AND the mom had saddle bags on her bike so she couldn't see him at all. NIGHTMARE! I've never been so glad to pass someone in my life. Once I had a chance to which was after we went over a footbridge with me right behind that scenario. Good thing I can ride my bike at approx .2 miles per hour.
