No driving test?!? I would have been even more of a menace on the roads than I was.
Right. Sir. Honey.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Did someone sign you up for Beefcake of the Month?
He is my landscaper and he's about to lay a concrete walkway, and it's very hot.
That said, if she's 18 she may just need to study the rules (no class needed) and ...isn't there anyone else who knows her and would let her learn on a rural road somewhere with no traffic??
That's what she's decided to do (for now): study the rules and then just get in her mom's old car and figure it out. She has no idea how hard this is going to be for her. She's prone to screaming meltdowns when frustrated. I think her mom is not going to agree to let her "just figure it out" on her old manual Subaru.
I need to step away and stop trying to help, but it's hard to listen to my BFF having her own little meltdowns over what to do with her problem child.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. He's laying your walkway. Huh huh huh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. He's laying your walkway. Huh huh huh.
Layin that hard, hard concrete.

Heh.
Oh, lord, "just figure out" a manual transmission . . . Shudder.

Always Anti-fascist!
I do support people looking out for each other, but the problems are just too big for that to be enough.(also, I have a house payment *every* month, not just when someone like Tep's brother feels guilty at Christmas, right? Not to single out your brother.) "they said 'laid" huh huh huh.

If you screw up in a car you could die. Why don't they have driving instructors?

No high schools in this area offer drivers Ed anymore, you have to take it on your own.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can't make "lay that hard concrete" jokes about the guy who's right outside!
...he's fine as hell though
...and he's bending over with his butt toward the window. If I were into that sort of thing, I'd be having me some nice fantasies right about now.
But instead I'm me, and all I'm thinking about is how sweaty he is, and maybe I should take him some water?

If it were a porno, you'd go out in just a sports bra and Daisy Dukes, with a pitcher of cold water. Or you could just be you and be nice and take him the pitcher of cold water anyway.
