Do you need blinker fluid?



I know this is a subject we all have had at one point in our time span of driving a motor vehicle. Whether we use them or not, this is the question of the day: Do you need blinker fluid?


I know most will say that is a blonde joke, but this is getting ridiculous.

Driving home on Wednesday night I had not 2, not 5 but 10 people cut me off; coming into my lane or coming in from an on ramp that extends to another exit ramp.

Why do people refuse to use their blinkers while driving? I am not clairvoyant, I do not know where you are going and I have no idea you want in my lane without a warning. I will be more than happy to let you over into my lane, but for goodness sake, use your darn blinkers. For those who do not know where the blinker switch is, it’s connected to your steering wheel on the left side. It’s not there for decoration.




I am not patting myself on the back to say I am a great driver, (I am an occasional speeder) but I use my blinkers, (even to turn in to my driveway). Maybe this extends to my father and mother teaching me how to drive correctly or maybe I am a courteous driver, which ever the case may be, I use my blinkers.

Did the motor vehicle manufactures put them in our cars as an optional feature? No, they were meant to be used as our brake lights have a purpose. Brake lights are letting the driver behind you know they are either “A” slowing down, or “B” coming to a stop. So, why not use the blinkers? Laziness, talking on the cell phone (another pet pea of mine), stupidity or they don’t know they have one. So the purpose of the blinkers: You are moving into the left lane, right lane or turning onto another street or maybe a drive way. This is common since people, so why is it so hard to use them? Can anyone help me with this dilemma?


Now to be fare, as I have stated, I use my blinkers and there are people out there who want let me over. I assume these are the people who don’t use theirs because they don’t know what the blinking means. Maybe they think I have decorations on my car, you think?

Now thought of the day…….

What happens on September 17, 2006? Let’s think on this, hmmm. I remember, Dallas plays the Redskins, yeah that’s it. Now, why am I so excited about this? Oh yeah, I am a Dallas FAN. Now who has 4 tickets to the game? Oh yeah baby, ME!

(This is where I was to have a picture of my boys, but for the past 45 minutes I could not pull up, sorry)

Does this sound like I am bragging? No, not me, I would never in a million years brag that I am going and Cheryl, oops, (other people) can’t go. But then again, some people are going to the Alabama game and not watching their daughter play ball. Who you ask? I am not certain, but I read it somewhere today. Just playing (about the Alabama thingy).

Oh yeah!!!! I am so excited about this game for more reasons than I can count, but let’s just say, DALLAS BETTER BEAT THEM REDSKINS!!!!!!

I lived in D.C. for 10 years, and all I know is this is not the place to live and be a Dallas Fan. I was picked on, cussed at and made fun of. To all those people, (5, you see the number… 5, super bowls).

Maybe we have had some bad times, but I have stuck by these guys all the way. Do you know what the problem is? All teams have the same problems, but for some reason they have to pick on Dallas. Gary, no comment on that sentence is allowed. Every team has a player doing steroids or smoking pot. Having inappropriate parties and of course the wonderful life of female fans falling at their feet. Now I would never do that, not me. Anyway, Troy is gone, but I hear he has several car dealerships in the area. Hmm, I was thinking about trading in my truck…



But prior to the game, Saturday night, Wendi (best friend) and I are taking her boys to Medieval Times for some jousting and sword fights; can’t wait. I booked 4 seats for Royalty seating -- of course to experience eating with my hands and watching men fight for their fair princess. Now, to get them to see me and give me the fair rose at my royalty table, how would I contemplate that mission? Think on that and get back to me, ok?



I know people can hear me across a crowded room, (my charming voice), but I need more than that this time. They will be riding horses and trying to concentrate on winning the tournament. I know – When they come out for their ceremonial horse ride with their flags flying in the air, I will -- I will -- I will, oh crap, I don’t know what I will do. I have until Saturday to figure that one out.

Well, I have other things on my mind and I will wait to get them down this evening. Work calls to me like a nightingale calls to the night, but you can shut the window but you can’t shut the door, it makes people want you more…..

Have a wonderful day!!!!

GO ALABAMA

GET EM COWBOYS!!!! HEE HAW
