that sounds like PA drivers. in the rain, freezing rain, or snow. it's always fun when that happens here. XD

SparX - pull over and wait for a storm to end? wow, that's.... not done here either. unless, of course, it IS a torrential downpour, and you don't have to be somewhere at a certain time. i have pulled over maybe...once?

we don't stop when it rains here, only when it floods xD

I haven't driven/sat in a car in PA enough yet, so I have no opinion on this. (I commute by bus or by foot in Pittsburgh.)

yeah, i would imagine it's different when you're not in a car.... i've always had a car to get around here.

where i am in the suburbs, there really aren't sidewalks.... and sporadic public transportation. i would imagine it's not all that fun.

East coast living seems like a different world sometimes XD

more like east coast in the suburbs. i'm pretty sure there are busses all the time in Philly....

Not the bus taking part, just the general overall behavior and attitude of people there vs here or vice versa

Specific examples are mostly from Georgia and Florida, because that is wehre the largest concentrations are.

Heh true. And New Jersey. And New York. They're like totally different countries XD

what do you mean no sidewalks o.O

sidewalk along a street:


a lot of our streets just don't have them. i know someone who lives in walking distance to the Michael's we work at, and with no sidewalks on those busy roads, i certainly do not envy her.

that was just a random pic i found online. the sidewalks in my neighborhood don't look quite like that.....

must be so dangerous to walk so close to the cars <.<

-lives-
I was so sick yesterday =D
I peaked at 102.5 last night that I am aware of =O

mdom, exactly!

SparX - gah! glad you're feeling better!

Okay, so that street is kind of what walking the long way to Michael's is like. The short way is just walking as close to the railing as you can get up and then down an exit ramp and praying to the deity of choice that no one hits you.

exit ramp? yikes! those things are scary to drive on too. XD

I mean, I don't live in some huge city, so it's not like some giant 5 lane, clover shaped ramp or anything, just 2 lanes in either direction, and one off ramp that heads down to where Michaels is, and and an on ramp leading out of that area. Plus another in and off ramp farther along that lead onto and off of the highway.

i don't live in a huge city either. but still, that sounds like a scary place to walk, especially since not all drivers pay attention.....

I definitely wouldn't walk it during the day. At night it's usually not so busy (though nothing is really open then), but a friend and I did walk it once after geyting out of a late movie. It wasn't too bad then.

ah. still doesn't really sound like fun though.

/pets sick SparX D:

Lol. I think the only reason we even walked was because I was being stubborn and pig-headed and he didn't want me to walk alone. It was pretty sucky, but not too bad.

well that makes sense too. i still LOL'd. XD

No wait, I lied! That was the time that we took the bus down to the movie theater and I smuggled candy in the kangaroo pocket of my cowl neck sweater because if I adjusted iy just right, it looked like I was prego instead of smuggling candy!

:O
were you pregnant of candy? who's the father?

LOL both Kaderin and mdom!

Uh...Starburst? And maybe Skittles?
Lol

You can get tons in alimony if skittles is the daddy xDD

Lol. I mean, I did maybe eat the candy babies....so...shhh!

:O
it's ok I heard that happens a lot in the animal world!

Lol. True, it does.

if only kids tasted like candy...

Wait what, why

Mmmmm....sugar babies...

....oh my gods

I mean....real living babies are definitely not sweet *cough*sorry, I hate babies*cough*, so no eating those of course...
XD

Sugar babies are slang for something totally different tho

That is true. And also are a type of candy.

Same with Sugar Daddy...
