I hate politics, I hate it all, but the scotts sitting next to me heard my American accent and wanted to talk about politics and Trump with me. They know more about my political situation than I do, hard pass..... So my complaint is about politics, and that every country I go to, someone wants to talk about them with me. Let's talk about something good please I do what I can to avoid it as well. In retrospect, I realize that I got myself into needless heated arguments where I wound up getting in way over my head. Oh, and to add to that, I LOATHE political memes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ogre 828 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 I slipped on my front steps last night and caught myself backwards on my elbows and my left shoulder got jammed up pretty badly. Had a very hard time putting clothes on this morning. I’m really starting to think it’s *****. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With the time difference, that's been roughly 4AM EST. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shrader 1,783 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 People who fill up their car, leave it at the pump, and then go into the gas station to buy god knows what. Even if you're just getting a fountain drink, move your damn car over to the parking spots. Most of the time though, it winds up being some fool who is ordering something from the Subway attached to the station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Last Tuesday I figured I'd hit up my DMV right when they open to renew my license/get a RealID and still make it to work on time. Poor optimistic me was 45 minutes late for work.

I have 16 1/2 years of driving experience to prove this. Speaking of trucking, driving a big rig with an empty trailer going through high winds. Keeping it upright is no small feat.

Let's talk about something good please I have run into this type of thing several times myself. I think non-Americans assume all Americans voted for Trump and they tend to come at the conversation from that perspective. It's the price we all pay, as a society, for the colossal mistake his presidency unfortunately is. End of political commentary! On a positive note, at least you are/were in Glasgow, which is a great town and you get to enjoy those lovely Scottish accents all around you! I can listen to that stuff all day long.

I thought the same thing. Some college experiences take place at giant universities with tens of thousands of students and classrooms that seat 250 people. I was fortunate (as it turns out) to go to a small liberal arts school that never had more than about 18 or 20 people in a classroom, all my teachers had personal relationships with me and knew me by my first name, and in fact we had a policy that said if you miss more than 3 classes in a semester, you automatically fail. Difficult to be a faceless number lost in the size of the school in that type of atmosphere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
