I got more worries than that with my car. I live by the beach -without a garage - and everytime I look at it I see more rust.
As for the bus - the last time I took the bus the driver turned around and asked "Does anyone know the route?!" Some smart alec kid gave him directions - to his own house! Not that the public transport system here is ineffecient or anything lol.

Dudes, the only place public transportation works is in Hawaii. Try it in Lethbridge and you'll be about 2 hours late for whatever you have going on. Then there's the whole getting back bit...In short, public transportation is not for me.
Man I love my car. Well, my tuck. My car is observing a time out until it gets over it's hissy fit. Dumb thing. And people told me it would be smarter to have sold the truck instead of paying insurance on two vehicles. Ha, showed them...
I lead such a boring life...

PT works in Toronto!! and I hear in New York and Japan and England...
It's reliable, and safe, and environmentally something something, so you know, if you don't mind having to leave an hour earlier just in case the subway breaks down, and if you don't mind being crammed against a shifty door while some smelly creeper feels you up, and you don't mind the constant urine smell, or the dubious stains on the seats or the occasional bus driver that is PURE EVIL or trying to stay in your seat sans seatbelt while you bounce full speed over potholes or having to transfer from bus to subway to other line to another line to another bus to get to a station ten blocks from where you wanna go or...
So, my point is, I'm looking ta buy a car...

Good luck, Zevie!
You know, now that I think on it, The C train (electric light transport trains that run in Calgary) is pretty good. There's a north and south route and there's nothing to it. But the whole squished together, felt up bit does still pose a problem...
Oh, and something really random - The spell checker doesn't like the name Zevie. Likes Tens just fine, though. How odd! Our Spell checker is flawed....

That's pretty nasty.
In all actuality, if I had the time, I wouldn't mind walking to work. It's only a mile and half away... but that's a lot of wasted time, and it would be even worse with a bus. Not to mention that if my bosses got wind that I was taking the bus or walking, they'd starting picking me up every day, and then gripe about me not driving my own car that is sitting there perfectly usable, lol. Yeah, my gas bill will dramatically reduce... but Tens, I drive back and forth and back and forth several times a day... You get to stay at home for the time being and drive your truck just whenever you feel like it

Well to you, too! I waste enough gas just sitting on the lawn and watching it, thank you very much! Still on a time out, if anyone has been wondering.
Ok, ok, ok. I have an idea. Let's buy a bus and collect revenues from that to pay for our over priced gas guzzling machines. No? well I had this brilliant idea where you set up stands and sell lemonade, but the kids next door got wind of that...oh well.

Haha, my little brother Jordan used to make BANK selling pop on the corners in the summertime. Of course he's now far too old to get away with that, but while it lasted he was having a good ol' time with it.

Random Stupidness for today:
Throwing up. There's this insane theory out there that you feel better after you do it. Not in a bulimic sense, but in an honest to god flu/food poisoning scenario. I personally remember the last time that happened and I was miserable. Norwock is a nasty bug.
It's also kind of backward logic to me. Thoughts? If anyone can defend it, I might just try it.
See ya in the funny papers!!!
Tens

I haaaate throwing up. I can't stand it. It's the most uncomfortable, god-awful feeling, especially right before you do it. But it's true, you do feel better after doing it -- at least, I do.
Oh, Lord, I remember one night I came home from one of my riding lessons (when I used to horseback ride) feeling absolutely miserable, for like no reason -- at first I thought it was food poisoning, because I used to get McDonald's after each lesson (I regret doing that now, 'cause I'm pudgy, lol), and God only knows what mysterious items they put in their food, but I had started feeling crappy while I was having my lesson.
I got home, didn't even take off my coat, and just laid on the couch in my misery. I couldn't talk to or even look at anyone without feeling nauseous. And, no joke here, I literally could not even lift a finger without feeling my stomach churn. I don't know why.
I went in the bathroom eventually and threw up, and felt a lot less crappy afterwards. It was like a twenty-four hour flu thing because I was about ten times better by the next day.
That happened a second time, too, and I have on idea why. I know it wasn't the McDonald's, though, because like I said, I had felt crappy while I was at my lesson. So I don't know.
But, for me, throwing up really does make me feel better, because really, by vomiting, you're getting all of that quote-unquote "poisonous" crap out of your stomach.
Of course, you could always get stuck with what my family calls the "Both-End Phenomena," where you're vomiting AND going diarrhea ... ;)

No, I agree, if the problem is food poisoning it makes you feel better. Same goes if the problem is too much alcohol.
The theory does not work for pregnancy. I had 'morning sickness' 24/7 for the first six months.
