That is definitely ridiculous to speed anyhow. Does he realize how many are

Killed in high speed crashes? You did the right thing by voicing your thought on

the matter. He is an adult, however and is responsible for his own actions. So

if he continues to speed, he will continue to be caught and so on. It would

agravate me too. I am praying for the best for y'all.

I can't BELIEVE Greg!!! He got pulled over and was given a $120

ticket in the little town next to where our house is, on our 1-year

anniversary (dating), Dec. 2. Then, tonight we got pulled over (he

was driving), and we were given a warning (about 20 miles away from

the house). Then, HE KEPT DRIVING LIKE 10-20mph OVER THE SPEED LIMIT

as soon as he was out of the cop's sight!!!!!!!! Then, when I asked

him to please slow down, and reminded him of what the speed limit

was, he said that he knew what the speed limit was. So, then I tried

a different tactic... I reminded him that because he was just given a

warning, that if he gets pulled over AGAIN tonight, that he will

DEFINITELY get another (at least) $120 ticket, and that we didn't

have enough money to pay for the last one yet, so how will we pay for

this one, and what will he do if he loses his license? He told me

(very angrily) to DROP IT. (I did this reminding, when we were 2

miles away from the town where the house is, there is only one cop in

this town, and he is nicknamed Barney Fife, because he will pull you

over if you are just 1mph above the limit, and then he will say that

you are 6mph above the limit). I did not say anything the rest of

the way home, I just stared straight face out the windshield, as he

took the country roads at breakneck speed. Then, when we got to the

house, I got out of the car and walked straight to the front door,

unlocked the door using my keys (normally I wait for him to unlock

the door), and then I went in the house threw my 2 bags that I take

with me everywhere (no breakables) onto the floor in front of the

couch really hard (made loud noise), then put the lean pockets in the

freezer (loudly), and then made as much noise as possible while

putting my coat on the door knob. He finally looked at me and

said, " What are you mad about now? " I said, " I just really don't

think that someone who has been pulled over twice in a week and a

half, has been given a $120 ticket and a warning, should be going 15

mph over the speed limit, ESPECIALLY within the city limits of where

the cop gave you the $120 ticket, THE SAME NIGHT THAT YOU GOT A

WARNING!! We don't have that much money, and it is not that

difficult to just slow down! You were getting on me earlier for not

wearing makeup and dressing up like I used to and not being able to

do as much as I used to, well at least that stuff doesn't cost us

$120 a pop! Your credit history and your old credit cards that we

are paying off don't bother me very much, because it is in the past,

and we are fixing it, but this DOES BOTHER ME, because it is

something that is easily fixed and preventable, but yet you STILL

CONTINUE TO DO IT!! I'm sorry if it feels like I am nagging you, I

don't mean to, but why do you keep doing this? We need to watch our

money, because if we don't, then we could VERY EASILY lose this

house. "

Was I wrong to do/say that? I just don't understand what the problem

is here!! I mean if the speed limit is 50, why can't he just go 50,

why does he HAVE to go 65-75? I, personally, have never been pulled

over and never gotten a ticket. I was so freaked out when we got

pulled over! It scared the crap out of me (didn't help that he had

had 2 guinness's tonight either and that we were driving an hour and

a half back home, with me being carsick, and feeling so crappy that i

couldn't have driven if i had wanted to!). I know that I was

probably mainly reacting to being pulled over, but still, isn't this

a talk that needed to happen? I mean, he might as well be stopping

at a strip bar and giving the girls $120 each time he gets a ticket,

not to mention the insurance rate hikes!! (At least at a strip bar

he would get enjoyment, maybe a better scenario would be him taking

basically 2 of his $75 papa john's paychecks (second job, dependent

on him having a valid driver's license) and dropping them down a

gutter!!)

Sorry... but GRRR!!

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.
