Thanks guys. I told her to ask her doctor for tests, but her memory is not good and she's as stubborn as a pike, so who knows if she will or not.

x-posted with Bitches: after twelve years, I just bought a (used) car. I can go places when I want to go places.

I'm kind of freaking out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's exciting, amyth! I sometimes dream of driving, but am too scared.

You don't drive, Jesse? Sometimes I dream of an urban life where I never have to drive again, but here in NC, 12 years with almost no driving has been pretty limiting.

Also, hivemind: anyone on here Scottish, or know anyone Scottish? A FOAF is writing a book set in Scotland and has a question about a turn of phrase.

Nope. I have a license, but haven't driven in years. Not regularly since high school. Boston is the kind of place where you can do without, but it is better to have a car. Or at least access to one....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

When I was last in Boston, I feared for me life: while being a passenger in a car, while being a pedestrian. I could not believe the extent to which people drove fast and badly and didn't seem to care about basic rules of the road.

I give Boston drivers the side eye to this day!

Boston is the worst place I've driven. People pass on the right in a single lane. They sit a lights with one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake.

Heh. And people who didn't grow up here wonder why I seem to cross the street at random: I am going when it is safe, which is not at all the same thing as when I have a walk sign!

If I lived in a big city, I'd never drive, for sure.
