Someone honked at me for not turning left right away even though there were cars coming through the intersection. Other drivers suck.

hi roomy :wave2: nice to see you. How's it been going?
Turking was a bust last week, but at least next week is a brand new opportunity to be let down in new and different ways.

How have you been? I hadn't seen you lately and I missed your gifs.

I'm bad about getting back at drivers who annoy me like that, I should probably be careful before a road rager shoots me lol. I live on a road where you have to turn left from the main road and there's a turning lane even, but the main road is two lanes on each side and pretty trafficy, so I have to get in the left hand fast lane pretty early to make sure I can. First, I'm not the fastest driver but even so I try not to go too slow when I'm in the left hand lane, but I have to slow down no matter what before the turning lane because it's very very short and I wouldn't be able to go from 50 to 0 there without slamming on brakes. I try to be a good driver and drive fast enough for as long as I can but it's inevitable I have to slow down in the left lane and even with my blinker already on way early people still get mad at me for slowing down and ride my tail. It happens way way too much and I can't stand it so when someone does that I really slow down and go even slower until I reach the turning lane.

I have the same thing where I regularly drive, too. People ride up my butt like two inches from my bumper and get all road-ragey when I HAVE TO slow down to get into the left turn lane. The thing about that is that up ahead on the road, they have to merge to the right lane to get onto the freeway, so there's no reason to be in the left lane unless you are going deeper into the neighborhood, which most people aren't.

My road is especially bad because it's two lanes that suddenly turns into one lane right before the turn off to my apartment and it's a main road as well. I've seen people getting screamed at because they dared stop and wait for the turn rather than cutting the coming car off.

Adrian Beltre got hit 2,999. in the 4th inning. He'll get 3,000 tonight even if the Rangers get their butts handed to them.

Random question of the day...I think I might have a cavity, but don't have dental insurance. Any self-employed people here, should I just pay out of pocket or get dental insurance? I thought my medical covered it, but nobody accepts it, doh.

Probably just pay out of pocket, shouldn't be more than $100-$150 at the most unless you have to get an exam and cleaning first appointment thing before they'll do it.

dental insurance tends to be on the cheaper side, it might be worth getting a plan in case they find other things while they're in there, too

Sitting around with light bulbs in your mouth all day...this was bound to happen eventually.

Sounds good :)
I guess it would depend if they check for preexisting problems before the plan starts or not. And if you have a history of cavities.

TLDR buy an Oral-B Pro 1000 or higher.
