Guess what?
I updated my links finally. Aren't you proud of me? huh? huh? Aren't ya?
All dead links are gone and I updated some that needed updated and it only took me....well, I know one link on there has been dead since November...Oh like you're not busy...shuddup...
But if I missed any, please let me know. And, since I'm in a housekeeping mood, leave me your link if you aren't currently listed.

And in more exciting news...
Yeah, who am I kidding. I've got nothing.
I do have a whole Paperweight vent but I'm not feeling very vent-y at the moment. And this deserves my full on bitchy attention. I drained myself during my 20 hour tirade about the little-dicked cop who gave me a speeding ticket yesterday and saying I didn't use my turn signal while changing lanes 3 times. Which is TOTAL BULLSHIT because I'm totally OCD when it comes to that. I live in Butt Fuck Egypt by a bunch of cornfields and I still signal to turn in to my driveway. And I was doing 57 in a 50 zone...but he didn't pull me over then. He followed me another mile where the speed limit drops to 40 as you are going down a hill and then clocked me and pulled me over at the bottom of the hill. And even though I had a clean record, he still nailed my ass to the wall and gave me 4 points.
Seriously? If there are any officers of the law reading this, take my advice - don't be a dick. This is why people have no respect. This is why people won't cooperate. This is why people don't report shit. If you're bored enough to harrass middle-aged women on their way home from working a bazillion hours, go read a book.
Ahhhhh guess I had some bitch left in me after all. I'll have to save it and write about Paperweight tonight.

Ummmm.... you're totally gonna fight that charge, right? At the very least, you can get it reduced so that it won't be 4 points. Seriously, you have a clean record, and you were using your turn signal (did you get it checked to make sure it's actually working?) Even if you walk in there with no attorney and just plead your case, you'll probably come away with a reduced charge. Worth a go.
By the way, there is happiness in my kitchen right now. Some of it's a little melted and gooey, but it's still happiness. *smoochies*
Ohhhh, cops on a power trip bug me so much. The first time I was pulled over for speeding, there was another car right in front of me and I was keeping up with him. I had a new Mustang, the car in front of me was a 4 door family car. The cop was a dick for a few reasons, one being I was driving a "fast" car. Another big reason I feel was when he went back to his car to run my info in the system, I could see a member of our city's junior league hockey team on a ride along with him. I still feel to this day that he was just showing off to the hockey player, "Look, I'm cool too!"
first...you are not middle aged
second...he was probably mad cause you didn't flirt with him
Maybe he thought you would try to 'flirt your way out' of it, and got pissed when you didn't....afterall, he did follow you fo a whole mile.
I agree, go to court and contest it. If he doesn't show, it gets dropped automatically.
Oh MY! Your post could have been me in New York (not the city, the state, lol). That exact same thing happened to me...the whole going down a hill when the speed limit changes and getting stopped...only it was 2 a.m. and I didn't have to change lanes. I had to pay $190 for that ticket though.
Since you're a P'bgher, and I'm married to a P'bgher, you could link me if you liked....I know you come by and read me sometimes!!! And I read you whenever my RSS tells me there's a new post!
Fight it!!! If you go to court and they don't show, it's dropped. On the other hand, you could do community service (I did) and it gets dropped. You still gotta pay, but no points.
You go to the courthouse and get permission but I don't recall who I got it from. Good luck!!
I hate cops!!
You MUST live near me! BFE - yup. Corn fields - uh huh. Small-dicked pissed-off cops with a vendetta - absolutely!
(Except for my neighbor, he's a trooper and is absolutely my hero! But all the rest...)
