I got kinda used to it. Driving in the place I live now is so easy compared to that. That highway in Mass that I was talking about is 4 lane highway that goes through Boston and when it goes North, it drops a lane about 35 miles away from Boston. That 3 lane section becomes such a bottleneck during rush hour that from 3pm-7pm on weekdays you are allowed to use the break down lane as a travel lane up to the New Hampshire boarder. It was nuts. The exit i used to get off of when I lived there also was a rotary that had 4 points, 2 went to the main highway North and South, the other two went to two busy roads that lead to downtown for the town I lived in and the neighboring one.

That sounds nerve racking and I have never driven in anything like that. I would not be driving in something like that ever if I have my way. We go to Chicago for shopping and my mom swore she would never drive in the city, but then I went to school there in the downtown area and she learned how to navigate and drive like an asshole there (because you have to). The furthest I ever drove was to my sister's old house when she used to live in the suburbs still way out of the city and not in rush hour and that was a big accomplishment to me.

I grew up in it so I had to learn how to drive in it just to go to work. Its nice to have a less stressful drive.

I understand that. My mom would always contradict herself with me driving in the city we live close to. She wouldn't want me, but then she would send me to go get something. Maybe that was her way of teaching me to drive with more cars around. I don't know.

It could be. My parents used to be worried about me driving 45 minutes to see my husband while we were still dating. After I drove to rhode island and lived there for an internship for 3 months, they got better about it.

The city I live near was about 30 minutes away so I can see that. But cellphones were available widely then.

Man, my puppy has diarrhea. I woke up to poop all over my room. I thought it was my older dog because he was acting way guilty. Went out with a friend and came here me with her covered all in poop. I also got covered in poop to. And while I was changing out of my clothes she pooped on my bed. And floor. Again. It is going to be a long night. Oh and now she is scared of me because I was yelling to make her not jump out of the tub.

She is now. She had went on the floor during the night the other night, but not last night. She seriously wasn't acting like anything was wrong. My guess was because I had to feed her a different combination of food while I waited for more to come in the mail. It was the same brand, but the pet store didn't have the lamb and rice I feed her. They only had duck and sweet potato of the puppy food. Which was annoying. I didn't realize how little she had left because usually my older dog runs out of food first so I use that as a reference to when to reorder food.

Poor baby. I used to have a dog with a sensitive stomach like that who would get sick the second we switched his food.

I also can't give her bread anymore because the past few times I have (I give them the ends of the loaf because I don't like eating those) she ends up puking. Now she gives me a dirty look when I just give them to Viktor.
