A Different Kind Of Journey.
It requires some skill to drive a car. Working the peddles and shifting through the gears is only a minute part of driving a motor driven vehicle. You affect the lives of other people and if you carry passengers, it is even more so. There are also road signs and ordinances to follow while many other laws also relate to driving a car.
It therefore comes as no surprise that you need to do a test to receive a driver’s license and in many countries today, you have to take driving lessons to obtain that sought after piece of paper.
Now why should it be that we can take so much care before allowing somebody to drive a car but we are not regulated on how we drive our car of life? Actually, it is more like being a bus driver. We pick up and offload passengers all the time. Maybe we should be required to have a Public Driver’s Permit to drive our car of life.
I wonder if people would have broken the rules of society so easily if the were fined for double parking, parking at expired meters, parking at a no stopping zones, or overtaking at a solid barrier line with their cars of life. I wonder what would happen if life’s traffic cops were to start writing tickets for speeding and reckless driving?
Have a great day out there.
I’m still a bit dehydrated after a bad Samoosa take-away en route from the farm. Hence my disappearance the other day. I just did not realize what was wrong. I was more than just tired, I was coming down with food poisoning.

I, I think would be a terrible driver in a car
Driving my own life.. well, I can`t do quiet as much damage there at least to others..
Have a great day Cat..as always a fun blog promoting thoughts..
I would deviate, but I wont.. to suggest some answers,
Yes, some of us us careful drivers but some of us are just plain, inconsiderate, negligent and/or reckless. Somehow we don't care how much paint we take off with all those little hit and run jobs.
Man Believe me I know about food poisoning
I've been there too.
Glad you're ok.
Yes, there are important rules to driving our life if we want to end up happy at the end of our journey and maybe help others on theirs whilst on our travel
Did you notice that you posted your blog only seconds after I did mine?
Anyway.. driving my life, I always follow rules.. it makes my life easier. And I always try to not drive anybody crazy.
Hey, sorry about you being food poisoned. Hope you get recovered pretty soon.
Type of insurance held, self only or comprehensive.
How many years no claims discount do you have.
Have you had any "accidents" in the last 5 years.
How many points do you have on your licence.
And last but not least, have you ever been banned
Hmm,
I guess that if we stick to the basic rules there will be much less body putty around.
money hunters, farmers in possession of hunting.
and the rest (most) people excluded...
Just seeing food makes me sick. Everything smells foul. Every day I think I will be better and every day I'm just worst.
But I'm on medication now - after I had to get an IV feed yesterday.
Now you're talking. Maybe issue permits to interact with other people and special love permits to engage in love affairs.
Thanks. Life is just driving from point A to point B. Only it is not distance but time that matters.
We have an open hunting system where you can hunt for free on government grounds. This is mainly smaller game. Small antelopes, rabbits, birds, etc. Some farmers will allow you to hunt on their property as well.
My friend, however, has a large commercial game farm with an extensive breeding program and @ US$3900 per kudu he guarantees success.
But - I do have consideration for other drivers.
Good to hear you are on the mend, get well soon Cat.
I work for a doctor and his practice is an old house which he renovated and fixed up beautifully. Our parking is at the back of the house and you have to go through gates on the side of the practice to get to your car and then drive out. Now, we find that every lunch time and afternoon, some moron parked in front of the gate to go walking around in town and then we are stuck. We have had cases where he had to rush out to the hospital and then cannot get out. We had the road painted (no parking) and put the signs up but still we battle with this problem.
Well, most the pain and discomfort is gone now, it is only inconvenience that remains. I WANT TO EAT AGAIN!!!
I believe that there is a BIG law prohibiting parking in front of a doctor's gate. He seek legal advice or just have him towed away.
I sometimes have no appetite and don't eat, but it doesn't last forever - hopefully you'll be back to normal soon. Did you send someone out to get chicken soup yet?
Chicken soup is all I can keep down at the moment but after a while you get tired of it. I was thinking of lasagne, pizza, enchiladas and the likes.
It's nice though to spoil yourself with food when you feel better. Enchiladas would sound yummy in a couple of days.
cops lately tend to ignore us
I just crave for something rich and cheesy but I could not even satnd a toasted cheese sandwich.
Yes, for a moment I forgot where we were. But it is heartless of you to disturb the authorities on trivial matters like this while their coffee may be getting ice cold.
So I make you sick, eh? Good to know it. Getting sick so suddenly only reminded me to review my will again. I will be looking at next week again.
Hm, ok. Send me your back card and pin number so I can be sure that I have the money paid into the right account.
I did not mean that rich and cheesy. We have them here as as well.
But thanks for the sympathy. I feel much better already.
cat,Did you back to health?If it is, and it will be a good news...
Quite right. we carry too much baggage which is just a burden on the suspension and steering mechanism. Many accidents are caused by emotional baggage.
And I make you laugh? Another name I will have in my mind next week when I review my will.
"Many things I crave for but when I see it I get nauseous"..
I think you should keep away from the women?.
Also, if you have "cravings", and feel "nauseous", it sounds as if you might be pregnant?
Of the many things I crave for, none of the include a woman at the present. I'm looking for something to sink my teeth into.
I have just fed my sister's dog with another of what should have been a delicious sandwich.
Pregnant? Then I better go for a gender test of the baby. Iw will be handy to know beforehand whether I will become a mommy or a daddy.
I don´t mind being bitten at times, only by the two-legged creatures though!
As for being pregnant, sometimes people just get broody when they see a pregnant woman... You know, it´s a hormone thing?
You mean it could be a false alarm. Thank heavens! I was just about to start knitting baby booties.
