Incentives for Good Grades

Posted in burger, good grades, McDonalds, parenting, unhealthy on 12/06/2007 by magnoliadiva

When I was in junior high, I asked my Mom and Dad could I get money for grades. For example, $5 for every A, $2 for every B, -$2 for C and below. My Mom laughed in my face and I sat there like looking like, “What is so funny”. I told her that so-and-so’s Mom did it and so-and-so’s Dad did it. You know what came next, right?

Her response?

“One. I am not their parents and TWO, I am not giving you money to do what you are supposed to be doing as a child in this house, anyway.”

YOU KNOW I walked away, head hung down like, “Dang, did she have to go THERE with me?!”. She was right (as always…..).

So now companies are giving away FOOD for good grades………………GREASY, UNHEALTHY food, at that.

Boy, boy, boy…..

Road Test (Driving) Quiz

Posted in driving, left lane, left lane idiots on 12/03/2007 by magnoliadiva

On an interstate, the left lane is for:

(A) chilling because I pay taxes and I can stay where I please when I drive
(B) passing only
(C) getting ran the heck over if I don’t drive the speed limit
(D) Driving under the speed limit

If you answered (A) or (D), YOU NEED TO CHECK THE DRIVING MANUAL IN YOUR STATE!!!!

Dudes and dudettes, I was driving back to Maryland from Atlanta today and I ran into over 40 folks who were CHILLING IN THE LEFT LANE in SOUTH CAROLINA and NORTH CAROLINA and driving GROSSLY under the speed limit.

State “keep right” laws……it’s OBVIOUS that NO ONE reads this and skips over this section on the driving test in North Carolina and South Carolina!!!!

I lived in North Carolina for 6 years and this was a MAJOR pet peeve of mine!!

THIS is TOO FUNNY, though!!!

Just my last vent, GET OVER, FOLKS!!!!
