Some ppl get everything
Others get nothing or a little bit but to many hardships n not wnough support even if things are available they are not given it in time or to the proper degree that is needed

I wish my son’s hardships cd be shot down like a target
If it happened to the younger i wdnt be so down as I wd have bern better equipped n experienced frm the first

But since it happens to him
N he has such a noble soul n amazing personality n he is like the one person who made life worth living

There were quite a few cars in the 1940s, actually.

I like to have a car because it's convenient. I would have about a half-hour commute to work if I was able to drive to during non-rush hours. As it stands, I can't drive to work because there's no parking. My commute is 1.5 to 2 hours each way.

kortie,
Do you ever say "Forget this!" and take Uber to go home at night? There must be less traffic by then.

Once in a while, I take a cab.

To get to where I want to go, an Uber is almost as expensive as a regular taxi.

That would be so convenient!

No more trains!

I didn't have a license until I was 37. And I did okay on the train for the first 37 years of my life. However, once I started driving, I got spoiled.

I started driving just before my 18th birthday and likely drove every day of my life until 2015 when I had my stroke.

The countdown is on to see if I will drive again with these new glasses.

Sorry -- this wasn't a rant but I could easily rant about the past four years without DRIVING!

You're alone in your own car. When taking public transport, you have to share your space with others.

I hate the 'unexpected admin work' which comes with looking into your email and getting messages about having to update accounts and such when your trying to relaxing.

I realize how this is a terrible thing to think but I swear that when it comes to persons who panhandle around a part of downtown I pass through at least once a week, they have been there so often it's like they're the dramatis personae of the city. I dread to become something like that when it comes to ppl seen downtown ._. ..

I have a job, friends, and family but at 25 I can barely control my fine motor skills, I can't smile, I can't talk in anything but monotone. My family doesn't believe that I am disabled. I accept this but am sad about it.

My back started hurting out of - utter - nowhere!

wth???

Now I can barely walk.

It hurts to sit, stand and lie down. I have no painkillers. I can't even get dressed, let alone walk to the shops.

wth???

I know it's from the mould.

The worst thing is, every time I leave this house, my symptoms magically disappear.

Then I'll be telling someone about my issues and they'll be all like, "But you look fine to me - rosy cheeks and all!"

Then I'll get that LOOK which I know means [she's such a drama queen, what a hypochondriac, etc, etc]

Yet here I am not able to get up from my damn chair!! !

I WISH I COULD NUKE ALL MOULD FROM THIS PLANET FOREVER!! !! !! !! !! !! !! !!

I could this about several YouTubers I know.

I don't like and kind of hate 'Jusreign' for how his sense of humour while I recognize as supposedly trying to reflect Toronto's Indian community triggers me into thinking about my history of reverse-racism and how poisonous that wound up being for me. Humour is a passive-aggressive form of expression on a semi-regular basis and assuming that Jasmeet Singh is more or less my age, I don't see that sort of humour as 'aging well'' or one 'to age with' unless you would actually like to carry it into politicization, serious politicization...-_- =~= not that, that really happens often.

I might not feel the same with Lily Singh/'Superwoman' but maybe with her it's b/c she's female and 'offspring of immigrants labours based underclass/'working' male inferiority complex' is something I see as retaining me in pathological adolescence.

I just get frustrated with all these cars because they make getting to work very difficult for me. I've stopped getting the bus because it gets held up too much in all the traffic, making me late for work. This has even happened when I've arrived to the bus stop over an hour before my shift starts, and the bus is supposed to come every 15 minutes. That just says how much traffic there is where I live.
So I've resorted to walking, which is a rather long way but the exercise is good. But the journey to work is along some very busy roads, and one of these days I'm scared I'm going to get knocked over whilst trying to cross a road. I have street smarts, but a car can just emerge out of nowhere even if you stop and look carefully before crossing the road and see a gap big enough to cross safely.

It's difficult explaining the roads here in England because most members here are American and won't know what I'm on about, but it's just a pain having to walk to work along such busy roads with so many turnings where cars and vans emerge from just as I'm coming along. When I walk I like to pick up a pace, but you can't when you got to keep stopping every few yards to cross a small turning. I've started walking on the other side of the road, where there are less turnings, but then the pavement (sidewalk) disappears into bushes so you got to walk out on the road, and that is very dangerous because this road is a very fast road. There is an island (look it up Americans, if you don't know what a road island is), just before you get to this awkward bit, so I would use it to cross over the road, but next to the island is a very sharp corner, so you can't see what's coming.

And no, there isn't an alternate route to walk that's quieter. I live up in a very built-up and overpopulated town, so walking near busy roads is unavoidable. I just hate all this traffic. It's so fast, aggressive and dangerous.
