recently experienced having my life flash right before my eyes. Thankfully, I didn't die and I didn't take anyone else out, more importantly
Glad you're all right.

Even the sheriff's deputy - who just so happened to already be right on my ass when this nightmare happened - complimented me on my driving.
Well uh, I assume you are. You are all right, aren't you?
reese
says
Thanks. Me, too. What gets me is that - while my heart was racing - I was incredibly, incredibly calm about it.
reese
says
I am. No scratches, bumps, bruises, or breaks that I've noticed. My knee hurts a bit but that could be the RA. *shrugs*
That's the adrenalin boost. It makes you all efficient and pragmatic. 
reese
says
I mean, it's not every day that you have a tire practically blow out on you while you're going seventy in heavy city traffic, huh?
AlexaD
is
glad you're ok
Happened to me during my first driving lesson! 
(Although I was crawling on a parking, not really driving)

reese

Thank you, too.
reese
says
Aieeee! What a way to get started! I think that would've made me less inclined to get behind the wheel. You're a better woman than I!
reese
says
Crawling or not, that's not a fun experience. The sheer suddenness of it is nerve wracking and disconcerting.
reese
has
pics of one of the tires. I must figure how to get them from my phone to my system - and I think I have a way, too!
Glad youre OK
Ofelia
says
wow .. soooo glad you're ok!
Do treat yourself to a long warm bath or something. Your muscles might be sore by tomorrow, because of the adrenalin kick.
reese
says
As am I. Like I said, though, I'm far more glad that I didn't end up hurting anybody else in the process.
reese
says
While that sounds lovely, RaindropDrinkwater, I'm horrible about treating myself - sans dying my hair in a fun shade of Manic Panic.
reese
says
Although . . . Now you've got me thinking. I could use a nice, deep massage - and I'd 
******* it sooooo much, too!
******* it sooooo much, too!
I'm glad you're okay. I offer backrub services once I get home tonight if you're amenable.
reese
was
freaking out quite a bit, albeit it was indeed a delayed reaction, Aponi. While it was happening, I was dead calm, all thought and action.
reese
thinks
I just might be, hubby dear. I just might be. We shall see. I think I need to majorly relax first, given the utter suckitude level today.
reese
thinks
Sadly, this happened on the return trip from what was supposed to be a rote doctor's appointment and ended up being completely horrible.
reese
thinks
And I hadn't mentioned the ticket stack that I got in lieu of getting arrested and having the truck impounded at the same time.
reese
thinks
Today has NOT been a good day. At all. At least it can really only get better from here, oui?
It had better. I'm just about "Code Black" right now. Anything else goes wrong, I am really not sure what I will do.
reese
says
Oh, boy.
Yikes! I'm glad you are okay!
I'll probably be okay. I'm resilient that way, or as some have called it, "pig-headed."
I just seriously need to not have anything else go wrong for like, the next week.
reese
says
Atropos, gracias! And, EvilBenFranklin, how 'bout we make that a month or so, eh?
reese

- Sorry that the image quality sucks. The camera is low quality. Still, you get some idea. Tread shred!
I could do with a month. Honestly, I could do with a year, or maybe the rest of eternity, but I'm too pragmatic for that.
News Flash: Team Lead Jon just said that Discount Tire has good deals, and warranties replacements for free for 5 years.
And there's one of those right next to us.
reese
says
I'm more than a bit biased against Discount. Still, it's worth looking into. *shrugs*
reese
says
They're more than a tad gimmicky, tend to play neat little legalish word games, so when you go for one of their "deals", you need to really
reese
says
read the fine print - and then go back over it another time or two with a tooth and comb.
reese
thinks
comparing them to BoA in that sense would be fair, if that helps you get what I mean.
Oh, true... and I tried to price online, and they say our vehicle has "special needs." Ain't that the fuckin' truth?
reese
says
Caveat emptor, mon ami.
reese
is
mixing languages! Okay, so one is the base for the other, but still . . . 
Nah, cavies only need to emptor in areas where they're considered a food item. 
reese
thinks
that was utterly adorable! But what about the cappies?
worries about the poor cappys and cavies - especially the ones in certain areas of South America . . . and especially around Lent and Easter
Well, if they start taking too many losses, they call for the Gunny Pigs to come take out the enemy.
And the Deathrabbit squad.
reese
loves
the Gunny Pigs!
reese
wonders
if R. Lee Ermey loves the Gunny Pigs, too . . .
Cappys are cute! They always look like they're looking down their noses at the rest of us.
reese
loves
Cappys as much as I love their wee li'l cousins. Back as an undergrad I used to say that I was aiming to become a cappy rancher. 
Better that than a crappy ancher (whatever an ancher is…)
