    I've driven in few European countries, and found that people take things a lot less personal on the road. People are cutting each other off all the time, and they just accept that it's how people drive. It felt like there was a lot less hostility behind the wheel.

    Maybe you're right. I do about 95 percent of the time (and always in traffic) but not always on an open highway with few other cars around.

    Pulling to the gas pump and the choices on the screen are credit, debit or pay inside. I hit credit then swipe my card. The next screen asks "is this a debit card?"

    No, I already chose credit. Why is there an extra step?

    Oh don't get me started about those machines. Each one with different question protocols. Some you still have to sign, others you don't. If only Twitter would be so demanding in making sure you were serious when instigating a transaction/post.

    "You said - "All (insert group) Should Die!" Is this correct? (Yes/No)
    "The comment will be posted (Yes/No)"
    Any final thoughts? (Yes/No)

    The 20 questions routine at the pump really gets old in cold weather. You pull up to get gas and need your pin, your zip code, debit or credit and then it asks if you want a car wash too. By the time the gas actually starts flowing, you can't feel any of your limbs.

    Food allergies.

    Spent last night recovering from a reaction.

    Six benedryls and a couple of epipens later... a bit of a rough night.

    Weird thing is, I ate at the same restaurant three days ago, no problem. I suspect a cross-contamination in the kitchen.
