I Can Choose My Response!

No matter what has been said to you, you ALWAYS have a choice on how you react to those words.

And I suppose non-verbal responses, too... i.e., like NO communication. lol

Click It or Ticket

The national Click it or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization is from May 18 – 31.

Although seat belt use is required in any company vehicle, it is just as important to also buckle up in your personal vehicle when you’re off the clock.

In 2007, nearly 30,000 people in passenger vehicles were killed in traffic crashes nationwide; half of those killed were not buckled up.

Seat belts are the simplest way to reduce deaths and serious injuries.

In 2007 alone, seat belts saved an estimated 15,147 lives, yet one in five Americans still fail to buckle up regularly.

Below are numbers of people killed in traffic crashes in five states last year: ( LA – 985 | MS – 884 | NM – 413 | OK – 754 | TX – 3,363 )

The risks of a fatal crash are highest for nighttime drivers and passengers and young adults.

Nationally in 2007, 4,540 young men and women ages 16-20 were killed in motor vehicle crashes, and 61 percent were not buckled up at the time of the fatal crash.

In addition, nearly two-thirds of all those killed in fatal crashes at night were not buckled up.

On- and off-the-job motor vehicle crashes cost U.S. employers nearly $60 billion annually.

Costs from motor vehicle crashes totaled more than $200 billion nationwide.

Be a good example to your friends, family, and co-workers. Buckle up every time you get into a vehicle. Click It or Ticket — day and night.

This has heped me in the past...

Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Gossip

You may or may not know this, but one of the websites I frequent is People.com.

They have been recently posting stories about people I've never even heard of. Turns out, most of them are on Gossip Girl. I haven't watched one episode, don't even know which channel it's on, and I wont even google it to even provide ya a link in this blog (that's how uninterested I am in it). But many of the actors and actresses sure get A LOT of press coverage. Who changed their hair, who got married, who's fighting with who, who made up, who's kissing who, etc. The show must have a lot of characters on it, because there sure is a lot of stories about so many people that are on the show.

Oh well; I don't mind I don't know anything about the show. :)
