328iSedanCosyImage_560x300Once again I have had a series of run-ins with a BMW Owner who once again thinks they can do whatever the hell they want because they own a BMW.

A few weeks ago, I had a BMW owner come racing down my street at top speed, pull up in front of my truck with about an inch between the vehicles, get out and slowly stroll away, leaving blocked into my parking space. He was about 65 years-old. Once I maneuvered myself out (with a few bumps to said BMW for good measure) I found myself driving behind yet another BMW.

This particular BMW driver was doing 15 MPH in a 30 MPH area. I was getting a bit frustrated because I had already dealt with one idiot BMW owner, and now was having to deal with another. Well, the driver, a woman this time, comes to a stop. She then proceeds to get out of her car, and she has to be about 80. I honked my horn, which startled her, but she just looked over at me with a scowl on her face and proceeded to walk into the salon she was now double-parked in front of.

Today, I had two more run-ins with BMW drivers.

I went to the grocery store and parked next to a BMW. I was only getting a few things, so I wasn’t in there very long. When I came out, the trunk of the BMW was open, and a woman of about 40 was loading a huge cart full of groceries into it. The problem with this scenario is that she was using my truck to keep the cart from rolling down the hill.

“Excuse me,” I said. “I need to get out and you’ve placed your cart against my truck.”

“Too bad for you, huh?” was the woman’s snide reply.

This, of course, got my blood boiling a little. “Just move the cart,” I said.

“No,” she said. “You can wait until I am finished.”

I just smiled at her. My blood was beyond boiling at this point, and rather than hitting her, like I wanted to do, I grabbed the cart and sent it flying down the hill. And as she went scurrying after it, I got in my truck and pulled out of the spot in which I was parked. I purposefully drove to where she was now walking the cart back up the hill and rolled down my window.

“Next time, use your own car to keep the cart from rolling down the hill,” I said. “And by the way, the B in BMW stands for Bayerische, not BITCH!”

I then drove off as she proceed to yell profanities at me.

From there I went to get some breakfast at the only Dunkin’ Donuts in town, which is actually just outside of town on the other side of the freeway. I finished up there with no issues, until I was heading back into town. There I came across yet another bad BMW owner.

This particular BMW owner decided that Stop signs were for the “lower” people and he didn’t have to bother with stopping after coming off the highway. He came flying through the stop sign into the middle lane and then proceeded to merge into my lane as he was right next to me. I honked my horn, moved my vehicle onto the shoulder and gassed it so he had to get in behind me. He continuously honked his own horn at me the whole time he was behind me, and giving me the bird out his window.

My response?

I slowed down. WAY down! I was doing about 10 the whole way, until we came to the first stop light. At the stop light, I got out of my truck with my cell phone in hand as if I were talking on it. I walked back to the car, and read out the license plate number, and gave a description of the car and the driver. As soon as he realized that I was possibly on the phone to the police, he threw the car into reverse, then went flying around me in the opposite lane, through the red light and was gone.

Yet another BMW asshole.

So, even though I like BMWs I know I could never own one. I am not that caliber of asshole.

Helen6 Back when I was living in NYC, I had an unfortunate encounter with an African-American woman who was just a bit on the far side of the “psychopathic bitch” line. I am thinking she crossed that line at about age 3 and just kept going until the moment I happen to come across her, about 50 years later.

My partner and I were on the F-train heading to work and, as is usual of the F-train, it was cram packed with people. We were standing in one of the sections between two sets of doors when this woman steps in and pushes her way to where we are.

At first nothing happen, because neither of us really saw her. We had gone a few more stops, when suddenly the train came to a quick stop, like someone hit the emergency brake, between stations. The sudden stop caused quite a few of us standing people to lose our footing, and my partner and I bumped into this woman’s backpack.

We both apologized, but she would have none of it. She went off on a tirade that lasted for the next 20 minutes until my partner came to his stop. She threatened to “pop” us “wonder bread, Crisco, faggots” right there on the train.

I was getting pissed, but she was nothing more than a mouthy bitch, so I just ignored her. This, of course, got her going even more. She got louder and more threatening between my partners stop and her own, and I could see the other passengers getting annoyed and/or nervous that she was actually going to do something on the train.

Maybe I am just an idiot, maybe the last update to Live Writer (about a year ago?) made the change. Maybe it’s a little of both, but when I first started using Live Writer I could only edit those posts which were written using the program.

Tonight, I discovered that I can now pull posts that were written directly on the website and edit them as well!

And I can also pull Pages that were written within the website dashboard and make edits to that as well.

Which means, I can pull my writing pages and post them back into my writing website, should I decide to do so.

Now, if I could just figure out a way to load up the featured thumbnail for Live Writer, it would be PERFECT!

Yet another update

I finally had the stitches taken out of my eyelid, but I am still having complications with my eye. There is a slight double vision issue going on, that I can only describe as taking a printed piece of paper,and laying the same printed material on clear plastic over the top, then slightly shift the plastic so that you can still read the printed material, but it’s slightly skewed.

The wound itself also has some scar tissue build-up so that I feel as if there is always something pressing against my eyeball, which I guess technically is very true.

I have yet to visit with the ophthalmologist to assess if there is going to be any permanent damage. Several calls to the local hospital have resulted in absolutely nothing as far as setting up the appointment goes. I am pretty sure that I will be seeing him/her pretty soon, as I have managed to get an appointment with a very well-known lawyer here in town to discuss whether or not I have a case against the company I got my glasses from. If I have a case, then I am definitely going to need to know if there is going to be permanent damage.

So that is where I stand now. A bit in the void as far as a lot of things are concerned.

BlackEye

It’s been almost a week since I posted anything on this site, and I figured that it was time to let everyone know what’s been going on.

My eye is slowly healing, the bruising is much less now than it was a few days ago. The swelling is also down a bit, but overall I am suffering from a lot of pain still (I think from the stitches) so I spend all day in throbbing pain, which is dulled by taking Aleve, and at night take one of the pills I was prescribed. I don’t take them during the day because they totally fuck me up!

Within half an hour after taking the hydrocodone, I am basically comatose. I am not asleep, as I can hear everything going on around me, but I can’t move. I just lay there for about an hour, feeling myself falling further and further into a hellish sleep/coma. When I do finally come out of this coma, I am not refreshed. Instead, I am totally exhausted, feeling like I have been up for days.

I have to return to the hospital tomorrow to have the stitches removed. I am not looking forward to this at all. The last time I had stitches removed was from my hand, and while they didn’t hurt, I am leery about what my eye is going to do. The skin is very tender, so I may feel some pain as the stitches are taken out. That’s not going to be fun.

But the good news is that I can still see out of my eye, but it’s much blurrier than it used to be. I have a feeling there is some permanent damage. The ophthalmologist will be able to tell me more about that once I see him.

Anyway, that is where things sit at the moment.
