If I had _____________________ to do over again,
I would:
Instead of:




Extra:
Do you see drivers at stop signs wave you through, and if so, how do you respond if it's their right of way?


It annoys me just like the people who slow down on the highway entrance ramps instead of speeding up to merge. I don't trust them not to go anyway.

Bonus:
What is the worst smell you've ever experienced?


I remember outside of Buffalo, NY back in the 1970s, it smelled like REALLY rotten eggs. I was guessing it was some kind of sulfur plant.

Foodie Q:
Describe at least one meal you ate recently:


Steak salad made at home with romaine lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, flank steak and balsamic vinaigrette. I forgot to buy cucumbers or they would have been in there, too.

Just for fun:
Who You Gonna Call?
No plans to call anyone today.

Today's Question(s):
If I had _my education_______ to do over again,
I would: have graduated college sooner
Instead of: interrupting school to work for years.

Extra:
Do you see drivers at stop signs wave you through, and if so, how do you respond if it's their right of way?
I agree with GiGi603, just follow the rules of the road. Here's one reason I don't like the
wave through. The other car goes and then the waver tailgates. If they wanted to go that
badly, they shouldn't act like they're being a good citizen then act impatient once they're
behind the car they let go in front of them. Of course that's only a factor if the waved through
car turns, but if a turn signal is on, it should be obvious the waver is putting the other car in front of them.

Bonus:
What is the worst smell you've ever experienced?
Sorry for this before the food question, as kevxu pointed out. My answer? A dead mouse
found inside a plastic trap after days of stewing in its own juices.
Now for food.

Foodie Q:
Describe at least one meal you ate recently:
Last night we went out. I had a grilled chicken salad, buttery rolls, and a Coke Zero.

Just for fun:
Who You Gonna Call?
Ghostbusters, of course.
IRL one of my brothers is due for a call back from me. We've been playing phone tag recently.

Foodie Q:
Describe at least one meal you ate recently: had some yummy Thai drunken noodles recently. The broad rice noodles were toothsome and the perfect platform for the sauce. The heat in the sauce built until it made you sweat - but it was flavorful and savory too - you could taste the bright herbiness of the fresh basil and the char on the tender beef. Mmmmmm so good!

The next year, they planted corn there.
