Angels secret WIP

[Busy_B]

You could always come to Indiana! We're the crossroads of America. Just don't come at the end of May when we have the Indianapolis 500 race because that is just one big drinking fest in Indianapolis and gives people more reason to drive like nuts. You also have to avoid Indianapolis at the end of July because of the Brickyard 400 (Nascar race)...and now September when we have the motorcross race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I understand what you mean though. I remember when I was in Germany watching the speedometer of the bus driver on the autobahn! I didn't look at it the rest of the trip!

[Angel]

Oh oh oh! My dad found a really cool American radio station! It's called Bob FM and it's a PA station, but they have some hilarious adverts on, one of which is about buzzed driving. Now the idea of American drink driving doesn't so much scare me and make me grin stupidly as I recall those adverts.

I want to go to GA, the very north East. Somewhere called rabun county. I think it's Mountain city that I want to go to. Which is great, because I know they still have the KKK and so again, I'm going to die as I'm not exactly Christian.

*is actually talking herself out of visiting America*

But you know I have this thing on my homepage which shows me some beautiful places worth visiting. And America does have some beautiful places. Oh and maybe I should go to Las Vegas and try and catch sight of Chris Angel.... *talking herself back into it*

hehe the autobahns have no speed limit! That doesn't scare me though, German driving isn't too bad which is probably why they went "There's no need for a speed limit" and just left the roads free to all.

[Angel]

I've decided to frog out the bad parts, it wasn't lining up and was confusing me just too much, so I've removed the shirt and will do the head later. But I'm going to take my chart home and photocopy it.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Brave girl for frogging it -- I hope it didn't take too long? If it was always going to be bugging you it's much the best thing to get rid of the bad bit and start again, isn't it?

[Raven]

Thank you agi.

I think you missed the point Raven. America health and safety standards are far below ours. Maybe what my dad saw was the exception but I did also later say that the standards America sets are far below par with European standards.

**I got the point, was just making the point that not all Americans are like that. I wasn't upset or anything.

And considering the fact that red lights don't always mean stop in America I will die. I'll see traffic has red, cross a road and get run over. Or I'll go in a tunnel and die. I'm pretty sure America doesn't close off tunnels when tankers go through, and American driving makes my parents fear for their lives it's only a matter of time till someone crashes into a tanker in a tunnel. And American tunnels aren't built with escape plans. And with my luck I'll be in the tunnel that dies.

**Red lights, even blinking ones, do mean stop. The blinking one is like a stop sign: stop first, look around, then proceed with caution same as a stop sign. In the cities I've lived in most the lights were solid, non-blinking ones except one town (Claude, Texas) that literally only had one light and 6 buildings for downtown. Tiny tiny town. The light started blinking at 11PM. LOL No we don't close tunnels when tankers go through, though we don't have a lot of tunnels. If we did close the tunnels (say in New York or Boston) whenever a tanker went through, they'd always be closed as tankers (and other trucks) are driving all the time. Though there are rules governing how long a trucker can drive in a day, how long he must sleep before he/she can drive again etc etc. Most of our highways are above ground. There are some tunnels in some areas and in some of those no trucks are allowed, I hesitate to say all because I'm not 100% that is correct. If I remember right, which I might not, the Sumner Tunnel in Boston doesn't allow trucks at all. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just adding my thoughts and experiences to a conversation is all.

**I can see how our driving is scary. In many places it scares the heck out of me and I learned to drive in Boston. (supposedly one of the more difficult cities in the US to drive in) LOL I don't think I could ever drive in New York for example. To you we drive backwards, and vice versa. I would be terrified to drive in Europe. I figure it would take me 5 minutes (probably less than that) to flatten myself on a wall or something. I'm so used to "stay to the right" that I don't know how I would do staying to the left, probably real bad. LOL I already figured if I ever get to Europe (which I would love to do) I'll take cabs/taxis or walk everywhere rather than try to drive LOL

**Having no experience outside of the US I can't say whether we are below Europe or not, but we probably are. Sadly I think the US has fallen behind in many areas because we put our focus in the wrong places. Too many busybodies focusing on other things in the name of "safety" and "saving the children" rather than focusing on things that are more important like education and health care for example. If you have health insurance, its not too bad. If you don't have health insurance, forget it. To me, that is very sad.

And doesn't florida have insane weather?

**LOL Sometimes yes (hurricane season) but not all the time. I'm in the middle of the panhandle. Most of the time it is sunny and warm (in the summer it is hazy, hot, and humid every day). I find it rather boring actually and I miss the change of seasons that I grew up with in New England. But the weather is easier on my back so I'll take it I guess.

**Sorry to hear you had to frog. I hope it didn't take too long and you can get passed it quickly!

**Georgia is beautiful!

I want to go to GA, the very north East. Somewhere called rabun county. I think it's Mountain city that I want to go to.

Angel, I actually live very close to there! Why Rabun county? Just curious how you've even heard of it... Barely any popultion, but there are some gorgeous views!

[Angel]

My parents are thinking of moving to Pittsborough PA (Thinks that's right). There's a job waiting for both of them if they do decide on it. Paying roughly the same as what they're on now, but life in America is basically half price to over here. So they're thinking sell over here, move over there and be free from a mortgage.

The frogging isn't too bad. It's a shame to do it, but it won't take me too long to rectify.

Really? Oooh cool! Well several years ago I was on a religious forum and I used to hang out in the chat room with one lady, we'd PM all the time, find each other in topics and chat. So naturally when I left the forum we kept in touch over email. Over the years we have come to regard each other as sisters. She's in her late thirties and lives up by clayton/mountain city. She was working in Clayton I believe... *has temporarily mislaid the town map* But she lived... Just above Sylvan falls mill bed and breakfast. That's located between Clayton and Dillard.

She's shown me some amazing photographs and sent me maps and even a copy of "Laurel" chocca full of postits on places I have to visit. I've been meaning to go out and see her for absolutly ages! And I'm hoping to be out there in summer. Playing in the Tallulah river with her, getting our nails done in Asia nails (clayton) and getting fudge at the cottage door. There's a lot of other plans too. But they're on my map and not in my magazine and I can't find it atm. One of the resturantes I have to visit apparently is the Pachanga but I've never had mexican food before...

If you've seen the north Georgia community players theatre group, then chances are you've seen my big little sister ^_^ And if you have then the world is a very small place indeed

[AnimaValida]

Wow, that's random, isn't it? I live (sort of) in between where your friend is and Atlanta. I'm in a great place where the city I live in isnt too small or too big and I'm about an hour to the big city (Atlanta) or the small little towns nestled in the mountains. You should visit if you can.. it really is beautiful here. (At times... make sure not to come between May and August - it can get very hot and muggy and our pollen count is off the charts!)

[Angel]

*cowers from the pollen* Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I was meant to be there this June but...I didn't have the money. When would you say was a good time to visit? Bearing in mind I have hay fever and my idea of hot is around 70-80F

I'll be flying into Atlanta and possibly getting lost in the airport. So if you're between there and Lynn I can more than likely pop in and say hi. Big cities scare me. I was raised in a small town and spent most of my free time out on the hills with the horses and dogs. I can wander around Sheffield pretty easily because I've been there my entire life but other cities scare me. Especially when they're big. I mean Leeds scares me, but London terrifies me.

I'm starting to save for my trip already, it'll be so much fun!

[sammy_v]
