I got a speeding ticket today. Going at the speed limit takes all the fun out of driving.

On the plus side, the officer wrote that I was only going 40 in a 35 instead of the actual 54.

Yeah, hitting someone or something or causing an accident because you are going 20 mph over the limit...that could REALLY take the fun out of it too...

I have never had or caused an accident. I don't text or answer my cell while I'm driving, don't even turn it on. I leave a large space between my car and the one I'm following so if they need to make a sudden stop, I don't rear end them. I don't put make up on while I'm driving nor do I drive with children fighting in the back seat.

Speeding does not cause accidents, distractions, inexperience, and following too close does.

Add a little catnip and they'll feel like they won the lottery.

"Speed is involved in about one out of three fatal crashes, according to NHTSA. It is the third leading contributing factor to traffic crashes. But while injuries and fatalities due to other dangerous behaviors, such as driving while impaired and not wearing seatbelts, have been significantly reduced, speeding is still a challenge."

Ain't it the truth!!!! I could use a few extra rolls of those cheap paper towels right now. Puppy enjoys making lots of messes and spills and dirty paw prints..... I'm waiting for Gidget and Vamp to paper-towel my trees, then I'll be set.

Speed DOES cause accidents, and you are naive to think otherwise. Just because you don't text or talk while you drive, doesn't make it okay to speed. You are bragging like you are proud that you were doing 54 in a 35 mile zone.... you deserved a bigger ticket because you clearly don't get it. 20 miles over in a local 35 mile zone???? and you think you have good judgment????

OP, A local Animal Shelter would gladly take those Paper Towels off your hands!

OMGosh ITA, Bounty Basic is terrible. I've had better store brands.

You guys are so funny, I love your creative ideas !!! lol !

But really, donate them to a mission, food shelter, or whatever, in a big lot, ask for a receipt, then itemize them for tax deductions. Best I can offer you.
