LOL -- you're absolutely right, I was typing my response to the first couple of lists while you were posting -- I saw it when I reloaded the page a little while later.
Let's see, aside from making me laugh -- which is a very good thing for me, and I thank you -- the juggling boggles my mind. I have a friend who can juggle -- and has the patter to go with it -- and I used to just watch in amazement. (Gotta tell you, though, about the good driver part -- this is what I laughed at -- I think I'm a very good driver, too. With my last car -- an '82 Toyota Tercel -- I knew that car so well I could and did do a fair amount of what looked to passengers like pretty reckless manouvering. Now, I *knew* that car like a second skin, but every time I'd say anything that sounded like 'I'm a good driver', my ex-bf would do that routine from "Rain Man" -- "I'm an excellent driver. Dad lets me drive the car on Sundays." The worst was parking in a parking lot -- I'd swing into a space pretty blithely, and ex-bf would *gasp* in fear -- because, from the passenger seat, he would be CERTAIN SURE that I was going to hit the car next to us. You know? I really loved that car...)
So, you decide: I ignored your post because I'm totally snubbing you, or....
Thanks for that laugh, and for bringing up that memory. Guess I can add another to my list...
Codicil to Racer's List:
I am an excellent driver...
