What do you think about folks who live their entire lives following the rules? Do you feel contempt/admiration? Are you one of them? Why?

I was known as lead-foot Rosie is these here parts in my younger days. I LOVE to drive fast. I LOVE the sensation. I usually go faster than the posted speed limit but not by much unless it's out on the open road (Highway 5 connecting southern and northern  California is a perfect place to let 'er rip!) Otherwise I'm pretty much on the straight and narrow even when no one is looking. You haven't signed off yet m'dear. Insomnia? Thank you for your reply Didge! :)

I not only call Mrs Didge Leadfoot Lynne I wrote a parody about it and sing it to her while she's driving. (I even included it in my novel.) You're obviously two very fast  ladies. And, no, it's not insomnia. It's nearly 11.30 and I'm about to sign off but I had some things to do before going to bed. Catch you tomorrow. :)

Happy Dreams! Maybe that's why we click. Two fast ladies living thousands of miles apart may have things in common and so a few things about me is familiar to you because your wife and I share them! It's a small world! :)

Hey Rosie, I have lived in Moreno Valley and Wildomar and those back roads was a great place to let it rip.
No traffic and no cops.
Those were the days.

Moreno Valley? That's where our Kaiser clinic is located and our doctor. When was that Lulu's Mom? Jim and I lived in Riverside until 2007 when we moved to Hemet in November. Were you in Moreno Valley  then? Wouldn't it be a kick if we had actually passed each other on the street or shopped in the same market at the same time?  Small world! Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday Lulu'sMom! :)

I lived in Moreno Valley when it was still Sunnymead.
That was in 1969.

Thanks for including WHY it depends Bozette. That is a complete answer. "It depends" on its own all alone  never has,never will. Doesn't answer anything.  Happy Sunday m'dear! :)

I was a painfully shy child and the vestiges of that remain within though I am now 79.  I like solitude and alone ness because I am never lonely. I enjoy people when I'm in the mood. When I'm not I am not a good companion. But I always followed the rules. They were never in conflict with logic or safety. I slide past speed limits by only about 5 miles because I figure anything more than that makes me a target. Now in my younger dats you're looking at Leadfoot Rosie. Going up the 5 from LA to San Francisco? Boring. Hundreds of miles of boring. One is forced to stay awake and the only way to do that is go with the flow at high speed. 95 mph is the most I ever did. You become one with the highway. One doesn't do that in the city or surface streets. That's just asking to be nailed. I'm a loner but at work I'm definitely a TEAM PLAYER. So I only did as I pleased with the knowledge and support of my boss. He did value my independence but I would NEVER have put him in an untenable position. I prefer to work alone most of the time. But on team projects you won't find a more enthusiastic player than me. So I'm not sure how much alike we are but thank you for your reply m'dear! :)

It's hard for me to relate to a saint Lulu'sMom.  I'm far from that so I like to be around folks who are my cuppa tea. I admire/respect saints. From a distance. Having dinner with one? I"d be a nervous wreck! Thank you for your reply! :)

I have known a few people who acted like saints and they were boring as hell.
I am like you Rosie, I like to be with people who know how to have a good time.

Yep. Normal folks who aren't full of themselves! They're my people! Thank you for  your reply Lulu'sMom! :) ((hugs))

Really BIG important rules Zack or tiny ones? I've always been able to have a good time following rules but I'm not adventuresome/advernturous. Probably not brave either. I have no interest in taking a walk on the wild side or stretching limits. Never done drugs. Scared to death of them. I drink alcohol but in moderation. My throat shuts after a second drink. I'm not kidding you. I literally cannot drink more than 2 of anything. Not for years and years. So I don't push that limit. I"m a homebody so my natural environment is safe. I think guys generally are more inclined to take risks although I know that there are some gals who are risk takers too. My younger sister was a risk taker. She moved out to live with a girlfriend when she was 17. They both got jobs and did  just fine. I moved out at the age 20 because I got married.  So I guess my norm is safety first. Playing it safe. Jim is 81 and would LOVE to go skydiving or hangliding! I think that's nuts! Have you ever been skydiving? I have a fear of heights so that's the LAST thing in the world I'd want to do. I'd probably pass out before I could pull the cord and splat I'd go!  Thank you for your answer. When you follow the rules you don't have to look over your shoulder or fear answering the phone or door. I couldn't live like that! :)
