(Sniffing possible ozone)

Some story-flow questions:
Why did the married couple accompany you into your house? Do you live with them or were they visiting? You didn't make it clear why they wandered into your home and stayed for an hour.

Why did they sit in your house silently for an entire broadcast of the Beslen massacre? You write as if they were like your furniture.

Did you offer your guests food or drinks? They are friends and they do make the effort to haul your rear-end to work everyday. A nice merlot would help the Mrs. as she stomachs the carnage.

Did you and do you offer to pay your fair share of gasoline money for all rides (3-5$ a day by my calculations)? And let's not forget wear on the car. They don't seem like bad people helping you like this.

Do you offer your friends gifts for their generosity, besides the gift of this post? You just posted their shame on the most popular website in the world. I think a crystal vase for the wife is in order.

What did you do to lose your license? You said you drive like an idiot and one infers from that statement you lost your license...by being an idiot. Apparently this point (being an idiot) weighs heavily on the minds of your friends as they lecture you.

It's my opinion that you either made up the story wholecloth to make points with us or you are not aware of the karma that your driving-idiocy has led to your punishment carpooling with Mr. and Mrs. Liberal.

If it is a true story, I hope for your sake that your benefactors aren't FReepers reading your first post. There are liberals that lurk on the FR.

Made up my story? Should I line you up to drive 300 or so miles on my behalf? That is why I included the explanation of the situation up front.

I have been here for years and you think I made up my first post? If you think MM stepchildren don't exist, you are a fool. They are alive and well in the reddest state in the union
