Or so I thought! I have been driving for over 32 years. In that time, I have shown that I’m a pretty good driver. Being a pretty good driver probably means that you know the rules and regulations of the road, right? Well, not so fast. What you think and what you actually know are two totally different things. At least when it comes to the driver’s exams.
My daughter just turned 15 years old. Later this week she is going to be taking her driver’s permit test. She said she’s nervous about it and I really didn’t understand why. I told her it is going to be a cakewalk. I told her that she’s going to pass very easily because she’s very smart. I told her that I was going to identify some online resources so she could do some practice testing before the actual test itself. What a great way to prepare her for it. So I decided to take the practice test myself, and I failed miserably! Not only once, or twice, but five different times. I swear they added new things to this test that they didn’t have when I was 15 years old. I think I have some studying to do!
I encourage all parents of teenagers to take a look at some of the online permit tests that are available and see how you do! Perhaps you will do better than me. Because you can’t do much worse! 😂

That’s It, I’m Done
If you’ve listened to my show the last few weeks, I’ve been talking at length about my kidney stone. I had surgery over a week ago to remove the stone, then my urologist put in a stent into my kidney. Well, I finally had that stent removed and everything seems to be good! I do […]

This Time It’s Painfully Different
If you have listened to my ramblings over the past couple of weeks regarding the kidney stone, you’re probably sick of hearing about it. But I can assure you not nearly as sick as I am of dealing with it! I had surgery on Tuesday morning to remove the stone. At least, that’s what I […]

A Cell Phone At How Old!?
I saw a post on Facebook the other day from a guy whose seven year old daughter has a cell phone. I think for most of us, that seems a little young. And the general consensus in the comments section of the post was exactly that. Lots of different opinions were represented! That brings up […]
