Also speedometers in cars are usually over-set a couple mph higher than you are actually going to help stop people speeding. Therefore if there was a speed camera, you probably weren't going fast enough to be flashed at. a little tip that might help – speed cameras usually set to 10% above speed limit. e.g. a certain road that runs from Edinburgh to Aberdeen has their speed cameras set to 77mph before the flash/take pics.

On #4 - amen to that. Jamie Arpin-Ricci has written quite a bit about being an introvert in church. On #9 - been there. done that. At least I learned from it (I hope). Grace is undeserved but let's be thankful for it... On #13 - it is the name of a church denomination though. On #16 - I think we've covered that before...grrr. Actually I think my church friends have finally got the message that my ambition in life isn't to get married. Or they've run out of single christian guys to suggest. The crazy cat lady life it is for me! :) On #17 - an actual weather one or a metaphorical one? Would like to know so I don't almost get crushed by a tree in George Square again (or anywhere else) On #1 – welcome to my world where a summer in a respite unit where hygiene is like…crazy strict (and rightfully so) combined with emetophobia led me to the strange habit of ‘dating’ foods when they’re opened and buying different coloured chopping boards, rubber gloves, cloths and so on in my own flat. oh dear.
