1. kljkljl;jkl;

2. I wouldn't do it...but maybe that's just me.

[New Earth]

4. i might not have a choice

it's the cheapest way. dont have much longer to make any other plan to get there. i am not spending all the money on a bus or train again. can't find anyone going from my general area :shrug:

[Goldeneye]

8. You're lucky you live close enough to drive

maybe you should do it....how often do you get to protest the chimp?

[New Earth]

9. also

the place where i'm staying is in Maryland. it's not like i have to drive through the city. we can just take the metro from their house.

[RaulVB]

3. No. Play safe!

We need your comments when you're back.

5. Faye, Can You Drive To A Place It's Easy To Commute From?

I live on eastern Long Island- the trains are diesel and infrequent.

To go to NYC, I drive one hour west to the electric trains & commute from there. Saves gas and time.

[New Earth]

7. i will be staying at someone's house.

so i dont' think i will have too much trouble finding a place to park. we will be taking a metro from there and all around.

6. Don't go

It might snow and it's going to be freezing cold here.

No kind of weather to break down in.

[Time for change]

10. I'd like to help you Faye

But since November 3rd I have lost all confidence in my predictive abilities. So I will have to abstain.

[New Earth]

11. can you at least vote

on whether you think i should do it? i mean it's only a 2 hour drive. thats about what i drive on thursdays and fridays anyway, takking my daughter to school, home, to her dads, home again, etc.....

i just want to have more yes's so i feel more comfortable doing it. lol

[Time for change]

24. Ok, I give up

At your direction I'll vote yes. But I don't have time to go looking for the poll now, so please be my proxy the next time you visit that site.

[New Earth]

12. dammit guys

vote yes!

13. I drove a 1984 Thunderbird

From Dallas to Phoenix over the holidays through cold weather.
It has 200,000+ miles on it and we made it great without a hitch!
Remember--sometimes those old POS cars aren't that bad!
What kind is it by the way?

[New Earth]

14. it's

a '93 Oldsmobile Achieva. it's my baby :(

[Horse with no Name]

16. Oldsmobiles are great cars

And go a long wayss!
I believe in getting my moneys worth out of a car--hence the 94 Tbird (Big Red) with 200,000+.
I had a 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais(The Old Gray Mare) that I drove 298,000 before she (rest her soul) died. I had a party planned at 300,000,lol.
Seriously--if you can drive around town without difficulty--stalling, etc...I would say go for it.
Trust me--I do alot of driving--a car will give you more problems in town with starts and stops than it will on the open road so that is a good indicator if you aren't having problems.
Take it to a full service gas station-fill up with a high grade gas--ask them to check all of your fluids--make sure you mention you are driving it for a trip. I have always found as a lady that the mechanics at the station will tell you if they have reservations about taking it on a trip.
Its a good way to get a little peace of mind advice without paying someone to put it on a rack.

17. i believe i already read what you have to say

and i replied. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2457189&mesg_id=2458403

thanks, but i don't need your insults.

[Mistwell]

18. You posted in two places...

...so I responded in two places. I've responded again in the other thread.

What I said was not meant as an insult. I'm sorry you took it like that.

BTW, I find it ironic that you said I never post positive things, given that I posted this just today:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=288269&mesg_id=290170

I'm not negative in general Faye...I'm just decisive, and I trust in my experience, instincts, and ideas. When people go off on paths I think are highly unproductive for progressive causes despite good intentions, I try to nudge people back to a more productive path. To me, that is a very positive thing to do.

[New Earth]

19. well

i don't think i've seen anyone phased by your nudges, so to me it's not having a very positive effect.

21. whoah

i guess i don't want to know what that said....

[Mistwell]

22. Honestly

I have no idea why it was deleted. It was not a particularly negative message.

It looks like ALL messages I wrote to you saying that you should make the decision yourself were deleted. Apparently you have a mod who looks "kindly" on you and is afraid your feelings were hurt by someone tellling you the truth without fawning words.

Anyway, you know you have to go to the protests, because you would regret NOT going, but would not regret going but failing to get there. That was the sum of my last message, said a bit harsher than that.

23. If I had that chance I would take it in a heartbeat, do it for those of

us too far away to go.
