so i don’t use cruise control very often on my vehicle even though i’ve had it ever since i can remember. and i don’t speed. this totally drives the mr. crazy. i go exactly what the speed limit is. not one mile more and not one mile less (please stay off the road if you go 2 miles under the limit on the days that i’m driving!). if i’m speeding it’s completely by accident (honest mr. occifer). i don’t “trust” the cruise control. when you’re heading down a hill, it gets going faster than you’ve set it due to….gravity maybe?. and when you’re going UP a hill, it slows a bit and then VAROOM it punches it down to catch up. i like to be in control. 
those of you snickering can stop it right now.
so i FINALLY got myself set up with googlereader. i’ve been meaning to do it for a while but needed to marinate on it (read procrastinate) for a bit. i had been screaming through the blogs periodically looking for updates using both the MQR blog ring and my bookmarks. i tried to do it everyday (just on account that i’m nosy) but the ring and my list is just getting too long to get it done in one sitting. so i dutifully added all those addresses into my googlereader thing. and each day, i just have to check that and it tells me if anyone has updated their blogs. how excited was i to check that the first time?!?
i don’t trust it. (surprise!) only a few blogs are updated. i figure i must have done something wrong when inputing my information. so i run the blog ring and my bookmarks. nope, googlereader is working…..yous guys are just not updating much. or maybe i was just re-reading posts and enjoying them a second time without realizing i had already read it.
at any rate. i have cruise control but i use my foot peddle. i have google reader but i use the ring and my bookmarks. yeah, i have issues.
ROTFL.. I never use cruise control!! I have visions of it being stuck and not coming off of it
As for google reader… I have it, it doesn’t update as fast as they come out for me.. I probably have something wrong… but for the wordpress blogs, I use the blogsurfer option in the dashboard… and then I use mycomments in the dashboard for the wordpress blogs I have commented on. Hope that helps!!
ROFLOL
Google Reader doesn’t update instantaneously, but yes, I would say that 99.9% of the time you can trust what it says.
And I’m pretty sure you can trust your cruise control, too, but if you truly have control issues, it’s probably not worth the hit to your nerves to chance using it.
Do you stitch with a stitch regulator???
You may not speed….but tailgating is another issue……. (said as she ducks for cover)
Also have been riding with with Olive as she has a bit of road rage – she can make her big Ford truck go Vrooooooom around someone as she is saying words that I have to cover the Princes ears!!! Most of the time she is a very good driver though and I’m not scared to ride with her!!! (also ducking for cover with Sybil!!!)
Kay, my googlereader isn’t working right because I have not received any of your updates. Now I have to go read all these blogs.
how sad that my sisters are such little skinny liars. i totally would hunt them down and inflict major pain but everyone knows how calm, cool headed, non-cussing, and gentle i am. so i won’t. (this time)
thanks jan, i’ll check out those options.
and suzanne, since you asked so very nicely (without tattleing on me for ANYTHING), yes i do have a stitch regulator…..but i don’t always use it. sometimes. even most times sometimes. but not always. i will say i used the machine for at least 3 years before i used the stitch regulator regularly.
