waiting for FH...he's home now =)

He left Elmont @ 3:40pm, heading to his parents in Kings Park.

Here we are, 4 hours later, and he is still more than 10 exits from the one he needs...

His cell died, the poor guy took cold medicine and he's all spacey... he just called me from a payphone in a Burger King 'cause he was hungry and had to use the potty...

poor guy!!! I wish elementary schools around here were hiring!

omg, I hope he gets home soon.

thanks tania... me too!

dont worry shorty he will be home soon! my Dh is working late he is doing a double so i dont know what time he is getting home he is going to call me before he leaves!

Hope he's home soon Nicole

I'm still waiting for DH too .. he's driving from Woodbury to Westchester and I have NO idea where he's at (I called his cell and he didn't have it on )

its not even like I'll see him tonight - I just want to know that he's home safely!! I hate that he works so far away.

Hopefully he'll be home soon so you don't have to worry. This weather stinks.

thanks everyone

he's home!!!!

4 hours and 30 minutes driving time... thats absurd!

He said the roads aren't even that bad anymore...its just that people drive like MORONS.

Glad to hear.

I'm so sorry he had to be on the road for so long but I am happy to hear he got home safe!

So glad to hear he got home safely!

That's what DH and I noticed too when we were out today. People decide since it's snowing out, they can make their own laws like
1) You're allowed to turn two lanes into one
2)It's okay to go through red lights (saw this a LOT)
3)Since you're only driving 2 MPH, it's okay to use your cell phone

Glad to hear your FH made it there okay!

I was out on the roads from between 7:30-9:30 tonight, and I absolutely do not agree that they weren't bad anymore.

The parkways still had snow, ice & slush. Some spots seemed ok, but before you knew it, you were back driving on roads that seemed like they'd barely been touched by a plow. There were plenty of cars that had spun off the parkways, and plenty of cars that were slipping and slidding.

The only people I noticed who were driving like MORONS were the people getting annoyed at those who were taking care in the slick conditions.

In my opinion, the biggest MORONS tend to be those driving SUVs and trucks ... who think they are invincible in these kinds of treacherous conditions, and fail to remember they are driving along side other cars that may not handle these conditions as well as their cars.

agreed!!! FH said they make him the most nervous...

I actually had a big pickup truck tailgating me for several miles tonight, flashing his brights at me.

Meanwhile, I'm in the left lane, passing cars .. and I have a car in front of me (about 3-4 car lengths ahead .. and that car has cars in front of it).

So what does jacka$$ do .. wait for a split moment to get into the middle lane, then cut back in front of me and slam on his brakes!!!

I was already slowing down from this jerk cutting me off, so I was prepared .. but when idiot finally gets off his brakes .. he ends up getting stuck and tailgating the very car that was just a few car lengths in front of me!!!



Where the F@!# did this a$$ think he was going to go?????

So much for keeping a safe distance between you & the car in front!

yeah, people can be very rude.

On the other hand, I can imagine its really rough to be stuck in traffic for 4.5 hours when your commute normally takes 45 minutes.

I try to stay off the roads when it's snowing - luckily, I work for a physical therapist that treats a lot of elderly patients, so we always close when its snowing. PLUS, it's only 2.4 miles from my house.

I can't really imagine a 45 minute trip taking 4.5 hours.

Was he stuck on the LIE?? If I heard right .. that shut down for a while tonight.

Bottom line, though .. there is NO justification for what a$$hole in the pickup truck did to me tonight.

Read cocoa(sp) post. She left her job in whitestone at 2:30 and got home to huntington at 9:30

He was stuck on the Cross Island, then the LIE til he switched over to the N. State - then he was stuck on there. He applied for so many jobs out here (Smithtown, hauppauge, npt, HHH, even Sachem) - he just couldn't find an 'in'.

He's just happy to have a job - not too many teachers retiring lately!
