Am I the only one going the speed limit on Garrisonville Road. On a regular basis, I have vehicles riding my ass waiting for the next opportunity to cut me off. What is the problem? First off, I am driving 50 mph in a 45 mph zone; thus, I'm already speeding. When you get further down 610, past North Stafford High School, the road starts to dip and curve. Stafford is notorious for accidents

I remember when it used to be called Shoppers Food Warehouse. I love to go there for the big "colossal" donuts. If you haven't tried them yet, you've BEEN missing out. I first started eating them because they were cheaper than Dunkin Donuts. But I don't think they make them all day long; so I get them in the morning. Too bad they don't have maple. That became my favorite after spending some

I have been to the post office 2 days in a row now. I keep missing the mail lady (because she comes BETWEEN 1:30 and 4:30) and therefore I end up stuck with the same Netflix DVD repeatedly.There is a really cute postal worker. He must be fairly new because I haven't seen him previously and I am familiar with the other people there. I got to be attended by him both times!!! If he's your

Last weekend, I decided to go to Baltimore, which is my hangout-spot.  I think I got on I95 at around 5:30 p.m on Saturday.  No sooner had I gotten to either the Dumfries or Quantico exit, traffic was at a stand still.  WTF?  I thought I was escaping traffic by leaving so late.I enviously watched the HOV drivers speed up the highway.  Damnit, oh how I wish I had got on! I always wondered what was

Finally, I started an exercise routine about three weeks ago. I began with speed walking because my endurance is poor and my knees tend to swell after a lifetime of inactivity. I walk from an elementary school, to a middle school, or by a pool, or around another elementary school and through a neighborhood--anything to stay out of my own area. I don't want anyone I know noticing me; but if you

I went to Burger King on 610 because I thought they were the kings of milkshakes. The sign above the drive-thru window says, "Hold the tomatoes!" Apparently, tomatoes have been pulled off the shelf due to salmonella. Wow! I've never heard that one. And, the milkshake sucked. It was more like, melted strawberry icecream.Update! No tomatoes on my beef gordita supreme at Taco Bell.But I did

I usually order pizza every Friday. Where I come from, Domino's is the pizza of choice. It is good, but more than that, it is good and inexpensive. But every time I come to Stafford, my family reminds me that Domino's doesn't make the grade. Stubbornly, I have ordered it multiple time since I've been back here. And I have finally learned my lesson.Half of the time, Domino's is fine. The

I just logged out of MySpace and came across this ad:Is this for real? (I'll tell you later after I go to the site and check it out.) I know Stafford is full of fairly wealthy people, but if I had to guess, 98% of them are married. Maybe I should put my phone number on this blog so they can call me! Income is certainly attractive during this economic "slow down." :D

For 10 years now, Stafford County has been trying to become the former Prince William County (The new Prince William County is, well...we'll get to that later.).  They have been building and building.  We have shopping centers with real stores, real name brand restaurants, multiple commuter parking lots.  There is  a hospital in construction.  They are revamping the movie theater.  It just
