Yep, the traffic turtles are the worst.

For me, when I mean spontaneously combust, I'm talking more about just becoming an exploding supernova and blowing out of life to get away from things like a terminally ill sister, huge life changes, too much nervous energy, sadness and anger about an imminent family loss that are making me depressed, lack of sleep, etc. I've got some heavy things going on in my life right now.

I hear what you mean about exploding in response to folks who piss you off, though, Oreo. If it makes you feel any better, as you get older and more educated, there'll be fewer of those. Or perhaps it's just that you learn to let them roll off your back more. Here on the boards, I think the thing is to simply steer around the angry young punks until they go off and self-destruct--or go on back to school, where they'll certainly not distinguish themselves with courteous behavior, either.

You're a good person, Oreo. I always enjoy visitng with you on the boards here. Take care!
