When I had the accident with Blue, I was very calm and considerate of those who were in the other car. It was all very civil. This woman seems to be all about anger. And that's her problem. Sorry that you had to have that directed at you.Sydhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905032667627368277.post-8492461179508989552009-01-08T10:32:00.000-05:002009-01-08T10:32:00.000-05:00Kathy Lynne, <BR/>Do not be hard on yourself when unwarranted. You are in this matter. Shit happens. I have the depth perception of a mole and I can assure you that this should have happened to me. There was a lot more going on with her than this simple accident. People generally do not have this depth of reaction to a single incident. I will pray that she and you find your respective peace. This is not to judge her, just her behavior. You probably did smell alcohol. Thus the erratic failure to assist you in reaching just the steps to help fix the situation, i.e., call your agent. People are really amazing and we must always remember there are those out there much sicker than we realize. What a great post. The emotion will help me carry my day in better balance and that, my dear friend, is truly an extraordinary gift you have given me today.
