Do You Live Life In The Fast Lane Or A Gentle Drive Out Along A Rural Road? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life2 months ago

For me in my youth I guess I was always in the fast lane never taking time to stop and relax whereas as I have got a bit older I see it more like a gentle drive along a countryside lane sometimes having to speed things up a bit and hit the motorway/freeway before relaxing back down the quiter roads. How is your life, fast lane, gentle drive or a mixture of the two?

Hi,
I hope my income will be in fast lane and my life will be in gentle drive. I am still a student and I am trying my very best to make money online. I hope all my efforts will pay me and I will make money from fast lane to enjoy my life in gentle drive. lol

Hi Sdas, Well that is a great way of looking at it so I really hope you find the success and wealth you are striving for to be able to fulfil the dream of the gentle drive. Ellie:D

Best of luck and have a nice day. thumbup

Ellie33, I am the worst person to ask that, and its coming from you.

Girl I live in the slow lane but here i travel well over a 100 miles an hour.

I think on the run and I do a thousand things at once,

Now BB,jump on board and ill give you a run and see if you can keep up with me.

You must remember my last one was 20 years younger than me,
And I think I may have ran her into the ground, she must have been all puffed out, haha,

Got a ticket Ellie333.

LUV YA, xo, HICCUP/


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

shockedlol You make me laugh Hiccup you really do!

So its you that drives those fast ferraris round my quite country lanes at speed eh! You will have overtaken me and left me puffed out at the first bend! LOL.

Ellie:D

ellie333, if that little picture is you I would say there are many miles left in you yet,
And me, do you need a car to go that fast, silly me I was doing that on foot.

I think at times we must be twins! I am exactly like you were. When I was young I lived life in the fastest lane on the road of life! Never home before 4:00 a.m. and get up in a couple of hours to work and then out again. I did this for more years than I care to count!

But the last few years I am definitely the countryside lane type. Nothing better than taking it slow, watching the world go by and definitely smelling the roses! happysleep


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

Hi Sagesunicorn, Oh I remember those days/nights well. I got home mostly in time to have a shower, get changed and then off to work to then come home to change to go out again and sometimes there wasn't even time to do that straight out from work, not quite slippers and cocoa yet but I love to talk a walk down town the sccenic route and stop and watch the world go by too thesedays. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 91/100. sagesunicorn (396)   ranked 1,868 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

Yeah, I'm not slippers and cocoa yet either although at times I feel like I am! A nice drive down that country road sounds good right about now, either that or a good game of bowling!!! lol

I tell my husband that he has 2 speeds: go like heck and sleep. Our life is definitely a rather curious mixture of the 2: life in the fast lane at times, then, a gentle drive on a rural road at other times.

In my younger years I was quite competitive, quick, and a workaholic. Now, I don't think a person would use any of those words to describe me. I find myself wanting to stay home more, taking it easy alot, and just generally hanging out at home.

Interesting question, ellie333.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

Hi PearlGrace, your response reminded me of a guy at work who I call Speedy and this is because I say he has two speeds STOP & SLOW LOL. Lovely guy but I know if I am shifted on with him I will have to work twice as hard as he doesn't yet know the meaning of the word!. Ellie:D

I tend to live in the slow lane these days Ellie.
Well I have always lived in the slow lane, but these days it is slower still.
I hate having to rush, so I just take things nice and easy.


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

Hi Goodie, I am still a bit of both really even though far more relaxed these days sometimes I have to go back out in the fast lane and it is a very tiring experince LOL. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7154)   ranked 745 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

I could never handle the fast lane Ellie.
I was born in a small country town, and was completely freaked out when I went to like in a city.

I am a forty year old lady. But I don't think I ever lived life in the fast lane. I have always taken a more long and winding road approach in life. Yes, sometimes there is a rush to get things done. I just enjoy the scenery in my life and it works out better for me. I'd probably have to say a gentle drive is my approach now a days. wub


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  2 months ago

Hi babmkelly,Thats great that you have always taken the long and windy road as you always get there in the end but just so much more enjoable and less frantic than rush, rush, eh! Ellie:D

Hi ellie,

Recalling back my life from kids until now, It's always a gentle drive for me...Although life those time was hard for us since only one in the Fsmily has an income, but we manage to have another resources through hard work and cooperation of each member of the family..So, it was never a fast lane for us..

Even now, I would say, it is still gentle! There are moments that we have to work hard but we always take time to stop and feel around, feel the blessings and appreciate the beauty of life, even if it is challenging most of the time!happyhappyhappy


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Hi Checapricorn, That sounds like an idyllic lifestyle to have. I have to veer out into the fast lane at times but these days it is a much gentler ride more like what you describe. Bliss. Huggles. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 98/100. checapricorn (6036)   ranked 246 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

That's great ellie! take your time! But, there is also nothing wrong with fast lane..LOL! It only needs more energy and more drive! LOL! happyhappythumbup

Ellie..
Mine has to be a bit of both & my mood reflects that.It can easily be picked up in my words & sometimes even actions.Slow is boring to me,i cant sit,stay, be that way if nothing is going on.Its then i go do multiple tasks...jumping on & off buses..running to places,returning..i know theres things to be done.Racing thoughts.
Should i shoudnt i.Back to sitting down,from where i am sat i can see part of Falkirk/Grangemouth.I have crossed that imaginary bridge many a time.A very long hard sprint to a place that is only there in my mind...some sort of adrenaline rush.
Then theres the complete STOP,nothing or no one exists.Its just me top o the hill
& nothing can or will tell me to come down.I guess its a mixture of running,walking,jogging,all at the same time.
Weird huh,yep thats me LOL..did you get any of that? lol


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Hi LoudnProud, Wow what a description and yes I did get all that and re reading I feel that sometimes you encourage the fast lane to relieve the boredom that kicks in after being sat at the top of the hill for too long, it is almost like you need to create the activity, sounds so exciting, lonely at times but a real FUN ride of life. Ellie:D

hello ellie

Do You Live Life In The Fast Lane Or A Gentle Drive Out Along A Rural Road? when i was a teenager and in my early twenties, i felt the need for speed as well. lol these days, it is life in the slow lane. i never speed anymore, especially when i have my boys in the car with me. don't get me wrong, somedays, i am so busy i do not know what to do next, and other days, i sit around without anything to do at all. lol funny isn't it? but life in the slow lane is nice thou. i enjoy all of the days that i do not have to leave my house, especially when it is cold outside. and i couldn't think of any songs pertaining to life in the slow lane, so here is "Life In The Fast Lane" by the Eagles. crank it!

have a beautiful day today!


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Hi What a beautiful song and I will go in to ahve a listen once again as I haven't heard in a long time to relive once I have posted. I guess that is about where I am too as I have a little one I never speed even thoug his pace at times is a bit hectic. LOL and thanks for sharing. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Love the pic of the car in the vid, reminded me of the fast and the furious film LOL. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 95/100. RLFinNash (5750)   ranked 141 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

your very welcome.

 
10. myLot reputation of 94/100. p1kef1sh (3051)   ranked 465 out of 26,366 in life   2 months ago

Mostly I am in the slow lane these days Ellie. However, my guilt about not contributing to the society that I put so much into over the years is such that occasionally I try a little fast lane driving. But the sports car that I used to drive is now a granddad car and, on a good day, can only give the illusion of keeping up with the sportier models. I watch the scenery go by and increasingly feel that I am not a part of it. I think soon I may stop altogether!


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Hi P1kef1sh, Don't you ever stop! Thats an order, what would me and Goodie do withou you eh! You drive at what ever pace you want except stop, I've cut the brake pipe and the handbrake cable so you keep going LOL. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 94/100. p1kef1sh (3051)   ranked 465 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

Thank you Ellie. I'm going downhill now and there's a large wall at the bottom. My brake don't work!!!! Aaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!


myLot reputation of 89/100. ellie333 (4644)   ranked 708 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

lol There is an escape lane to the left if needed. Ellie:D


myLot reputation of 94/100. p1kef1sh (3051)   ranked 465 out of 26,366 in life  1 month ago

The one with the juggernaut parked in it, or the other one where an elderly couple have their camp chairs out and are enjoying their hard boiled eggs and the last of the weekend's roast chicken in their sandwiches? LOL.
