Agree to disagree, but this situation could have been avoided if you didn’t think of yourself as the Road Emperor of Springfield, Missouri.

I think the most frustrating thing about your responses to this thread is that you fail to see that if you drive defensively and got over the fact that other people will drive like idiots this entire thing could have been avoided. The lack of introspection and the perception of “I can do no wrong” you’re giving off is making people have no sympathy for your situation.

Or… hear me out… you could have stepped on your brakes and let them merge, waved, and gone about your day. And as a bonus, you could have even got over into what was the left turn lane at Fremont and Republic instead of driving to National.

I’m not taking up for the idiot drivers, I’m just saying that in this situation you were both wrong to varying degrees. Would it really have inconvenienced you to let them over? No. Especially considering you needed to get in the left turn lane. They probably ended up getting over behind you after the fact anyway.

I guess what it boils down to is it never hurts to be a defensive driver.

I wasn’t letting that happen because you’re supposed to yield to oncoming traffic, not ride the turning lane and expect to squeeze in front of me.

… and then when I wouldn’t let them cut in…

That’s exactly what happened, based on your post. If you weren’t trying to prove a point, then what were you doing?

I’m not saying the other people were right (they’re not, you’re supposed to pull across and directly into the travel lanes), but intentionally not letting someone in and speed-matching is only escalating the situation. That doesn’t make people learn to be better drivers, and it only increases the likelihood of a confrontation.

Driving to “prove a point” is never a great idea.

Does Mercy have a similar specialist? Or is your SO just wanting a second opinion? Mercy has a larger footprint than Cox, so they have access to more internal providers as opposed to referring out.

At the end of the day, do what is best for your kid.

u/Low_Passenger_3354 is this you again?

I mean, if you were actually a fan you’d probably wouldn’t be waiting to order merch four days before the Super Bowl… wink wink

But around here? You might luck out at a thrift store for some older eagles gear. Rally House just has the “dueling logo” knickknacks (pennant, lanyard, decals). Or you could check Facebook marketplace for some good ole bootleg gear, or order online with 2 day shipping.

Approximately $27,000 annually if you work full time, excluding taxes and benefits.

Edit for those of you that didn’t know: $1 per hour roughly equates to $2000 gross annual earnings when working a 40 hour week. Definitely makes some of the hourly wages look abhorrent when looking at jobs.

A “scenic” view of downtown Springfield! Look at all the rusty HVAC!

It’s just “American cheese product” from Kraft.

I cannot confirm or deny anything other than that I definitely ate Rice Krispies with chocolate milk and booted up Maplestory for the first time in a decade and a half last night…. Menace to society right here.

Heather Hill Farms in Ozark (behind Lamberts) has a huge cheese selection.

You can get a pineapple whip shirt during their “whip solstice” going on right now. They’re set up at Campbell and Walnut Lawn, and they have a drive-thru trailer set up.

Loco Roco Hot Sauce! He was talking about bottling it and selling it online, but I don’t know if he ever got around to it.

imagine being offended by a joke

Heart of America is the distributor for it down here. You could always call and ask. But having worked there years ago, I’m sure they’re still going to show preference to Hyvee, Brown Derby Wine Center, and Macadoodles on Independence. Those would be the top three places to check when they go live with the packaged sales. I guess the Price Cutter 50’s also deserve an honorable mention (Battlefield & 65, National & Republic, and Kansas & Republic).

My favorite is the stay-at-home mom’s that are furious about it. Sorry that your SPS “daycare” ruined your mid-morning white wine and Xanax parties this week.

Lucky J Arena in Carthage? I know there are some other place out that way that might be a good fit for what you’re needing.
