Why do you care?

Personally, I use this technique quite frequently. It provides a pause between thought processes while continuing the same general direction of the conversation. I find it generally amusing that anyone should have the gall to attempt to persuade me HOW I should be texting or communicating. I know everyone has a job to…

The long-term answer is Hydrogen. Period.

OMG! 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille with a 500ci engine. What on earth was I thinking?

Perhaps I’m fortunate, but my daughter has never once in her entire 14-year-old life ever had a tantrum. I would see parents in grocery stores with sobbing children pointing at everything with great desire while their parents were trying to calm them. I never understood it. Is it something that is learned to be…

It’s a plant that grows naturally in the ground. It’s not manufactured. If you want to regulate it, that makes sense. But illegal “weed” has been ridiculous and overboard for way too long. Just develop a testing methodology so idiots are not driving around confused and dumbfounded looking for Doritos.

I admire Jen and her viewpoint. Kanye, although a joke, simply isn’t funny...political aspirations aside. Why, specifically, is he famous?

I have never encountered such horrendous drivers until I lived in Nebraska. I think Nebraska people wake up with brand new ideas on how to drive terribly.

I’m considering picking up a set of these with a new Pixel 5 next week. Any (non-haters) out there have any advice on whether it’s a worthy purchase?

My buddy had a 1973 Corvette Stingray. The gas door is right in the middle on top of the back deck of the car. It was always awkward putting gas in ensuring none spilled on the paint. Dumb design in my world. (?)

This may or may not help, but it’s also always opposite the side of the (single) exhaust...if you pay attention to that kind of thing.

Sure. But a period or not being a factor is moot. Seriously? I have to concern myself to rid my behavior of the (correct) sentence structure to accommodate someone? No thanks.

I, for one, do not think this should be a story at all...let alone one that takes this long to read. Text how you want to text. Interpretation is not a problem with which to concern yourself. The message is what matters.

The answer to this continuout question is always “Spend less than you make.”

UNLESS...the parking lot is angled parking (not squared grid as shown above), then it’s almost always not a great idea because you’re pulling forward into oncoming traffic.

I waited patiently in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014...for that Mazda6 diesel. It never showed up. I bought a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze diesel. It’s a really great little car. I’m ready for a different (larger) format (Jeep Wrangler diesel), but this little 50MPG darling has been nothing but awesome. Some electronic issues that…

All pretty good stuff. I got a beater truck (‘92 GMC Sierra K1500 5.7L manual transmission) with ~300,000 miles on it. And I baby that thing like it’s on life support. It starts every single day. South Dakota winters and all. Drive ‘em ‘til the tires fall off people.

I got this buddy I’ve known for 40 years. He approached me one time asking for a “loan” and we set up a repayment plan. He paid me in full plus interest. Asked again, same thing. One more time...same result. I can afford it. He has been a stand-up guy since I’ve known him. Had he not paid me back...well...I would have…

Jeez. Rage much? :)

Just follow the advice my mom gave me many years ago...don’t outlive your income. Do not envy what others have and enjoy what you’ve got for yourself.
