What happened to chivalry? Has it died a PC death? I could never sit on a bus or subway next to a woman or senior without offering them my seat. That’s the way I was brought up. Why does there have to be a reason? Don’t say “Would you like to sit because your pregnant?” Just offer them the seat, if they refuse, then…

So, press the button then move the flashlight to a more comfortable position.....

Living in lower Michigan, near Ann Arbor, my cutoff is usually about 35-40 deg. I have a First Gear Kilimanjaro jacket and First Gear pants, both with zip out liners. I only use my Gerbing heated gloves if I need to. If I can keep my hands warm then the rest of me is OK. I have a fleece wrap to keep the cold air off…

“Excuse me while I whip this out....”

My two box kitties.

We buy eggs locally also, much much better.

Same here. I was with the BMW club on a camp out up near Traverse City MI last year, we had ridden 300 miles on the first day to the campgrounds. As we’re setting up tents, this HUGE motorhome, one of those ones that looks like a commercial bus, pulls through dragging a 20' enclosed trailer. It takes the driver nearly…

We’ve always used a set of flannel sheets and a nice heavy down comforter.

My first thought was “Kid sized brass knuckles, weird shaped though”.

I just read a book that’s almost the same plot called Caretaker.

How about a repurposed roof box................

I want one big enough to zap the radio of the a$$ next to me with his bass so loud it’s rattling loose my fillings.

We get fresh eggs from a local farmer couple of times a week. We only get 5 or 6, use them up and then stop and get some more. Never refrigerate or wash, just use them. The farm is on the way to/from work so when we need more I just stop on the way home. They taste a lot better.

I love the ones that at the end of the email they send, they’ll say something like “If you don’t think you’re a good fit for this position, can you put me in contact with someone that might be?” Like....no. You want to to help you do your job, after offering me a position that’s not even remotly related to what I do?

I so want to take my ‘05 Honda Accord and get it wrapped like this. Then I could drive around town and everyone would wonder what kind of new car it was.

Except that now you have muddy water and bug guts streaming all over your $100,00 Bentley (or whatever these things cost).

There’s a couple of lights near me that have no sensor, strictly on a timer. But pushing the pedestrian button will shorten the time some. If I’m on my motorcycle, and I’ve pulled up to a light that’s just turned red, I’ll put the bike on the sidestand and run over to push the button, then run back to the bike.

I lucked out, my wife of 28 years told me up front, she didn’t want a big wedding. We got married at The Chapel by the Lake in Lake Tahoe, weddings every half hour. We had a total of ten guests, and booked the large room at a local restaurant. The agreement with our parents was, this is the way the wedding was going…

Real question, I’ve never really understood the offside rule in soccer, someone have an easy explanation?

I don’t understand what everyone is bitching about. I grew up in SoCal in the mid-80's when they were spraying malathion from helicopters to control the fruit flys. The sub I lived in used to be an orange grove, every house had at least one orange tree in the yard, so our neighborhood was on the flight path for the…
