My aunt, who was a claims adjuster for over 40 years, drilled into me as a new driver to “never swerve!”  Toward the end of her career, she was responsible to bodily injury claims, and shared many a picture of a mangled car with me to prove her point.

The way the law reads around here, entering the intersection, even on a green light, without being able to clear the intersection pretty much right away is illegal. So, pulling out and waiting until it is red and the oncoming cars stop before you make your left turn is against the law. I am not sure it is ever…

For the Atlanta area, that’s a whole lot of BS. A few weeks ago, the average around the NE part of the Atlanta Metro was between $2.209 and $2.309 per gallon. Then, a couple of weeks ago, it jumped to nearly every station in the same area having a price of $2.499. And, on Monday, it jumped to $2.699 per gallon for…

I do not doubt you’ve had that experience, but, my experience, in general, has been that when 75/85 gets bad, it gets incredibly bad, and there is nowhere to escape to.  285 has some alternatives, at least, when there is something going on that snarls traffic, badly.  And, I think the difference in time outweighs the…

Stay off the interstates in the Atlanta metro area during rush hours (Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.), if at all possible. Don’t go through the city on I-85/I-75, unless you need to stop inside the I-285 perimeter (or, it’s the middle of the night, when there is the least…

I tried with Drive and Gmail, and cannot get this to work on my Note 9.  Any trick to it?

Exactly, and he’s essentially already owned one: The Bonneville SE is the same engine and body style. I had the SSE trim, and, while it was nice for it’s time, like everyone is saying, it’s time means the Buick is no longer up to today’s standards of equipment. Sure, the 3800 was an incredible engine, but so is the…

Interesting: I did not recall using my current email address with CafePress, but it shows as part of the data breach on Have I Been Pwned, so I went and tried to reset my password.  CafePress says, as I expected, that I do not have an account under that email.  So, now I have to wonder how accurate the breach data is.

I agree, as the use of “myself” seems to have, incorrectly, been accepted into the language as an objective pronoun, rather than a reflexive pronoun.

We have this sound bar and love it! When watching movies with Atmos, I keep thinking I’m hearing something coming from outside the house, since the sound does not appear to be coming directly from the speakers. It’s a very rich sound, and the bluetooth feature for playing music from a phone works well.

I had formal training, but only after I had developed a somewhat fast hunt and peck technique. Turns out, holding my hands at the proper positions and “touch-typing” hurts my hands. So, I’ve continued with my fast hunt and peck method, which is faster than it used to be. I scored 51 wpm, but, back in the day when I…

...house (Guard won’t be active while you’re home).

I’ve been getting non-stop emails making me offers to take down my 1-star review of a product sold by a Chinese company. It got so bad, I even contacted Amazon, and they told me the seller no longer had an account, which was a lie. They are still selling the item, along with everything else they sell, and they still…

Maybe if you add some bacon to that cauliflower “steak” you won’t mind what it’s called? :)

If I were to blatantly lie in my job, like the delivery services are lying about having delivered a package, I would no longer have that job.  I get that “stuff” happens, and packages don’t make it on time, but saying it’s delivered when it obviously is not is a completely different situation.

Me, too!

I was in a private school and went into first grade much too early, at five years old (I have a December birthday). I spent the entirety of my first grade in the principal’s office. Immaturity was probably only one reason I acted out, but, in any case, I was not prepared for second grade in the slightest. So, they put…

The very first Science Fiction novel I read was Between Planets, and I was hooked!  I owe RAH a great deal, given that I make my living by supporting technology, and my fascination and love of technology is due in no small part to my early exposure to Science Fiction.

I’ve heard that one is getting more prevalent. From what I understand, they just randomly call up rooms and launch into their spiel.  Since it’s often at an odd hour, a sleepy person is more likely to do what’s asked.  Info about this scam needs to be more widely known!
