I’ve generally been a Ford fan. I’ve had two classic Rancheros (67/78), and two Mustangs (66/06). I’ve had a lot of others, but always came back to Ford. When I bought my recent car I wanted a hybrid since I log so many miles. I looked at Ford’s offerings, and they sucked. Ended up with a Kia Niro PHEV, and it is one…

My wife and I are foster parents and homework has always been an issue for our FS. He stresses about it, because it is usually Math, which is his worst subject. Eventually I told him that I would talk to his teacher. If he could prove that he could do the work asked in class (getting the concepts and doing well on…

My elementary school offers a before and after school program. Space is limited, but they haven’t hit capacity yet this year. It is free and sponsored by the local YMCA, so they offer some cool things for the kids to do, like a run club and martial arts. My wife and I have offset work hours, so I leave for work around…

Does $3k in savings on a car really matter that much. I’m not buying Telsa or BMW levels of cars, but $3k is minuscule compared to the cost of a new mid-level car right now. I mean, if I was looking at a Kia Rio or some other budget car, $3k might be a big deal, but what are people actively buying right now? Aren’t…

Just had to do the same to my cat last week. She was about the same age as well. I still walk into the room and expect to see her on the bed, and go grab her bowl when its time to feed the animals. I’m sorry for your loss.

They[’ll all be 10+ minutes. 85 minutes total and only 7 tracks.

Amazon has it for $37 as well

This has become my role in the last few years. We normally ordered take out from the Italian place we grew up eating at. Once my wife and I started picking it up, and seeing how much the cost was, I told everyone that I would do it the next year for a lot less money and better quality.

I was at Kia this past weekend to buy a new car. It was very difficult NOT to test drive one of these. I knew that if I did I would be leaving in one most likely. I really miss my old 2006 Mustang and its sportiness, but sadly I needed something with much better mpg ratings. Sat in a Stinger while waiting for the…

Mine too

Great track. Really looking forward to the album.

A half marathon isn’t that bad. I absolutely hated my first one, but really enjoyed my second. A full marathon (for now) is the distance I see as crazy, and anything beyond that. The biggest annoyance is the boredom an hour or so in. I much prefer the 10k distance (for now) though. I once thought anything beyond a 5k…

I’ll have to try this after my half marathon in June. I had an alcoholic beer after my last half, then another a couple of hours later when the pain was setting in. Both helped a lot to relieve the aches going into the next day. I did feel sluggish and bloated though after the drinks.

Really wasn’t a fan of Legend as Jesus. He and Pilot just felt out of place with how well everyone else was doing. Totally agree with the misuse of Alice Cooper. From the beginning I thought he’d make a better Pilot than Harod. Aside from them, I think the whole thing worked a lot better than previous “Live” specials.…

I was just in Nola for a work thing in Feb. I was wondering why all of the strip clubs and such were closed (not that I intended to patron, just a curiosity). If they’re trying to do this to clean up Bourbon street, they’re going after the wrong vice. Seriously. They would need to shut down 3/4 of the bars just to…

I’m from SoCal and drove up to the Portland area for a work thing a few years ago. I can attest that it is a gorgeous and magical place. We drove through Cali through the night in the pouring rain. We came through Grants Pass right as the sun came up and the rain halted. It was an amazing thing. I keep planning on…

I really don’t understand how someone could be a college/university president for 40 years and still be useful. The college that I work for, which is one of the top undergrads in the country, has only been around for something like 60 and we’ve had something along the line of 8 presidents. Each brought their own way…

One of the biggest things that worked for me as far as diet was just to stop eating out as much. It saves a ton of money, I feel better, and I eat less. Eventually this became a thing where I don’t like buying “boxed” meal types of things. One day of the weekend my wife and I will do some meal prepping for lunches and…

Pretty sure the drama helped bury this tour. If the stuff with D’arcy didn’t come out I am sure they would have done a little better to sell tickets. That coming out just reminded people that Billy is a D-bag, and they’ve sucked for more years than they’ve been good. Really not sure why they thought doing an arena…

Those f’ing Riddler trophies. Ugh. While some of them are interesting puzzles, there are too many of them that are just randomly placed on ledges and whatnot. I got them, and the end result of that was good, but it was just a pain in the rear.
