We are currently trying to have kids, so yes..and no. You kind of have to follow a schedule, but it's not like you set a time for it. You just have to make sure you stick to a routine, like every other day, and when that time of the month comes along, every day (or more often).

I'm in my 30s as well, and was not exactly a straight-edge kid in my youth. Right at the end of my college days we started seeing heroin around more and more. Right before I moved across the country, a friend of a friend died of an overdose. The following year, I started hearing about more and more of the people I had…

Actually, people around here do the zipper more often than not. I think deep down everyone is aware of what should be done, they just sometimes forget.

I'm not sure if you mean the metal electrodes on the handles, or the machine's display itself, but you can get a chest strap heart rate monitor that goes around your chest, and most machines will pick up the signal on their display. I found that those are more accurate (as long as it is positioned correctly).

I checked the location history, no data for either of my google accounts, and I'm logged into google maps on my phone.

And if you hold - I think - the rear defrost and max AC buttons together for 5 seconds, it resets the current settings as default.

Ah, yep $70 each way is a bit steep. Wasn't sure. My folks live on Martha's Vineyard, and a regular car on the ferry there is about that in the winter (more in summer). Of course out there you don't have another option if you wanna drive. I figured since the LI ferries compete with going the "long way" they might be a…

Have you tried one of the ferries? Port Jefferson or Orient Point, depending where on LI you are headed. I've heard good things about the experience but never used them myself.

I would trade in my Tacoma tomorrow if I could get a manual, 4x4, diesel Colorado.

I did have one in high school and let me tell you, fun was had.

Has anyone seen the movie The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke? Because this story really has that kind of vibe to it. Different profession, though.

Oh, I see. I couldn't remember but I knew it was in there at some point.

300 would not be enough to get me to trade up. It would need 350HP to feel appreciably faster than the Focus ST, I think.

I wish the Focus had a better front diff, but other than that I agree. I've lived with mine for around 14,000 miles now and it is a great little car.

I would buy the crap out of that car if it existed. I love our Focus ST, but it is not big enough for long road trips.

Pike's Peak hillclimb was in GT2 and 3, did they remove it? I honestly don't know.

Yes, absolutely. I love simulators, and agree there should be a driving one that has no real goals. You could also do what MS did in FSX and have missions available for those who choose to do them alongside a totally separate free-roam mode.

So basically, Microsoft Flight Simulator, but for cars.

I wanted to get a set of black steelies with snow tires - dunno about the hubcaps, I guess its a matter of taste...

I need to go a little easier on the poor thing. My tires are gonna be toast before I hit 20k.
