I would have commuted for a few weeks if necessary. Or stayed with friends in town during the week days. When you are highly motivated, you can do what you’ve got to do. We spent three weeks in a motel, then stayed with family for a couple months in Port Orange. Commute to Orlando for work the last few weeks I…

Heh. Try retiring while in the midst of the loan application process. That really freaks ‘em out. We told them. They kept asking why we were looking for such a cheap house on our income level. We were also asked if I was really going to commute two hours each way to my job. They said underwriters would balk at…

LOL our new retirement home is close to the Ocala National Forest. The Jacksonville Navy air base folks fly over on the way to bombing practice a few days per month .  Did some googling and found that we are about 23 miles from the bomb range. On rare occasions they use live ordnance and we hear/feel it inside the…

Ha! Mrs. Wookie tortures Sims also.

So, yes indeed, our cars will become inconsiderate, egotistical pricks and A-Holes just like us.

Or, “Sorry sir. We had to amputate your penis.”

“Ow My Balls!” will be my favorite tv show.

The Pretty Woman shopping scene in reverse. Love it. Hope you spent an obscene amount at another store.

One of the greatest movies of all time . :)

Angelfire!

I’m old too. I remember the acoustic coupler of which you speak. I remember external modems, too. Those were the slow old days. Remember when you were hot stuff because you were the first to buy the new USR 14400 speed modem?

Remember the ad years ago for bacon flavored dog treats? Featured the dog nose camera view. That’s my reaction to bacon smells.

I had to memorize three things when we got married. Taco Bell, Mountain Dew, and chocolate. In copious amounts, just quietly slide it under the door. Eventually the magic food turns the Dragon back into the sweet fairy princess.

33? Just wait until you’re in your fifties!
