My GF just got a new Ford Escape. Maroon. I have done this twice since October. The first time, the lady even handed me her purse..."I'M SORRY MISS! WRONG CAR! WRONG CAR!" and bolted. The second, no one was in there. Dumb ###.
Doesn't help me. It was the 80's, and her car was a '64 Plymoth Valiant. None of the other cars looked like it.Tony Jabroni said:
I think it shows your judgment is getting worse as you get older.
I told my kids the same thing my mom told me when I got married. I'm here for the occasional helpful afternoon watching kids in a pinch, but I'm not free full time day care. I can't imagine doing this in my 60s. But I realize everyone is different. Good luck!
Yea I think your right about my judgment. It's just daycare was going to cost them damn near a grand a month. So I guess this proves the older I get the less judgment I have and that I'm thinking the older you get the harder it is to deal with a 3 month old baby.I think it shows your judgment is getting worse as you get older.
Whatever happened to the cool bright colors, or pastel they used to use back in the 50s and 60s? It seems there are only a few colors to choose from now and all of them are your basic dark red, dark blue, black, white, gold, and silver, with some dark maroon, and occasionally royal blue (but not many) thrown in. One exception are some bright red colors which like. It just seems to me car paint jobs aren't as pretty as they used to be.
Sounds like a good way of not getting in someone else’s car is to buy some white walls or chrome rims for your ride.
I would bet you'll be able to adjust to this far easier than your daughter and her family would be able to adjust with $1,000 less per month. IMO.
Yes that's the reason we are doing it. We will get a little trade off though her husband is real handy. We need some stuff done around the house that involves the use of a ladder. Which I am definitely to old to be climbing up on.
Isn't child care cost something you consider before deciding to have a child? I guess the fact your line of thinking bothers me a bit is just another sign that getting older makes one a curmudgeon. So add that to the list.
Aught songs are now officially classic's, ugh.
Last year, I got in an Uber after a few beers. Nice young foreign fella as a driver. Couldn't understand a word of what he was saying. Smiled and nodded and proceeded to **** with my phone while I waited for him to start driving. I was probably posting here. Maybe a minute later I got an alert on my phone that my Uber would be arriving in 1 minute. Ooops. No wonder he kept jabbering and wouldn't drive.
If one thought about all the bills that come rolling in with kids there wouldn't be any. Or there would be 1/2 as many as roughly 1/2 the children born are unplanned pregnancies.
No, just looking for better options for colors to cars. Today's options are pretty bland don't you think?
One thing I do know is if ever I'm involved in a wreck I surely don't want a 57 Chevy hitting me. That car will tear me a new one with the way cars are built today.
Agreed. I love orange so, even though I’m not a Sabaru fan, their Crosstech In Sunshine Orange always catches my eye
My dad had a '59 Cadillac (the one with the great double-bullet red taillights on the big tail fins). He tells the story of pulling into the driveway in Brooklyn across traffic and this dude comes out of no where and slams into the side of him. Caddy had a dented door and the other dude's front end was totaled.
My dad had a Bel Air that he drove up until about 1992 or so. That thing coulda been the Popemobile with no body modifications. “Bulletproof” wasn’t hyperbole with those old Chevys.
Thinking old cars are safer than new cars might be another sign you're getting older.
That really opened my eyes, but I'd still rather be in a 57 chevy over most newer carsWDIK2 said:Thinking old cars are safer than new cars might be another sign you're getting older.
Talking about "style" is a different subject.
I will say that my '91 Jeep Cherokee went through a brief storm with pool ball sized hail about 7 years ago with only minor damage. The newer cars in the same parking were not so lucky.
I honestly thought icon was planning to drink and listen to classical musicStill going well. down ~10lbs and feel great.
Taking a 48hr hiatus for a Bach party in Atlanta for a wedding I'm standing in. Then back on the wagon.
May keep it going to Fri March 6th as makeup. May not. Will see
It's like a neck beard, but in your nostrils.My god, #######' nose hair. I have gone from maintaining it monthly to needing to do it weekly. What in the actual eff?
I have a beard and shave the neck and cheeks probably 2-3 times a week. I should probably just do the nose while I'm at it but I fear it would grow even faster. Drives me nuts.
guy is just letting his nose hair do its natural job of protecting his immune system.
the weirdest thing to me is these hair nose/ear dudes who are married. Their wives let them out of the house like that? Don't even subtly mention "dear, you might want to trim the ol' schnozz"
My wife has let me out of the house numerous times with an inside out polo shirt, some are just not up to the task. Also wearing a polo shirt every day seems like something old people do.

@snogger alias?My son just made his 8th grade varsity middle school team.Went to the parent/coach meeting yesterday and the coach made me feel extremely old. He is 23 years old and I am twice his age. He looks about 18 to me.
Except that I started getting that when I was about 36. Mr R finds it hilarious. (He's five years younger than I am.)
That is funny. When I got on AARP I started getting it. A couple years later it increased. Mr. Alex Trebek's commercial almost got my dad. It's $9.95 a month! Yeah but for that amount, what benefits do you receive. Yeah, no thanks.
I never looked. What benefits do you receive?
I didn't look closely but it's you get what you pay for. For elderly people like my dad, he's better off not doing it. They air this commercial a lot during the day. The people they show excited about this are older people. This pisses me off. You won't get what you imagine at this rate if you are older.
A lot of those policies end when you get to the age when you need them. We really do need better health care in this country.
I'm not holding my breath for changes to occur in my lifetime but I pray for future generations. It's outrageous that people die because they can't afford health care.
