Ask @Seasons1992 he was with me on my last Uber Drive in Nashville. Lady (name held private) from Moldova. LoL... Both of us were gabbing a mile a minute... Season's was in back chilling in awe. She crossed the double yellow line once... Had oncoming traffic give the toot of the angry horn... I brushed it off and continued yapping away! LoL... She did too... Great gal! Someday she'll make enough to go back home. That's her dream.

The footprint on a new car is worse than keeping an old one running. Even an old one with worse gas mileage. Roads are funded/maintained by mpg. Less mpg = better, smoother roads. I think the threshold is in the low 20mpg range. Everybody getting 50mpg, the roads & bridges become crap. My 15mpg vehicle will have to pick up slack... Even though the Prius' are wearing down the infrastructure at same rate.

I am not all worked up. I am being sarcastic. We are always trying to invent a better way which usually in the end turns out worse, puts more burden on the system. All in the name of one's personal convenience. I just find bit hypocritical. You obviously trust the independent contractor more. I don't. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and people gaming the system. You got yours, that's all that matters.

Crap... Just adding my 17 year old daughter to policy is costing me and extra $100/month.

Further south. Chicago Harbor is downtown. I am on Calumet River about 7 miles down river from Calumet Harbor. Calumet Harbor is about 10 miles south of Chicago Harbor on L.Michigan in South Chicago. This is the industrial corridor. Both Chicago River and Calumet River-Sag Channel meet up downriver about 20 miles south and inland. Both locks are similar... Sector-gated controlling works.

Hey! Take your fancy college stuff to another thread.

Al recommends one of this on the days he screws up the forecast: Wow... What a great weatherman!

We are just misunderstood. Got too much free time on our hands. LoL...

Hope a bum didn't throw dirt on your windshield and then force you to pay him to clean it off. ? Illinois bums are industrious! ? But NOT as bad as Illinois Nazis:

Yeah... So many good ones in that one! The Oldsmobiles are in early this year:

Recycling. You're not recycling... You're sorting the garbage in hopes that somebody recycles it. Kinda like: 3. "The cigarette does the smoking, you're just the sucker." A quote from anonymous, this saying is used to convince people to stop smoking or to never start in the first place. However, it just doesn't make sense to say this because if you have a lit cigarette in your mouth and you are inhaling the smoke, you are consciously smoking. Fact: checked. https://www.theodysseyonline.com/ten-common-phrases-sense

"Military Intelligence"

You most certainly do! That sure doesn't put you "above reproach." Another lie. The White House can sure use your spin talents.

And drive on parkway! Finally a thread totally dedicated to the story of my life.

Actually... Coffee keeps ants away. So I read, sprinkle away!

I don't touch the crap. Wife is a coffee snob. We use a Bunn. ***** those KCups! Sunday afternoons don't mix well with the ole ticker... Did you quit Sunday afternoons in the Fall??

I don't wanna catch a cold... Just gonna have to deal with my cray cray episodes. Tough choices in life we have to make!

I do! Go hug a tree. That will get you to work safely. Watch out for the LED traffic lights that ice up because they don't give off heat to keep them unfrosted and seen... You might run a red light... Tell her to be thankful that we have computers and electronic fuel injection. Turn the key and go. What in dear Lord would these modern woman do starting and operating vehicles like our mothers did? /smh. It's nice to be thankful for technological advances...

$150/person. Family... $200/person if all four of us attending... $500+ just me or my wife attending a close family wedding. Cash... Sometimes check. Depends. NEVER a gift. Who wants that!!!! /smh Who in hell are the people <$100... ??? $25-$49... ??? This ain't 1966. That won't cover plate & booze even @ Bob's Country Bunker in Kokomo, Indiana... Okay, maybe that will! ?

"Cool for Cats" was a U.K. TV show: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_for_Cats_(TV_series)#/search Isn't "Cat" a Beatnik term for a guy? Chick being the female? This line is code for getting jiggy wit a unattractive chick: "...I'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone She likes to go to discos but she's never on her own I said I'll see you later and give her some old chat But it's not like that on the TV when it's cool for cats It's cool for cats (cool for cats)..."

May I ask. How old are you? If you're over 45, were you living in a cave or on Borneo... Or worse, both. LoL...

DISCLAIMER: I stayed at an Holiday Inn Express last night. Hate to burst your bubble. From high (no pun intended) on my alter and the USS Enterprise sick-bay, Vulcan medical logic dictates, with a cold, you may NOT want to supress your immune system... That's what gets you into the cold virus mess to begin with, right? It's an old study, jury is still out... And this is most definitely NOT in vogue during the recent pro-cannabis era we are in. Cannabis is a WonderDrug®! I guess it's all about the individual and their own immune response. But cannibis definitely suppresses immune system... Why it works on CHRONIC conditions. But infectious, the studies tend to disagree. Will a suppressed immune response make you more susceptible to a cold. You bet your sweet bottom dollar it will! Thank You... I will be here all week till Johnny gets better!! Glean from it what you may. Not saying it's all negative or positive. This info is intended to help, may help others! Symptoms are another story... May help with them??? https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-flu/how-long-does-a-cold-last https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-flu/smoking-weed-with-a-cold#potential-risks https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/08/020828062229.htm Infectious is key word. HIV is harsh, certainly not the common cold! "...Pot's influence on the immune system continues to be hotly debated. While more human studies are needed, overwhelming evidence from animal studies indicates that marijuana and its psychoactive compounds, known as cannabinoids, suppress immune function and inflammation. "This suggests marijuana or cannabinoids might benefit someone with chronic inflammatory disease, but not someone who has a chronic infectious disease such as HIV infection," said Dr. Klein, lead investigator of the study..."
