    Just wait until you start waking up in the morning and either your arm, shoulder, leg, neck, etc. hurts and your standard response will be, "I must have slept wrong/funny last night".
  2. Winkler seems like a pretty solid guy. I have watched several episodes of a NBC reality show called "Better Late Than Never" that he is on along with Terry Bradshaw, William Shatner, George Foreman and Jeff Dye. He seems to be the glue that keeps them all together. The show is OK but it does have its funny moments.

    Ok, my BP was 124/72. EKG came back great. I will live another day.
  4. Why on God's green earth would she want to know that?!! It is a set up. Be wary. Stay strong against revealing such info. Try not to talk in your sleep now that this is in your subconsciousness.
  5. This. I am considering running for public office, probably president of the USA, so that I can sign some Executive Orders. The first EO being one that you have to take an annual driving test to keep your Driver's License. And it will not be one of these test where you have to identify road signs and petty stuff like that. It will be an actual driving test where you will be put into multiple situations and you must navigate correctly. It will require you to actually break the speed limit from time to time when passing, you must stay out of the left hand lane unless you are in the flow of traffic. It will require situational awareness that if you are holding up traffic you must pull out of the way or run the risk of the roving Mad Max vehicle that will move you out of the way. No cars shall have auto-braking systems activated until EVERY car has that feature. Reflex/reaction test. I could go on but you get the idea. I just went on a ~5000 mile road trip from Texas to NC, then back to Kentucky, then up to Vermont, down to Pennsylvania, back to NC and then finally back to Texas. So many people should not be driving.

    I am presently at my cardiologist’s office. I have SVT so I have check ups twice a year. It does not bother me at all as I know how to slow my heart rate down when it flares up. I am 55. I still lead a very active life of playing sports and hiking. Looking at everyone else here they all look to be old enough to be my parents. I certainly do not what to become having first name basis with the doctors like the others olds here. My blood pressure will be up when they get around to checking it because they are already 30 Minutes behind schedule and I have a basketball game at noon. Getting irritated.
  7. Maw Maw having a difficult time parking.
  8. This, plus there is a difference between what I can afford versus what I am willing to pay. To me, for the most part, my truck is utilitarian. All of the features that they get excited about telling me about is great but certainly secondary and I let them know as such.
  9. I had to go to my buddies’ house to watch videos as we did not get it at my house. I was 15 when it came out. MTV died many years ago. This should be an “In memoriam” program being played out today on satellite radio.
  10. Veterans, especially combat vets, get a pass.
  11. Posting here to be part of the “in” crowd and to pay note to greatness.
  12. This (Auburn 84) was also my first game as a freshman student. I still have the ticket stub. I just knew that we were in for greatness while I was going to be on campus but as you point out this was the beginning of the end for a while. The season started out strong but ended with three straight losses. My first game to attend was the previous season (1983), my senior year in high school. Went to the Rice game and sat in the upper deck. Saw Edwin Simmons rip a long run. I was already very familiar with Simmons as the local East Texas newspaper featured him prominently during his high school career. We also know how he turned out. We stayed at the Driskill Hotel. The first "fancy" hotel that I had ever stayed in. Toured the campus on Saturday. Had breakfast at Cisco's in East Austin and dinner at Matt's El Rancho that evening. This brings back a lot of memories!
  13. The point of my brief description is that most people still stop at that Yield sign even when there is no one else present.
  14. This and people that come to a stop at a Yield sign. There is one near my house with an unobstructive view and folks stop at it about 80% of the time.
  15. Backing in is the way to park. Not only for the safety aspect of it but also because it is easier to maneuver when the steered wheels are in the back. The only issue I have is when I am driving in a parking lot and am being tailgated. When I see a spot to park, I turn my blinker on and drive just past the spot. Many times the person behind me cannot grasp what I am trying to do and stays on my butt. Once I start to back up they figure it out (usually).
  16. People seem to not realize that the seats are in numerical order. The minute that they board the flight they keep checking their ticket each time they pass a row as if magically row 28 will somehow be the first row after first class.
  17. I was on a lengthy Air China flight a while back. I was engrossed in a book that I was reading when I caught this movement out of the corner of my eyes. Almost everyone on the flight were doing coordinated exercises to prevent DVT. They had interrupted the inflight movies to play exercises on the seat back screens.
  18. I have always tried to make it a general practice to leave a buffer flight in the schedule just in case there is a delay.
  19. If he is going to be hoisting the Heisman then there is a good chance of some other hardware being hoisted as well.
  20. It is times like this one that the Good Lord takes over. Almost two years ago to the day, I was driving home from the airport after returning from a business trip. About a week later I was planning on driving up to Raleigh, NC to be there when my daughter was expected to have my first grandchild. As I was driving home from the airport she calls me and tells me that she is already in the hospital and is in labor. I drive the rest of the way home, repack my bags, and head out from NE Texas to Raleigh, NC, a solid 15 to 16 hour drive under normal circumstances in my trusty truck. I was driving so fast that I was making a line of telephone poles look like a picket fence the whole way. I may have passed 2 cops along the way but they were all in the other lane. I got to Raleigh with about 3 hours to spare before my granddaughter was born.
  21. In May of 2017 a co-worker and I were in Spearfish, SD for a mining conference. We had some free time so we decided to go see Mt. Rushmore. The speed limit in that area is around 35 mph or so and we were in a rental SUV. We were coming down the mountain around 50 mph or so and a Park Ranger whips around and flashes his lights so I pull over. As the Ranger approaches the car I roll down the window and the first thing that he asks is, "When was the last time that there was marijuana in this vehicle?" My buddy and I just looked at him with a "WTH are you talking about?" look. Finally I said, "I have no earthly idea, this is a rental." After checking my license he let us go with just a warning. Come to find out that at that time they were pulling all vehicles over that had Colorado plates on them to check for marijuana. I am guessing that he thought that we could have potentially been mules or something like that. Really didn't have to say anything to get out of the ticket other than just look dumb.
  22. Did you get to thank her later?
  23. He should never read “kindergarten chats” by Louis Sullivan. I had to read it in college.
  24. I ran out of breath reading this.
