  1. Nice looking watch. Wrong color orange, but otherwise well done.
  2. This is probably more suited to the help board than here, but this thread tends to attract plenty of opinions. I am researching pre-owned mid-sized luxury SUVs for the wife (no pics). Looking to stay under $25K, and things like adaptive cruise control and emergency autonomous braking are musts. Currently leaning toward Lincoln Nautilus and Acura RDX, but a loaded Nissan Murano might do the trick. Any others that I need to look into in that size range whose long term reliability ratings are good? Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.
  3. This should have been a two post thread. This site rarely disappoints. Bravo!
  4. Gil's attachment is not showing, but it piqued my interest so I did some Googling. I wish I hadn't.
  5. You just described every major airport everywhere, amirite?
  6. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that doesn't suck, since no review was given.
  7. We have the Speed Queen front load washer. Bought it after our old Maytag finally died in unrepairable fashion, after multiple repairmen told us to keep fixing it and not replace it because it was better than anything else available. Everyone I talked to suggested Speed Queen. Had it for a few years (family of 4), no issues at all. EDIT: Dryer went out around the same time, and chose NOT to get the matching Speed Queen because it is actualy more expensive than the washer. Ridiculous. Got something cheap and if I have to replace it two more times over the life of the washer I'll still be better off financially. Wife was not gruntled over the look of a mis-matching set. She got over it.
  8. I have one theory... They sailed there?
  9. Wow, they both look ancient.
  10. Mexican food, or "Mexican food"? because if the former, I'm guessing a few thousand miles.
  11. My teen daughter (no pics) dropped demure on me today. I asked if that was a new thing, and she said yes. Videos on the socials where some dude is dressed like a girl and talking about how classy and sophisticated 'she' is. Drops demure in every one. So now you know!
  12. If anyone deserves a "Shit Stick Surly" title on his thread info, it's this guy!
  13. Uhhhhh......
  14. classmates with @THUJONE's offspring, I presume?
  15. Sadly.
  16. This thread is the perfect embodiment to the countdown to the end of the offseason.
  17. Tennessee resident, so I can speak to this. Around here, UT almost always refers to the university, athletic teams are referred to as the Vols. No need for quotation marks or apostrophe's. But the pronunciation is closer to "Vawls," and is almost two syllables.
  18. Who around here isn't a sadist?
  19. A truck stop logo in traffic cone orange and white seems like a match made in heaven.
  20. Dot, in our Costco (Franklin TN).
  21. You'll see. This thread delivers in a curiously satisfying way.
  22. Welcome. You will never want to leave.

    Getting old sucks

    This is very sound advice. Don't ignore any worsening symptoms (headache, ringing in the ears, etc). Had a physician I work with fall on some ice last winter and hit his head. Symptoms nagged him for a few days, eventually started to get some numbness in some fingers. Ended up having emergency brain surgery. Ignoring show brain bleed symptoms is just as deadly as ignoring heart attack symptoms. Just not worth taking the risk.
  24. Every rule has its exceptions.
