rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 200 Posts: 20761 | Google maps will suggest an alternate route if it has one. But when it doesn't, as your wife says, you're f*****. I still have vivid memories of passing an accident, where there was a break in the scene around rescuers, and I could see a lady sitting motionless in the driver seat, and there was a bag or cloth over her head, and the driver side door was torn off, and it looked like she was still trapped behind the wheel of her crushed car. I think she was already dead. "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump |

Wow, I thought you wee going to say you lost 10 hours waiting in traffic. 25 minutes doesn't sound too bad to me. Around here you will have 25 minutes just sitting waiting for an old person to walk across the street. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

On some streets you can waste 25 minutes driving behind an old person. "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump |

That old person may be me. I rarely go the speed limit when driving around town. I am never in a hurry. On the Interstate I have been known to exceed the posted limit. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

SOOPOO Member since: Feb 19, 2014 Threads: 23 Posts: 4720 | I feel like I post here all the time. On most topics and threads. I was surprised to see I have just 1/6 as many posts as EvenBob. I need to up my game. In another random thought, there are times I’m craving pistachios, other times hankering for cashews, and sometimes yearning for almonds. What is going on with my brain that affects my nut selection feelings? (This morning was cashews) |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 200 Posts: 20761 | Even when my IPad isn’t connected to the internet it triangulates rough location on a map, I did once use it to figure out where I was at night when I lost cell service on the road, It’s slow to react though, but fortunately there wasn’t a lot of traffic that late, "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump |

I always crave pistachios, always want cashews, and will eat almonds when I don't have the other two. Last week I started eating lots of pecans. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 162 Posts: 5953 | I keep wondering if I'd like macadamia nuts. Kinda expensive if to find out they aren't any better than other nuts I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

I consider them expensive to consume, but perfect cheap gift as part of a package for relatives. I also give expensive cheeses as gifts, that I consider cheap as gifts, but expensive to consume regularly as just food. Actually, I’ve used that general principle for other gifts. I go out and shop the most expensive socks I can find. The whole idea is to find what is normally a cheap everyday item and buy something high priced and fancy. I’ve bought the best bedsheets for people I can find. Whereas if I gave what is normally not cheap anyway, then it is not going to be looking the best of the best, "Facts are whatever I say they are." - Trump |

Wife, her daughters, and even some of their close friends due that for me! For my birthday, father’s day, etc.. I usually get a bunch of fancy bizarre socks. I always wear them with shorts to show them off when golfing. I’m sure I’m ‘the crazy old guy with silly socks’. As far as macadamia nuts, they seem too ‘oily’ in general, but I love them in cookies. |
