A billion and one now, I guess. :D

I think that is probably the best option. I've been to a few bicycle shops and I haven't seen any, but I haven't really tried that hard either. I don't go back down until after Christmas, and then maybe I will look a little harder.

Any recommendations for a folding bicycle? I also need to have it shipped to Puerto Rico, and for some reason that seems to be a problem, even though Puerto Rico is a US protectorate and is served by the good old US Postal Service, FedEx, and UPS. I don't know why it is so hard to get stuff...

Go over to SZ if you want to see strange rants.

I'm not wondering why she offered you a menu, she was probably told by someone higher on the food chain, hahaha, that's a pun, to give them away. 1. I wonder why someone with your superior intelligence and intellect did not pick up on that? 2. I wondering why it is so hard to just say, "no...

I wouldn't call my brother a hoarder, but he is a collector and he will collect anything. You go through his house or property, and he has collections of stuff everywhere. Pop bottles, pop cans, oil cans, pocket knives, pole insulators, wood planes, military uniforms on mannequins, the list goes...

If all you are is a PPSEL, you don't have a chance in hell. Even if you have an instrument rating, you probably aren't the kind of marketing material they are looking for. :no:

I agree. It looks that way to me as well. It appeared to me that the rear end went away from him, not toward him. I think that the impact pulled the front end over and that is what we are seeing.

You can take this for what it is worth. I grew up in an old farm house. I don''t know the history of it, except that an old spinster lived there for quite a while. When I was growing up, I would often see movement out of the corner of my eye. Dark movement that sort of resembled a person, but...

Yes, I just dropped the cable TV and kept the internet. One note, when I asked them to cut the cable TV but keep the internet, they tried to double my internet cost because it wasn't bundled. I told them to cut the internet as well, and I would just find someone else for internet. They...

When I got my first Garmin GPS, and I don't even remember what year that was, I wanted it to help me find holes and bars on a lake in Minnesota where I would go fishing. It was accurate to something like 30', and that was on a good day. Fast forward to the present, I sometimes go geocaching with...

My wife is a consultant representing a Napa winery. Her office is in our house, and drinking wine is part of her "office atmosphere." While she does a lot of work from home, she does go out and do wine tastings, events, sales meetings with customers, etc, so she isn't always working from home I...

I got out of the airplane mechanic business about five years ago. At the time, I was pulling down a whopping $12 an hour. I got a dollar an hour raise when I got my IA and my boss acted like he was doing me a huge favor by giving me that. I got a job offer to supervise lifeguards at the aquatic...

How did your beer delivery business end up working out? Are you still doing that?

I guess that my first real job, I walked into the Navy Recruiter's office and told him I wanted to enlist. OK, but the job that became my career, I found an ad in the newspaper and applied. It also took almost a year to land it. Of course, that was over thirty years ago. After I retired from...

Mine was the Wasp. It was decommissioned a month later. You can correct me if I'm wrong, but a "Navy shower" was also called a three minute shower. A minute to get wet, turn off the water and soap down, another minute to rinse, turn off the water and soap down a second time, then a final minute...

When I was a police officer I found that a lot of people did not report thefts and minor crimes, because they always thought that the cops couldn't do anything anyway. The thing is, that is true on an individual basis, but the more times a crime gets reported, the more pieces the cops have to...

I've been a Leno fan for a long time, but I come down here for the winter and I can't get NBC. I go back to the states the end of this month and I'm going to see how I like Fallon, but I already miss Jay, so he really needs to be good. My wife hates Letterman, so if Fallon doesn't work, I guess...

Afiter I retired I ran into the director of the Parks and Recs Department for the city. She offered me a job at the aquatic center supervising the lifeguards. I ended up getting my Red Cross lifeguard certification at the age of 60 and my Lifeguard Instructor certification at the age of 61. I...

Holy crap Nick, I belonged to the Fraternal Order of Police and I voted against telemarketing to solicit money. I want to apologize to you personally.
