From what I've heard about of states with no car inspections (at least
some of them), if you get in an accident and you have faulty equipment
(that an inspection would have caught and fixed), you get an expensive
ticket for "faulty equipment."
 
On the other hand, shops that will do the inspection AND will fix the
problems, tend to get really picky just to be able to charge you much
more for their time.
 
The inspection only isn't worth their time. They treat that as a "loss
leader." Cheap price to attract you then they nail you for extras that
you need. Similar to grocery stores.

I have a 37 year old pickup. The last couple of times, I only had to
pay them $30 bucks or something for the inspection. "Pretty good for
the old girl" was the verdict. They didn't find anything wrong. If
they're ripping you off, you just don't go back. Ask locals who you
can trust.

I agree with Cindy about smoking *INDOORS* in public places, but your
issue with *OUTDOOR* smoking is kind of a baby, totally intolerant
reaction and there is way too much of that these days.
 
Everyone has different lifestyles. When out in public, it's not all
about you anymore.
 
The smokers yielded and went outside rather than smoke inside. Give them
a break.
 
If they, right outside the door annoy you, just take a few more steps
away from them (upwind is closer).

If there are a few of them smoking near the door you have to get
through, you may be smelling of cigarettes for the rest of the day.
Not nice.
 
But as an ex-smoker of 16 years ago, I still like the smell of fresh
cigarette smoke. Fresh, not from hours ago, still lingering on my
clothes.

Apparently your sense of smell died from the paint fumes. If
some jackass is smoking next to the grocery store entrance, it's
nearly impossible to avoid them.
 
Then they throw their butts on the ground so the area smells
like an ashtray forever.

Why should I give a break to a fool with no common courtesy
and a death wish besides?

Sometimes there isn't an "upwind". For example, if the wind is coming
from the west and the building faces east.

I did have one time behind an old women in a checkout line that reeked
of perfume and it really affected my asthma. I just dealt with it at the
time.
 
For people like you and Dave that are so damn intolerant of anything
that you don't like, just stay at home always and do all your shopping
by ordering deliveries online.
 
Quit bitching about what other people do that annoy you.
The other people are probably bitching about what YOU do too.

Here's a funny about that:
 
About 40 years ago, I went to my parents 25th anniversary celebration.
It was turned into the annual family reunion and about 200+ people
attended, all related at least by marriage.
 
There was one unmarried girl there I talked to and was immediately
attracted to. So nice, about my age, and totally beautiful. "Oh man, I
really like this girl"
 
I was ready to "hit on her" for a date, etc
Then I learned that she was one of my first cousins that I
hadn't seen since we were young children. Dammit, so that ended my quest
for her.
 
Jump ahead many years (not that long ago) and I found out that the state
of Maryland allows first cousin marriages.
 
If I had known that then, I would have gone for it.
If we had gotten married though, I wouldn't have felt so good about
having children. Maybe adopt some kids (or maybe adopt some older
ferrets). lol

I'm willing to bet your body would absolutely love a couple of nice

Everything you say is true. The first time I had onion rings at A&W was in the early 70's. The rings were indeed an extruded product. I know that because I took several apart to understand what I was eating because that's just the kind of guy I am. I haven't been to an A&W in some 40 years or so. It doesn't surprise me that they've changed the product. I had some onion rings from Jack in the Box this evening and they were real and just awesome!

So does at least one Virginia Beachian - me too!
 
With 3-4 scrambled eggs, I'll eat about 2/3 with S&P only.
The last 1/3 is mixed with a little ketchup. yum
 
Also, whenever I make fried egg sandwiches, I always make two.
 
- 4 slices of buttered toast
- 2-3 over easy eggs for 2 sandwiches
- S&P and 1/2 slice of cheese on each
 
First one I eat just like that. yum
The second one, I add ketchup. also yum
I call the 2nd one, "dessert."
 
Both are so delicious in their own way.
 
It's been awhile. That sounds like a good lunch for today. :)

I checked out the pic. Looks like a lot of work to me. But hey, that's me. Lots of foliage. Probably a lot of spiders and other creepy crawlers hanging around.
 
But getting back to the houseguest. When I was a kid I got a hold of a few books by Henry Miller I wanted to read because they had 'fuck' and other verboten words in them. I quickly bored of them. But one book, Tropic of Cancer, or Capricorn, came with other short stories, and the one that finished the book was the only thing I liked by Miller and it had no cursing at all in it. It was called "A Devil in Paradise" and was about a needy friend he invited over from Paris to stay at his Big Sur California home and wouldn't leave. All sorts of excuses. Lots of conniving. It was funny. I enjoyed it. I'm sure everyone has experienced the unwanted guest motif. (I use the word motif even if not always proper because I like the word). The motif, the formula, whatever - to me it has always been funny as seen from both sides. Trying to get rid of someone without getting forceful can be quite the comedy. Not while it's happening - not to the host anyway - but later when it's over. I heard your comments about the guest in the house you covet and imagined you letting him stay only to later want him out and not being able to get rid of him without calling for outside help or getting ultra forceful on your own as the guy continues to use the "Come on man, just one more day" routine on you.................. The image is entertaining.

I am trying to wrap my head around your responses. You don't inundate the board with responses to all, only a few. Is it random or is there some purpose. I notice you respond often to Gary's posts as well as mine even if you have nothing to say. Is this your way of saying, "I like this one", regarding our posts, or are you mocking us. Notice I used the word "us" right now instead of just "me". Why? Because an ally is always good - takes the pressure off. I used Gary in this case. You tend to respond to my posts quite a bit with the Ghe ghe ghe motif. I am taking this as a compliment or some form of positive recognition. Even if I'm wrong I will continue to view your brief and nearly wordless responses as compliments.

>One should always be aware of the local native American tribes in the area. I'd probably learn a bit about their culture too. We don't have much in the way of Indians around here but we got a lot of people of many different cultures. Everyone knows a bit about the cultures of the people that live here. This makes it possible to tease each other. This actually brings us closer together as a people because it shows that we know about the people who live here.

The nearest reservation is a 2-hour drive. Since I don't gamble, I'm unlikely
to go there. I'm also unlikely to tease people who were nearly exterminated
by my people.
 
Polish-Americans, on the other hand, are fair game.
