  1. That's Mensa land! Whatya you a goose?
  2. Very smoothly... lol They got nobody else to blame for disparaging themselves BUT themselves. They wanted to leave the Union and carry on with their evil ways. Just imagine a "Balkanized United States" going forward from the 1860s on. 😕
  3. Not really. NYS changed quickly, even before the international slave trade was abolished. The Northwest Ordinance as one of the first acts of Congress, reaffirmed from The Articles, 1787... Made the Northwest forever free in 1789. Maybe you are thinking about the Army of Virginia capturing African Americans at Gettysburg and sending them into slavery in The South? Pennsylvania was always free.
  4. Vermonters, FWIW, are in the top (#12) that drive the most in the United States, you'd think they'd be good at it! https://stacker.com/business-economy/states-where-people-drive-most New York State #50. NYS residents drive the least. More than 1/2 the population lives in NYC. I am calling BS on knowing rules, you must be getting them confused with an Upstater from Buffalo or Rochester... They actually drive there. 😏
  5. Outta business in 1762. We weren't even a country 🇺🇸 for another 14-19 years! It took Georgia what? Another 100 years and they had to be forced...
  6. The guy is accused of homicide, kidnapping, burglary, and setting his inlaw's vehicle on fire🔥... How can you be rooting for him??? He ain't Clyde of "Bonnie & Clyde" fame busting into a bank and burning your mortgage papers! LoL... 😳
  7. Then there is my older sister... Vrrooom, I guess she's doing it right at the merge point... But it's the edge of entitlement that grinds my gears: "They'll let me in, I'm a woman!" 😆🤣😂 /wallbash
  8. Because you're suppose to merge at the merge point. Zipper it up. Take your turn, use all lanes available! Some areas actually use a sign and arrow: MERGE HERE...
  9. Sometimes a battery box, especially the lithium ones struggle with a very dead battery. AND gotta be careful with them... Overheating... Not on Amazon... BUT these will crank anything from a good battery: Solid copper: https://store.polarwire.com/jumper-booster-cable-1-0-ga-25-ft-commercial-heavy-duty-all-copper/ Solid Cu Amazon sells: https://www.amazon.com/Forney-52878-Battery-Jumper-25-Feet/dp/B003X3U8BC/ref=mp_s_a_1_31?keywords=solid+copper+jumper+cables&qid=1689284399&s=automotive&sr=1-31 Check out the prices! OUCH! 😢😭
  10. Anything is better than ButtWiper! Doesn't Bud use rice?
  11. Where's my royalty check? https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/248194-kids-in-their-20s-and-early-30-worse-then-the-panhandlers-on-the-street/page/2/ 😉
  12. @Wacka Yeah, that's the thing on why using all available lanes up to merge/zipper point is the best... Prevents gridlock. There was road construction in Iowa City. Everyone merging early, one giant single file line. Very quaint and civil in Iowa... But it caused gridlock between 3 lights stretched over a few miles! I zipped ahead and used the open lane to the merge/zipper point... I know they saw the Illinois plates and thought: "Look at that FIP (***** -in' IllAnnoy Person)!" 😆... BUT I was preventing gridlock. Great they were overly nice and civil, BUT nobody was moving between the lights and the cross-light traffic was getting pissed. /smdh...
  13. Just sayin'... https://www.outkick.com/emily-ratajkowski-instagram-model-loves-stinky-guys-in-landmark-news-for-single-men/
  14. Look what this pick-up truck does to a vehicle attempting to merge properly. Merging early causes more problems. It's best for traffic that vehicles utilize both lanes fully right up until the merge point, then "zipper it up", alternate vehicles... https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/watch-pickup-truck-slams-into-driver-attempting-correct-zipper-merge?utm_source=newsshowcase&utm_medium=gnews&utm_campaign=CDAqEAgAKgcICjCrsIILMI2h_wIwgonhAg&utm_content=rundown
  15. Now I can't get this song out of my damn noodle! "And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack And you may find yourself in another part of the world And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?" ...
  16. Red flag! Hope you weren't nekkid! So in other words, she's gone for most of the yurt? I will be here all week, chef says: "Try the veal!"
  17. Yeah. Delivery any second. A durable bag for my 30' 0AWG jumper cables. Regular $19.99... Now only $14. PrimeDay is everyday for this lucky fella! You never know when you're gonna have to reach around a semi... Hence the 30 foot long cables. 😆
  18. My son got married June of 2022 up in Door County, Wisconsin... We paid for most of it. /wallbash... But it was about 75 friends and relatives from all over. They didn't even tell us how much they rolled in.😏 ...I know it had to be hefty from his only living grandparent. More power to 'em...
  19. Did the Bad News Bears win in the end? AND... What happened at the Alamo?
  20. Yeah... But it's all relative. Nobody is saying don't save at all... "According to the model, young workers with low income dissave; middle-aged workers save a lot; and retirees spend down their savings." "Young workers with LOW income..." is key...
  21. We're you able to do the things you wanted to when you were young and more healthy? Than... I guess it worked for you. BUT, only to save and deprive yourself when you are still young and relatively healthy is a bummer. Why they are saying live a consistent standard of living throughout your life. There will be no regrets. Can't take it with you.
  22. "If you are going to make a coffee cake, take the time to plump your raisins and roast your walnuts." ~My MiL Maybe... But: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/many-young-people-shouldnt-save-for-retirement-says-research-based-on-a-nobel-prize-winning-theory-11664562570 Just: "New research based on the life-cycle model says that people should strive for a consistent standard of living through their lives"
  23. Korean BBQ as a taco! https://www.seoultaco.com 😊
