i think they used to come in two parts. like chaps.

Have you ever noticed if the seat in your car wasn't shaped like an L, every time you would accelerate you would end up in the back seat.

Have you ever noticed that successfully initiating a high-five has more to do with elbow and wrist position than it does with the "five" in question actually being "high"?

Have you ever noticed that looming eerily in very close proximity is much more effective for scaring the pants off your friends than jumping out and screaming?

Have you ever noticed that many people don't tend to notice ceiling color in any given room?

Have you ever noticed that most adults' index fingers point slightly outwards (towards the pinkies), though most kids' do not?
(I wonder if this is from years of carrying things changing the joints)

...I could go on.

Have you noticed that when older people walk around the shopping mall they call it exercise, but when high school kids walk around the shopping mall they call it loitering? Well...perhaps the kids aren't exercising after all, but at least they don't run over top of you when you step in front of them like the older people.

maybe to live is to be evil, and to have lived is to have been under the domain of the devil? just a thought.

Never googled it before, until now, but others came up with that conclusion as well.

It's all relative to what one's experiences in life, I think. Whatever we are, we owe it to our experience, our ancestors, their ancestors, and whatever it was that started the origin of life.

In that sense, I don't see how one can truly separate themselves from anything that exists. At one point it appears that everything was one.

I noticed that when I was 21, walking on a deserted beach.

wow you're way ahead of me, i didn't get that part of the picture until i was in my 40s.

Very strange. In Finnish, both are plural.

Have you noticed the strange metamorphosis that the age 50 brings? People who once drove any car, now are driving Buicks.

In 4 years will I have the inclination to drive a Buick?

are you saying that as folk turn 50 they restrict their automotive choices to buicks and their ilk?



buicks continue to be nice cars. hopefully in 4 years or less you will give one a chance with a test drive. the latest buick regal is a thinly disguised german opel sports sedan, the only difference being slightly slower spring rates to deal with typically broken/rippled american pavement, and steering calibrated for somnolescently low american speed limits. my fave buick was the '97-'98 century, they had the old-fashioned boulevard ride over rough and broken pavement, but buick ruined it in later years by stiffening the springs/antiroll bars for better handling which resulted in WORSE handling as well as worse ride! over most roads the 99's and later were disturbingly jittery and not smooth.

Well there is the age there, ya' know the side to side wander, and the slow speed tells you someone is geezen.

But really, I don't have a thing against Buicks, though I'd opt for something else.

I'm partial to a 4 door Sports car. I had a 92 Nissan Maxima that ran from 92 to 2006.
Other than a fuel injector, struts, water pump, CV half shafts, and 4 window regulators, the baby was not a nickel and dimer. It was quiet, fast, and rode nice. It'd get 30 miles to the gallon highway. I should have hung on to it due to the 'fuel situation' that we have today.

One day it was driving down the road, and from what I could see it was dented up in a few areas, the antenae was broken, the fuel door was bent back out of shape, and had a crack in window glass. . It had between one to two years on it. It was sold to a teenager.

"geezen [geezing]" as a verb? heeheehawhaw



that is very sad, too bad you couldn't have kept it, it's been with you so long it is like a part of the family. i will own my honda [god willing] until it is dust and even then it will be kept sheltered. i am reminded of the japanese shinto buddhist rite of the hare kuyo or needle shrine, a repository for worn and broken sewing machine needles which rest in vats of warm tofu, in perpetuity, and are venerated, prayed over by shinto priests, in gratitude for their selfless service to their owners. cars remind me of pets who serve us as well as their design and our maintenance of them will allow. i get very sentimental over inanimate objects.

Well, keep ye olde Honda auntie. Btw, there is quite a 'import' market for 'good gas milage cars' these days. I sold my Maxima for 2500, now it's doubled due to demand, (at least a few years back when i checked).

Have you noticed that people who usually look the same usually have the same behaviors and say the same thing?

Have you noticed that most people's attention is focused on the middle horizontal strip that is only about 20% of the field of view.

Have you noticed that most people don't really notice very many things.

Dear pete1061, That's because we are wearing trifocals. sylkat
