I just got back from the East Coast. What a relief to not be in that scrum.

No Way I would go live in that willingly.

Don't even want to visit NYC, LA, or San Fran, even if it was all free. Been to all of those many times in the past and it was wonderful, but they have all devolved into shitholes these days.

He knows it is just a childish fad she will outgrow. Also, there was no reason to tell him that. She was just screwing with him.

Such a shame. As a kid I was mesmerized by NYC and the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Bldg., Times Square, Rockefeller Center, fancy restaurants. It was a city that drew people in, now it's a city that pushes people out..

I live in Orange County, Ca. and I have avoided going to any large city like Lost Angels, San Franshitco and even downtown Santa Ana or the like. I hate crowds and dealing with large groups of idiots.

When discussing the morality/values of the leadership,there is damn little moral difference between the upper-level Communists and the upper level Capitalists. Both want to rule the world.

I wouldn't know, though I'd like someone to translate the thing for me...

The closest I come is throwing lead around... And I always hit the hole. Where the hole IS may not be where I wanted, but I always hit the hole

I bought a sack of golf balls from a guy at one of the tables at a gun show where people sell all sorts of odds and ends. He said "heading for the range"?

I said "Yep! My granddaughter loves knocking these around with the Sig."

Oh.

He meant 'driving range'.

Never played golf in my life.

@Smokin Joe

I honestly thought I was the only one that liked to do that.

Started doing in when I was working at a golf course and finding stray golf balls that had been hit by a mower or otherwise damaged. I liked to scatter them around in the yard and then spin around and snap shoot at them with my combat commander.

A LOT more fun and satisfying that shooting at a paper target.

Do NOT do this if your ego beats you up if you miss an occasional shot!

Oooh! New game: set up one of those miniature practice putting greens one finds at most golfcourse club houses, then everyone gets a ball and a .22 pistol, and they have to sink their ball into each of the holes - in order - using just the .22.

Gives whole new meaning to "shooting a round of golf".

This is how I see the users, however they did not see me as advanced.
They treated me like a waiter who messed up their order, because they could not understand what I was trying to tell them and did not know how to operate the application.

Not so uncommon. While I was working in England, had an office mate, also American, who was a full blown alcoholic. The guy was drunk 24/7 including at work. Somehow, he wound up getting married to a British woman. Still a mystery? Anyway, he would stop at a pub on the way home every night to get blasted out of his mind. Obviously, the new wife did not like this.

We were about to go home for the night one day and he pulled me aside. He said, 'How can I get drunk on the way home without stopping at the pub?' I told him, 'Stop at a shop and pick up some beer, drink it on your way home.' He said the same as this guy. He said, 'That would be drinking and driving.' This is a guy who drove home bombed out of his mind every day of his life. But, he never drank actually in the automobile while driving.

In his mind, 'Drinking and Driving' meant exactly that. Anything else is perfectly legal.
