Glad to hear from somebody who knows. I was going to guess the Queen got it in the divorce. ?

Neighbours (or, neighbors), nosy or not, will always have a hay-day with Facialbouk postings; the more you post, you will have fewer secrets!

I guess I'm officially becoming the Walt Kowalski Poster Guy for Courtesy-Not. I've become increasingly agitated by the snot-nosed self-aggrandizing entitled little twerps that over-populate the fast-food industry, Window Witch Division. I have worked hard for my money and I continue to hustle even in my advanced age - just to afford things in this economy. When I slide into a drive-thru to snatch a little sustenance in the midst of a busy day, I really don't appreciate snottyness, disrespect and discourteous treatment. Typically it consists of a teenybopper wordlessly tossing a bag of vittles through the window and instantaneously returning to his or her or its or their cell phone keyboard. Ray Kroc and Dave Thomas must be spinning in their graves. Usually, I freak out the chippies by just sitting there. If they notice (or their team leader points it out to them), they slide the window back open in obvious annoyance and ask if there is a problem. I smile and say, "You're welcome." They look at me with the most blank, deer-in-the-headlights expression and ask, "What?" At that point I explain that they were supposed to thank me for being a customer, which brings revenue into their establishment, which pays the bills and their wages. And encourages me to return, be a regular customer, you know. So, I tell them, I knew they meant to thank me for patronizing their employer's business so they can be hired and paid. And I was returning the appreciation and politeness by saying, "You're welcome." That is generally met with a carefully considered response: "Whatever." And an angry slamming of the window. I get great amusement from it . . . and I truly hope it might sink in later and maybe even make a small difference. PS: It doesn't work at Chic-Fil-A. Those are surely the most polite, considerate, and genuinely delightful people in the service industry!

Disgust is a much more prevalent condition than it ever used to be in past, more considerate eras.

True - As of Tuesday 07-02. However, the announcement ended with this sentence penned by their production executive: "Confident about the sound operation and supported by a unified team we are gearing up to restart the business on our own account." So I guess we 'stay tuned.'

Yawn. Money safe.

Brian, Sorry I missed your post here, but glad you got the word. For anyone else here that knows Wayne, suffice it to say prayers are definitely in order.

Eye spy with my naked I a bovine beach bunny!

Seller "doesn't know if it's complete" means it is not.

Beauty is in the eye.

I'm with you, Mark. They irked me today, they irked me yesterday, and NO doubt they'll irk me tomorrow!

Mmmmmm!

I saw this build Saturday night. It is exceptional!

I'm apparently an old geezer, although I don't know when it happened. Kinda snuck up on me, I guess.

I would NOT want to be driving within blocks of that $-heap on a sunny day. No doubt blinds everyone for miles around! Much worse than those chrome plated semi-trailer tailgates. There oughta be a law!

I've had a gut-full of the price-jacking and 'exceeded data limits' extra charges, etc., with my 25-year cellular service provider. To them, I guess, my two-plus decades of loyalty is nothing more than an indication I'm too stupid to change providers - so they can add huge fees every month. But, I'm skeptical about all these various providers who offer "the same service" for less than 1/2 price. You know, if it sounds too good to be true, maybe it is. Anyone have any real-world experience in changing providers in search of lower pricing? How did it go? Thanks in advance . . .

Exquisite! Excellent color combination, exceptional construction, exemplary build!! Thanks for sharing it with us.

So did the killer of Richard Kimble's family. [Reference to The Fugitive.]

Worse yet, he forgot his mask!

Time is Tight.

Absolutely correct, Bill. If an insurance company paid a claim to the "owner," the insurance company owns the car no matter where or when it turns up. At least in Arizona, any subsequent "purchaser" is completely out of luck and out of any money spent on buying, restoring, or customizing it - no recovery for buying stolen property. That's why they always say, "Let the buyer beware!"

Marrow: mine took two years to thaw out after moving from the high Rocky Mountains to Arizona, but more recently Bill's 'neurodiversity' post reminds me of the one word he didn't use - supercilious.

Enjoy retirement is something I don't get to do.

Been listening to non-stop Beach Boys music the past several days on Sirius XM's Beach Boys channel! I even feel much younger!!

Stupid is as stupid does.
