  1. "Good riddance!" I say to changing our clocks twice a year, but I'd rather we stay on the "Daylight Savings Time" hours and have later sunsets than default to permanent "Standard Time" and it get dark early in the evening.
  2. According to USPS policy, mail carriers are not allowed to ask for or accept cash tips as it is considered a violation of federal regulations; however, they can receive small gifts valued at $20 or less per customer per occasion.
  3. "grows my heart into a big smile" is what the 5-year-old house cat we just adopted causes in me daily
  4. "Hood with the hickie on it" covered the Ford FE 427 engine with dual Paxton Superchargers on Bill Cosby's Shelby Cobra Super Snake
  5. Today's goofy repair tag complaint write-up: "Steering wheel hard to turn, all fluid came off"
  6. "About when do you think you'll get here?" is what my sister-in-law asked when we called to tell her we were stuck in traffic on the freeway, but still on our way for Christmas dinner
  7. 21 and strong as I could be, I knew what freedom meant to me, and I couldn't give a reason why I would ever want to die
  8. happened to be looking to see if there was anything new to be seen or said on this thread today
  9. I hear ya!!!! Every year, where I work (USPS) we have to re-bid our work schedules. This gives Management the opportunity to make changes without Union consent. I am now clocking in at 1:30AM, which means my alarm goes off at 11:30PM the night before so I can make it to work on time. Saturday work schedule is still 5:00AM until 1:30PM, with Sunday and Monday off. My body doesn't seem to want to accept this new sleep schedule and Tuesdays are BRUTAL after a normal weekend sleep schedule...
  10. headers that don't fit are DEFINITELY a problem to be dealt with, a while ago, the Hot Rod shop I worked at brought in a '69 Mustang Mach 1 with a Coyote engine conversion where the headers wouldn't fit, all the new motor mount welds looked like bird sh*t and the "fabricator" who did the conversion had no idea of the concepts of "center line" and "square", it cost the car's owner tens of THOUSANDS of dollars to clean up this mess.
  11. "suits me just fine!" is what I was thinking as I entered my credit card info to pay for my most recent order from a WELL respected online vendor who deals exclusively in model cars
  12. "them or me" she cried "it's time for you to choose!"
  13. October is one of my favorite months, the weather starts to cool and the leave start to change color
  14. now it is tomorrow and I should be getting ready to go to bed
