  1. "Goes to jello in a handbasket" is what happens to a place when most people look the other way, pretend nothing's wrong, and just try to keep their heads down.
  2. Real sorry to hear that, Carl. Hoping it gets better for you.
  3. Ad-nauseam means "puke-inducing repetition".
  4. Easier to start from scratch to build that. Nothing there is Mustang or Ford GT.
  5. Fishing for compliments and praise is a large part of what the web is used for.
  6. Fabricated or manipulated evidence is known as "lies".
  7. Treatment for numerous maladies that have been repeatedly PROVEN to be effective, safe, and cheap, are STILL denied by the medical establishment, mainstream media, and social platforms in spite of easily verifiable evidence.
  8. Summer nights can be difficult to sleep in without AC if you don't devise alternative strategies to deal with the heat, which I have.
  9. And I'm continually amazed most people seem to think there's a higher percentage of doctors who actually have a clue than mechanics who have a clue. Just because you have a shiny degree or two hanging on the wall, that's no guarantee you really have talent and skill. Doing the course-work and fulfilling the other requirements gets you a degree and a license, but it doesn't make you "good". And if you don't believe that, just look at some of the horror stories about bodged high-end plastic surgery.
  10. Cares and worries and jerks don't have to ruin your day, because contrary to much popular opinion, humans can control their emotions.
  11. Program changes to electronic engine and/or powertrain management systems sometimes require a laptop interfaced through a very specific app.
  12. Soggy rhymes with foggy which makes me think of London which reminds me of...oh, never mind.
  13. Period hot-rods and racing cars from the '40s through the '70s float my boat.
  14. Cast your fate to the wind...
  15. Taiwan makes a lot of stuff, some of it really good, some not so hot.
  16. Models of the female variety can sometimes have "difficult" personalities based on a lifetime of getting their own way because of their looks, and some can be sweet, virtuous, kind, and caring; it's always best to judge individuals on their own merits.
  17. Fertilizer should only be applied by highly trained professionals, because it's just like rocket-science, and way beyond the ken of regular civilians.
  18. "Regurgitates opinions and remarks of others without conscious thought" is the definition of "rebleats" in Bill's Abridged Dictionary.
  19. Coffee is one of mankind's greatest inventions, or discoveries, or whatever; I haven't had my coffee yet.
  20. County Line Road was one of the hot spots fer drag racing back when dinosaurs walked the Earth and gas was a quarter a gallon. SIDEBAR: If anyone needs proof of just how stupidly spewing misinformation Google's "AI Overview" is, read this: "Gas prices have fluctuated over time, and in the 1930s, gas prices were as low as 20 cents per gallon. In fact, some say that relatives of older people may have paid a quarter for a gallon of gas."
  21. 80s influenced synthwave makes good driving music.
  22. In Dr. Leary's case, he may be on the inside looking out...
  23. Pleasant little 1963 film about how the guy who brings a sad old car back to life gets the girl (sorta).
