It would also be a safe prediction to assume that this is how you would react to it. Some things are easy to anticipate

Going to the Drive In on my first date with the person that would be my eventual wife was showing Willy Wonka. Rather uneventful first date other then she accidentially melted the plastic on the channel selector on my radio in my brand new, first new car. A 1970 Buick Skylark. My pride and joy. So things didn't start off real well, but, I was a gentleman and never mentioned it again in all our time together. I thought about it, but, never said anything.

That car was an example of how much an automobile can become a very strong part of ones life. It was the car that we had our first date in. The car that we used on our honeymoon trip to Quebec City. The Car that we used to take my wife to the hospital for both my daughters as well as the one that brought them home for the first time. We had that car until 1977. By then it had 140K miles on it (which was extreme for cars in those days) and by chance I had a sick child, my oldest, and I needed to get her to the ER quickly and for the first time it failed me and didn't start. By then it had a number of small things that needed fixing, but, it made no sense to put money into something that wasn't likely to last a lot longer so I traded it in for something that I could rely on. Always regretted it, but, back in those days with winters in Vermont and the fact that Vermont used a lot of salt on the roads and Detroit wasn't exactly building cars to last, It was the wise choice at the time.

After all, it’s kinda’ like a gyroplane...!!!!! :hilarious:

Which reminds me...
Even though I’m totally in love with that form of flying, and it is relatively low-risk, there is still risk involved, and we have our first grandchild due shortly, so it’s been put on a back-ish burner for now. ;)
When we found out we were expecting our first child DWifey sold all of her SCUBA equipment. She had an advanced certification , and had been as deep as 180 ft. in the Atlantic of the coast of Florida during the time the movie Cocoon was being filmed...she loves that movie...!!! :happy:
Many times, we need to give up or put off the things we love for the ones we love, and I’m OK with that...!!!!!!! :inlove: :happy:

Yep, although American cars have gotten much better in the last many decades (because they were forced, financially, to get off there fat, complacent, lazy arses to save themselves), my car motto is still HHT...Honda, Hyundai, Toyota. I’ve driven 2 Hyundai’s ‘til they dropped through the course of 27 years. Sooooo worth what we paid for them.
DWifey has been driving her 2010 Toyota Camry for 5+ years without any maintainance other than brake pads.
My mom and pop still own his 2 old Chevy trucks, and they bought their second brand new Honda Pilot about a month ago. There was nothing wrong with first one, but, they wanted a newer model and gave the other one to our niece who just got her DL...!!! :)

I do not. I'm still looking at where I would want to get certified. Currently, I'm in ITAM, so that's probably where I would look to get any certifications. Oh, and wait for my company to pay for it. :joyfull:

I was just wondering, because almost every job that requests certifications.. they ask for the COMPTIA or ITIL ones..
More advanced ones request very specific sets of Microsoft's or CISCO's.

I have trouble with instructions. I can usually figure things out based on how they look like they should go (seriously, I was eight years old and set up my grandma's DVD player because I was like, "Well, this looks like it should go here"...no wonder I'm now in IT) and if I can't figure it out from there, I'll look up a video. Written directions and diagrams do more harm than good in my case. I set up my friend's TV stand using online videos and some of the written stuff online. We used their instructions strictly to look up their YouTube channel.

Sometimes I think you're related to James and then I realize he's a smelly boy:facepalm::hungover::banghead:
