Doesn't fit the thread theme, but this reminded me of a recent... different experience. Shopping in Target with the wife, and we were passing by a toddler riding in his mom's cart, with mom off to the side checking out some clothes. I smiled at the kid, expecting him to either smile back or...

Looks just like the total solar eclipse did for me... whole sky full of clouds. :frown:

This is where I'm generally at now as well. I am sure to give an appreciative wave to someone (like when I have my blinker on to change into their lane and they make room for me, for example) and an apologetic wave when I know I've done something wrong, but when someone else is doing something...

She was just trying to point out the guy riding under your vehicle Cape Fear style.

Sounds good, but with the couple I checked just now (article says they were supposed to comply by Apr 10), the only way I could find them on their websites was by googling the company's broadband labels. So sure, they technically have them on their website, but I didn't see any links to them...

We talking SAT scores here?

I agree with Zow (and others) that we're all footballguys, and I think that's really a big positive that should be embraced and promoted. If you want to give the sense that you're joining a community even when simply purchasing a subscription, then I don't think you can do any better. You're...

The one difference (in my experience anyway) was that there was no "running all over the house causing havoc." If you started that at my house or any of my neighbor friends' houses, you were all kicked out to roam the neighborhood instead.

Ha. Just a metaphor here for another cluster.

Then there are the people who are having a hard time finding their second slices and, instead of blaming the host for not having enough pizza available or the people who took three slices when there was only enough for everyone to have two, they make the one who only took one feel guilty because...

I'm seeing three calls that should have been called but weren't - two against NYK and one against PHI - and two mentions of timeout attempts - one that sounds like they might be admitting they should have called and the other not so much, but neither very clear one way or the other since they...

"No cell phones are allowed in this area" Seems like people take those signs very seriously?

My kid plays competitive tiddlywinks (yes, seriously) and has met many of the top-ranked players in the world. I think they probably lose money playing.

Nope. Not something either of us have ever wanted at all, and we watch a lot of tv.

I think the line lies right there along the center of the road. (or at least somewhere less than half a car's width across it into the opposite lane) I've never heard of a kid getting hit by a speeding car in our residential neighborhood, but it's a peeve of mine - and I think a legitimate risk...

I know I've complained in the past about drivers who can't seem to stay in their lane, but... My daily commute involves a stretch on a 30mph road with a couple of blind s curves. I can't believe how often someone comes around from the other direction straddling the center line. I'm prepared...

I'm really liking Kristen as the host so far - similar enough that the changeover isn't jarring, but she brings a different kind of energy.

Not knocking anybody else, but just wanted to point out that not everybody does this. Sure, I groom myself and pay some attention to what I wear, but that's more to keep from attracting any additional attention rather than looking for more. I guess that's one reason I never related to the...

Yikes. If we used this kind of logic to weed out all of the entries in this thread where a poster is annoyed by something that doesn't really hurt them and where the annoyer doesn't have an obligation to change for the annoyed, we'd probably be on page 30 instead of 190. Let's keep this a safe...

Oh, no marital discord on this one. Complaining together about other people is basically one of our couples activities.
