Would it be too weird to have an off-topic, "who has the best handwriting?" contest?

This may either be a great idea or the greatest idea ever.

Mine looks like a 6 year old did it.

I don't claim to have the best handwriting but I'm sure to kick all the millennials' sorry arses in this.

Time to bust out those fountain pens and Rhodia notepads.

One time years ago my wife and I were in Harrah's in Tahoe. I was playing blackjack and my wife was on my arm. The cocktail waitress brings me a beer and I give her a chip and say," thanks sweetheart". Later that night after dinner we are up in our room. My wife was tired, but I wanted to play more so I said I was going down to the casino. My wife says, "have fun, but don't call any of the cocktail waitresses sweetheart!"

I just started laughing and said ok.

I may have posted this before, but the FiST absolutely was leased as an experiment in Ford reliability. While it has had some issues, they've all been minor, and mostly cosmetic.

That being said, the HVAC stuff alone would have set me back about $900 if out of pocket, the full warranty will expire the same time the lease does, and the car is already worth $1,500 less than what the August buy-out would be, despite having 11,000 miles fewer than projected.

Thankfully I get drop the thing off at Ford and let them take a wash on it, and also get to spend the summer driving potential replacements.

Oof. First time paying to have someone prepare my taxes.

Worth it.

Though it's a bit late to find out Turbo Tax was failing to find a deduction I should have been taking for the last 15 years on my state form. Probably would have been $6k over the years. Also getting enough back this year to cover the first half of our property taxes I just paid, and that's not chump change... So glad it's all done.

Being allowed only 1/4 the deduction next year is going to suck.

Now off to the freezing garage to install more parts.

LOL My wife hears me call women Sweatheart all the time and doesn't care. She would however be really pissed if i called her that because I only use it dripping in sarcasm when a woman really pisses me off. Same applies when I call a guy "buddy". OK if I say "this is my buddy" but if I say "nice move buddy" it does not mean you are in any way my friend.

There are pictures just like that of Hum's hands in some caves in France! They are accompanied by drawings of stick figures hunting mastodon though.

Ok, looks good. Wife is ok on the Exige. I have to sell the 911, and she wants to DD the twin for the next 2 years. She has a 5 mile commute. I will have to DD the Exige.

I think I can live with that.
