  Welcome to the OFFICIAL Friday/Saturday Night Singles' Thread 

January 27th and 28th, 2006

 

"We're Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight...Let's Celebrate...It's All Right!"

 

   

 

 

In store for tonight:

 

I read a fascinating article in the February 2006 issue of Popular Mechanics entitled "The Flying Luxury Hotel."  Rather than a cruise ship, it functions as a cruise craft -- but the potential for this new aircraft also extends to military and commercial freighting applications.  More information can be found here.  Let me know what you think!

 

Further thoughts:

 

Would someone please buy the St. Louis Blues to end the misery?  Please?

 

What is/are your pet peeve(s)?

I'm really not very ambitious. Just a decent job making enough where I can support myself. That isn't sales or customer service (I wouldn't be good at that). And I'm good to go.

I thought my college degree would help me, but it hasn't. I guess nobody needs an English major for anything.

It bites sometimes.
I sprained an ankle a couple of weeks ago and it just won`t get better,still gimping around like an old man.
That stuff used to take care of itself in a few days.Oh well.

They think a Gremlin is ugly.Guess they never saw a Pacer.

[Ciexyz]

This is the first time I've surfed this thread. Guess I feel like living dangerously, teehee!

[RosieCotton]

I imagine the fuel economy would be better, too, although I was thinking more in terms of durability.

Ah, OK! I was just curious.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! My old car was a little cavalier - it got me through many a blizzard. ;-)

[RosieCotton]

We're pretty nice. We won't bite!

Not hard, anyway...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Actually, my brother bought a used Cavalier with almost 100K on it, and drove it for seven years before it finally died. They were good little cars.

[tuliptree76]

I had to say good bye to mine. It had almost (but not quite) 200,000 miles on it.

[scott7278]

My apologies! :)

[Fiddlstix]

Good Evening Everyone J

Last week on the thread I Posted a Musical Question (Click Here) Midi File.

Nobody got it.......
So......
Here's the answer J

Here is the "Vocal" MP3

Click the Pic J

The Famous Old Russian Folk Song:
Ochi Chornia
(Or Ochi Chernya/Chrenye)
(Whatever the true spelling is)

Have Fun All J

[scott7278]

I had a 1992 Jeep Wrangler, but had to sell it in '98 because of its lack of functionality. That's what gets me so excited about the new Jeep!

No, I do not work for them. :)

You must have taken good care of it!

[RosieCotton]

I didn't listen to it! Woulda gotten it...though I don't know how to spell it either...

Thanks for the MP3!

[Ciexyz]

We're pretty nice. We won't bite.

As long as you don't kick, either....

[carlr]

Not to worry.

[Fiddlstix]

There are three acceptable English spellings that I'm aware of. That's why I used all three in the post J

Not many people can name it though J
(Usually only the older generation can)

[pcottraux]

No guarantees about clawing, though.

[Ciexyz]

Not worried a-tall!

[WFTR]

I have depth perception issues...which is one reason driving in traffic isn't my bad. Otherwise I'd think about getting a trailer for the furniture. As it is...I'll just replace it. I don't have anything fancy anyway.

I don't have any depth perception at all, so I understand your feelings on this point. Driving a U-Haul truck isn't too bad. I rented one in Nashville in '94 to move some furniture that I inherited. I brought it from Nashville to Louisiana. I was fortunate in that I didn't have to go through too many cities. I would think that the drive from Fort Collins to Washington shouldn't be too bad. Most of that part of the country is pretty rural.

[RosieCotton]

I worry about going near Portland and that whole area. And parking the thing.

But I should be OK with just the van.

Do you have one eye that doesn't work, or doesn't work well? That's why I don't have depth perception...makes me wonder just what it's like. Maybe I'll get to see depth in heaven. ;-)

It also means I hate driving in the dark. I can judge distances using size and overlap during the day, but at night...forget that. Tough with turning into multi-lane traffic.
