Thanks for the reminder. We like Longmire here too. It seems like so long ago when the season ended.
looks nice! pretty color too.
Yeah, we were looking at a similar blue last year with my Sportage, but went with the grey.
The blue will look dirty more easily, but will look good when it’s nice and shiny.
Have you seen the new Highlander? Someone at work has one. Looks like a big Ford Escape. Not saying that’s good or bad, but it definitely looks different than the previous models.
I read a good book over the weekend called the Monster of Florence. it’s non-fiction, actually, but written by a writer of mystery thrillers [douglas preston], so it was a page turner. the amazing consequence of reading this book is that I have TOTALLY changed my mind on the foxy knoxy case. I was absolutely positive of her guilt beyond any doubt, but reading about the Italian justice system, I was just floored. And this book is not ABOUT Amanda knox at all!
I have not, but xshub mentioned that they had a very different look to them. I guess it’s more square or something, he said?
Escape:
well the Escape changed to a much softer rounded appearance. my SIL has one and it’s much squarer than that, forget when they got theirs. And both look somewhat similar to the smaller lexus.
Prior to that it looked like this:
Haha - yeah that is what every driver wants, slower acceleration! lol
He got the partial, mine will be the full monty. I am getting nervous. Went to class and they said there will be pain, it will be bad pain, very very bad pain. I keep hearing him say that over and over. Yikes! What am I thinking?
I went with the intention of doing the partial like W, but changed my mind once I got there. I am only doing this ONCE.
Yes like I said my SIL has one, in red.
I’m not a fan of pitbull or any rapers, uh I mean rappers.
Of course there will be very bad pain. Do you think hip replacements were a picnic?? But rehabilitative recuperative pain is very different than the debilitating pain you experience now. And it gradually improves unlike what you have now. You won’t remember the pain, they give you pain pills for it, and you will walk normally again.
Really-I’ll have to check that book out-literally-there is a small library 8 miles from here...
I never even dreamed the Italian justice system was such a fuster cluck before, but they came off as corrupt and idiotic.
I didn’t buy that Knox did the deed at all, much less alone-not with all the drug-and-alcohol fueled sex parties, break ins, undercurrents, grudges, etc-it was too much like rich-kids-on-campus gone wild with no restraints-something was bound to happen, and there was way too much blame to place on one or two people...
Especially when you only have a 4 cylinder to begin with!
At prayer meeting this morning, I had news of a neighbor man who recently had his knee done. (his wife died this past winter at home, I went on the call, we were talking about his knee replacement then). I hear it’s just 2wks and he was driving himself to his appointment to get his stitches out. I hope I am that mobile at 2 wks.
Rap makes me want to crank up AC/DC, Metallica or another angry metal group till the speakers blow up...
