Rants and Pet Peeves

I don't know if that scratch remover in a bottle works or not. The car wash we have nearby is one of those brushless things, but on our cars, I don't know if we'd notice a scratch or not.

I was checking it out online lastnight. It has really good reviews by customers and has 5 stars...well, it says they are reviews by customers. I'll be checking it out more before I buy.

If you get some and it does work, let me know!

Well, I bought it at Walgreen's yesterday...same price as online but I didn't have to pay any shipping. Now...all I have to do is use it. Works or not, I will write a review on M3C...I'll take before and after pics. M3C just added the option for multiple pics to be posted on reviews.

I haven't stopped in at M3C in ages. I'll give it a look at some point today and see what's new.

Their whole format has changed.

It's nothing like it used to be. I don't think the people over at Complaints Board even bother to snipe at M3C anymore. I preferred the old M3C, but things change!

I agree and I told Admin the old reviews on the front page is going to turn people away...thinking there's been no activity on the site. I've also noticed a lot of the comments being posted, are for those old reviews from 2010 and such...but....it's not up to me. I'd want the newest reviews to show up first. We'll see how it goes, they've been making a lot of changes.

I'm with you. There's not much point in looking at a review from, say, 2010, when you want information relevant to 2014.

I wonder why, in a driving rain storm, some people can't do a basic thing like turn on their headlights. Do they even have drivers education courses anymore?

I think a lot of schools dropped Driver's Ed. When I was in high school, I got an 'A' on my report card for Driver's Ed and I never even took Driver's Ed. When I went to report it to my counselor, I told him there was a mistake on my report card because I got an A in Driver's Ed. He said, 'Well, you got an A, so what's the problem?" I told him, 'Because I never took Driver's Ed' ... LOL!

I was 15 when I got my lerners permit. At that time (in the distant past), you had to show proof of completion of a private or public drivers ed, both classroom and behind the wheel, before you could get a full drivers license. Guess it's gotten too expensive to be considered important anymore?

Some drivers I've seen shouldn't even be trusted with a Big Wheel or Peddle Car!

One of our entertainment pleasures is watching when the Saturday Mass lets out at the local church. You get a mixture of old folks who don't look around much and go slow about everything and younger ones whose only apparent desire is to vacate the area as fast as possible. We call it 'The Rodeo'. Most of the time they miss each other. We watch until the chaos ends and then walk home!

LOL...that's funny!

It's a lot of fun, as long a you stay up the hill away from the sidewalk. Some of these folks pick up their friends/family in their wheelchairs or with canes in front of the church. To make it more convenient (I guess) they drive up on the sidewalk apparently to get as close to the victim, I mean passenger to be picked up, as possible. We've actually seen a wheelchair person roll backwards to avoid being tapped. It's really amazing how fast they can roll when they need to!

Want some more fun?  Find two people in wheelchairs. Then, you and your wife hook up a remote under each of the wheelchairs when no one is looking. Then sit up on the hill with the controls and play 'chicken'...Hehehehehe...you didn't hear that from me!

LOL! Not a bad idea! There are a couple of them up there that really can't stand each other, so maybe rig up a cage and let them settle their differences in the ring. Use the remote if the families want to get involved in the action. The priests can do some side bets and make a little money for the church, too! You should be a professional fund raiser!

I guess that's the Italian in my coming out!

Good cooking and money management skills. An excellent combination!

Jehovahs. They show up while I'm mowing the front lawn and want to wait until I finish so they can convert me or something. Look, I said I was busy. You're nice, harmless and sincere people. But you're being really obnoxious when you do that! Leave the pamphlet and have a happy day.

Next time, tell them....'this work would get done much faster if you help out' then give one the mower another a rake and tell them you'll be right back and take off for the rest of the day while they do all of your yard work. I bet they don't come back again! USE YOUR NOGGIN!!!!

An excellent idea! They're probably more physically fit than I am anyway since they spend most of their waking hours walking around knocking on doors!

What would you do without me????

Let's face it: Guys (no matter the age) need gals around to keep them functional. If we didn't get nudged now and again, we'd drink beer, eat chili, pass gas and sleep most of the time!
