Yeah before I had kids of my own, I was a "Aint no kid of mine gonna live on chicken nuggets" kind of parent. Eldest Queso Kids aren't picky. My youngest eats chicken nuggets, cheese pizza, and butter noodles. Only.

No one can make you eat your owns words quite like your kids.

A Volvo is pretty high on my list of dream projects. One day.

Here is one on Craigslist in Colorado.

https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/d/grand-junction-1968-volvo-122s/7764247408.html. 

:0)

Not just Colorado, it's about 10 miles from my house. Some enabling services are available.

I once had a minor freak out when I couldn't feel my keys in my pocket. After a dozen or so seconds of panic, I found them.

They were in the ignition of the truck I was driving. While doing 80mph on the expressway on my way to work.

The worst part is that I have done that more than once indecision.

This very day, not 12 hours ago, I was wandering around the shop searching for the portable phone I was listening to...

You would be surprised how many people fall for someone calling them and saying "i cant find my phone, can you look around for it?"

(this one bothers me because the math is wrong.  It should say 0+(10x0) = 0 )

Bish, please. I've used the flashlight on my phone to look for my phone in my car.

In the movie "World's Fastest Indian", there's a scene where Hopkins is leaving the house, and he makes the Sign of the Cross while saying "Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch".  While I'm sure some religious person somewhere is offended by that, I've started doing it myself, and its amazing how much it helps. I don't wear a watch, and I usually have food with me, so I've expanded the Holy Trinity to include "Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, Phone and Lunch".  

You gotta grab your nuts on the second one, to make sure they're where they ought to be, too.

Which is not to say I've worked out all the bugs. Quite frequently I will walk out of the house, forget why I went outside, and, rather than going back inside, will lean into it and just start walking somewhere in the yard purposefully, figuring I'll either remember why I came out here, or come up with something else I need to do while I'm out here.  And either way, I'll enjoy this nice walk that I'm on in the meantime.

Coworker from Dallas comes to Chicago to make joint sales calls in the area with me along with Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I mention a famous place we gotta eat lunch at - The Brat Stop in Kenosha, WI.  German restaurant, bar, cheese stop and Packers crap for sale - you get the idea. 

Dude asks me what a bratwurst is so I explain the German menu (????).  Dude then orders chicken strips.

I'm confused. I want to downvote this, because it's offensive, but I also feel it needs to be upvoted for emphasis.

Instead, I will use this forum to educate e'rryone here of the best festival of the summer: 

https://www.bucyrusbratwurstfestival.com/

If you're anywhere within a days drive of central Ohio that weekend, there's no better place to be. Plus, Mid Ohio is right there, and there's bike races that weekend, too.
