The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

I had a puncher in the middle of the night in a highway (around 3am), got off the car, had the family with me (mom and three sisters) took the spare tire out, looked for the jack... where the heck is the jack?

It is the pilgrimage (hajj) vacation and all service centers I found where closed because of it, let alone being so late at night. Known big 24/7 service centers were way too far to reach in that condition.

Looked around for an hour until I found a police patrol, and it was an SUV ("a" SUV if you say Sport Utility Vehicle haha). I borrowed his jack and it was a high leveled one good for SUV's. I had to use rocks to step one with the flat tire to gain leverage to at least allow that weird jack to go under it. Oh don't worry, after replacing the spare, I had no problem removing the jack. It was well inflated and gave the car good height. I always check the spare tire and make sure it is well pressured.

Anyways, I took care of things and brought my family back home in a timely manner... given the said circumstances of course.

Now where the heck is the jack?

Why are Nissan Patrols and GMC Yukons called SUV's? I don't see any sport thing on them!!!!

I carry 5 jacks in my truck.
(I got rid of the one that came with it....too wimpy.)

So my birthday coming up in 4 days, I'll be going after tomorrow to a restaurant with my husband and his dad, at first thought to go to one but then his dad suggested some more...

So it took me nearly an hour to chose between three restaurants. Decisions aren't my forte, especially if there's other people involved. If I was by myself it probably would be a bit easier.

This forum continually reminds me that there are plenty of jerks around just like in real life. Normally, I'm not so pessimistic, but sometimes one has to vent.

Believe it or not, I learn most from those who are hostile. If I got sweet, lovable responses from everyone, I would wonder if people were being honest. Also, when we put up with the unpleasant folks we are also surrounded by pleasant folks, as well.

I'm talking about people who when the normal response would be to react with kindness and sympathy, make the choice to be jerky instead. Unfortunately, I, personally, don't learn anything from them that's edifying other than my original statement.

I'm picking up my 2013 tax returns from my CPA today.
Unexpectedly, I'll be getting a little back, instead of having to pay a boat load.
Woo hoo!

Remember the "Where the Heck is My Jack" movie? The reason was a hole in a dark road. The two right side rims got warped

I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't look like a fanny pack worn backwards.

I had a dream, and possibly an idea, that I was the CEO of Coma-Cola. It had codeine and THC instead of caffeine. And the corporation dwarfed the other cola companies. And we had giant robots for security. One of the Robots was named Al. He had a crush on my motorcycle and played lots of cards.

"Animal Planet: Surprisingly Human" = "People like reality shows so we decided to screw our animal-based format and make a neat catch-phrase to make up for it"

That sounds cool on multiple levels.
