Anybody else remember when all roads had a little something between the pavement & the ditch, called a shoulder?

Anybody else remember when we had no need for bicycle paths & pedestrian walkways because of these shoulders?

I believe that if everyone owned a motorcycle, instead of a car, those stupid strollers & cyclists wouldn't be p***ing off as many motorists.

Not me, what trouble are you having? Encoding or playing?

What bugs me is people riding their bikes on the road, well out into the lane of traffic, when there's a separate bike path running right next to the road!

For some reason, every time I start up Windows, I get an error message that says, "ERROR.  Could not access local server."

I have NO idea why I'm getting that message (been getting it for like a couple years now), but, as far as I know my internet (and everything else) seems to work just fine.

I guess click "ok" and ignore it, but sometimes I wonder what's causing it.  

Maybe it goes back to the time that my stepdad tried to set up my computer so that I could print from his printer in the other room (back when I lived with my parents.)

Dunno.

One of life's great mysteries I guess.

"The walls of Roman toilets were sometimes painted with pictures of Roman gods - Stercutius the gods of muck spreading, Crepitus the god of flatulence, and Cloacina the goddess of the sewers."

8 Reasons to Marry an Older Woman

1. Because they have more Knowledge of the world, and their Minds are better stored with Observations; their Conversation is more improving, and more lastingly agreeable.

2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a thousand Services, small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman.

3. Because there is no hazard of children, which irregularly produced may be attended with much inconvenience.

4. Because through more Experience they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your reputation; and with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclined to excuse an old Woman, who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his manners by her good Councils, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes.

5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the Highest part, The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower parts continuing to last as plump as ever; so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old one from a young one. And as in the Dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of Corporal Enjoyment with on old Woman is at least equal and frequently superior; every Knack being by Practice capable of improvement.

6. Because the sin is less. The Debauching of a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her Life unhappy.

7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend making an old Woman happy.

8th & lastly. They are so grateful!!!

Oh man, I can vouch for that.  Even the regularly produced ones may attend you with much inconvenience
