@bimmy-lee Oh man those boxy CRX models were great. They’re so light to begin with,, and there’s not a bunch of gubbins taking space. I had one in Tennessee, and made some scratch at the Bristol dragway once in awhile for fun. But it was a great grocery car too. I think mine got about 29-33mpg by the time I’d rerouted vacuum and taken off redundant things.
I’ve learned that I can’t play Graveyard Keeper past 9pm or else I lose track of time. But I just made my fifth zombie minion, so there’s that.

I've learned to take Yoshi's Island in small spurts at a time. I'm starting to warm up to the game more, but it's kinda annoying when you're knocked halfway down a pit with no easy way back to the top, and there's a crying baby waiting....
@HobbitGamer Ah, makes sense. XD I also buy used, though I tend to pick things that won't need major tune-ups for awhile. I can do some very basic car maintenance, but I've never been much of a gearhead.
Currently playing: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Switch)
@Tyranexx I'd advise against ibuprofen. Even in small doses, it's more damaging than nearly any other painkiller. The only one I stock, is paracetamol, which in the US is known as acetaminophen or Tylenol.
@bimmy-lee You're friends definitely aren't wrong, but if you stop to think about it for a moment, then you'd soon realize that the players and the teams simply don't have the luxury to care as much or as long, because after the loss of the game, or even a championship, they have to move on, and change their mindset to training for the next game or the new season, while we as spectators are still left with the defeat of our team.
But yeah, becoming older takes the edge off a bit, and being a parent probably also helps in some ways. Although, if you look at my old man, who's 76 now, and is still shouting at the TV screen, so for some people, some things never change...
@HobbitGamer God, no. How would that even work? Would it then be an ice slipper instead of a glass shoe? And they only rub noses instead of kissing?
@Heavyarms55 Concerning your philosophical question, I'd say I have to agree with @HobbitGamer where the car is concerned: engine and transmission is like the heart and soul of a car. If it would concern a human, then far as I'm concerned, the same would be true: heart and soul = the person, so as long as the heart and brains are still together, regardless of them being put in a cybernetic body for all I care, then it would still be you.
The body is not you. Got a nice quote for you that supports that notion:
I turn to you, I poke you in the arm with my finger
and I ask: "Is this your body?" You answer: "Yes."
I then ask: "Well, if that's your body, then WHAT are you?"
@ThanosReXXX Yes, then the prince has to spend 55 minutes on screen searching a frozen tundra for the right fishing hut to find the woman that fits the ice slipper.
So....the ball joint job is around $700. Dang factory design has the originals welded to the control arms, otherwise I'd do it myself. Pooooooooopy diapers.

I have bones from a dead man in my neck, the threads from a surgical screw in my ankle, and ink under my skin. Still me because me isn’t my body. Not sure what me is, but it isn’t my shell.
@ThanosReXXX - Yep, that’ll probably be me if I’m lucky enough to live that long. I still do plenty of yelling/cursing at my TV. Nice quote, I enjoyed that, what is it from?
@HobbitGamer - Awe man, you have to buy the whole knuckle. Huge job. Sorry man.
I did when i was kid and preTeen. 😳
I had tendency to hit the TV when i saw some violences like peoples fighting or peoples arguing with anger.
I had ever condemned some actor / actress due to their F***ing evilness (example Soraya Montenegro from telenovela Maria la del Barrio, that f***ing b**** 😠 ) and i still f***ing hate them until today. I hate them to death.
@bimmy-lee Nah, the knuckle is good. They've got tools to cut and shake out the rivets, that's just the reason for the labor cost. Good news is that my work I've done myself over the past 2 years on the front end all got the thumbs up from them; rotors, helicoil repair on caliper, stabilizer links, wheel hub & bearings. Since the control arm bushings, tie rods, and shocks are good, this should be the last high-mileage repair for awhile. At least, one that I won't do myself. I've still got to get around to changing those valve cover gaskets, but I think I'll do that in the winter with an entire top end gasket and seal replacement.

@HobbitGamer Yeah, and then something about building a huge, royal igloo...
By the way: I really enjoyed your "news at 5" skit in the Senran Kagura pinball slaughtering, errr... review...
@bimmy-lee I honestly can't remember anymore. I had it stored on my computer in the documents folder for ages. I usually do that, when I come across stuff like interesting quotes or stories. Got quite a few of them.
I actually see I forgot a sentence at the end of it. It's supposed to say: "you're a spiritual being".
One thing that does often work, is to simply Google the first sentence of that entire quote, in quotation marks, so that Google searches for it as a whole sentence, instead of as a bunch of loose words, then a site should pop up, where that quote is mentioned.
@Anti-Matter - Anti! I’d never imagine you capable of even thinking those words! You surprise me all the time. About the bones, someone threw a voodoo hex on me, and I’m turning zombi. Joking. I had a couple herniated disks that had to be removed. The surgeon places wedges of cadaver bone in their place (as well as a titanium bracket) which help instigate bone growth and fuse the vertebrae together. So far, it doesn’t appear that they were haunted bones.
@HobbitGamer - I see, hope it goes well and ends up cheaper than they estimated.
@ThanosReXXX - I did a quick check in the link you provided, but still couldn’t find an attribution other than “ancient sages”. I’ll keep looking, thanks.
@bimmy-lee Well, it's been too long ago for me to remember exactly which site I copy/pasted it from (I just checked the date on the stored document on my computer, and it says Sept 2nd 2003), but it has to be one of the four mentioned in the search result. Often times, it's fora or knowledge sites, that I grab these things from.
Anyway, I thought you just wanted to know where I got it from, not what the original origins of the actual quote were. But going by those links, it's probably biblical or something religious. I'm not a religious person at all, but like all knowledge and wisdom books, each of them still contains some actual truths.
Here's a couple more modern ones, to mull over:
"Reality is just a shared narrative that we all agree to believe."
"Just because you didn't get the thing that you want, doesn't mean you have to be someone you're not."
@ThanosReXXX Haha, wonderful. And I was waiting for all the finger pointing and opinionated projectiles do devolve into a “you can’t tell me what to say” freedom of speech thing. It just happened. My morning has brightened. Feed me, posters. Feed me 😂
