Probably North Carolina, but somewhere south and east. Only hours from both beaches and mountains, center of racing activities (lots of road courses in the SE), and good ole southern hospitality. I will live there someday, just not sure how and when. My previous plan to move out there kind of fell through.

Thank you, Lisa. No offense to anyone at all, but it's something I just choose not to openly talk about. Lots of emotions involved that aren't so pleasant to talk about, which Lisa has helped me to understand. As for an ex that I may have mentioned, I'll just say that it way my decision for her to move out of my house and for us to split, not her leaving me.

Scott, that Walmart application is awesome!

Joe, if I recall, you had tried to post some CNN links earlier and had a post or two that either disappeared or never even showed up. I'm guessing they were awaiting approval. They obviously got approved. So, it looks as if it's actually your own posts that have cost you that which you so tried so hard to get and cherished. Somehow, that seems sort of Shakespearian.

Joe, if this is really a bug up your a$$ I can come up with a devious plan for you. Get someone you really trust and give them your password, then really gang up on me. See, that's how much I care about this contest you've created for your own entertainment. I tell ya how to win. Of course it will have to be someone pretty clever because with you being at over 5100 posts most regulars here will recognize a stranger.

I was gone about 3 hours this afternoon job hunting and was shocked to see that Joe was desperate enough to post about 10 posts in a row. I am not going to go back and count but up until about 5 days ago I did not even know there was a running post count for each thread.

Don't feel bad about the age thing. I saw the car, knew what it was, read your post and thought sh**. How did I miss the vette in that picture. Saw the T-bird again and began to wonder if I needed new glasses.

I was going to comment about this, but see Jeremy already said what I was thinking. Looks like you were your own downfall.

Edit: And my post count here is up in the double digits now, so beware

I have been using a hyper baric chamber (to help heal some pressure sores on my legs) for 2 weeks now...today my allergies were bad and I couldnt clear my ears...they had to stop me at 2 atmoshpheres (about 33 feet) instead of the 2.4 (60 feet)...90 minutes in an oxygen rich environment does wonders!

Yeah, well if Joe pushes it to where he is in danger of passing one of the girls, he can have it. I'd be talked about behind my back for the rest of my life if I could out yack one of them. I am even participating in the tech threads. So I truly do not have a life.

works the same way...when you ascend from depth you have to clear your ears also

in the chamber they take 11 minutes to descend and ascend

This I find really surprising for Ford owners. Primarily because the T-Birds for the first 3 years were really just miniature full sized Fords. Nearly identical except for the hood and no rear seat. The 58's and on started to drift further and further away.

Yes those miles are original.....part of my friends monthly chores were to make sure the tires had air in them, even though it was never driven, remove the cover and feather dust the entire thing, dust-NOT vaccuum the car out completely, then re-cover it until the next month. Sorta sad.....a car like that either needs to be driven, or put in a Museum on display, not be hidden in a garage that nobody ever sees. His Dad is a Doctor....well WAS, retired now, and just globetrotts all over the place dragging bleach blonde bimbo's with him

When I saw it I instantly thought,, wow, what a nice T-Bird!!! But the reference to the Corvette made me have to look again,,, I must be getting old!!! I keep second guessing myself!!!

This is what the pressure to "be thin" does to some women:



The picture on the right is what she USED to look like...She was highly criticized for being "too fat" and now battles anorexia. This was before the drugs, which i am sure don't help matters.
Yea I think you meant crack instead of anorexia...lol

EDIT Im sure drugs were involved WAY before the public knew about them

I can completly understand why you wouldnt want to talk about it, I am the same way sometimes about my ex. I dont even think anyone other than a few of my closest friends actually know the whole story, you guys got a short peice of it.
