Posting while Paypal is being snotty about My address, They only send debit cards to a Street Address via the Post Office and they won't use a PO Box and so My account is about to be suspended by some jerk at Paypal, Says the changes I made invalidate My account and then they send the emails after 9pm My time on a Friday and their closed until Monday, Damn Jerks. Just so I can get a replacement Paypal MasterCard Debit Card, Cause My old one was about to expire at the end of this month.

They want what is impossible, My Drivers License has a PO Box on It and only a PO Box, My Utility Bill has My Street Address and only the Street Address where I live and My Social Security Card is way over 6 Months old. I say impossible as they want both the Drivers License and the Utility Bill to have the same exact address.

Winning while never using a train.
Way too slow for me.
I need it faster.



Clearly never been on the TGV to win on a Friday evening

Believe it or not the Spanish rail system is fast and on time. It was faster and less expensive to use the AVE than it was to fly if you include the extra drive time and the extra security time at the airport and the extra baggage check time.

A rapid rail could put the short hop airlines out of business.


I believe it John.
But living in germany its just a mess.

My brother works near Frankfurt, only 30 miles away from home.
Tried to use the train but its just a joke.
Took him 2 hours to get to work.
With the car only 50 minutes.
And having 12 hour work days every minute counts.
Service is very small written in germany.


With each crime and every kindness we birth our future.

Not winning just watching. We are in the last stretch now expect a winner TODAY

Snow seems to not only affect trains, but also car makers.
My new car still hasn't arrived at the dealers, originally due on the 19th Jan, now definitely(oh yeah)on Monday!!

Brand new car......snow.......salt.......
Yuck.

Newest car I ever owned was my '92 Olds sh##box, only had 64k on the od when I bought it.
Baby it getting tired.
Don't know what I am gonna do next, given my current economic situation.

The RX7 only runs in summertime.
And I deferred having the hail damage repaired to have my eyes fixed instead.

OH, well, it still runs like stink on water......

Winning on a foggy San Jaoquin Valley morning. Can barely see the house across the cul-de-sac, and every time I look out the window I think I hear Tubular Bells/Exorcist Theme.

Up earlier than I want to be, but I'm upright and functional, so I'm winning.

Did someone say Snow? The record for the largest Snow Flake was a 15" wide Snow Flake as mentioned Here.

Guinness World Records list the world’s largest snowflakes as those of January 1887 at Fort Keogh, Montana; allegedly one measured 38 cm (15 in) wide.[14]


In any case there's no snow here, It's just a bit cold outside(41F/5C), I've got the heater on after having It off all night.

At one time I worked in downtown LA. On weekends it was about a 30 min drive from home to work. But M-F it would take 2 hours by car and parking was around $12 per day. The Bus took 50 mins and cost $1.20 Today they have a light rail and it takes about 30 mins to do the same run.

On the other had, if you take the Pacific Daylighter from Santa Barbara to Seattle, they don't even guarantee what day you will arrive, much less what time. Trains still have there place but it's not everywhere.

TGIF!!
Winning after a very very long day *pfjew*



Long day for me too, but it will be a long time before I can say TGIF again. My daughter is now a teenager and going out with friends for the first time without one of her parents. Do they make LoJack for kids?

Yes they do. Just make sure the texting device you can't get out of her hands has a GPS in it. You may even be able to download an app to turn the mike on and listen in.

Winning while noting that was one BIG Snowflake in the above quote...Once when in Kansas my folks measured one at an inch and a quarter. It looked like it was snowing cotton balls.
