Rare Lois R Posted July 29, 2020 #5501 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I know Sleep Numbers are supposed to be good but they seem to average about 3 grand. That is just not in my price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mysty Posted July 29, 2020 #5502 Share Posted July 29, 2020 A friend of mine posted an awesome picture taken by a very gifted photographer from Newfoundland named Michael Winsor. Another friend commented on the amazing picture with "Whale oil beef hooked". I sat there scratching my head for an eternity trying to make sense of the comment. Now, if you are like me (and I really hope you are not), you will be mystified by this string of words which defy understanding. Well folks, google is your friend! I guess I have been living under a rock for a considerable length of time. Now I am at least a little more informed as to the word on the street. 🤣 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare jpalbny Posted July 30, 2020 #5507 Share Posted July 30, 2020 M, that is an easy one. Or I have a mind for such things... It took me about five seconds, and then I googled it just to be sure that I wasn't the only one who heard that particular meaning in those words. Lots going on here. More in a few days after things settle. Will be lying low for a bit. Chris's Dad passed today after a long illness and we have been busy going back and forth to Pennsylvania for the past few weeks. Had serious engine trouble with one of the Audis on Monday while coming home from our last visit, including a few stalls at highway speeds which were not fun to deal with on the Thruway. It's getting traded in posthaste on a new one; not taking another chance of that happening again. Closed that deal today by trading in two cars for a new RS5 Sportback. Now back to Pennsylvania tomorrow to make arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second the above sincere wishes to JP and Chris for their loss. It is always tough and challenging to lose a parent. That is a very "personal" time for serious memories and reflection. It seems during the past few hours that something with the Cruise Critic boards were not working correctly. Glad that things are back up and running.

Will Work for Tiramisu Posted July 31, 2020 #5524 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Nice car. I had done ridiculous amount of research on cars, and had settled on taking delivery of an Audi Q7 SUV in Germany, in spring 2017. Meanwhile, our fine president imposed restrictions on doing business with Germany, and Audi cancelled the Euro delivery program. I was so bummed - I had planned a way cool road trip from central Germany, Romantic Road, Alpine Road, into Switzerland, thru Black Forest, over to France and through the wine region west of the river, Salzberg, on toward Paris. But - no dice brown rice. Maybe another day, I hope. So much cool stuff to see, can't wait til we can do it when/if the virus is under control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
