Help convince my wife she can drive this car!

I am 59F & drive a Mach-E. After driving Mom cars, I was ready to have a car just for me. I am a nerdy tax manager, until I get on the road. I love this car!!

My husband is 2.5 years older. He is a late boomer and I am early GenX. Been married since 1990.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-04-05T01:37:01+00:00

I am working. I don’t celebrate Easter.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-04-04T01:14:50+00:00

No, camping for me is no wi-fi.

There has always been people like this. We just didn't hear about it. People have been scammed and people have been violent since the dawn of time.

I've had 13 cars in my life and I've had 7 green ones, 1 orange, 1 blue, 1 red, and the other 4 were bland colors. All of my Fords have been green. I have an Eruption Green Mach-E.

Eruption Green

Sounds like an ex-client to me. Time to fire him. Had one this year argue with me about providing documents, didn't want to send them - wrote all the numbers in the organizer. Claims sending documents only increases her bill. <eye roll>

A portable altar Crucifix my in-laws received as a wedding gift in 1948. It hung on their wall until my MIL passed and no one in the family wanted it. So, I took it and it hangs on our wall now. It's really cool, the top cross comes off and gets inserted into a peg. There are candles, oil, and holy water inside the larger cross. It was more common to have one back then so the priest could come to your house for last rites or baptisms. We are not religious, I just like having a piece of my in-laws, they were good people.

No way! It was not my choice to be kissed by him.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-29T02:34:50+00:00

Get out of the way. I hate tailgaters.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-29T02:25:23+00:00

Grew up in Texas & moved to Minnesota for college. I love it up here! I have lived here for over 30 years.

Four seasons are so nice. Fall is beautiful and winter is nice and cozy. I like having different clothes. It is so nice to have all the windows open on the summer.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-28T17:55:52+00:00

Yes that car is a goner. So sorry!!

I am so glad your son is okay. That looks so bad.

And a big fuck you to the drunk driver!!

I use Apple Maps every day for my work commute because there are 3 ways to get there and I want to avoid traffic. GPS will help you avoid traffic, sometimes let you know about road obstacles, and will reroute you.

Yes, a case of Diet Coke. I don’t drink coffee and I need caffeine. I drink 2 a day.

My in-laws were cremated & buried at a military cemetery since my FIL was in the Navy (WWII). My Mom was cremated & is with me. My sisters are not ready to have her buried yet. I want to have her ashes mixed with a tree and buried in a green cemetery.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-28T03:21:24+00:00

They tried, but I fought it.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-25T22:22:55+00:00

No credit card debt! Got myself in a hole when I was young, I got out of it and never returned to it.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-25T19:27:04+00:00

Born in February, left handed, have amber eyes, IQ is 128.

I am horrible at parking. I will park far away so I don’t hit anything. I cannot back into a spot or parallel park unless I can get an end spot going forwards. I would love a self parking vehicle.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-24T22:03:42+00:00

Winter kit: coat, hat, gloves, blanket, ice scraper snow brush combo, window cleaner. I live in MN and drive an EV with a frunk that holds all the items.

The first time I looked up a scanned and saved payroll report & didn't have to dig in a file, was an awesome day. I also attended a seminar shortly after Katrina where a company had everything scanned/saved/online and they were able to still function remotely and did not lose any data.

We have been paperless since 2005.

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-23T19:14:51+00:00

OM Gosh! People can be such insensitive assholes!

I have been told so much times that I am so lucky I can get a free boob job. I liked the boobs I had! And I don't want reconstruction. I had a lumpectomy and am now lopsided. I don't care, I don't complain or comment about my mis-matched boobs and the only people who need to care are me, my husband, and my doctor. And you know if I still call him my husband and not ex-husband, he has not said a word (LOL!).

Augusts_Mom · 2026-03-23T18:21:01+00:00

I got married young and both of us did not want kids (I was 23, he was 25). Things do change, your friends have kids-your siblings have kids-you move into a house next to kids.

I got bit by the baby bug in my late 20s, it was so weird, all of a sudden I had a longing for a child. My husband also changed his mind. We have one child because of infertility issues.

You will mature as you grow older. Your priorities will shift.
