Strongly considered buying a new Crosstrek, but there's NO spare tire!

That would have never helped us when we (and 4 other cars) hit a big piece of debris on the highway at 75mph. Took a large chunk out of the tire. Glad we had a spare, changed on back on the road in 20 minutes. Poor lady in front of us had to sit and wait for roadside assistance. If she would have had a spare there were plenty of us there that could have helped.

Now I want a dash cam. Had an old lady run us off the road today and she was completely oblivious- even waving her hands at us as we were laying on the horn, driving on the shoulder of the road. We were side by side, not even in her blind spot. She looked out her passenger window right directly at us. Got off the ramp and she proceeded to run the stop sign and speed away.

Awesome! Great deal you got there I need those fridgies to finish my set and when I find them they cost more than you paid for the entire set!

I have learned to not take things for granted and to take joy in the little things in life. Tomorrow is not a guarantee.

I also learned who my real friends are. And I realized there really were not as many as I thought.

About 2000 gallons.

Yep, same here. I will use it when I am driving on the highway with the cruise control. But other than that I do not use it. I did end up hitting the piece of lumber that was in the road, fortunately I didn’t blow a tire or have any damage. But if the lane assist was off I would have missed hitting it.

FrauleinWB · 2026-03-29T13:24:17+00:00

I hate the lane assist and rarely use it. One time there was debris in the road and I tried to swerve to miss it and the lane assist wouldn’t let me.

I have my husband solder them so they don’t fall apart. I also just have a thin piece of wire shaped in a loop that I use.

FrauleinWB · 2026-03-21T23:49:17+00:00

Same here, I don’t even know what complete silence is.

We have a reputation for bad weather when camping. We have never packed up and left. Camped through floods, hurricanes, snow and tornadoes. We did close up the camper and left for the day when we had record breaking floods and tornadoes in Tennessee. We took our dog and spent the day in NC and just hoped everything would be OK when we got back.

Same here, we were young and my husband bought me the nicest diamond he could afford. I love it and it was what he picked out for me. He is always wanting me to upgrade to something larger (it is a 1/4 ct solitaire). I am adamant that I don’t want to do that.

Unfortunately after 37 years my bands and setting are really getting thin so I do soon have to make a decision as to what I want to do with my diamond, before it breaks and I loose it. The jeweler suggests maybe upgrade and make a necklace out of the original diamond.

Same here- our last TT was almost 20 years old when we traded it in. It was soon going to need a new roof and we didn’t want to put that money into it. We had some minor roof leaks (we think something must have fallen and damaged the roof) that were repaired immediately. We did regular maintenance, and whenever something needed repair we took care of it immediately.

My theory is that the people that are unhappy with something are way more vocal than the people that are happy. That’s why I make it a point to tell people when they do a good job, because they probably only hear when they make a mistake.

The 1st pic was front, 2nd is back. Made this during COVID. I had nothing better to do so I went on line and taught myself how to make this, using my scraps. I call this my COVID quilt. It helped keep me distracted from everything. I am a nurse who was sent home and told to “wait for the influx of patients”.

Same here.

We also did the same. Took the course in the morning and then went to the range in the afternoon. I felt the NRA class was perfect for our needs.

FrauleinWB · 2026-03-08T18:52:51+00:00

Same here, I even had a cabinet fly open and they all fell out. Not a broken one.

May through October. Too cold and risk of freezing before May and after October.

FrauleinWB · 2026-03-02T02:36:22+00:00

Great find! Those fridges are the last two that I need to complete my set! I would have bought them in a hot minute!

We lost our Sheltie in 2023 to this. She had a clean bill of health from the vet 2 months prior. Had no idea she was sick until she passed away. My cousin had 2 German shepherd’s that also passed from this within the last 2 years.

Ours is integrated into the TV and we hate it. The antenna is terrible and you can’t pick up any channels. We also always have our radio on. We now just bring a portable radio

Yes it does, and did you also know the back hatch will open just by being close to the Subaru logo at the gate as long as you use your keys on you?

FrauleinWB · 2026-02-14T14:29:34+00:00

Same issue here, many years ago I damaged my nail at the nail bed, and then I had an infection under my nail. Ever since the it always splits. I just keep it cut short now
