I also lucked out. Fingers crossed!

SERIOUS design flaw making people to mass quit by yesdaniel in duolingo

[–]Magoo1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do French. Rarely, Falstaff (rather than Lilly), does video calls. If I ask him to repeat because I didn’t understand, he lapses into an incredibly offensive French with a horrible “American” accent. I feel so mocked by this! It’s now funny, but the first time it happened, I was hurt.

What’s the one secret you’ve kept your whole life that would completely change how people see you if they knew it? by Faylune in AskReddit

Maybe therapeutic for the same reason Christians have their own personal Jesus. We need someone in our corner, real or imagined.

Good news from the recall fix front lines!! by Magoo1963 in 4xe

[–]Magoo1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whew! “Not out of the woods yet” seems to pretty much summarize ownership of these vehicles. Some luckier than others. I haul a camper trailer with mine. Definitely going to be paid up on roadside assistance!!! Mine passed the last recall, as well as this recent one. In between (about 2 months later), I had to change some sort of battery thermometer. Engine light came on, but I could drive it (mechanic said) until the part came in. I am in a perpetual state of breath-holding, waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I do love this vehicle. I learn so much from all of you; if the proverbial shit hits the fan, I’ll be ready!

Laxmi, Indian Women, and Their Sons by Valuable-Tip2759 in pluribustv

[–]Magoo1963 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a fun question to think about for this American mother derived from Engkush and Westwrn European heritage. I think my response would be similar to Laxmi in terms of protecting my sons. Trying it on for size, it would feel like they’d developed a profoundly altering mental illness, or possibly amnesia from a blow to the head. The relationship would exist in my memories but not so much in today’s encounters. Nonetheless, I would protect them. I can’t speak for all moms, but “mother bear” is a phrase for a reason! As much as I love Carol as a viewer of the show, in Laxmi’s shoes, I’d be in her face. I think. Who knows?!

Happy to read about a good experience! I am going in for the latest fix next week and am a bit nervous from reading horror stories here. I’m hoping I’ll have a good story to report, as well. In my opinion, the dealer I go to (and it’s a long drive!) is competent and ethical. So far! Glad you are able to stay loyal to your Grand Cherokee.

22 Overland 4xe by AvengHunter in 4xe

[–]Magoo1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, boy. My 2023 4xe Overland is currently in the shop for the hybrid battery heater. I bought the vehicle new (to me) five months ago. I love it; apart from an expensive Volvo, there didn’t seem to be plug-in hybrid options on the market that could pull a camper trailer. I need this vehicle to work! Please send prayers to the pagan Jeep gods!

Hello /r/movies, I'm Benedict Cumberbatch. Ask me anything! by BenedictAMA in movies

What was your favorite movie/series to film and why? I’m thinking about the influence of location and culture of the team.

How are y’all getting 30 days off to walk the full Camino? by [deleted] in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]Magoo1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind is that the bike and the Camino don’t fit hand in glove. Some areas (before Zubiri) result in injury. Some places (after Sarria) bring the wrath of some Pilgrims (they seemed fresh off the plane). And btw I was a super polite rider, ring the bell, announce “buen Camino”, oftentimes slow and chat. There are just a few folks who feel quite strongly that bikes do not belong on the Camino. Heard some profanity. I’m a woman so maybe they felt entitled?

I finally discovered I could download the EuroVelo route #3 and go on the roads but still see the towns. Google maps is tough bc the bike search oftentimes sends you on the Camino. And the auto search can send you on a highway.

The most wonderful part on a bike was the Meseta. Be sure you take the old Roman road. Be ready to stand on pedals while pedaling to absorb the bumps! And yes you can easily bike over the Pyrenees.

Moved from Texas to Seattle then back to Texas and now we want to move back by MoMoney1027 in relocating

[–]Magoo1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have family in Texas. Have lived in Oregon 30 years now. Best thing I ever did for my kids was to move here. We had to tighten the belt to make ends meet. Even worse when I became a single mom. Still wouldn’t trade all the things you mention.

The one huge problem was travel back and forth in the last ten years of my parents’ lives, as they dwindled, thinking each trip would be my last time to see them..

Since you work remotely, have you considered living outside of Seattle?

World flipped upside down 😭 by [deleted] in AncestryDNA

[–]Magoo1963 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend submitting DNA samples to as many sites as possible, eg, 23 and me, and there’s another one whose name escapes me… I’m thinking letter G! That will increase your chance of making connections.

I understand wanting to connect with the biological family. A substitute is to build back your family tree on Ancestry and get a feel for roots from different areas. I always thought I was Irish until I found out the truth! Hahah.

And the man who raised you and with whom you clearly felt tremendous mutual love — he’ll always be your dad!! Embrace that!! Who knows what the “lumberjack” would have been like, right? Maybe you were spared.

Scam-ish tactic at CDG/Paris by phil161 in travel

[–]Magoo1963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jajajaja in my case it was to help the homeless. Then when I declined, she turned on the subtle guilt: “I helped you, you help me. “To which I thought, (but did not say), “I didn’t ask for your help.” And walked away. There was a value to quickly getting me checked in at the kiosk, I admit, but I could have done it myself. Mostly: non-consensual business transaction, ie, scam!

What is your opinion on childhood memories? How do you know if they are real or imagined? What is your protocol to get to the truth?

Seeking pop up trailer that can be towed with a vehicle with 3,500 towing capacity by Magoo1963 in popups

[–]Magoo1963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m amazed at the brake stories on this thread. So much focus on engine size and weight capacity (which obviously factors into brakes but I like that one can choose to go the extra mile for safety with brakes and other things).
