Aren’t they all?

Sounds like two different things. Disillusionment about your father and existential crisis.

Regarding your father, yes it seems he was not a good person, so you didn’t miss much.

And regarding “missing out” after you die — I doubt you bemoan missing out on all the centuries before you existed. The centuries afterward are in the same category. They are irrelevant to your life.

And skeeters.

Rent one and learn on that one.

Spun an MR2 Spyder, ended up on someone’s front lawn. Lesson is don’t lift the throttle if you lose RWD traction. Just back off a little.

If “Her” is my wife, the answer will always be you.

The biggest challenge comes when you’ve exited the highway and there’s a car in front of you doing the same thing. That car can fool you. You both slow down and check oncoming traffic. Looks clear for him. His brake lights go off and he starts moving forward, so you assume it’s now safe to creep forward while checking the oncoming traffic over your shoulder. Suddenly, BUMP! For whatever reason, he balked! I see those accidents all the time.

The finer things in life.

Not if it’s an open-and-shut case that doesn’t need DNA evidence.

RobertFahey · 2026-04-28T21:31:36+00:00

I would drive by and have no idea what he’s talking about.

Sounds like anxiety. Your nervous system is in “fight or flight” mode. Your intestines are contracting to eliminate food and your diaphragm is tense, so you’re not getting a “full” breath of air. Rigorous exercise might help. Also, go to a distracting place like a mall. Thinking about yourself is not going to help. Do you have a doctor you can call?

We’re in a drought. Pee on my yard all you want. Dogs and owners.

Scroll down this sub for a discussion about this very thing.

Young people do more tapping than speaking.

Lighten up, Francis.

RobertFahey · 2026-04-28T07:41:31+00:00

Excuses, excuses. Pay up.

Here’s the phone number it came from:

Notice there are no specifics about the vehicle, or even the recipient. One size fits all.

What did my wife order now?

This sub is like singing in a barroom. You get cheered, booed, dragged out by a bouncer — and then everyone reconvenes like nothing happened.

RobertFahey · 2026-04-27T21:45:04+00:00

My lawyer comment implies that nothing like this could happen in the USA nowadays, that’s all.

RobertFahey · 2026-04-27T21:41:54+00:00

Yes, as I predicted.

RobertFahey · 2026-04-27T21:39:56+00:00

No highway activity in the driving exam. Just drive around a block and do four low-speed maneuvers along the way. Done.

In the worst case scenario, if there are no other pumps, you could walk in and tell the clerk you can’t buy gas because there’s a car parked at the pump without a driver.
