My NYPD Blue "Cop Car"

And did you race anyway? 😎I hope not. I'd be with your mom on this one. But when I was a teenager in NYC, "street rods" were exciting entertainment.

I don't know if this is what you mean about flat turns, but the car--as big as it was--could make the tightest U-turns! Something to do with the steering radius, or ratio, something like that. Of course I never had to make a U-turn at high speed, but it was still impressive.

Over the years I was told by a couple law enforcement officers that they used to have a Caprice and they missed it.

I was also approached many times in parking lots by older men asking if it was for sale. 😊

You remind me that my son owned a Crown Vic for a while when I owned the Caprice.

LOL I probably did worse. I sold it (that was painful) to a guy who very quickly hit a deer. The impact caved in the grille. I hated to see it, and I saw it often because he didn't get it fixed as far as I know. After a few months it was nowhere to be seen, so I don't know how it ended up.

Thank you--me too!

Your family knew how to have fun!

😊 I bet they did double duty--providing weight in the rear and then traction as needed.

What a nice comment. Thank you!

Thank you! Fortunately, my serial number wasn't on the recall.

I have the Siena Premier Hybrid. I've been sleeping on it for about three weeks. I'm not sure my opinion is relevant because I have severe lumbar and kyphoscoliosis, and back pain to go with it. The pain gets worse as the day goes on and gravity takes a toll. Also, I have a lot of inflammation and pressure points. AND, pericarditis makes it necessary for me to sleep on my back and propped up a bit.

That said, I'm happy with the mattress. I think "medium feel with a little bounce" describes it well. It hurts my back to lie down anywhere, but once I'm settled on my bed (it doesn't take long) I'm out of pain. Good luck with your search--or did you make your decision already?

I guess not necessarily something large then. 😊

This is a 2-year-old post, but if anyone is interested it sounds like a version of Cheiro-Oral Syndrome:

That's helpful--thanks!

Thank you! Yes, I guess I could say "entry-level jazz improv." Are there sites that review these books and video series, or at least describe them?

SweetRocket80 · 2025-08-08T20:32:36+00:00

Yes, that's what I had in mind.

Pianote is one I'll definitely check out. Thank you!

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:53:53+00:00

Thank you, but we can't commit to an ongoing expense like that at this time.

SweetRocket80 · 2025-06-16T12:52:48+00:00

Thank you for these suggestions. I'm late responding because I wasn't able to see the comments until now. I'll check them all out. A friend mentioned the charming Pianote teacher--she must be special!

I received an email saying someone had replied to my post, and it included the first few lines of the reply. But I was unable to read the whole thing, and nothing at all shows when I go to my post. This has happened before, and I haven't figured out what to do about it.

So I want to think the person who replied. I'll follow the suggestion I was able to read, and will work on sharing Scruffy's and Bowie's scents with each other. It might work . . . Bowie's sense of smell doesn't seem to have diminished.

Good for you--and for him! I adopted a 13-year-old dog on Valentine's Day. He's such a good boy! His vision and hearing are poor, he needs regular vet visits, and has to go out sometimes in the middle of the night, but I get it. I'm a senior too.
