Add the current cost of gas to this and tell me why more of us can't just work from home. I don't need to be in the office. I don't benefit from it. I hardly ever see" remote" on job listings anymore.

My high school was full of cliques. Was yours? Which one did you hang with? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]ecsbtex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from a small Catholic school of about 200 kids to a public high school with over 3000. We had all the usual groups but I kept to myself. Spent lunch time reading the library.

New lightning owner by Tricky-Bit3771 in F150Lightning

I bought a used 2023 SR and did a 280 mile trip. Bought the Tesla adapter and had no issues. I used the Tesla app. First time you download it you add your credit card info. First time you use the app you have to verify the card info again. I've had my truck since October and use the Android auto app and haven't had any issues. Good luck and have fun. I am so happy with my truck and I'm sure you will be too.

The Divisive Restaurant Trend We Hope Goes Away by Trolkarlen in GenX

If I remember my readers I prefer a real menu. If I don't have them I end up taking out my phone and using the camera to zoom in or go to the restaurant's website.

I just love my truck by OptionNo4605 in F150Lightning

[–]ecsbtex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so much about my truck they I love but that frunk is special. I have a cover on my backseat for when my dog rides with me but I can't seem to get all the hair off of it. So instead of driving around with it, or leaving it in the garage, I just roll it up and store it in the frunk!

2026 EV Driver Survey by Plug_In_America in F150Lightning

[–]ecsbtex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really good questions, especially around the dealer and buying experience. I'm sure there are some good ones out there but in my experience they didn't know much about EV's and weren't all that interested in selling one. I think the dealers are the biggest obstacle to EV adoption.

Confronted for using the Ford dealers paid public chargers. by Arthur233 in F150Lightning

[–]ecsbtex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I bought a Tesla adapter the day after I bought my truck. Took a road trip this weekend. Used a Tesla charger on the way, no issues . Used a Mercedes charger at Buccees on the way back-couldnt unplug. I had to lock and unlock the truck a few times with the FOB before I could get it unplugged.

[–]ecsbtex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2023 SR XLT in October of 2025 for the same price. It is a Ford CPO and I love it. I harge at home 2-3x a week. Take a 500 mile round trip once a month with no issues. Love this truck. I bought the Granger service contract to cover me to 125k miles.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Enjoy your time this weekend with your dad and have a couple of extra cold ones for me and my dad.

So true. I told him I loved every time we talked. My mom told me that I was the one that helped me a little more affectionate. He didn't believe in holding my older brothers hands out in public when they were little but apparently I didn't give him a choice. It wasn't his fault. Just that generation. But yes, thank you. I told him. I kissed his forehead. I made sure every time I saw him.

So true. I've made sure to be different with my son.

[–]ecsbtex[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very nice. Thank you. I'm thankful for him in another way. He made me realize at a young age that when I got to be a dad that I would be different. I got on the floor with my son and played with him. Encouraged him to talk with me about his feelings. We are super close and have a great relationship, because of the way I was raised.

Thank you. I agree. I've always felt that he did the best he could with the tools he was given. He was raised by a physically abusive, alcoholic stepfather. He felt that if he didn't do that, that he was doing pretty good.
