I am as guilty as anybody. I'm hoping this thread can be a place where all the tangential off topic rabbit trails can have a place.

In other words there is no topic. Rather than pulling the vapemail or handcheck threads for instance, into two pages of discussion that aren't about what we got in the mail or what the present handcheck is, pop that discussion over here instead. If it starts getting involved over there.

Just as an idea and maybe a dumb one. Many discussion neither require their own thread nor belong where they are. Or so it seems to me anyway.

I'll start. @c.diehl
Please lemme know what you think of that Reewape RBA.

See now that conversation started in the vapemail thread. It seemed to me not to be best to ask that question there, but also that that product doesn't need it's own thread either.

In other other words, all manner of off topic clutter is welcome here without folks stepping on each other in more specific threads. Stepping on each other is fine in this one.,

today was all about tacos, but then it is Thursday and Taco Thursday doesn’t have the same ring as Taco Tuesday.

Remember you don’t eat tacos anymore, or carbs...been 6months as such...5 stones..few pebbles...woot!

Wiggled the hybrid, bananas and verity subdued, Oranges? Nope...fruits = sugar and sugar is the devil Bobby!

Coffee it is...oh the love...me and you coffee! Inner voice...”lady in red is playing” and man that coffee. “Just you and me! And nowhere I’d rather be”.... never forget the way you looked...right as I drank you...you’re amazing

Belligerent...escort, legislators...DRAGONS! TV channel swaps...

Multiple repeats... aha!

Music, wife...song blaring...”Are you better off Alone” talk to me...oooh...talk to me....facepalm

Soft focus glow drops? Fab fit fun, iPad sucks in landscape for typing...


TANGENTS!

I only read it once. I’m glad you got it. The keto references made sense, though. :teehee:

Just typing what I Read, saw, heard, thought in a span of a few mins is all.


There was a Taco commercial on the TV going, and my thoughts were how awesome to have taco would be, but being Keto for the past 6 months and losing over 70lbs and how I miss fruit and fruit being sugar, which I also gave up... I fall back to my favorite... coffee.

Lady In Red was playing on Soundcloud as the wife was getting ready... and I reached over and grabbed a sip of coffee as it was playing ;)

Then the taco commercial ended and it was back to the Impeachment of Trump on the News, hence the belligerent yapping , swap the channels, some cartoon of dragons, some random nonsense of someone and an escort being busted... another channel same same of the Impeachment aka Multiple repeats...


Then back to looking at the wife, the song on soundcloud changed to Alice Deejay "Are you better off alone"... which is not even in my wheel house of music, and why the facepalm lol

Then typing the obvious of so many tangents in a span of 4 mins ;) Which many of us do, just seems oddly weird when typed out, but completely normal when not thinking directly of them...

Then of course, coffee... ;)

The Nectar of the Gods haha

I'm bummed out, big time. I"m finally coming home, next July, after 22 years. Vaping was legalized here in April and now it's becoming illegal in the US. That sucks. I think I'll order a shit load of nic from the US and have it shipped to my sister and she'll hold it for me. And I"m going to Atlanta...that bums me out as well. Damn!

After completing an approx 3000 mile round trip (CT - So.FL- CT) I find myself bewildered. While cruising at 75 mph I was passed by a car like I was standing still. Have I entered "The Twilight Zone" ? It was a Kia Soul....:drunk:

Assuming at least part of the time you were on I-95, that is completely normal. Just pray you do not encounter Grandma in her 67 Coupe de Ville, pulling a vintage Airstream at about 80 mph, trailer swinging from side to side as she goes. She can sweep you right off the road and never even realize it.

Also 12,692 motorcycles headed for Daytona ahead of Bike Week. Fun.

Kia Soul drives a lot better than it looks. Had one from Hertz for a week one time.

The highways of the UAE are scary. High end cars are common here. It's not uncommon to be passed on both sides at once by cars doing 100+. Bad driving is common in most of the world.

It’s like when we were driving on the LIE, and I told my husband to speed up because we were being passed. He said, “ We’re almost doing 80 and the speed limit is about 60! “ Very strange. Lol

So it’s the Autobahn in the Emirates all over?

Kind of, but they do have speed cameras. The result is like a series of drag races that go on for a few kilometres at a whack.

Sounds pretty wild. I read that you’re coming back here. Can you postpone that indefinitely or at least until things settle down here? Which I hope and pray that they do!

Not a bad idea, but sometimes it's also interesting. We are all...ok most of us..are human. It's just a natural flow of conversation.

It's time to come home. I have two boys, 14 & 12. They have dual citizenship, US and UK and they identify as Americans. However, they were born and raised overseas so they really don't know what it means to be American. We've got to get them home now otherwise it'll be very difficult for them as adults to feel as if they belong somewhere. I've seen it happen a number of times with friends and colleagues over the past 20 years.

I don't things will "settle down" in the US. There's been a paradigm shift and who knows what the future will bring but it's unlikely things will go back to where they were.

"The 5" in southern California, between Irvine and San Diego. Scared me half to death. Speeds of well over 100mph not uncommon. I was doing 80 to 85 in the slow lane and still being blown off the road.

Saw Prince's Purple Rain garb during that trip, shadowboxed on a wall in the La Jolla Hard Rock Cafe. If it was a facsimile, it was well done. Loved La Jolla. The coast there is spectacular.

More people's lives are put into imminent mortal danger by idiots in cars than anything else. If it were up to me, people who drive like that would spend a few months in prison every time they pulled that shit.

55 MPH on Long Island and 50 MPH from the City Line in. 25 MPH with Speed Cameras on all major roads. Thanks to that ID-10-T Mayor.

I don’t drive but that day we were doing 78 going to the res in Shirley. It seemed slow to me and everyone was passing us.

But it was about four years ago, maybe five, now that I think about it.

I think everyone should have to pass the driving tests every 10 years or lose their licence.
And when caught DUI the car being driven is impounded for 6 mos.
Not the drivers car? Well the owner should be more careful who they loan it to.
Driving a rental car? Banned from rental cars for life.

Going down I-25 from Ft. Collins to Denver at midnight on a Saturday night a year ago. I never been so scared in my life on a highway. Bumper to bumper in all lanes and all moving at least 80 mph. I hadn't been on that highway for 25 years. I'll be damned if I ever do it again.

I was in a taxi once coming down the Annapurnas at night. The driver didn't put on his headlights. I asked my guide why not. He asked the driver and then told me he said the lights use too much petrol. I told him to either put them on or let me out of the damn taxi. He begrudgingly did so. There are some very ignorant people in this world.
