re: You ever accidentally tried to accidentally enter the wrong vehicle?
Posted by ronniep1 on 8/20/26 at 1:40 pm to muttenstein
I did this once. On the day I brought home my daughter's first car, I stopped to get some lunch. Because the restaurant was understaffed and/or had terrible service, I waited too long, got pissed and left without placing an order. I walked into the parking lot, still angry, and not totally familiar with my daughter's car, and got into another vehicle that was the same color. It was only when I looked at the dashboard, and tried to use the key, that I realized I was in the wrong car. Luckily that car was empty, so except for being embarrassed, I "got away with it."
A Quick Way To Pay Down/Pay Off The $40 Trillion National Debt
Posted by ronniep1 on 8/20/26 at 1:31 pm
Per Google, the United States population is currently estimated to be 342.6 million people.
So if each man, woman, and child will remit $116,755 to the US Treasury Department, we can temporarily erase the debt.
Thank you for your prompt attention and payment!

Should Billy Gibbons Retire The Name ZZ Top?
Posted by ronniep1 on 8/19/26 at 6:36 pm
If Mr Gibbons wants to continue performing the band's songs as a solo artist, it is his decision to make.
But as ZZ Top was only a 3 person band, and 2 of the 3 are deceased, it seems disingenuous to continue presenting himself and 2 fill-ins as ZZ Top.
Just one person's opinion . . .

If it has been sitting for 4 years, wouldn't the gas be practically sludge? Rather than using a fuel additive, I'd suggest draining the tank, "rinse" or clean it with appropriate chemicals, and fill it with fresh gas.

Had this woman been born in a different (earlier) era, she could have had a job for life in a circus as one of the sideshow "attractions."
2026 Culture/Society Applied To 1970's TV Shows
Posted by ronniep1 on 8/16/26 at 1:58 pm
I admit that my brain can sometimes take me down previously uncharted (and odd/strange) paths, so with that said:
On The Brady Bunch, Mike Brady adopted Carol's 3 daughters and they all took the Brady last name. Why? Was Carol's (presumably dead) first husband an a-hole? Why didn't the girls keep their original last name to honor and remember their bio dad? At a minimum, you'd think Marcia and Jan had memories of bio dad, so why were they so eager and quick to bury his memory and existence? And what about the girls paternal grandparents and aunts/uncles? Why did they never visit or make an appearance?
Which other old shows might be radically different if they were rewritten to match current culture, views, or expectations?

It doesn't matter who this is, or was. As Huey Lewis sang in the 80's, sometimes bad is bad.

The fake fur on Trick's belt reminds me of those gross fuzzy toilet seat covers some people used in the 60's or 70's.
re: Newly developed enzyme can reverse skin age from 70+ years to 31 years
Posted by ronniep1 on 7/30/26 at 8:38 pm to hawgfaninc
I'm 66, and in the past year or so, I've noticed that my skin has aged or deteriorated quite a bit. The skin on the underside of my arms, for example, look like crepe paper, and I get scratches, scrapes, and surface cuts easier because my skin seems thinner than it was just a few years ago.
If a topical cream is developed that can restore my skin and reverse these conditions, Hell Yes I want the option of considering it and maybe giving it a try. Maybe I'm vain, but if I can look better or younger for a reasonable price, and reduce my susceptibility to cuts and scratches, why not?

Time To Bring Back Movie Intermissions?
Posted by ronniep1 on 7/28/26 at 2:26 pm
Maybe an older person can/will correct me, but didn't older "epic story" movies like The Ten Commandments, Ben Hur, and others have an intermission so patrons could go to the bathroom or buy concessions?
If yes, for a movie like The Odyssey, at 2 hours, 55 minutes, is it time to bring back this practice? Wife and I saw it yesterday, and using an app named RunPee, we knew when it was safe to duck out for a quick pee break. However, wouldn't it be easier to build in a definitive break so that everyone could/would come back at the same point in the story?
I would be grateful for a defined and uniform break, but maybe I'm in the minority. What do you guys think? FWIW, I'd only add an intermission for movies that are longer than 2.5 hours. But again, maybe others have other ideas regarding when to use, or not use, an intermission in films.

re: Maybe I am old school or others are spoiled: tv sizes
Posted by ronniep1 on 7/14/26 at 8:46 pm to muttenstein
I have a 75" Sony TV, and I love it. If or when it dies, I hope to get an 85, but that will be the absolute largest that might fit in the space I've alloted for a TV in my living room. Anything larger would impinge on a nearby doorway into my hall.
Though this may be a redneck or trashy opinion, within the limitations of your room or alloted space, bigger is always better.

If Rusev would be released tomorrow, I wouldn't miss him. Ultimately, he's just another mid-card jobber.
If I watch it at all, it will be on Netflix or Amazon Prime. But as of now, even that is unlikely.

Does Calcasieu Parish report moving violations to the Office of Motor Vehicles, therefore adding it to your driving record?
Some parishes and small towns don't, and if that is the case, pay your $200-ish dollar fine and walk away otherwise unscathed.

re: Will you make it to America 300?
Posted by ronniep1 on 7/5/26 at 9:22 pm to The Truth 34
If I do make it to 300, I will be a few weeks shy of turning 116, so I think it is a safe to say, "No; I won't be there."
My grandsons, though, should be 62, 60, and 58 ( with 59 being a few months away), so for them, assuming we still have a recognizable country, I hope they get to share the day with their grandkids.

Dutton Ranch Season Finale (No Spoilers In Case Someone Still Hasn't Watched)
Posted by ronniep1 on 7/5/26 at 9:12 pm
Given Beth and Rip's characters, as well as what we came to expect on Yellowstone, I shouldn't have been surprised, yet I was.
Several very contentious scenarios were set up that should make for some compelling TV next season.
I do have one question that I hope is appropriately vague: near the end of the episode, was Rip at the burial site of his diseased cattle, or was it the 10 Petal, Beulah's ranch? It was dark, and somewhat indistinguishable.
