Bloody right and all...

Every sports car I have owned has been a manual. Our Cobra is a manual. There is just something about shifting gears in a sports car that adds to it.

In the "you win some, you lose some" category: Next Saturday, Talize will have 50% off all bottoms in-store. I just bought pants
yesterday but my trade-off would have been not seeing them next time if I waited for a sale (the daily store specials did not include bottoms).

Thank you Natalka, lecale and save for your kind words.

Made a cheese cake today, spent 4 hours total. I set my standards so high. It came out so cracked. I made sure everything was room temp looks like shet

^ I made chocolate truffle in half batches using my Lindt. One of them was yucky. I wonder what the heck I did because I rarely find chocolate yucky...waste my time and precious chocolate!

I keep forgetting to take my meds and I hate it. I wish to have it end asap because I CANNOT TAKE IT any damn it! But I can't

Also driving manual takes more of a brain than just shifting to drive and sipping on your coffee. Well of course people that have problems with coordination and being organized will find it daunting.

Only until you get used to driving though. Once you are in that mindset, it's easy. I learnt in a stick-shift and commuted 80km every day for over 10 yrs in a combination of rural, town and highway driving..

I f I went back, it would take a few hours to get used to driving one again..and being on the correct side of the road....

Subject to change without notice can kick rocks!!

Koodo plans apparently changed. My plan now is worthless to what they have now. Ugh. Know what I'll be doing Tuesday morning.

I still drive stick shift, and the only culture shock for me at first was the wide open roads and multiple lanes. I have been coming to North America from a younger age, and made myself acquainted with the driving on the other side of the road long time ago.

I have eggs allergy now. (start noticing it a few years ago but now it's full blown, sent me straight to bathroom after consuming eggs EVERY time).

I rarely eat meat or fish...was counting on eating eggs 2-3 times per week but now I can't. I have lactose intolerant and IBS too.

I've been trying to persuade Mr P to buy me a 1960's MGB for $12k which I saw up for sale recently...

Sounds like me - lactose intolerant, eggs ( I can eat one a week) - also be careful with the allergy shot if you take it - last time I had the flu shot I was in the hospital - egg allergy and flu shot don't mix. Plus I have IBS with D but now since I am on certain vitamins I am IBS with C and gluten sensitive so a tiny bit of gluten sends me to the bathroom throwing up now.

Isn't allergies fun...meh - best thing I did was for a month do a food diary and you can control it.

Errrrr...you know what they say, "if you really want something done, do it yourself". I'll like an Aston Martin, but nobody is going to buy it for me just because
