I bought a RAM truck once.....thats a public record. that isn't so bad , at least you only did it once I wasn't as fast of a learner and bought a second Dodge caravan i had had a 1998 and then bought a 2012 , I figured they had 14 years to figure out what they did wrong the first time nope they found all new ways to do it wrong
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I told you guys about this a long time ago.
I found a grinner In my shop. Well It was tucked up In one of my shelves so I couldn't get to It. So I got out the 22 single six and shot It. I figured 2 shots would be better then one and I missed the second one. Got the grinner down and noticed this hole in the dry wall. Went outside a sure enough there was a exit hole In the siding.Looked to my left and sure enough I had taken out the bedroom window. Went Inside and there was a hole through the closet door. It cost me $90.00 to have that window pane replaced.

I have done many dumb things over the years. One recent one that comes to mind was: I have a number of black shoes. One morning I went to work with black shoes and didn't realize until I was at work that I had two different type of black shoes on. One was a penny loafer, the other was a different type of slip on. Funny thing nobody seemed to even notice. At least they never said anything if they did.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

As a young single man I went camping on an abandoned beach on the Costa Rican Carribbean. On the bus ride there two beautiful Norwegian gals didn't have the proper change for the bus ride so as a gentleman I paid it for them. Just a couple of dollars.
I didn't have a tent or sleeping bag they noticed (which they did) so as we hiked in to the beach they asked if I would like to stay in their two-man pup tent with them.
.................I said Nah, that's OK I'll be fine. I figured they were just being nice since I paid their bus fare.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Many years ago I used gasoline to start a fire in my fireplace. We had glass doors on the fireplace and my intention was to close the doors after I lit the fire, there was a big poof and I did the only backward summersault of my life.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I voted for a Democrat...more than once. I appreciate your courage in sharing that with the group. Major step forward in the healing process.
