1. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again. (Seriously, how will I do without all of my DVDs and CDs and itunes and this after I finally gave away the vinyl, 8-track, etc?)
  2. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. (The same goes for thirst and hunger.)
  3. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said? (My aunts taught me this one just recently, smile, smile and more smiles.)
  4. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters! (Okay, sometimes I don't feel the milk of human kindness pumping through my veins - back off bastard, I have the lane!)
  5. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important. (Sorry for the man observation, I am still missing the milk of human kindness.)

1) I have stopped before Blue Ray. Regular DVDs is as far as I've gone and am willing to go. I'm out of this race.

2) Well, I'm a real estate agent, I get bored, but since there's no food in the house, hunger is a moot point.

3) I guess that depends on how important you feel it is to understand what the person is trying to tell you.

4)Yes, but unfortunately there's usually a "weakest link" in the line who relents and lets the transgressors in.

5) I dunno, maybe Albert Einstein or Stepehn Hawking could answer why that is.

Pat and Steve.  I love these and think whoever created them has a real eye on what is happening.   

John:  Sad, isn't it?

Malcolm:  Someone always buckles and lets that person and (and when it is me trying to merge into a lane I am ever so grateful.).  I have the DVDs with the blue ray option but have no way to use it so...  we must have stopped at the same time.  Last year we got a PVR and I was stunned at what a person can do to tape   (I guess the real work is record) shows.  Then the pressure is on to actually watch them all.

Valerie~ The editorial comments are what truly make this post so much fun! I completely agree with #1.  I still have some cassettes and vinyl.  Not sure why.

Valerie,  I just love your blog, editorial comments most especially!  I am with you about the people who try to cut into my darned lane!  I thought this was just Silicon Valley upstarts thinking they are entitled!

Donna:  I bet you can find a walkman somewhere in the house - I know I have one that I used when I went for a long time on the treadmill.  Those tapes can now go in the museum of technology that I no longer visit.

Marge:  It is so revealing to let you know that I almost ride the bumper in the car in front so no one has an inch to wedge themselves in the lane.  Sad but hey, I started in that lane 25 minutes ago and have been good.  Don't I own the lane?  It sure feels like it after being stopped and slowed down in that lane because of people who cut in.

Now that you mention it, I do have a walkman!  It's taxicab yellow.  I need to drag it out.  I'm sure I could use it for a costume next Halloween.  I could be stuck in some time of time warp.  What do you think?

Donna:  I could send you mine?  It would be funny because people of our generation would know what it is and also have one somewhere in a box in the basement.  Boy, when I compare the walkman to the ipod....
