    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    It's the worst, when we go down to visit our youngest son, we have to go all the way downtown, and then loop back up by the fairgrounds. We try to get downtown and then get off the interstate, because its a zoo down there, the side streets are not to bad, but the interstates in that area of...

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    In Dallas they have U turn lanes at most traffic lights. It can be kind of confusing as the far left lane is for U turns, and then the 2nd lane to the left is for turning left.

    We are multitasking here. Come for one thing, leave with something else.

    Crappy cell phone service

    I know quite a few people in their late 50s to early 60s that would retire today, but they cannot afford too because of their health insurance. I was speaking with a classmate over the 4th weekend, I taught with his wife a couple of years, and he said they were paying $2200 a month for...

    Crappy cell phone service

    Lots of older baby boomers are defined by what they did for a job. They lived to work, not worked to live. The younger BB are more of those that have the idea, I worked for 35 to 40 years, now I am going to enjoy the time I have left and in decent health. I try to accomplish one or two things...

    Crappy cell phone service

    I can't speak for those that are jobless or can't find suitable work, but retirement is the best thing I have ever done. It's great getting up every morning after sleeping in till seven and doing whatever I want to do the rest of the day. Lot less stress in my life after retiring,

    That is a great question, tipping is one of those things that some people believe you always tip, while I tend to think in this case, you get a few bucks. With 12 people they most likely added a service charge already.

    Crap like that gets you a bare minimum tip, if they cannot come over and provide you with a service, then they are not getting 15 to 20% for a tip.

    We switched from US Cellular to Verizon last month, could not be happier about the switch over. US Cellular is great in the southern part of the state, but horrible in the rest of it.

    High School Sports Thread

    What was wrong with the way they used to do it, where if you won your first game, the worst you could finish would be 4th, and if you lost your first game the best you could do is 5th. Everyone played three games, and you just had a winners bracket and a loser brackets. Not ripping on Grand...

    Maybe but look at Cardinal, they came in as the 8th seed in 2A, upset the #1 seed Grand View and their reward is playing them again after losing their 2nd game for their 3rd game. Just drop the first round losers into the bottom of the bracket and bring up the losers from the bottom to the...

    Driving rant: PLEASE stop this!!

    You really have to practice defensive driving skills these days. Stopped at a red light, do not just fly through when it turns green, wait a split second to make sure that someone is not running the light from another lane. It's very easy to get sloppy while driving and forget that for most...

    Ft. Dodge has spent a lot of money upgrading the facilities, I think there was rumors that the girls union was looking at a more centrally located setup in Ames or Des Moines and Ft. Dodge decided if they wanted to keep the tournament they were going to have to spend some money on the complex...

    Looking at the girls tournament there has to be a better way to set up a double elimination tournament. In 2A, Cardinal was the 8th seed, played and beat the #1 seed Grand View. So Cardinal moves on to play #4 seed IC Regina, which they lose. Now they get to play Grand View again in the...

    Thinking about moving out of Iowa

    Large parts of Iowa are very cliquish, my wife and I lived in Bloomfield for 33 years, and there were times we still felt like outsiders because we did not go to high school there, so we were never part of the townie group. But our kids which all graduated from HS there, are part of that group.
