Wives? Dang, I only have one. Guess we can't visit. Remi got Utah and Washington mixed up, forgive him. And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

You just stay in urban AZ. Whenever I hear a bike with LOUD pipes I want to swerve my car into them and shove them into the nearest tree, not that I would ever do that, but I'd sure like to. p.s. I've been riding bikes for 40 years. I'm sorry you feel that way. The bike came that way, and I don't go out of my way to rev my engine more I have to, but I do like the fact that people can hear me...as in it makes me noticeable, as in less likely be invisible if they decide to change lanes on a whim.

I'm a young'n and I just started riding! Check out my beautiful (new to me) 2008 Harley Nightster!! I love this thing! It has Samson pipes on it, which make it LOUD!! Nice to know that if people can't see me, they sure can hear me

Wow, I'm actually surprised that, of the people that voted, more manuals than automatics are used. Manuals are fun, but I too agree with Andy, they are a PITA in stop and go traffic. I'm glad I don't live in a congested city, otherwise my tibialis anterior muscle (the clutch leg muscle) would always be sore And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant.

I just learned to ride a motorcycle and got my M Class this summer. I thought learning was tough! I remember thinking, "okay, first gear is down, second gear is up, don't forget, don't kill it, don't kill it, don't kill it!"

Nice! I bought a manual as well, and I love mine. When you get in an automatic, do you subconsciously do the 'phantom stick shift' by waving your right hand in the middle trying to find the stick? The story that started this inquiry: An American-born friend of mine (who is female) moved to England and started dating an English guy. She (being a stick-shift girl) was excited to impress her new beau because she said not many females drive sticks. She later found out that in Europe, all or almost all cars are sticks, so she realized her stick shift driving ability wasn't that impressive after all So my bf and I got to wondering what the demographics were for males and females and sticks and automatics.

This is a highly scientific poll...now I know several people have both, but please vote on your main vehicle, i.e., the vehicle you chose, or the one you drive most of the time. Any maybe state WHY you prefer one over the other

I don't have cats (but I do have two dogs), but these stories make me want to start crying...I can't even begin to think about the end of our dogs' lives without tearing up. Hopefully your kitties live happily as long as possible

Alright, theres a ton of people here shitting on Reno, but I gotta speak up for it as its my hometown, and having just moved from Reno, I miss it a ton. Although you may be 3 hours away from a DZ, there is a steady skydiving group that carpools a lot to the Cali DZs. Not to mention the Lake Tahoe helicopter lake loads that you can get in on by being a local. NV has epic wide open spaces for road biking and many awesome trails for mountain biking and running....I hiked and biked a different trail each time I went to the hills to get exercise. Lake Tahoe is 30 mins away and is a gem of a place during all four seasons. It's got some of the best skiing in the country during the winter and hiking, biking, camping, boating, festivals and beaches in the summer. I love NV and the Reno area because its NOT California...its not nearly as congested and polluted as CA and there is no state income tax. Granted, NV, or any other state, is not to every persons liking, but I LOVED Reno and look forward to moving back someday.

That's nice that you have never had to be unemployed for more than 3 weeks...do you want a cookie? Here's the problem to your statement of not wanting to take certain 'prideless' jobs- even educated, experienced people aren't even getting those jobs because they do not have a background for that specific job. I just graduated with my Master's degree in biology, and am in a similar niche as the OP. My experience is solely scientific research. I've been unemployed for four months even though I've probably applied to, I don't know, every single job opening in my area that aligns with my expertise. On top of that, I just moved to a new state where I have very few contacts. I've also applied to secretarial, clerical, government and administrative positions (read: minimum wage jobs), but get the same response- I don't have the secretarial, clerical, administrative experience to even be competitive. So, even though one is willing to take a job that underemploys them, many times they won't even be considered. Food for thought. sorry but I don't feel sorry for someone that limits their opertunities. cut grass, wait tables, learn to pack at the dz. there are jobs, maybe ones you don't like but there are jobs. I never asked for your pity, and I don't want it-I'm just stating the fact that it's easy for someone like you that has a job and armchair quarterbacks by saying it's the unemployed peoples' fault that they don't have jobs. And LIMITING my opportunities?? I, like many others, am going back to school in something completely different so I have a better chance at having a career.

I should clarify...I was in really bad form from this last night.. This is one of the apparent side effects from CO2, and the doc warned me of it. Just seems I was on the extreme spectrum of shoulder and breathing pain. Also just wondering if anybody who has experienced this has found some ways to make it hurt less until it dissipates.

Has anybody had this? I just had surgery this morning and the gas used to inflate my abdomen is KILLING my phrenic nerve causing severe shoulder pain and breathing difficulty... Anything other than hot pads and drugs I can do to alleviate the pain? I can't even cry because it hurts so bad to breathe.

The reason physicians don't want to sterilize women in their 20's is because many times 'baby wanting' hormone fluxes don't often occur until you hit your 30's. You can't possibly know, at 25, how you will react to your countdown clock in the future. That said, why don't you try a non-permanent route like Mirena? It lasts for five years and the commitment is not there like it is with essure or a tubal. I got one about three months ago. Which means, when I'm 32, it will be time for A. another Mirena; or B. Essure (which I'm leaning to myself). And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

Actually, it seems there are more women than ever NOT wanting kids. Sure, the majority of women want and will have kids, but there are also a lot more women in recent times that are choosing not to have kids, and these women are tending to be highly educated and make good money. I just graduated with my masters and there are several women in my graduate school cohort I know personally that aren't having kids. Ya, if he married a complete bitch and she wants to spite her guy, but this is generally not true. Maybe you just need to start hanging out with nicer, more mature couples to see that that is not true. Wanting kids is an inherent, biological longing, that a girl doesn't really have control over. And for the record: the appropriate ranking of cool modes of transportation is jet pack, hover board, transporter, Batmobile, and THEN giant ant. D.S. #8.8

I think it depends on the girl on how she will see a guy who doesn't want kids. I was even more attracted to my boyfriend when he said he didn't want kids, because I, also, have never wanted kids. If a girl really wants them, she will likely feel turned off by said guy.
