Spam.....Love it fried and i cant find it at the store......Is there a real Spam shortage, Did they (The Hawaiians) buy it all up, Did Hormel loose the recipe or is this some ploy by the Government cause a shortage to drive up the price of pork futures right before the mid term elections? Or is this only a Red State issue? WTF

Heater in my car doesn't work.
Perspective: coldest it ever gets in Brisbane is about 8 C (46 F), for about 2 weeks per year.

Starbucks at Hilton Union Square is more expensive than Starbucks Disneyland. Why can't they be like McDonalds? Same price across all of US.

And btw, on that flight above there was some actor sitting in 2A. I thought he might be worth a selfie but I was so embarrassed that I didn't remember his name or what he was in, that I didn't accost him. I think he should have a name badge - that would be appropriate imho. I mean, I had to Google what's filming in Toronto to figure it out & that took me like 5 minutes.

I had to spend the whole weekend cleaning out the garage. I had to give away or donate a bunch of material things that I didn't need or use just so that I have room for our motorcycles and the antique Thunderbird from my grandfather that will be only be driven for pleasure on nice days.

Thank God it gets 10 or 12 miles per gallon, otherwise I wouldn't be able to put fuel in it.

I quoted you guys today. My buddy Bob, special ordered a new Mercedes SL. He drove to Ohio today to pick it up, and when he got there, he did not like how the leather looked against the other interior bits. He backed out on the deal, and they held his $1500.00 deposit.
He was belly aching about it and I told him " first world problems brother , first world problems"

The Megan coil overs I installed on my Miata are kinda harsh... at 80mph the freeway seams really shake the car. That and the Bluetooth music streaming on the Alpine stereo I installed doesn't work all the time.

Haha, you should try a SBUX in Russia some time... $12 for an Americano.

I've been moping since I sold my 911s a while back, and I recently got a call from an old friend who wants to sell me his. The problem ? I'm kind of torn up about why he has to sell it.

You think you have problems until a cold wind blows in the door, and you realize how lucky you have it.

"First World" Problems

It bugs me that people eat animals too - mostly because it's so stupidly inefficient from a nutritional standpoint. We could feed a lot more of the world's population on a vegetarian diet but whatever - we've got the system and the conventions we have and people have the right to do what they want, although I kinda wish we were more humane and less barbaric / boorish about it. As a disclaimer I've been vegetarian for about 25 years and credit it for being in as good of health as I am (once upon a time I had some not-so-insignificant health issues).

Eat what you will. Enjoy the good fortune we have to live in a first world nation. Try to preserve it. Be happy.

I think it's such a PITA sometimes trying to deal with the problems I do and realize I've got it pretty good. Should I drive the Porsche or Mercedes today? (Most humans don't have a car). What house project should I work on? (A lot of people don't own their own place). Should I leave my good-paying, stable job and take one in a warmer climate like Florida or Texas or Hawaii or overseas? (A lot of people are unemployed or underemployed). I grumble about my student loan payments (most humans don't have nearly the education I do - even if it cost a lot). I get upset at seeing so much of the world being persecuted by religious zealots - we're fortunate to not have to live under such oppression.

We're very lucky overall. Damn lucky. Things to ponder as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches.

To circle back - I'll throw out the following quote for ponderance:

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." —Albert Einstein

Anyone who thinks this thread is useless, as two pages think. But it isn't me, I don't even know how

Damn Jeff your post has so many points to be argued, (not my me as I agree with them), but what fun a debate, haha, there could be.
