There were a number of posts that I felt compelled to respond to.

This one, however, went beyond those.

I've got plenty, but one of my biggest, and I've posted it here before, people collecting money on the streets. The worst is when kids are sent out on the streets to collect. Collecting for football uniforms, pom poms, etc... damn when I was a kid, it was the parents responsibility to take care of this. You have kids, you take care of them, don't ask me to, I didn't make them. What kind of values are you teaching them

Nice rant!

You seem like a nice guy.

I've also given this some thought. Frankly, all the kids are asking for is a charitable donation. Adults do this too. My pet peeve is the overpriced magazines, wrapping papers, etc that the kids are shamed in to selling to their neighbors. I grant an exemption for Girl Scout cookies and it they'd bring the lemon ones back that would be even better. This pet peeve is closely aligned with all of the "friends of the fire department" professional solicitors peeve.

I don't have many but here's a few that drive me nuts!

Lift ticket scanners
Cell phone usage on the ski lift
Base lodge table hogs
Parents taking their young children on terrain that is way over their abilities

Base lodge table hogs

Add to that people who have to leave all their crap on the tables when they're done. Jeezum.

I've been thinking about this for a couple days now. I am conflicted because I like to encourage good kids. But I don't like to see them begging. I'd love to support them in a more productive way. Carwashes, bake sales, etc.... If they really want to raise money, they can get a job and put their earnings towards their cause. I wouldn't mind matching some to a certain extent. Thing is, the kids who stand outside a bank door are not the trouble makers. The trouble makers wouldn't even consider this.

My point exactly, teach them some values(car wash, bake sales, etc..), don't teach them that if you need something, go out on the street and stick your hand out. I don't know but when I was that age, we didn't even think of doing such things and yet managed.

The lemon ones are back, if you'd like some, PM me. It would make my daughter very happy... :wink:

Look for my PM. We'll meet at a mountain somewhere for the official transaction. If she needs the money before that happens, I'll send it to you.

Subaru Drivers - whenever it snow or might snow they slow to a crawl. But boy will they spew about how good thier car is in the snow. This morning it was 25 mph behind one and when I finally got past it I got behind another doing 20 mph which slowed to 10 whenever there was a turn. But boy are they good in the snow

Maybe we should change this thread to the generalization thread.

Slow lazy bartenders at or near any ski resort. There is no excuse for having anything short of perfection in this situation, everyone in town is fighting for this job-why not give it to the most competent servers?

have you ever had head gasket issues with your subarus?

 

[dmc]

have you ever had head gasket issues with your subarus?

Only with the second on...
At around 175,000 - totally my fault.. Saw the signs - blew it off... Was racing up the NJTP at around 90mph in 0 degree weather... Radiator froze up... I gave it to a friend... He drove it around town with no problems...
!st Subaru went 190,000 before i traded it in..
2nd got around 200,000
current one has 80,000 - only issue so far was the catalytic converter but they fixed it for free..
