RE: Tesla’s Contactless Vehicle Service (First Impressions)
I had a similar experience with mobile service. The tech who came out was a Tesla fanatic so we talked the entire time he was rotating the tires. It's great that so many of the employees are still that

Thank you Nancy! It's horrible to be stranded. I've had my share of that in my life! I remember one particular road trip I took with my ex-wife. The entire exhaust system fell off the car about two hundred

RE: Memoir Monday: My Mother and My Sadnesses
What a great picture of you two! I'm sorry for your loss. As someone who's lived far away from my parents and sibling for three decades I can really identify with how difficult it is to leave after a visit.

She really was something! I told my wife I hope I'm that open minded and adventurous when I'm in my 80's!

That time has gone by so quickly. Thanks! Yeah, some things never change I guess. Lol. I'll be ready to record it with my phone if that noise ever returns.

RE: Mechanical vs. Quartz Watches: A Chill Breakdown
Grand Seiko's Spring Drive movements are the best of both worlds but they don't come cheap.

AI and robotics will be so easy to use that I think it'll be like second-nature. Tesla's Optimus will learn through audio, video, and tactile input just like a human. You show it how to do something once

Between The Jetsons and Star Trek they predicted so much of the future! I don't think flying cars are too far off either. I'll absolutely be placing an order for an Optimus if the price is right. The value

I'll have to search for that deodorant recipe! I found a really good brandthat I like but, like everything else now, it's SO freaking expensive. I'm sure coming up with it all on your own through trail

Amazingly, it's the exact same. The cool thing is you can tailor the essential oils to get whatever scent you'd like. The store-bought paste smells really medicinal but I think the next batch I'll use

I share you concern about a robot caring for children. I already see how too much technology has stifled the younger generations' social/communication skills. I think a much better use case for humanoid

It was a fun experiment but I don't think companies have to worry because most people don't have the time or desire to make something like this. I don't really worry too much about the connected devices

RE: Memoir Monday #46 (1/20-1/26) - What Makes You Sad?
It definitely is sad seeing an older person who has never learned their lessons or evolved in any way. One of my favorite things about the phase of life I'm in now (middle age) is being able to step back

RE: It may be a problem...
Life becomes so much better when you learn to identify those who're addicted to chaos and negativity and free yourself from their vortex of drama. It's tough to walk away at first but becomes easier. I've

Once I saw how well it worked it got me thinking about so many other things it could reverse engineer! Thanks and I wish you a wonderful week my friend.

RE: Memoir Monday #46: What Makes You Sad?
Thank you for your contribution this week Nancy! As I've grown older, I've discovered living a life of joy in spite of the sadness is really the ultimate triumph in life. We're exposed to so much more

RE: Memoir Monday #45 That women that was my mother
Thanks for this glimpse into your childhood and introduction to your Mom. That must've been a huge transition to adjust to, moving from Thailand to Canada! Looking back at our childhood days in the 1970's

RE: Superstitious (An Original Short Story)
Thank you! I appreciate it Nancy! This is one I originally wrote in 2016 or so but I did a complete rewrite yesterday and I finally feel satisfied with it. I think it could be adapted into a longer piece!
