Default So nobody has anything to say?

Okay, I'll start.

So my sister and brother in-law bought a travel trailer last year. Site on seen because their son said it was really nice and good deal. Of course the fresh water tank was removed so they can't carry fresh water. It weighs over 7,000 lbs, they have a Mini Cooper and an 02 Explorer, yes the ones that rolled over. No problem, their 'guy' that works on their vehicles says the Explorer will tow that no problem. The Explorer will move it but I and others finally convinced her that it's like the 'tail wagging the dog' towing that trailer with an Explorer. It's over 7,000 lbs before she loads it with all her stuff. Short trips, ok, cross country, not me.

The other day she tells Lynda that she saw a Ford F650 and maybe they would look for one of those? I told her good idea, she already has an extension ladder so she can get in it and they could just set the trailer on the back and not have to tow it, thing has a 26,000 lbs GVWR.

Then her son tells her to get a '99 Suburban because he can work on it, it still has the older style engines. A 14 year old truck, guaranteed he has to work on it, a lot and frequently. He only works 7 days a week and is just making it so he should have plenty of time to work on their 14 year old truck. Oh, they live in FL, he lives in TN.

She just bought a new Samsung S4 or whatever, the latest. Her old phone, same as mine but few months newer was just painfully slow. It wouldn't do anything without waiting and waiting and waiting. Mine works fine. So she tells me about her new phone and how slow the old one is and the fact that she has over TWO THOUSAND text messages saved on her phone and has never cleared the call log. She doesn't want to delete the text messages because there's lot's of pictures in there she wants to save. I told it was time to empty the garbage can and maybe it would run a little better.

I don't know where she came from, sometimes I think she was adopted.
