    Really? Maybe ours is broken. It's kind of infamous for leading you on wild goose chases into the middle of nowhere.

      Re: THE RANT THREAD!

      Sacrificed my weekend in order to get a weekend off (so I worked 8 days in a row to get a specific 2 days off), so we could go to a much-needed BBQ. Took a lot of favors and begging to get those 2 days off in the first place. And then the bbq gets cancelled. -.- fml Now I'm too tired to even enjoy my weekend free.

        This may sound really odd but THAT is the kind of nav that I'd actually pay money for.

        I don't need, or want, to find places, or to keep me from getting lost. What I really need is one that can actually GET me lost. I love those kinds of road trips and have been totally unsuccessful at them, in more than half a dozen states, including MN (of course), WI, ND, SD, IA, MO, NE, KS, IN, IL...

        I used to have a bumper sticker, many years ago, that said "Destination Unknown", which described my type of driving style, perfectly. Pick a direction, and go. Come to an intersection, pick a direction, and go. Rinse and repeat, for several hours. I still can't get lost.

        Blindfold me, drive for 10 hours, take the blind fold off and put me behind the wheel. Still very good odds that I can get back to the starting point in significantly less than 11 hours. It sucks! Why can't I just go for a drive and get friggen LOST?!

            Real navigation is done with a sextant and an astrolabe.
            Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

              Well, in this case, I was driving alone and it was nighttime, so it would've been pretty difficult to follow a map.

                I have never been across the way
                Seen the desert and the birds
                You cut your hair short
                Like a shush to an insult
                The world had been yelling
                Since the day you were born
                Revolting with anger
                While it smiled like it was cute
                That everything was shit.

                  Real men NEVER ask for directions. My GPS, Bambi, tells me where to go.

                  My daughter wonders why men always give their GPS stripper names...

                  I'm considering the possibility of recording erotic directions - "OK big boy, head your menhood west..."

                  ...but I have to find the right voice...

                  Any takers?
                  Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                      Unless there's tits, I'm not interested, except as an intellectual exercise.

                            My laptop just automatically switched windows 8 to 8.1. Baaah! I hate that... Now I have to adapt again...
                            But I guess there are some good things in it...

                              Did yours boot you off the internet for 2 days like mine did? I had to call in tech support (i.e. my husband), he spent a day and almost re-installed windows 7... before we figured out that changing the actual name of our wifi anchor fixes the issue. Now my computer is set to manual updates only. Stupid 8.1.

                              My weekend bbq was cancelled that I had been looking forward to for 2 weeks, and now I'm feeling ill. I can't tell if I picked up a bug at work, if the rain got to me, or if it's just a stress illness again. Probably a combination of all 3. I'm just tired of being tired all the time. -.- Just 2 more months until we get out of this situation and start to cope with a new one (hopefully a healthier one).

                                No, but it was rebooting itself for hours and hours again. Each time installing new updates. One time the computer even had to use the latest restore point. So some of my apps disappeared and I had to reinstall those which I could find....
