I never ask for help at Wal-Mart because if you can find an employee they are too busy ignoring me to risk their ire if I disturb them.  They certainly don't bother to greet customers.  I went into Lowes Home Improvement to get a special light bulb and was spoken too twelve times and my entire shopping trip took less t...more

A 3,000 square foot kitchen is larger than many eating establishments and is far larger than most anyone would ever need, and would be time consuming to keep clean.  I don't even need a house that big.  Basically, when I was working my house was a place I slept and stored my stuff, and now that I'm retired I know that ...more

The naysayers just have to be jealous.  I had a 2001 and absolutely loved it.  If I hadn't needed a pickup truck I would have never traded it.  i retired and now only drive the pickup about two hundred miles a month but I drove the Echo 350 miles a week.

I owned an Echo and because it was small and easy to maneuver I was able to avoid accidents that would have happened if I had been in a larger car.  Granted, the small size left me more vunerable in some situations  but if it had b een a larger car I know of at least two times I would have b een in an accident.

I had a 2001 Echo with only 60,000 miles on it and it looked brand new.  I  only traded it last year because I needed a pickup truck.  I put 10 gallons of gas in it every week and drove 350 miles a week.  Not the best car for long trips but for back and forth to work and running errands about town it was great.

I put $20.00 a month into my old truck and in a couple of months I'll have a full tank of gas.  In other words, vehicles are a mode of transportation.  I do have a newer car, one about five years old with 30,000 miles on it.  Most of those miles were added taking  care of aging parents.  In other words, buy the best ...more

I worked hard, put my money aside, invested it well.  For many years I enjoyed working but when I startrd to hate the thought of working  I began thinking of retiring.  When all my thoughts were about what I could do for others if I didn't have to work I decided it was time to go.  Now, there just isn't enlugh time to ...more

Odd.  Are you positive these were accidents or are they a planned conspiracy?
