Laurel Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 For days I have been thinking our C-Max, Tip, was stinking to high heaven. Couldn't find any source so then I blamed the smell on our elderly dog Tinker. I washed her car bedding and gave her a bath. She had a routine vet visit this morning and I told her vet how she might be stinking up the car. She smelled fine to the vet. Got home and was watering the garden in my Nike Comfort thongs that I have lived in for the past few months. Got some grass on them and lifted them up close to my face and holy smokes it was the thongs! I googled and there are a zillion complaints about how they stink and you can't get the smell out. So every time I was driving in the confined car I was smelling my feet LOL. So I am relieved to report that my C-Max doesn't stink--nor does poor little Tinker. Don't buy any Nike Comfort thongs or you will live to regret it. asb and pnwAl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Kind of embarrassing eh Jaz? My vet will have a good laugh when I tell her it wasn't the car or the dog. Edited May 9, 2013 by Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grggwlkr Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'm confused? What do feet and thongs have to do with each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Okay I'll bite grggwlkr--just in case I used a Canadian word for what some call flip flops. I hadn't thought that some would think I was talking about lingerie thong versus shoe thongs. Gross thought--gee maybe I should edit that first post. Anyway I am talking about sandal thongs that you wear on your feet LOL. I think you are teasing n'est pas?

Laurel Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Armoredsaint that brings back memories. I haven't seen bagged milk in a few years--wonder what happened to it? It sure was a pain in the butt. We're back to regular milk cartons, but my favourite way to buy milk is in the old fashioned bottles. However it is almost twice the price.

StoBro2 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Do you still have flashing green traffic lights in Canada? The first time I drove up there I had no idea they mean the same thing as a steady green left turn arrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I drove up there I had no idea they mean the same thing as a steady green left turn arrow!Nope they are gone too--at least in western Canada. You know what freaks me out in the States are the u turns everyone makes--especially at intersections. We don't have that here. It is very restricted where a u turn can happen around here. I see the odd car with Washington plates making one at an intersection and I watch in awe LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree63 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Bags of milk are going strong in Ontario (central Canada). The cows like it and apparently produce more - milk not stinky methane. Flashing "advanced-go" greens are out, intersection uturns are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thongs! Hahahaha I will have to google Nike thongs now. Don't let 'em kid you Laurel. I have a pair of Nike flip flops and sometimes I slip and call them thongs...........because that's what they were called back in the my day.

In Arizona it's legal to do a U-turn in an intersection (unless it's posted not to). In New Mexico you couldn't (or at least you couldn't last time I checked.) It can get a little confusing because each state does things a little different. Here in Phoenix Metro each city does things a little different too. Most cities put the green protected arrow before the normal green light. In Scottsdale, it's the opposite. Some cities have flashing yellow left-turn arrows, while others just have a green light, both meaning the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roninsd Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 In California, it used to be that you could not make a U-turn unless there was a sign saying you could; now it's the opposite: if there's no sign preventing it, you can do a Uey.

The local cops luv the illegal uturn drivers, especially those in a business district in the middle of street...nice money spinner for the city :finger: Jus sayin ;) Edited May 13, 2013 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roninsd Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Hey Jus, I was just following the info in the CA driver's handbook (pg. 38), thinking mainly of intersections: "You may make a legal U-Turn: Across a double yellow line, when it is safe and legal. In a residential district: if there are no vehicles approaching you within 200 feet. whenever a traffic sign, light, or signal protects you from approaching vehicles. At an intersection on a green light or green arrow, unless a "no U-Turn" sign is posted...." Jest sayin' :yahoo: BTW: Just jumped a whole .2 mpg this fillup. I'm catching up!
