What my wife thinks about you...

And saving up for a sensible car.

My wife knows about it, and some of the interesting topics are discussed at the dinner table.

My mom even checks in occasionally.

Isn't standard procedure to google 4-5 pages deep first then ask GRM?... or the other way around?

I don't think I have found anything useful from google searching after the 2nd page in YEARS. I feel I used to dig 5+ pages and would still get relevant stuff.

When in doubt, GRM it. Speaking of... I need to make a thread. BRB...

so, GRM is the new Google

BB? like in Bulletin Board? HA! Do you sit on a davenport, too? Probably with an afghan over your knees.

I kid! I just call this place a forum.

'Well... He bought the white truck, then he took it on a roadtrip.' 'He left from your house on a roadtrip? Where to?' 'Albuquerque.' 'Is everyone on that site insane?' '...'

that got me laughing

The bad part about this is, I had to think about why this would be why they would think we are all insane.

That reminds me of a joke my wife told me: Where's the best place to hide the bodies? Page-2 of Google search results.

I'm just glad your wife thinks about me.

Every Google search I do come up with 15 Grassroots links, and then something else, why would I go anywhere else.

Besides the answers here are actually intelligent.

I think my wife is jealous of GRM

Around here y'all are referred to as "The GRM". Like y'all are a supercomputer or a hive-mind or something.

Hmmmm that brings up an interesting question.... how badly would GRM beat Watson in Jeopardy?

Not so sure, we seem to have 4 answers to everything: Miata, Volvo, P71 and LSx

Nooooooooh, LSx powered Watson FTMFW

all this is better than the opposite.

I usually start "I read somewhere on the internet the other day.."

At which my wife interrupts "Grassroots?"

And I pause and say "...yeah."

I do often start sentences with "Well, this guy on Grassroots said...." like it's gospel.

ARE YOU ACCUSING ME OF OFFERING USEFUL ADVICE OR PRACTICAL INSIGHTS?!?! You take that back.

The hell is wrong with you. The bread isle isn't isle four. They put the bakery at the front where you have to walk through it. Brad goes in bakery area. Haven't you ever taken psychology?

I thought Brad was banned from the store.

I still don't know why spouses or girlfriends think we talk about cars. I come to GRM for answers to all my tech support, tax law, and fashion questions.

I've referred to you as my GRM friends to my "live" friends.

Makes me hate when you change your avatar. Its like changing your face.
