Should I be ashamed to say....

Since I'm commuting, I can go several days without driving. But when I do drive, I feel so fast and powerful. The funny part is that's it's a 4 cyl Ranger. No power there!

I took my '01 Ranger in for an oil change last week, the mechanic looked at it and said "how do you manage to own an almost eight year old vehicle and only have 40,000 miles on it", I said "I ride a bicycle, scooter, and motorcycle most of the time"...he replied "no, seriously, how do you get around?"

I'm having a really hard time justifying my desire to have cable TV. I don't watch much TV, but I do like to have choices. I can justify the very basic level, but then I don't get things like ESPN and DIY (This Old House!). I have rabbit ears now and only get ABC, NBC, and CBS--not even PBS. And that will all go away come February anyways.

Why do I fret over these things??

Motorcycling, and my love of motor racing.

I save up environmental points for most of the rest of my life, just so I can blow it all in the twisties...

We got the $50 ($10 after the "rebate") converter box. With our rabbit ears, we now get more channels. Might be worth trying - we're pretty much opposed to cable too

I generally don't feel guilty about too much.If you can afford it, who cares? Life is too short to feel guilty.

I'll admit to hating compact florescent light bulbs.... I'll put them in the basement, in the porch lights, but forget it, in my actual living spaces. I don't care how much they claim to have made them better the light quality s-u-c-k-s

[Tuckervill]

I'm with you, Eden. I'm not putting them in my reading lamps. I barely tolerate them in the kitchen, but that's where the light is used/needed the most. I can tell the difference in the light, and I don't like it.

If you move to the west - Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and some of Utah, trucks and suv's largely outnumber smaller vehicles. Just a different perspective. I guess we have more open air to ruin
Gas prices have changed that.
I don't like to recycle - it is a pain in the rear. We don't have sidewalk recycling - for some things it is a 20 mile drive to the recyclers. Hate it, hate it, hate it. I recycle newspaper, plastic bags, and aluminum.

My sentiments exactly!!!

I have an F150, V8 that is monstrous and gets crumby gas mileage. I love her though. I can't imagine not having her in my life.....

I tried to commute on my bike for several weeks earlier in the year. It just didn't work. The roads here are horrendous, especially the main road I have to take to get to work. So, I take comfort in the fact that it is only 5 miles (one way) to work and I don't go anywhere during lunch unless I absolutely have to.
