Well, if you ever get the "travel bug" and decide to pay us a
visit, we have 2 [indoor] bathrooms with toilets (plus a separate
toilet). And we do have running water faucets [hot/cold] and some of
them are even mixer faucets. Furthermore, there's no need to pack any
TP, because I always keep plenty of it in stock ;-)

Well, not exactly. I have a passport because I actually acknowledge the
fact that there are other civilized countries beyond our borders. And
I've even been off the continent of Africa to visit relatives who
reside in UK/Europe, no less. BTW, the USA *is* still on my list
of "must see" places because I have quite a few relatives there that I
haven't seen in over 25 years - not to mention a bunch of r.f.c.-ers
who I'd dearly like to meet in RL.


I see. But is it safe to assume that you've never felt the need to apply
for a passport or ventured further than neighboring countries where no
passport control is required?

Ask a full time career mechanic like my Dad and son-in-law. Most career
mechanics prefer SnapOn and/or Mac because the tools are better than are
available elsewhere no matter the plentiful commercials for Craftsman.
That they deliver to mechanic shops is an added benefit but not enough
to make up if their products were not better.

In that sense comparing to Apple works well. Try doing a technical
comparison between the Apple and PC of any era. There's no comparison.
The reason PCs are more popular is the price and the lack of technical
knowledge by most people. PCs are the MacDonalds of the computer realm.

Foodies tend to be unimpressed with MacDonalds for the same reasons that
mechanics tend to be unimpressed with Harbor Freight Tools for the same
reason geeks tend to be unimpressed with PCs. SnapOn is the Cray or
Whole Foods.

You're just a home-body, girl. I used to "staycation" close to
home when my kids were younger too. My cash went to feeding and
clothing them, paying for their educations (they graduated from
college debt free) and my house; not on fancy vacations. It's time to
see and do more while I'm physically able and mentally "in the zone".
I don't have the responsibilities that kept me close to home (in terms
of kids, pets and plants) - so it's easier for me to get away fast and
to stay away for longer periods of time now.

My husband has traveled to England once or twice on business,
and I never considered getting a passport. If he had some
emergency, what good would I do? I'm not a doctor or a nurse.

Of course, the most likely thing would have been that his
helicopter crashed, thus automating his cremation.

My GF used to travel to Europe regularly. Took her two years to save up
enough for two week trip. People with families and mortgages don't have
that kind of luxury. One person I know does travel to Europe regularly
however his wife works for an airline so he travels for free.

If you want to become a cop you're going to be fingerprinted, wanna
drive a school bus, fingerprinted, teacher, fingerprinted, clean the
school toilets, fingerprinted, everyone employed by a public school is
fingerprinted. Medical doctors are fingerprinted. Lawyers are
fingerprinted. Hospitals fingerprint all prospective employees. Most
large employers fingerprint prospective employees and conduct an
extensive background check, they also perform a physical exam
including drug testing and testing for venereal and other communicable
diseases, and record your DNA. Walmart fingerprints, and conducts
suprise drug tests... the most common reasons for dismissal is failing
a spot drug test and stealing, even eating a candy bar means instant
dismissal. For many occupations they won't hire anyone taking
particular Rx drugs. If you want to join the US military you're going
to be fingerprinted, and a whole lot more.

Snap-on and Mac both seem to me to have the marketing strategy: "If we
put big, big signs at race tracks and sponsor the cars of successful
drivers with our huge logos on the doors, the shade tree mechanic
will think we are exceptional and buy our products."

And: "We will hire salesmen to drive around to every repair garage in
the state so that if Joe Schmo has lost a tool he may buy a ton-o-stuff
while the truck is there, saving him a trip to a supplier's store."

It works.

Perhaps you should call yourself chattium cathium. It's a bloody NAME
for God's sake. Why does it have to "conform" to some "standard"?

I know someone who did just that while working for them. Seems they
had bought the chocolate bar and had the recipe and was on break. This
didn't matter to the manager, fired her, and was going to charge her
with theft, he even went so far as to call the cops. When the cops got
there and she produced the reciept, he was arrested for making a false
charge. They kept it quiet and the company settled out of court with
her, but never offered her back the job.
That's when the employees started to get a union in the workplace to
protect them, they closed the store rather than allow the union in.
