Re: Microsoft Updates.. Don't understand
Same here. I run XP Pro. Ever since last update from Microsoft 2 days ago, I have three that repeat themselves. On Updat troubleshooting, it advises to ignore the repeated requests, do not repeat installation and hopefully soon Microsoft will send out a corrective update.201Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tongue weight in Europe is around 7%
The fact that in Europe the distances travelled by road are far less than here is not mentioned in these opinions. Very rarely would you see travels of over 500 miles. If you were to travel the distance in Europe between like Washington and Miami, in Europe you would go through several countries/borders. Our needs are very different. That is why our needs are vastly different. The short distances travelled in Europe is directly related to all the higher costs of motoring. Small cars= small trailers+narrow roads= different needs.320Views0likes0CommentsRe: Daytime headlights
On long trips, during daylight and sunny days, upcoming traffic sees you much further ot with DLR. I personally know of a situation where the wife was killed, daughter badly injured and husband (driver) was in hospital for 9 months. They were on a two lane road, sun at their back and oncoming traffic pulled out to pass slow vehicule, and didn't see them for the sun.168Views0likes0CommentsRe: WARNING-Danger! Good Sam's stranded Disabled Elderly Couple!
I will not in good conscience doubt thee basic elements of Joyce's story. Isn't it obvious that these folks are/were in a very stressful situation? Who is to judge if they were making what others may think are proper decisions. Our own reactions might not be that far from theirs. Isn't it wrong that in this case family isn't there to help? thank God for a good samaritan. So.. easy to criticise, to judge, so hard to support or look for ways to improve. If you are stuck on the side of the highway, you need assistance right away, not in a few hours or in the morning. Life gets complicated when one grows older, especially with sickness. Growing in the country you learn to survive, BUT humans are not islands upon themselves. Can't we not be more constructive here? Jusst maybe, CW Road Assist. can evaluate and improve the type of response, after establishing that it it not a health emergency (or maybe it is) I extend a hand rather than judge presently.0Views0likes0Comments
