How witty, hope you didn't hurt yourself thinking of that sick zinger. Definitely never heard that one before.
Who the heck are you? You just started posting one day as if you've been here all along. Makes me think you're someone who exited and has returned with a different name. Hi boosted!
Boozy?
Sometimes I see interesting drink flights and I'm tempted, but I can't get past the fact that I know the employees absolutely hate them

I laughed so hard
Let me just wrap this up so that we can put it to bed.
Whenever we say anything, we have a chance of offending someone. If it is unintentional, then it should be laughed at or overlooked. It only really becomes an issue when done intentionally, like GTIfan did to prove this exact point - so gTIfan gets a pass on his last "joke" where he tried to offend as many religions as possible (he missed a few - was that intentional? Does that tell us what religion he really is?)
We tend to use references to religion in normal conversation and that means nothing. We have to be careful not to take those references too seriously. In my last post, I had initially typed "she needs to do PT religiously", but then changed that because I didn't want anyone to take that wrong given the other posts at the same time.
And herein lies the problem - that shouldn't be a problem in this forum unless it gets personal - and that is that society has become so touchy that everything seems to be an issue and contentious.
After 20 years in civil rights, I know it is OK to "let's go for a walk" with somebody in a chair - because the term doesn't literally mean "walking", but it means "moving around together" - unless you want to play the "I'm being picked on" card.
As far as religion is concerned, as a kid, we used to go to Sunday services at the post chapel, where the Catholic priest regularly made jokes about religion - a Catholic priest buried my dad at Arlington with the Masonic square and compass on his urn and the Rabbi on the base in Erbil, Iraq, scrounged MRIs from the Imam and the priest to cook up some evening meal - actually wasn't half bad. And that, IMO, is how we should approach religion in general - but certainly in this forum. I'd bet that most everyone, including nogod, agrees.

Hike sounds fun.
Just set up an alignment appointment for next week. Reputable shop (recommended by Dtfd).

This is actually a really good response. Did I over react to some comments, yes. Was some comments borderline over the line, yes. At the end of the day I'll have to take it as a grain of salt. I apologize for the massive derailment of the thread. Back to our regularly scheduled shenanigans.

I'm gonna try red harness belts with the GTI, because I didn't want to spend the money on a two door seatbelt receiver and the four door with the Corbeaus scares me. Schroth Rallye3, I like it for AX in my Mazda3 and not having to run a cage is nice. Just ordered one for now, if I like it I'll get one for the passenger's side as well.
Yeah, you're right, idfk. Maybe to make myself feel better about having procrastinated for two months? Plus to me it feels like the seasons have moved and instead of having winter Dec to March we're getting "winter" from Jan to April. I think the last real winter we had was like 2018.

Also CSB, a printer our team has been trying fo figure out for MONTHS is finally getting somewhere. Short version, there's an auger that's running in the wrong direction and causing toner to travel upward into the cartridge instead of downward, but everything I can see is connected correctly and I don't see anything that looks like it would be running the auger in the opposite direction. Working with the HP engineers now, so hopefully something comes of it.
