Didn't hit it straight on just ass end of the deer in the left head light but enough it lifted the hood all the way back to hinge. The insurance campy fixed it. You mentioned I was asking for confirmation not sure how that happened? was just mentioning it. The Forum is kind of difficult to maneuver but I'll figure it out. It does say I have 3 replies but can't seem to find them.?

You mentioned I was asking for confirmation not sure how that happened?

Down in the lower right is the "Reply with Quote" button, when you want to be clear as to who you are replying. Like I've done above.

I hassled you about the confirmation thing, because, well, I guess I'm pretty much an over-the-hill codger now. And the way the younger generation talks, sometimes just gets on my friggin nerves.

Three main things they do, that gets on my nerves.

1. They say, "right?" after almost every sentence. And sometimes right in the middle of a sentence. I don't have a long attention span. So when I'm trying to listen, and digest everything a person is saying, and they keep "righting" during the course of it, I want to acknowledge them by replying, "right." But then they go on, and I'm stuck and hung up on their "right?" And then when they just keep doing it, sometimes I start COUNTING the number of "rights?" they crank out ... and due to my short attention span next thing I know they've finished and I haven't heard a word they said, but I'm up to 64 "rights?" Saying "right?" distracts the hell out of me. So I don't like it.

2. At the begging, and in the middle of sentences, "like" is said continually. Again, it's a distraction. I don't tend to count them, but it is annoying.

3. I start clenching my fists, ready to tear someone's head off when they say (verbally): "Yeah no I know right?" What in the hell is that supposed to mean? What that translates to me is: Yes. No. I know. Right? WTF?

What I hear is: (An answer) Yes. And I think: Ok.
What I hear is: (An answer) No. And I think: Which one is it? Yes or no?
What I hear is: (A statement) I know. And I think: Ok.
What I hear is: (A question) Right? And I think: What the hell? You just said you know, so now why the hell are you asking me?


It contradicts itself back and forth. But it's just my grumpy old codger stuff. I've learned to block out the meaning of those words I hear when sequenced in that "cool / hip" fashion, and try not to want to rip the person's head off.
