    It’s the 1990’s: what motor oil and grade are you using?

    PYB 10W30 or VWB 10W30. I moved to Mobil1 about 10 years ago. I got my drivers license in 1968 and AFAIK I’ve never had an oil related engine failure.

    Societal addiction to phones

    I live near a city park and it’s shockingly sad to see how many parents bring the kids to the park then walk to a bench or picnic table and are on their phones while the kids entertain themselves! Many just park and let the kids out then get back in the car and then on the phone.

    Did the band l/act Kiss have hit? Article states they did

    In that same Oprah interview, Gene Simmons said he had never drank alcohol or done drugs! In the interviews I’ve seen of him, he’s a well spoken, down to earth, intelligent individual.

    Did the band l/act Kiss have hit? Article states they did

    On their ‘dressed to kill’ album they repeat “I want to rock and roll all night and party everyday” 11 times! I’ve hated that song for 50 years! Years ago Oprah asked Gene Simmons how long his tongue was, his reply….long enough to make you one of my closest friends!
